X-SIM & iPhone 5 Sprint SMS and 3G Functionality Fix
 

UPDATE February 2014:

If have iPhones in hands please email us @ [email protected] for Sprint/other CDMA patch applications testing.

Old Topic Text:

Make sure that your X-SIM works on Sprint iphone 5 (insert sim card with X-SIM, enter 3101200, accept and restart phone. If, after a minute or two, phone displays 'Waiting for activation' that is OK. After 3-5 minutes phone should display 'Could not activate iPhone'.
Click 'Ignore' and if you see signal bar and network name X-SIM is setup well.
Wait for a little while to make sure that your phone has a solid signal.
If it fails after a several minutes, that means that your card is not supported (maybe some un-supported SIM Card).
Now you have working Sprint iPhone 5 but without SMS and 3G network functionality.
That is OK, because Sprint disables those functionality by default (even on unlocked phones).

Now, a complete procedure what to to:
1. To Jailbreak it you need to download evasi0n from evasi0n iOS 6.x Jailbreak - official website of the evad3rs and Jailbreak your iPhone
2. Open Cydia and wait to configure filesystem. Re-open Cydia.
3. Install SAM from repo.bingner.com in Cydia\sources (of course, you'll have to tap edit/add to add that source in cydia)
4. Open SAM and enable Hactivate option.
5. Download iFunbox (i-FunBox v2.1 | File Manager, Browser, Explorer, Transfer Tool for iPhone, iPad & iPod) and run it
6. Click on raw filesystem and open System, Library, CarrierBundles
6. Delete 3 folders: 310120, Sprint_LTE_(...something...) and Sprint_Virgin(...something...)
7. Now back to raw filesystem and open folder var, Wireless, Library. Search for any file that has extension .plist in that folder and ALL of the subfolders and delete it.
* Now you have iPhone that doesn't know from what network it came from
8. Restart iPhone
9. Insert plain SIM card without any interposter. As if it is a SIMfree iPhone. Activation screen will not popup because you have jailbreak and SAM
installed. Go to setting/carrier and enable manually search for network.
* If there is no Carrier option, just tick on Airplane mode On/Off and Carrier should appear.
10. When your iPhone displays networks available, Eject SIM card and put in X-SIM together with your SIM card. Make sure that in Setting/General/About it displays Carrier 14.0 (as if it is a SIMfree phone).
11. Open SAM, turn off Hactivate option, go to Utilities and tick Atemp Activation.
Phone should Respring and you'll have iPhone 5 with SMS and 3G functionality
* Off course turn on Data Roaming option in General/Cellular Data

Important note: DO NOT ACCEPT Carrier update from iPhone or iTunes, or you'll have again Sprint settings which disables SMS and 3G.

1a) All those having activation error in step 11 (during attempt activation)
1. Insert Sprint SIM
2. Copy ICCID and IMSI info. from more information in SAM under sim details.
3. Remove Sprint SIM, and insert you sim card with your X-SIM.
4. Now configure SAM manually(use ICCID and IMSI info you copied) and attempt activation.
* iPhone should be connected on wifi for attempt activation

Thanks for this manual goes to all X-SIM users who found out the procedure and allowed us gather all this info and share it to all X-SIM customers.

Yours,
X-SIM Team

of course team, although without Sam application still works...

so important step when finish all then restart network setting intro general menu; insert regular SIM card without any X-sim nano, as if it is a SIMfree iPhone and Activation screen will be appears popup, get out sim and insert x-sim, wait signal and full bars get 3G.

important: try this manual goes to all X-SIM users who found out the procedure and allowed us gather all this info or product manager team manual similar

some iP5 sprint or verizon have change diferent files .plis may be have 2 or more files

Don't know if this is important, but is a step I had to follow in step 6. I also had to delete my current carrier folder (in my case Tigo Colombia) in order to get the "Carrier 14.0"

this step will work on old sim, but not nano sim or 128k sim.

