A few weeks ago we told you about a trick to activate an iPhone without the original SIM card. This was used by jailbreakers and unlockers who didn’t have the original SIM card to activate their iPhone. It worked well for a while but it seems Apple caught up to it and put an end to it all by hooking the activation wildcard ticket to the ICCID of the used SIM. Fortunately, an alternative method was found to go around the “Different SIM Detected” message you might get.
Step 1: Download iFunBox from here.
Step 2: Download the patched LockDown folder from here.
Step 3: Run iFunBox and sync it with your iPhone.
Step 4: Go to /private/var/root/Library/ and replace the Lockdown folder with the one you downloaded in step 2.
Step 5: Reboot your iPhone.
I haven’t tried this myself but it seems to work well. If you do try it, please let us know how it went by leaving a comment below.
