MuscleNerd, member of the iPhone Dev team has just announced that they will release Ultrasn0w for iOS 5 after an update for MobileSubstrate is released tomorrow.
Dev team has already released Redsn0w for iOS 5 for Mac, which includes the PwnageTool functionality and iH8sn0w had released Snowbreeze for Windows that allows users to preserve iPhone’s baseband while upgrading to iOS 5.
There has been some confusion whether you will be be able to use a local GSM micro-SIM in the CDMA iPhone 4S (which also comes with the micro-SIM card slot since it is a world phone) while travelling internationally, so that you can pay cheap local rates instead of the expensive international roaming rates.
Apple will be finally releasing their most eagerly awaited next generation mobile operating system – iOS 5 on October 12th, which includes more than 200 new features such as iMessage, revamped notification system, PC Free, Wi-Fi Sync etc.
We take a look at the current state of jailbreaking to see if you should jailbreak your iOS device when iOS 5 is released.
Apple’s new iPhone 4S was finally available for pre-order in the US, Cananda, UK, France, Germany, Japan and Australia earlier today.
Ever since the Let’s Talk iPhone event, when Apple unveiled their hotly anticipated fifth generation iPhone, readers have asked us about network switching, roaming, availability and pricing of the unlocked iPhone 4S etc.. So if you’re one of them, we hope this post answers some of your questions.
Back in March, we reported that it was possible to unlock iPhone 4 basebands 04.10.01 (bundled with iOS 4.3, iOS 4.3.1, iOS 4.3.2, iOS 4.3.3), 03.10.01 (bundled with iOS 4.2.1), 02.10.04 (bundled with iOS 4.1) using Gevey SIM card.
Gevey SIM Interproser doesn’t need users to jailbreak their iPhone as it works by forcing the activation of the baseband using the emergency dialer.
Seth Weintraub of 9 to 5 Mac reports that a T-Mobile USA spokesperson has revealed that the carrier currently has over one million iPhone users on its network.
AT&T and Verizon are the official iPhone carriers in the U.S. and Apple started selling factory unlocked iPhone 4s in the U.S. only a week back, which means that a majority of them are unlocked using Ultrasn0w – software method to unlock iPhone.
According to ChronicWire, Apple will finally start selling factory unlocked iPhones in the U.S. from Wednesday.
Ever since Apple launched GSM iPhone in the U.S., it has been locked to AT&T and the CDMA iPhone, which was launched earlier in the year is also locked to Verizon as they offer them at subsidized prices to customers willing to sign a two-year contract. Apple currently offers factory unlocked/SIM free iPhones in some select countries such as UK, Canada, Hong Kong etc.
iPhone Dev team has just released PwnageTool 4.3.2 for iOS 4.3.2 that incorporates the untether jailbreak developed by iPhone hacking expert Stefan Esser.
PwnageTool 4.3.2 will allow iPhone users to safely restore to a pre-jailbroken iOS 4.3.2 firmware and retain their current baseband so that they can use Ultrasn0w to unlock their GSM iPhone, which is only useful for users with older baseband.
Last week, we reported about websites like CutYourSim offering remote iPhone unlocking solutions without the need to jailbreak the iPhone for a one-time fee of approximately $170.
Cult Of Mac has just reported that CutYourSim has discontinued the service and is offering refunds to customers whose iPhones could not be unlocked.
While the iPhone Dev team are busy trying to figure out a way to software unlock the latest iPhone basebands, we’re seeing a number of websites that are offering services to permanently unlock iPhone so that it can be used on any carrier network without the need to jailbreak their iPhone and Gevey SIM hack that can unlock iPhone 4.
