Hey guys, here are instructions on how to unlock the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G for use with any GSM cellphone carrier using UltraSn0w. This will work with the iOS 4.2.1 firmware if you are on the 06.15.00 baseband.

Before you can follow these instructions you must have a jailbroken iPhone and you must be on the 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04, 06.15.00, or 01.59 baseband (modem firmware).

To find your firmware and modem firmware (baseband) versions you can go to SETTINGS>>>GENERAL>>>ABOUT and look at the Modem Firmware Field. Read more…

As promised the iPhone Dev-Team has released the iOS 4.2.1 unlock for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.

Please read this announcement very carefully and understand the consequences you might face if something goes wrong…

Today we’re pleased to announce our free carrier unlock for iPhone3G/3GS owners with a baseband later than 05.13.04. The unlock for that baseband exploited the AT+XAPP command, thanks to a crash initially discovered by @sherif_hashim (@Oranav also found this crash). So what hole are we exploiting today, since Apple closed that AT+XAPP hole? Well, we’re exploiting the exact same hole! Read more…

A lot of things happened while I was out of the state celebrating Thanksgiving with my family. One of the very important updates / news is for all UNLOCKERS out there.

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.

As it was announced, a new Jailbreak Tool “GreenPois0n” will be released this Sunday 10/10/2010 at 10:10:10 (This day is also known as “funday” in the jailbreak comunity). This Jailbreak Tool / GreenPois0n will be released by the Chronic Dev Team not the iPhone Dev Team but many devs from Chronic and iPhone Dev Team are working together on this Jailbreak.

In the last days or even weeks people had a lot of questions regarding the exploit called SHAtter, a tool for jailbreaking GreenPois0n which will be Untethered and will also Hacktivate your iPhone or iPad.

Let me be clear and let you know what really is going on and I will also talk about the return of the famous iPhone hacker “GeoHot” / George Hotz to the jailbreak scene. Why is he back? Why did he use another exploit (waste of an exploit) Read more…

This is just a quick update for all your UNLOCKERS out there… The iPhone Dev-Team has released an update to the UltraSn0w iPhone Unlock version 1.1-1 which should improve standby battery life.

As we all know the new JailbreakMe userland browser based jailbreak doesn’t hacktivate phones so if a user with an unofficial SIM restores / upgrades to the latest 4.0 or 4.0.1 firmware (or any firmware for that matter) then the iPhone will be locked with an “Activation Lock” / Emergency Calls Only Screen.

iPhone Hacker Sherif Hashim found a new way to activate phones without having the original SIM cards but as usual and as expected, Apple found out about the phonebook SIM card trick and blocked this loophole.

If you have activated your iPhone using Phonebook SIM card method, you will probably see this error message “Different SIM Detected” on the lockscreen of your iPhone as you see it in the screenshot below. Don’t worry though, you can fix this issue by following our detail steps listed below. Read more…
