Hi, the IMEI of the phone isn't the same as the number on the Sim. Also, the IMEI can be readily obtained in settings/about on the phone.

Hi, Yes - thats what most people use it for, but it from memory will also give you the imei which is what I think you're after. You don't have to do anything like jailbreak to run it; just open it with your phone connected and it *should* detect the phone and give you some different bits of information about it. If you think you've messed up whilst using it and for whatever reason you accidentally pressed a button and your phone stops talking which could happen, just remember that tinyUmbrella won't do anything permanent to your phone - rebooting it will bring it back to how it was. In otherwords, downgrading the operating system is a multi step process which involves tinyUmbrella, iTunes and some files that you need to download - there simply is no way that you will inadvertently downgrade the phone just by running tinyUmbrella. When I used it, I was trying to find out what network a 3GS that I had acquired was locked to. It was an American network and I'm in the uk, so I was unable to activate the phone to get any info from it at all. Using tinyUmbrella, I found the imei and confirmed via a website I found that that specific imei was locked to at&t. That phone in question did end up jailbroken, but that was because I needed to use an unofficial unlock - you have no need to jailbreak if you don't want to. Cheers, Ben.
