Activate iPhone 5 using AT&T GoPhone Prepaid Sim Card

I will update this post when I finish this journey.

Remote unlock websites have been having trouble with servers and prices have sore to more than $100 to unlock a single iPhone. I will try another method.

This is a test on unlocking an iPhone using a GoPhone sim card and this website https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/. 

This is not the fastest way to unlock it but possible the slowest. According to the website "Prepaid / GoPhones: Device has been active for at least 6 months". 

I recently bought an iPhone 5 on eBay which needed to be activated. 

To activate it I used a GoPhone prepaid sim card that can be easily be purchased on eBay.
I'm not sure if this really matters but the SKU was 72290. 
The sim card was just to activated.

I will update this post when I finish this journey. I am planning on paying at&t for 6 months of service on GoPhone prepaid service, and then unlocking it through at&t's website. Again this is not the fastest but if you are going to spend $100 I rather get something more in return.

int blue = 3;
int red = 5;
int green = 6;
int randred;
int randblue;
int randgreen;

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);

  pinMode(blue, OUTPUT);

  randomSeed(analogRead(0));
}
void loop(){
  randblue = random(0,256);
  randred = random(0,256);
  randgreen = random(0,256);

  analogWrite(blue,randblue);
  analogWrite(red,randred);

iTunes Error 3200 iPod, iPhone, Apple TV and iPad

The new iOS 5 for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and iOS 4.4 for Apple TV came out yesterday. Everyone with an iOS device rush to get it making Apple server(downloads) slow. The flood also made some, a lot of people get an error when trying to update their iOS device.

I for example, was trying to update my Apple TV to 4.4 but i kept getting error 3200. I also tried to update using a PC but still the same problem. 

The way I solved this problem.was a few tricks. (I was using a mac)

Downlod TinyUmbrella Here.

Download iOS 5 or Apple TV Firmware Here

Open up TinyUmbrella and press Start the TSS Server.

Open up Terminal 

Type or copy and paste sudo nano /private/etc/hosts

Look for any line containing gs.apple.com and put a #  before the line. 

Save it as by pressing Option and O host.umbrella, yes to overwrite 

Save it again this time as host, yes to overwrite.

Open up iTunes and restore your iOS device (You can choose  the firmware by pressing Option and restore at the same time)

This made my Apple TV take longer to update but it updated successfully without any errors.

Hope this helps anyone.
