Unlock iPhone 4 and The Dev Teams Silence! What Other Options Do We Have?

by Ali on January 5, 2011

So yeah, The Dev Team, MuscleNerd most importantly is not saying a word on the unlock iPhone 4 baseband 2.10.01 / 3.10.01 situation. People on the other hand blaming me for giving them the New Years Eve Date. Well, first of all, just to be clear I am not the one working or making the unlock. Secondly I am just spreading the word, giving some hope and updating all those who have been waiting and stuck in this situation for over 3-4 months now. You all know about the reports of a possible Ultrasn0w solution on Christmas or on New Years Eve.

So, the things are not working out for MuscleNerd and the latest tweet from Sherif Hashim was to wait. According to him the unlock iPhone 4 solution will come right after the tests and the whole development. If it didn’t come out on New Years or on Christmas that means its not ready yet.

Now, many of you are asking about the legitimacy of the websites which offer unlock options. Here is what I think:

1. Yes it is possible to pay your carrier some fee and unlock iPhone 4.

2. Not all websites are legit.

3. Yes, you can contact the websites and ask them about the procedure. (if you can get me procedure details I can confirm its legit or not)

4. Do not waste your money on any site or trust anyone you are not sure of. Ask experts and talk to us before just throwing your money on an unlock solution.

5. You JUST can not unlock an iPhone 4 on AT&T Network by asking or paying them any fee. Only Ultrasn0w can Unlock iPhone 4 on AT&T Carrier.

6. There are no softwares or Ultrasn0w alternatives for unlocking iPhone 4. So do not download or try or pay for such softwares.

So there you go, the very last option is to pay your carrier and get yourself a factory unlocked iPhone 4. What they do is they take the fee and register your iPhone 4 IMEI with Apple. So, the next time you connect it with iTunes, it automatically recognizes it and you can then just use any SIM and enjoy a factory unlocked iPhone 4. This has no bandwidth restrictions, even if you are on 2.10.01 / 3.10.01, iOS 4.1 or iOS 4.2.1 you are free to use any SIM.

So, the best way to do this is contact your carrier (Vodafone, O2, etc…) and tell them about the situation and see if they can help you. Also, try to find someone in your city, there are people who actually do this. They will charge a few extra bucks but you can always claim your money back if they fail to deliver.

So, you can either ask your carrier or wait for a week or so for an Ultrasn0w solution. I will update you with that…

This should answer all your questions from Twitter and Facebook fan page. You can still ask me anything and I would love to help you out. Let me know if I missed anything and I’ll update this post…

Join me on Facebook or Twitter for the latest updates, or you can have a chit chat with me on Google+

    Hi, I have iphone 3g firmware 4.0, but the modem firmware stay 05.15.04(ios 4.2.1). How can i downgrade the baseband with current firmware 4.0? Need help.

  • Sattu

    Apple store don’t sell unlocked iphone. Iphone you bought is non-contract based NOT unlocked. Non-contract means you don’t have contract with AT&T for 2 years but since it is a tie up between Apple and AT&T, person has to use AT&T carrier. It is like person already have AT7T sim with him and need another phone.

    I found a Way to Unlock my iPhone Just try visit: www. BestUnlockiPhone. com

    Something new, maybe as an update!

    The best thing to do, is get it factory unlocked, and therefor, you’d best go to the retail apple store, or contact your carrier (the one you have right now!). Its a lot of money, but its worth not having to wait for an unlock after an update, not to wait for anybody to put up an ETA for the unlock, Apple will always keep fighting, and if they can cone up with someting like this, having to wait for over 5 months, maybe even 6, then you’d better get it factory unlock, because, when the update is here, they’ll have somethin to fix, you update, and BAM! Another baseband update.. I’m beginning to KNOW Apple, its what they do. So please, take the balls to go to the Apple store, pay a friggin load of money for the unlock to never have to wait for an unlock again, OR, wait for an unlock, let Apple update some shit, MuscleNerd, devteam, Comex and GeoHotz, and the other iphone hackers and baseband crashers that I didn’t mention, have to go trough all this shit again for more than 6 months, and in the meantime, you’re eager for the new update, can’t leave it on the webz, you put it on your iPhone and there goes your baseband unlock! Messed up? Yes it is! So please BUY an unlock, and don’t do it online, it won’t work, go to the Apple store, its real, it works, its f**king expensive, but its worth it!

    you can try and upload ipad 3.2.2 baseband useing redsn0w 0.9.6 b5 or 0.9.6 b6 and then unteather useing latest version of greenpois0n RC5!! its just a theory but a theory i personaly am not willing to try due to NOT having a spare iphone if things go wrong or iphone gets bricked!! baseband 3.10.01 is along way from being unlocked atm so you can either try my theory or just sit tight and wait!! :-D

    hi
    i have the same problem of iphone 4 with baseband 3.10.01 from at&t usa. were you able to unlock your phone in india ? please advise. I was looking at this website www iphoneunlockuk com . they say for 89pounds they would factory unlock the phone.. but i think i just burnt my fingers by using unlockiphone4.org and paying 30$ with no reply from them… so very apprehensive to use any other online website..

  • Trbaks

    Waw! feels good to be back on this site and checking upon updates. Glad that there is no movement in status. 3weeks back fed up with all false promises, decided to get a new factory unlocked iphone 4. Belive me guys, I think since that have made a right decision. Peace of mind is more important than money.
    Happy waiting!

    Well I did search in the local market in Mumbai(India) and found a solution. U can get any of your carrier locked Iphone 4 “factory unlocked” (YESS even the latest baseband ones) by paying as much as 5000/- INR(fix price). You have to submit your IMIE number and the name of the carrier your Iphone is locked with(say At&T)!!
    It takes 5 days for your unlock codes to be released. You do not have to submit your Iphone to these guys, just connect your Iphone to iTunes after 5 days. Its sort of official factory unlock for the Iphone 4. Maybe expensive but you do get a factory unlocked handset in the end and do not have to wait on the mercy of Dev team or anyone!!

    Go and buy Gevey sim card which can unlock your iphone4. They are now available on Ebay and Amazon. Do a bit of Googling and you will know more about it. This card works for India as well.

    hay just found out way to unlock Iphone4 with any firmware virsion with baseband of 03.10.01 follow the below step..

    here what u need to unlock ur iphone ur iphone must be jailbroken and must have the gevey sim anyone no matter its pro,supreme or fake, gevey works with anyone and the best part is i have the fake one and it works awesome.. :D

    1st-take out ur sim tray and simcard..

    2nd-go to cydia and tap on search and type mobile substrate u can see it already down in search below( if its tick marked with green just click
    go to modify and remove it, once u do it cyida will ask to reboot or restart and click on it..

    3rd-when it starts up again go to cydia and then manage then sources and edit add this repo.. (http://cydia.furiousMod.com) then u will find the source for furios in the sources click
    on it then click the furios mod install it once u done with  this   it will install the mobile substrate and all other files needed.. so now installation complete
    turn off ur iphone and put ur sim with the geveysim and when it turns on just wait for the signal to come up no more dialing yahooo

    Note-it works with any gevey…  please dont forget to tell people that it was me the first one to post by Arash(means facepustok)
