Affordable Factory Unlocks For ANY iPhone ( Including iPhone 5 ) On ANY Carrier

factory unlocks for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, HTC, Samsung, LG and most smartphones out there

It used to be, if you wanted your iPhone unlocked, you needed the the stars to be aligned just right. The right firmware, the right device, the right jailbreak. And when a new firmware was released, it could be months before the unlock was working again.

Then came a sneaky back-door option for using the activation tokens on the iPhone 4 and 4S. Again not the most optimum way to use your device on unsupported carriers. You still needed the jailbreak, and the activation tokens.

MuscleNerd: Evolution of iPhone Baseband and Unlocks [video]

Since the first iPhone in 2007, the baseband that Apple uses for cellular communications has evolved in terms of both hardware and software. Some of the changes were minor but others were quite drastic and obviously aimed at deterring carrier unlocks.

HOW TO: Use SAM to Unlock Any iPhone Regardless of iOS Version or BaseBand!

how to unlock any iPhone one any iOS and any baseband with SAM

It was only a few days ago that I was having a discussion with a friend about the reasons the masses have when they decide to make the leap and jailbreak their iPhone.

Generally there are only 3 main reasons many have for jailbreaking their iPhone, everything else made available when you do is simply an added bonus. One reason is to unlock your phone, allowing it to be used on any network. Another is for on-device development and testing purposes. The third is for installing pirated apps [which we neither support or agree with].

In the case of the first reason there has been very little to celebrate as there has been no release of the main tool, ultrasn0w, for quite some time which means you’re out of luck if you have an updated baseband or newer device.

However the SAM tool from developer sbingner has you covered with a little help from iTunes thanks to a little playing around from Chinese Researcher Loktar_Sun.

Ultrasn0w Fixer For iOS 5.1

Ultrasn0w fixer is a workaround for unlocking iPhones that run iOS 5.1

On March 7th, Apple has rolled out iOS 5.1. Turns out that, for non-A5 devices redsn0w can already jailbreak ( tethered ) the new iOS, and iH8sn0w has released an updated version of sn0wbreeze to support it.  Unfortunately, there are some problems with ultrasn0w, but today we have a workaround until the iPhone DevTeam updates the official package to fully support iOS 5.1

HOW TO: Make Gevey SIM Work On iOS 5 And Unlock Your iPhone

It’s great that we can finally untether jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 ( iPhone 4S/iPad 2 jailbreak coming in a week ), but what about an unlock? Ultrasn0w was updated for iOS 5.0.1, but unfortunately it supports the same old basebands. If you have a gevey SIM ( and a compatible baseband ) you’re in luck, because today we’re going to show you how to make it work on iOS 5.

Ultrasn0w iPhone Unlock Updated With iOS 5.0.1 Support

A couple of days ago, we told you that the iPhone DevTeam will update ultrasn0w with support for iOS 5.0.1 and they will release it on Cydia, Monday. Apparently, everything was sorted out and working as planed, so the new ultrasn0w is available to download now.

NOTE: This new update just brings support for iOS 5.0.1 and it won’t unlock any new basebands. Basebands it will work on: iPhone 4 ( 01.59.00 ) and iPhone 3G/3GS (04.26.08 , 05.11.07, 05.12.01,05.13.04 and 06.15.00 ).

If you don’t want to wait for pod2g’s untethered jailbreak, and want to try the unlock now, you can use redsn0w to create a custom ipsw and restore your device with it. A custom ipsw will update your device to the latest firmware but it won’t update your baseband.

Ultrasn0w for iOS 5.0.1 Will Be Available On Cydia Next Monday

 

Earlier today, we told you that the iPhone DevTeam has released an updated redsn0w which comes with iOS 5.0.1 support. In the tool’s notes, the DevTeam mentioned something we totally missed: ‘ultrasn0w compatability update (i.e. same baseband requirements) for 5.0.1 will be available on Cydia Monday‘.

Unfortunately ( for some ) this is not a brand new release, and it will unlock the same basebands as before: iPhone 4 ( 01.59.00 ) and iPhone 3G/3GS ( 04.26.08 , 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04 and 06.15.00 ).

Let’s just hope that pod2g will drop the untethered jailbreak soon, and we’ll all have a Merry Christmas.
