More then week ago all iPhone users that didn't unlocked their phones yet had this chance thanks to SAM unlock method. Use my guide to do that quickly. It was great working method but it had been lasting not too long because Apple started to close the unlocking possibility by updating their activation servers security. So, to keep your SAM unlock for the future use you need to save your iPhone activation ticket. There are several ways to do that but I can recommend you to use RedSn0w 0.9.10b8 to save it automatically. But what is iPhone activation ticket? Today I want to talk about that. Activation is actually an operation where a new or restored iPhone may get by the “Emergency Call Screen” plus it allows your iPhone to connect to a cellular network. The code or “ticket” that enables activation resides in the iOS lockdownd folder. This means that if you connect your iPhone to iTunes after Restore it creates an Activation ticket and sends it to Apple activation server. And if everything good server will make WildcardTicket and indicates it with Apple private key. WildcardTicket is needed to activate your iPhone baseband and it carries all info concerning SIM or network unlocks. If your iPhone is factory-unlocked then WildcardTicket allows to use any SIM. To locate your iPhone activation ticket you can use iFile and find it here:

/var/root/Library/Lockdown/activation_records/wildcard_record.plist

Apple servers manage all iGadgets associated activations that was lately patched by Apple company to stop any “fake” activations using SAM unlock. The iPhone requires a cellular data connection initially, following the activation in iTunes. Every single ticket is different to any Sim and iPhone therefore this is the reason you’re unable to use your saved activation ticket on numerous gadgets. This ticket is legitimate for 3 years therefore it’s essential to save it in the event you want to do iPhone restore. You can also use Cookie Cydia app to save iPhone activation ticket or do it manually here and sleep well. Now you know why iPhone activation ticket is needed and what it really means. So share this post to people who are asking about that because it is not much info about iPhone activation ticket you can find.
