You Can Now Jailbreak iOS 16.4.1 with Palera1n 2.0.0 Beta 6
Codenamed Bakepale, the latest v2.0.0 beta 6 update to jailbreak tool Palera1n has just been released, which fully supports iOS 16.4 - iOS 16.4.1 jailbreak.
iPhone Ultrasn0w Unlocking Tool Now Available For iPhone 4/3GS/3G
Ultrasn0w has been updated and it now provides unlocking to iPhone 4, 3GS, and 3G owners. Version 1.0-1 will allow users to quickly unlock their iPhone for use on multiple cellular carriers.
The updated ultrasn0w includes support for iPhone 4 baseband 01.59 and iPhone 3G/3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.04.
With the launch of the iPhone 4, many countries received unlocked iPhone 4 and 3GS units when purchased at full price directly from Apple. Unfortunately, these factory unlocked iPhones typically cost in the $500+ range.
The alternative, getting the iPhone on contract, locks the iPhone to one carrier but comes at a low price, usually less than $300. With Ultrasn0w, users can now unlock their once previously locked device.
To unlock your iPhone, the device must first be jailbroken. That can be done by visiting jailbreakme.com on mobile Safari. After the jailbreak, search Cydia for “ultrasn0w” and install the app.
If it doesn’t show up, manually add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to the Cydia > Manage > Sources area.

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss thank u thank u
I heard from an Apple care employee that unlocked units become locked to a carrier once you activate it to that sim card. I told him he was an idiot and to get his facts straight. He was also from Michigan. Can anyone confirm or deny?
You are right.
Mike
hey does anyone know if the square one apple store in mississauga still has any 32 gb iphone 4's left in stock?
or if not there, any rogers store in missisauga that has any iphone 4's in stock
If your iPhone is unlocked and the imei of this iPhone is never entered in your provider database, it will say unlocked…
I think what they mean is that all the phones are unlocked at the Apple store, until they put the IEMI in or whatever and it locks the phone at that point.
So is this a permanent change? Once it's done, is the phone unlocked for good?
Ahoy! I've been visiting this website since I first started hearing rumors about the release of the iPhone 4 and I'm happy to say that this has been the most resourceful iPhone website that I have ever visited. I just have a few questions about what the term “factory unlocked” means. Is it the same as a jailbreak-unlock where you can use any simcard that you want? EG: The sim card on my current phone. If I buy the factory unlocked iPhone and start a new contract with provider X, will I be OBLIGED to adapt to the iPhone plan or can I use any plan that they offer? Once I stick to provider X, will my phone be permanently locked to it? Thanks in advance!
So I answered my own question. It's only unlocked as long as ultrasn0w is installed. That would work, however I'm curious if there is any way to permanently unlock the phone.
Factory Unlocked means you buy the phone, and for the duration of it's life, it's unlocked and can be used on any carrier. If you sign a contact with a provider ( which you'd be crazy to do ) you would still be responsible for the complete contract, but at any point you could put another SIM card in it, and it would work, on any provider.
IE. you buy the phone unlocked. go to Rogers, set it up and use it… after a year there, you decided to switch to Telus… you pop out the Rogers SIM, put in the Telus one, and you keep going.
Ultrasn0w, from my limited research, is just a temporary unlock, and you need to have ultrasn0w running un order to use the phone on another carrier.
If you pay to get an unlocked phone, yes…
Seems they can undo the locking they did when they bought it no? I wonder if I bitch at Rogers enough if they'd unlock it. They already have me for 3 years!
Rogers will not unlock your iPhone for any reason…
This may change in the future with new laws…
Yeah I'm sorta banking on us following France's lead on that. The ultrasn0w should work for trips to US for now.
Buying it from Apple at full price.
Once locked, it's permanent.
While it's permanent because Rogers says so, it's not something that can't be un-done, assuming they let you do it.
There are a few cell phone shops in Toronto that advertise unlocking 3G and 3GS phones permanently. It's just a matter of getting the right information from my knowledge.
I used to buy phones from my friend in Chicago who ran a cell shop, and he'd unlock them and send them up.
The lock or unlocked status of an iPhone is controlled by apple's servers when you activate your iPhone with iPhone…
It's not something you an permanently set unless you do not upgrade your firmware and you jailbreak your iPhone…
off subject but does anyone know or have information yet about whether or not an unlocked iP4 will work on the new sktel network?
so, if they enter the imei into my provider's database, it is then locked?
