The developer behind SAM Method has pushed yet another update to SAM application after the discovery of its ability to unlock iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S on any carrier. Earlier, you might be using your original Sim or the iTunes for the unlock process to complete. But now, you could perform the unlock independently. The SAM application can be downloaded from Cydia under http://http://repo.bingner.com repository.
Once the repo is added, search for SAM and install it on your iPhone. Navigate to SAMPrefs and make sure that the Method is set to Auto Detect. In Utilities, tap on Attempt activation until a pop up appears and tells you – “Please wait…. This may take a while”. If, by chance, Attempt activation doesn’t appear, just “Deactivate iPhone” from the utilities itself and then follow the previous step. The iPhone might try to respire while searching for the network. Don’t worry! This is normal. Your carrier would be detected instantly. [click to continue…]

While DevTeam is still working on an update to ultrasn0w for the software unlock, Loktar_Sun after tinkering with the SAM method which is originally used to activate iPhone on any carrier or push notification from iTunes now unlocks a JailBroken iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S. The SAM method was developed by Sam Bingner (@sbingner) for a separate purpose, but it turned out to be one of the simplest method to convert a temporary software unlock into true one.
MuscleNerd has confirmed SAM unlock method to be working on his iPhone 4S. He was being able to run T-mobile without issues. However, you need to have the particular carrier sim inside for the unlock process to proceed specifically for that sim. As per Sam Bingner, the unlock could also work for people who are on iOS 5.1 with tethered JailBreak. Until iPhone hackers releases iOS 5.1 untethered JailBreak for all devices, you can give it a shot.

If you are one of those people who bought their iPhone from US on contract and fulfill the criteria for an official unlock from AT&T, then you can avail the unlock for free. We have confirmation from two people, one of them is an iPhone baseband hacker called Sherif Hashim who recently got his iPhone 4 unlocked after the confirmation email from AT&T. Also, some of the other folks who had preserved their baseband on iOS 5.0.1 and relying on a sim interposer tool have now updated to the latest firmware, iOS 5.1.
The method is really simple. Only two things are required -
1) IMEI number of your iPhone which can be found in settings>General>About
2) Â You are a holder of a good AT&T account and satisfies terms and conditions of AT&T.
Now, you need to visit AT&T’s chat support page. Here, you would enter your credentials – username and password for logging into your account. Once logged in, click on chat now which is an option beside Technical Support. Fill all the information required and enter “I want to unlock my iPhone” in “How may we assist you?” field. At the end, click on chat for the completion. [click to continue…]

If you are one those people who have accidentally updated their iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S on iOS 5.1, we now have a solution for you. Folks from our team have come up with a way to unlock your iPhone 4S/iPhone 4. Interestingly, you don’t need to have a Ultra Gevey or any sim interposer tool for the unlock process to proceed. We have worked really hard to explore the vulnerabilities on iPhone 4S and found out that it works on iPhone 4 as well. Special Thanks to the member of DevTeam, MuscleNerd who worked with us to make it fully functional.
 
This is the simplest unlock ever. After months of work, we have implemented this exploit completely. Although we unlocked our iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S on iOS 5.1 a while ago, but things were pretty much messed up for us. At first, the Wifi was temporary disabled and we faced problems in the signal reception. Due to which we had to reach to popular hackers like @pod2g, @MuscleNerd and @P0sixninja to sort out those issues. Fortunately, we have tested the method by ourselves and can assure you that no glitches exists whatsoever. [click to continue…]

Whenever the next generation iPad is announced from Apple, speculations on the features of next iPhone starts. After the introduction of 4G LTE on iPad 3, it is pretty much expected that iPhone 5 would also include the same facility. Recently, an Indian Hacker, Krishna Sagar found reference of 4G LTE on iPhone 4 running on an iOS 5.1. Moreover, similar references were present for the FaceTime on 4G network as well.
Currently, neither iPhone 4 nor iPhone 4S or any of the iOS device supports FaceTime on 3G/4G LTE. The exact reason for this problem is still unknown. But we suppose that Apple didn’t want to degrade user experience of their users on 3G network. Hence, the support was discontinued. Now, 4G/LTE has brought a tremendous change and people can transfer data even at more faster speeds. So the probability for the support increases. [click to continue…]

Well, when we have the tethered Jailbreak for iPhone 3GS & iPhone 4, the support for the ultrasn0w on iOS 5.1 is still awaited. Not anymore because we now have an alternative for it until DevTeam come up with an update in few days. Needless to say, if you can’t wait to update your device on iOS 5.1 with preserved BaseBand, you can use this method for the ultrasn0w unlock. However, this doesn’t support the upgraded BaseBands.
The ultasn0w fixer 5.1 only supports the BaseBands given below -
1)Â 01.59.00
2)04.26.08
3)05.11.07
4) 05.13.01
5)05.12.01
6) 06.15.00 [click to continue…]

Even after several firmware releases, it has always been possible to implement Geohot’s limera1n exploit which is associated with the hardware on non-A5 devices. Just in time when Redsn0w is updated, Sn0wbreeze now does a tethered JailBreak for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3 and iPad on iOS 5.1. This tool is entirely dedicated to work on Windows. So if you need an alternative of Redsn0w, this should be the right choice. [click to continue…]

In a special event yesterday, Apple released iOS 5.1 for download all over the world. Until now, there was no JailBreak available for non-A5 devices if you update either using OTA or iTunes. Fortunately, Geohot’s limera1n exploit has worked again that lets you tethered JailBreak iPhone 4, iPad 1 and iPhone 3GS (old or new bootrom) on the latest firmware, iOS 5.1.
Just update your non-A5 device manually using iTunes if you had a JailBroken device earlier. Otherwise, you might face error while trying to update using the OTA. All those users who rely on ultrasn0w to unlock and preserving their baseband from quite sometime should use the custom firmware to restore. However, ultrasn0w is not updated for iOS 5.1 yet and you need to wait for few more days for the support. Tethered JailBreak signifies that you would require to ‘boot tethered’ from the redsn0w every time the device reboots. [click to continue…]

I have always been very intrigued by smartphone sales numbers. They can be misleading. A $100 Android and a $299 Android can be very different in terms of customer profile and apps / internet usage. So while we may ignore sales numbers of Android devices and look at the apps ecosystem of iOS in smartphone wars, here is an interesting piece of stat from Statcounter. But before we begin, hey, this is based on stats by Statcounter, which wouldn’t be 100% accurate, but it still gives a very good idea of where the market is headed.
In US, Android commands over 36% mobile browser marketshare. The figure has surged significantly over the last one year. iPhone follows at 29%. Blackberry at around 13% and iPod touch backs up at 10.5%. Now if we of course compare iOS vs Android, Apple still leads, but in the smartphone space, it is clear that Android has taken a decent lead. We should not expect this to change, Android has more numbers. Period. [click to continue…]

This is not the first time since CutYourSim has come into play to factory unlock iPhone on carrier network such as AT&T. History to be told, CutYourSim had unlocked many devices in the past which confirms about their credibility. Unfortunately, due to some unknown reason, the site issued a statement that they wouldn’t be able to unlock any of the iPhone’s in near future. Today, they returned back from the dead to unlock iPhone who are locked on  AT&T networks. [click to continue…]
