Unblock stolen iphone?

[awelsh]

ZiPhone and Pwnage tool let you change the IMEI number on the phone so ye...

yeah thats what I thought it did, thing hes got the ZiPhone thing too. It had something on there like change authentication key, then you had to de-activeate it and then re-active it for it to work.

Even more ilegality, and can easily be traced as soon as it is connected to the network within a few hundred yards.

Once the IMEI is changed and is used on a different network Apple can't trace you due to them not signing a deal with other network companies, so yes it is more morally wrong but still.... as if you watch WWDC Steve Jobs knows all about the jailbreaking etc and he was laughing about it, the fact of that matter is I can't see apple/o2 tracing down one phone, however I could be wrong, but still I would return it as that is morally wrong if I had a spare iPhone i would probably mess around with it by changing the IMEI etc.

No, the network can trace it, not Apple.

Can you unblock an iphone that has been reported stolen.

My cousin has one and its been reported as stolen and now he cant dial out from it or anything.

Anyway to get it back functioning or is that the end of it?

In other words your cousin stole it from someone and is now wondering why it won't work!?

You won't be able to unblacklist a stolen handset!

No, my cousin got it from his uncle, he did not steal it he had it given to him. Hi uncle must have stole it or whoever gave it to him.

If the IMEI number can be changed then it will no longer be blacklisted.

You can't change the IMEI of a phone.

Not legally anyway.