Not work for me bro i have deleted 3 folders: 310120, Sprint_LTE_(...something...) and Sprint_Virgin(...something...) and also daleted in var,Wireless,Library. Search for any file that has extension .plist in that folder and subfolder but not done message and 3g for me in ios 6.0.1 any idea???????????????????????

ok bro review go to var, wireless, library intro a preference folder have 2 0r 6 .plist files may be (recommended via ifunbox by usb) delete all them, next on restart and put xsim coupled with nano sim, enjoy ;)

:D

how about iphone 5 sprint on 6.1.3 which cannot delete carrier bundle, how to solve sms and internet issue?

u better wait till JB comes till that u can not do anything

cdmagsm03

of course, waiting for jb programmers team fix that to 6.1.3 (not dot update people yet)

today still nothing...

:D

i manage settle unlock iphone 5 sprint iOS 6.1.3 by using a patch file,
SMS is working, internet will depend sim card, some will get EDGE speed and some with 3G. this patch file need to buy and one patch file for one iphone, it come with a key.

Will this work on my sprint iPhone 4S ios 6.1? Becuz I can't send SMS or 3G

can you share with us the patch you're talking about? thanks

Just go to R-SIM??? and check procedure.
All can be done 'next-next-next'. :)
Working with X-SIM 101%!

iphone 4s just need to add APN at Unlockit - APN Changer for your iPhone from your iphone safari by using wifi and try.

this not work with ios 6.1.3 where cannot jailbreak.

the patch need to buy, i didn't sell, but you can try add APN from your iphone safari browser using wifi at Unlockit - APN Changer for your iPhone

where can i buy it ?

i can sell the patch to you provided you agree as below

1. i didn't tested your country simcard, i not guarantee it will work.
2. i tested on sprint iphone 5 ios 6.1.3 and it work with Malaysia 70% of simcard.
3. i'm authorize x-sim reseller at Malaysia, i didn't tested other country simcard. it may not work due to simcard compatible issue.
4. if you agree the above, then you can purchase the patch at 7usd.

P.S: so far we tested and found that 128k and nano sim chance to work very minimum, use normal sim or micro sim cut to nano size to test, chance are higher.

you're right, its probably regarding the country or the sim itself, i have done everything and it seems its the activation of the gsm side of the phone, nothing else

your iphone is sprint iphone 5 ios 6.1.3? now is no network? can it make call?

if the sim you tested no network and can make call, then the patch will help you solve sent sms, show network and internet problem.

the iphone is 4s sprint ios 6.1.3 correct, no network, no call no nothing, weird thing is that when i put it in airplane mode it says iphone is not activated

the patch i mention only can help iphone 5, iphone 4s 6.1.3 i have no problem, please get few more other carrier simcard to test.

hi, thanks for the instruction: I manage to unlock my i4S 6.0.1 IMEI: 990000xxxxxxxx with XSIM. Locked to China telecom. I just want to ask/know if this will for me.

after unlocking: incoming and outgoing call works perfectly, sms incoming works fine, 3G works fine, but outgoing sms cannot send.

Thanks a lot for your help

Iphone 4s X-Sim activation problem
 

I have an Iphone 4s , IOS 6.1.3
The phone is locked to US Virgin Mobiile
I used X-Sim to unlock using IMSI 3160101, when IMSI is entered the i can make calls and receive calls and also receive sms messages , but i can't send sms messages and i can't connect to the internet.
However when i use the IMSI 3101200 i get the 3G status but the phone will not pass the activation stage.
can anyone help

Have you tried adding this patch? www.rsim5.com/cdma3g
That should work for the 4s, the 5 is much more complicated though and requires the program they are talking about.

Haven't tried it but i will , thanks

Patch did not work, any other suggestions ?

Please be aware when downloading files we have not published as a team.

cdmagsm03

yes, the special patch is 100% working for cannot sms and cannot internet issue. other problem is sim card not compatible issue.
please know your problem first before buy the patch.

ok ok may be 128 k sim card type not all carriers compatible issue, but in Spain or Venezuelan only buy this one, doesnt have 64 k or less...

so waiting for best compatible issue

usually we advice get a basic type simcard and cutted to nano size, the chance to support unlock is higher. original nano sim chance are slim.

It's not important how much kbytes!
The type of card is important only - SIM or USIM (Universal sim). If SIM - ok, else - not working.

of course waiting for support fix soon...

rsim8 no use dongle but is very expensive for first in the world solution sprint 6.1.4 :S

Gevey AIO also has own patch.
