There's so much great info on jailbreaking iPhone on NGU and I was wondering if there's any information on how I can unlock my iphone 4.

Thanks in advance!

Any ideas on a release date for 4.3? if the info came out a few weeks ago should be soon?


When the verizon iphone is released I think the 10th of february Smile

So cool so cool! Thanks for the info!

So I'm a touch confused, once 4.3 is released we'll be able to unlock 4.2.1 or will the unlock be for 4.3? I'm just trying to confirm because I''ll be purchasing a new iphone 4 around that time.

It'd be great to get a complete jailbreak AND unlock tutorial for 4.3 when it's released.

So the following is a description from some ebay seller who's selling an unlocked and jailbroken iphone 4:

Hi, this is an auction for an UNLOCKED 32GB 4G iPhone. This iPhone has been jail-broken and unlocked. IT IS READY TO USE ON ANY GSM NETWORK WORLDWIDE. As long as you have the micro sim you are ready to go. The phone is on version 4.0.1 and has 01.59.00 firmware. This phone is RARE! There are a few scratches found on this phone. I noticed a small hair line crack at the bottom of the screen next to the home button. It is very small and hard to see. This phone will only include a charger.

Looks like he's on version 4.0.1 and has 01.59.00 firmware. If I buy a new phone or a phone on ebay and it is on a version above 4.0.1, is it possible to downgrade it so that i can jailbreak AND unlock the phone?

Hmm you never know, I only know that the unlock will be released for the 4.2.1 basebands for Iphone 4. Unfortunatly for you, iOS 4.3 will include ASLR wich will make it harder for jailbreakers and unlockers. But they might find an exploit, you never know.

ASLR is Address Space Layout Randomization also known on the web as the antid0te Smile

Great. Looks like I will have to look for an iphone 4 on ebay that's on 4.2.1.

Once I have a phone in my hands, will it need to be 'activated' by AT&T in order for me to jailbreak and unlock it?

I'm not verry good with SHSH blobs since I my self never have used them, but I think thats impossible since the jailbreak team just could send out the SHSH blobs, I think they need to have been saved on the phone that you wish to downgrade

Look for an 4.1 and lower first, because they can already be unlocked.

Yepp you need to activate it, wich kinda sucks.

Good idea.

I'm seeing a number of iponhe 4s on ebay that are still on 4.1! when you say it needs to be activated do you mean i just pop my sim from my razr into the iphone or would i actually need to call AT&T to activate it?

So if I purchase an iPhone 4 running 4.1 it is able to be unlocked and jailbroken? Can you recommend a good tutorial for jailbreaking and unlocking iphone 4 on 4.1 or lower?

Thanks in advance for all the help, I'm still using a flip phone with no data plan lol!

When you say 'activate it' do you mean I can simply stick my AT&T SIM into it and unlock/jailbreak and when I'm done just pull my card out? (I'm on AT&T but I still use a flip phone and don't even have a data plan lol)

or would I actually need to call AT&T and activate it as my phone first, THEN do the jailbreak/unlock?


4.1 Greenp0ison or limera1in
4.0.1 You must login or register to view this content.

You need the AT&T card to activate the phone while booting the first time on itunes, but if you buy the already used iphone there's no need for that Smile

Aren't Greenp0ison and limera1in just for jailbreaking?

How would one go about unlocking their iphone 4 after jailbreaking it?