Yes… This is the way it works
They are all sold out. Have been for days.
F****!!!
So I paid full price for a locked phone now?!? W.T.F!
No. If you buy your phone Factory Unlocked from Apple, your phone is unlocked forever, and any replacement phones you receive from Apple will also be unlocked.
hi ex,
question : i bought my iphone 4 on Friday & when i check my usage on settings it says 9 DAYS & 22 HOURS, its a unlocked 16GB from apple store . hows that possible ?
thanks
No.
Once its unlocked, the carrier cannot do anything to lock it.
Did you plug it into iTunes and restore from your previous back up?
Yes. That is what I mean. When you buy it from, let's say Rogers at full
price, the device is locked unless you modify it via jailbreaking.
If you buy it unlocked, it is unlocked forever.
Ex,
This is totally unrelated but I figured you might know. Do you know how often Bell dealerships receive iPhone shipments and if they typically arrive on the same day?
Thank you in advance.
About every 3 weeks
yes , i restored from 3GS back up
If apple entered the iPhone imei in the cell phone provider, it will lock the phone to this provider… This is the way it works because all phones are factory unlocked until activated the first time… If you pay the contract price, apple will lock the phone.
If you bought it from apple, it should be unlocked forever unless apple did something wrong when they sold you the phone…
If you bought it from your provider, it will be locked if you paid full price or contract price.
When you backup, everything comes over from the 3GS, even the life time
calls and etc.
in other words, that is normal.
🙂
Does the Unlock and Jailbreak only work if you are on IOS 4?
I want to jailbreak/unlock my 3G…but i dont want to upgrade it to IO4.. it soo slow!
hey guys, sorry if this is off topic, but do u kno if all the iphones in canada are currently sold out? if so, when will the next batch become available again? thanks!!
So basically everyone is sold out. and there are varying reports on when new stock will come in. I have heard as early as friday for some stores, but as EX said shipment in bulk usually happens every two to three weeks. that does leave out the small shipments. so who knows. The issue i am having is that providers aren't even letting people get on lists or pre order. its kind of frustrating as most people I know can't sit in front of stores camping for days at a time. Until LG and Samsung can increase screen production i cant see it getting better then the 3 week delivery times.
That sucks to hear if you did actually pay full price for a locked phone, but if you did let that be a lesson learned, always do your research before making big purchases. It has been know for a LONG time that if you pay full price or not at ANY carrier store it will absolutely be locked to that specific carrier. Only Apple sells unlocked iPhone 4's.
Still iffy about the new jailbreak. Wouldn't it be better to wait for the dev team?
Dude it you paid full price from Apple, it won't be locked. Try putting in another micro sim from another carriers. I don't know what people are saying to you!
Thanks a lot Randal! Exactly the answer I was looking for 🙂
my bad…. I wrote my response, then read the others… if I could delete my post I would.
That's what I'm doing.
Pardon me for my ignorance on this….I understand that I can buy an unlocked phone from the Apple Store. What I am unclear on is your statement “If you sign a contact with a provider ( which you'd be crazy to do ) you would still be responsible for the complete contract…”. I currently have a voice only plan with Rogers. If I want to add data to the plan, do I not need to sign a multi-year contract? Or can I just pay $30 on a month-to-month basis to receive 6GB's of data? Then perhaps six months from now, Telus begins to offer unlimited GB's for $40/month (LOL!), I can just purchase a Telus sim and then pay on a month-by-month basis with them?
For 6GB, you need a contract cause it's a promo. But you can do $30 1GB on no contract
Has anyone been able to get the SBSettings Ultrasn0w toggle to work with this version of Ultrasn0w? I haven't been able to, and I'm on an iPhone 4, iOS 4.0.1.
thanks Ex
In Regards to the Jailbreak – Doesn't matter which device you're on – as long as it's 4.0 or 4.1
https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/unlocking/jailbrea…
Sorry pls clearify for me: so this unlock software/app can be temporary if Apple comes out with a patch to prevent it ? So the ONLY way to have a permanent unlocked iPhone4 is to buy it from Apple Store ? Thanks.
Correct
