Most of you already know that after hacktivating your iPhone with tools like Redsn0w, PwnageTool or Sn0wbreeze, Push Notifications do not work until you install a patch like Push Fix or Push Doctor from Cydia. After installing Push Fix or Push Doctor, if you are unsure about the working of the Push Notifications on your iDevice, you can test it with a simple free app called iPusher.
iPusher is available for free via App Store. Just search "iPusher" in App Store and download this handy app. Once installed, open the app and click on the Test Push Notifications button. If the button text changes to Please wait... and you do not see any popup saying Yay, push notifications work fine!, it means there is something wrong with your settings. If all of your settings are fine, then you should get the popup shown in the screenshot below:
The best way to enable Push Notifications on a hacktivated iPhone is through SAM. SAM is a Subscriber Artificial Module which tricks iTunes to generate legitimate activation tickets for your iPhone and allows you to activate it without official carrier SIM card. SAM not only enhances the battery life of your iPhone but also enables full working Push Notifications on your iDevice. To activate your iPhone using SAM, follow the step-by-step guide here. Once fully activated, you do not need to install Push Fix or Push Doctor from Cydia.
Download iPusher from App Store.

Hi, could you help me … my problem is I have no push notifications, I’m from mexico , I made the tutorial and SAM shows me wildcardactivated but the application ipusher does not show any notification…only please wait…
can you help me??
excuse my English I speak very little
my carrier is Telcel in Mexico and I have a att&t iphone4
Thanks and I hope your help
Did you reboot your device right after you completed activating via SAM? Uninstall iPusher, reboot & allow sync with your computer. Then reinstall iPusher, again reboot & sync. iPusher should be working just fine now.
yay this worked but I did that Backup Activation>>Deactivate iPhone>>Restore Activation in Sam than this n now im good thanx alot luv yall
im havin a problem wit push notifications 4.3.3 ! Iv downloaded sam from repobingner ! and once I open it it says that theres an error ! and nothin else shows ! so any suggestions plz ?
Uninstall SAM. Now search and uninstall SAM’s dependency as well which are ACUtil & Stockify. Now go back to the repo and download SAM once again. This time you will not have any errors.
thanks for quick reply, dude! But i was just wondering what will happen if i change the IMEI on SAM? Also, since im wildcard activated, im pretty sure if i change my sim card on different network, it will say error, therefore, i will need to do this step: http://jaxov.com/2011/05/fix-sim-card-not-supported-error-while-activating-iphone-with-sam/ is that correct.
You told me that “about blocked IMEI, its up to the carrier to take the necessary steps as whether to activate you or not over its network.” so does that mean the iphone is useless even though i put the gevey sim on with a different network sim?
thanks dude
Changing IMEI is not advisable. So I really haven’t tried that method and you too shouldn’t try it as well. The one in SAM will let you generate a different token for the activation which corresponds to a different IMEI, but again I never have bothered to use it. And about the blocked IMEI problem, I really can’t tell you how your carrier will let you use a phone with the blocked IMEI. They may/ maynot try out anything funny as well. You never know.
cant i use the tutorial for sim card not supported error.. http://jaxov.com/2011/05/fix-sim-card-not-supported-error-while-activating-iphone-with-sam/.
Can i do adjust some setting for SAM?? e.g I went to SAM app, More info, and when click on the IMEI..it seems that i can edit the IMEI..i havent actually edit the IMEI…not sure if this can be done…
btw my activationstate says its WildcardActivated.
Yes grand, you can go ahead and very well use this tutorial to get yourself out of the Wrong SIM card Inserted error. But since your already WildCard Activated, your already officially activated by Apple and so you don’t need to do anything else on SAM. About adjusting the IMEI details in SAM, yes you can go ahead and do that as well provided you know the original IMEI details of the actual SIM that came along with it.
Mine just say please wait…and it loads for a long time…i have a blocked iphone 4 with the current sim on it…wat do i do??
I’m afraid, but you’ll have trouble in getting your iPhone activated since your IMEI is blocked. :(
I have iphone 4 4.3.2 hacktivated i dont have push notfication but on nimbuzz chat i have and this push doctor dont work me too
If Push Notifications work for one app, it means Push Notifications are enabled and are working fine. Go to Settings -> Notifications (ON) and make sure you have Push Notifications turn ON for specific app!
I have been turned it on but it wont work:( like facebook or im+
If Push Notifications are working for Facebook or IM+ then they should work on Nimbuzz as well. Its not the issue with your Push Notifications at all. Either the Push Notifications settings within Nimbuzz app are not configured properly or there is some issue in the Nimbuzz itself. Reinstalling might help in that case.
Nonono nimbuzz push is work fine just the other apps are not working….:(
You tried iPusher?
Yes it wont work too
Ok. You tried to active Push Notifications using SAM?
Yes tried with my t-mobile sim card but it dont work. I need another card to activate because my current SIM card is not supported.
Use Push Doctor then http://bit.ly/m6o6XG
I have been downloaded but the push dont work :(
Reboot and sync iPhone with your PC.
Its good when ipusher shows Yay,push notfications…
Yeah! It means Push Notifications are working fine :D
It dont need to show yay push notfications work fine? Because in facebook i dont have push notification:(
And i have turned it on on settings
I am confused, do iPusher displays yay push notfications work fine or not? Also you will only get Push Notifications from Facebook app only when someone will reply you or write on your wall.
Ipusher shows : “yay, push notifications…” not push notifications work fine
If iPusher says Yay, push notifications work fine! then it means your Push Notifications are working fine and SHOULD work on every iPhone app which support Push Notifications. Also note that it is not necessary that you will get Push Notifications instantly when you get a mention on Twitter or someone writes on your Facebook wall.
But my ipusher says “yay, push notifications…” why does it say that and how can i fix this problem?
It means Push Notifications are working fine. Cheers :)
O great it shows push notifications work fine THANSK A LOT:):):):):):)):):)::):))::):
Now if I could only install cydia….
No, iPusher is available through App Store, not Cydia.
if u dnt have cydia that means ur not jailbroken n that mean push notification will be working
