Subscriber Artificial Module (SAM)

Installation

This will allow you to do official activation on an iPhone without a stock SIM - it MAY help with Battery Drain issues, but that is NOT the primary purpose of this.

This is pointless on anything but an iPhone

• Add http://repo.bingner.com as a repo in Cydia
• Install "SAM" and "SAMPrefs"
• Follow the steps in Troubleshooting/Hacktivated with redsn0w or PwnageTool
• Go to Settings > SAM and touch "De-Activate iPhone"
• Activate with iTunes
  If iTunes says invalid SIM, you will need to manually select the appropriate carrier under one of the methods besides "Automatic" and click on a SIMID.
