Sorry you are having a hard time.
According to your post you are jailbroken and thru cydia you have installed the latest ultrasn0w.
When you start up your 3G iPhone with the carrier sim you want to use, do you see CARRIER when you open Settings?
Next check GENERAL then ABOUT. Do you see the updated baseband 06.15?
Also google your carrier's cellphone settings like APN etc.
Check SETTINGS, GENERAL, NETWORK, CARRIER SETTINGS. Here you can try and add your carrier settings. Then reboot the iPhone once you made the changes.

I'm sorry you are going thru this frustration. I hope you are able to get your iPhone to work.

When you put the sim card in your brother's iphone, look for the carrier settings and write them down. Then put the sim card in your iphone and add the carrier settings to your iphone. Then reboot your iphone and see if you get a signal.

Try to google for your apn settings or see if cydia has a tweek you can install for vodafone.

What country and carrier are you trying to get a cellular signal? You might need to tweak it.

Is it possible to get a friend's AT&T SIM card that is on AT&T's iPhone service to get your iPhone activated? I did that and that stopped the messages to activate.

Sorry your post said you had an AT&T SIM in a Softbank iPhone.

Since your 3G iPhone is jailbroken and unlocked it's not clear where your post is going.

Are you using the iPhone in the USA? If you are and your trying to get the iPhone activated, you might try the SAM posted by the blog. Also the only carrier that will work other than AT&T is T-Mobile.

Let us know if we are helping.

Your in luck because your 3G iPhone can be JB untethered and your baseband doesn't need 6.15. Does your AT&T SIM set up with AT&T's iPhone service?

AT&T requires that iPhones have not only a carrier service but also a data service. If you don't have service with AT&T's iPhone service then your best bet is to either start service with them (and maybe get a new iPhone) or JB, unlock and use your 3G iPhone on T-Mobile.

I did a google search and found out that Apple installed a GPS chip for the 3GS & the iPhone 4. On the iPhone 4 the band on the phone is suppose to help with improved reception of GPS signals.
On the 3GS when outdoors the iPhone not only relies on tower and WIFI signals but also GPS signals.
Here's the dilemma. Unless you have the maps already from an app then you only need a GPS signal to locate. If you don't have maps then you need the Internet to get the maps downloaded to your iPhone thus you need either cellular or WIFI signals.
I was in Japan with my iPhone 4 and I only had the stock app Maps. It was worthless without an Internet signal to get the maps and show me where I was.
I believe people having issues with the 6.15 BB GPS is because they are not getting any signal for the iPhone to locate.

Go to settings, about and see what baseband you have. If you see 6.15 or 5.13 or less, then it can be unlocked using ultrasn0w from cydia.
In cydia check your packages to see if ultrasn0w is already installed.
Also what carrier is your sim card? You might have to google search to adjust the settings for the cellular service you are trying to use.
