Apple will be releasing iOS 4.2 sometime next month and with every new firmware update we all tend to ask the same question. When will the unlock be out?

MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev Team is by far the only public most vocal iPhone Dev on Tweeter nowadays. Since he is the only dev who replies back to people on tweeter some of his followers asked him about the Ultrasn0w Unlock for the iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2 / basebands (Modem Firmware) 05.14.02, I was surprised by the answer just like many of you are.

In a reply to one of his many followers on Twitter, MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team has confirmed that ultrasn0w unlock for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G on iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2, with 05.14.02 baseband will be released in a day or two at most, once iOS 4.2 is released to public.

simplysaru: @MuscleNerd thanks.. how long would the wait be for 4.2 any approximate time

MuscleNerd: @simplysaru if you’re on 3G or 3GS, just a day or 2 at most after 4.2 is public (just enough time to verify stuff)

Since the baseband OS on iPhone 4 is different than its predecessors, it will probably take a little more time for the devs to figure out unlock for iPhone 4 on 2.10.04 baseband, on iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2.

Apple is expected to release iOS 4.2 sometime in November this year.

Stay tuned ! We will let you know as soon as iOS 4.2 is available to public, followed by the Ultrasn0w unlock for iPhone 3GS and 3G, running iOS 4.2 / 4.1.
