Loktar_Sun has discovered a new method for unlocking the iPhone, according to a report posted by Laforet.
The method uses Sam Bingner's SAM (Subscriber Artificial Module) package that can be installed on jailbroken phones.
It has been confirmed working by iPhone Dev-Team member MuscleNerd who notes an update may be coming to SAM from @sbingner to make the procedure simpler.
Loktar_Sun's method will work to unlock your iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, or iPhone 3G. We've posted detailed step by step instructions on how to unlock your device here.
Hi John,G'day. Wondering if I'm the only one having a prolebm in dowloading this podcast (#350). I'm using a PC and have been trying to download since yesterday but its' giving me an error that the file cannot be is unavailable or cannot be found. Would you mind tkaing a second look.Thanks.
Confirmed working with the following:
- iPhone 4s locked to AT&T
- iPhone 4 locked to Vodafone Spain
- iPhone 4 locked to Telenor Sweden
It can practically run with all sims provided you just register one with the prescribed method.
Remember you put sim in with no gevey (the SIM that is unsupported)
You must be jailbroken
I finally fixed the proböem with step 7!!!
First you have to use the SIM card the phone i locked to. Open SAM and go to More Information and copy the IMSI.
Close SAM and change to the SIM card you want to use with the unlock.
When you are at step 6, instead change the IMSI to the one we copied from the old SIM card.
This worked great for me with the Swedish Carrier Telia.
Every time i connect my iphone during step 7 . The itunes tell me that the inserted sim is not compatible with mine. Any idea how to resolve this???????? Plz asap
I've got the same thing... Followed the guide and step 7 fails. iTunes says the SIM isn't supported. In step 4 I chose "SIM ID" and there was only one choice, I can't uncheck that now... maybe that's the case.
I have a Sprint (CDMA) 5.0.1 JB and i have a spare StraightTalk sim that I want to try out which is a GSM, would this unlock work? I don't see StraightTalk listed anywhere in the Carriers list.
who cares about the unlock..use it with T-mobile? t-mobile eventually s going out of business ..
We want the Jailbreak 5.1..
If you can afford to travel overseas you can afford to buy an iPhone 4S unlocked thru Apple ..
I own my Iphone4S 32 gig att just unlocked it for me...but its on 5.1 unlock don't mean shit to me I could use jailbreak then this unlock...I am so pissed my iPhones4s was on 5.01 untethered jailbroken like a dumb ass att made me update it to get the unlock code thru iTunes ..
They said thats the only way you receive the unlock ..cuz they release the unlock code to apple then apple sends it thru iTunes..
Yea its unlocked but who cares aim still using it with at&t..
Do you get my point?
So guys jailbreak is the best method then unlock
Pleaaaaaaazzze POD2 hurry up release the untethered jailbreak 5.1 ..I am sending you $50 my way to thank yu for you hard work
The point I was trying to make was ,a Jailbreak is more necessarily then Unlock.
I used to have T-mobile I disagree with you cuz T-mobile hasn't better coverage than TM,as matter of fact its the opposite for me in my basement is a dead zone.
Anyways you guys didn't get my point...In America we only have 1 carrier that doesn't have an iPhone is T-mobile..so the unlock is useless for me...Id rather have a jailbreak over an unlock ..thats all
