iPhone 4 Baseband 4.11.08 Unlock Update Posted By Sherif Hashim

iPhone 4 owners who rely on a software unlock via Dev Team’s ultrasn0w must know that 1.59.00 is currently the only unlockable baseband on iPhone 4. But now, baseband hacker @sherif_hashim has pushed an update (via Twitter) about his ongoing work on iPhone 4?s locked baseband firmwares which also include the baseband 4.11.08. He also mentioned about his previous exploit which didn’t work out because of some technical issues.

Here is what he had to say:

“It would be greatly appreciated NOT to post regarding iOS related issues/unlock/…etc , and for those whom are still concerned YES i am still working on the VERY TIGHT bbfw 2.10-4.11 (i m taking that personal) after my -October 2010 found- vulnerabilities failed to achieve a payload injection vector despite the huge continuos trials and work done by the legendary @MuscleNerd, the great everlasting iOS hacker and guru, keeping in mind that there was a 10 months of halt due to the Egyptian revolution 🙂 , what i meant to say is that any new achievements -IF EVER POSSIBLE- regarding this issue will be notified either by this respectable iOS hacker or by the humble myself, NO NEED to ask because it won’t make it achievable/earlier/easier. Thanks a lot for taking time to read this.”

sherif_hashim

This is great news especially for those who are stuck with baseband 4.11.08 on their iPhone 4 because unlike other basebands such as 2.10.00, 3.10.1 and 4.10.1, there is no way to unlock it right now even with the Gevey SIM.

Be VERY careful.  I was on 4.10.01 with IOS 4.3.3 and unlocked it with a Gevey Ultra that I purchased from Applenberry and it worked great with T-Mobile.  I then attempted to update the IOS to 5.0.1 and thought I did all the correct steps to preserve my baseband, but it changed my baseband to 4.11.08.  Now I am stuck with a locked iPhone.

I have iphone 4 running on iOS 5.0.1 with a BB 4.10 and I have unlocked it using a regular Gevey Sim . And I am now posting this Re using my iphone 4 on iOS 5 under T-mobile network . The only firmware that can be unlocked is 3.10 and 4.10 and under . And the only BB that can’t be unlock till now is the 4.11.08
The only problem I have with my iphone 4 is I can’t get isms and FaceTime working on Tmobile network is there any fix for that .

Same deal here, 4.3.5 with 4.10.01 using a Gevey SIM.

Trying to get it onto iOS 5.0.1 while preserving BB but using a Mac to do it, I’m getting stuck at Error 1601. Phone is fine though, hasnt updated BB, still works using Gevey on 4.3.5 BB 4.10.01.

Either my DFU isn’t right, or the host files are pointed in the wrong direction…any advice?

if you didnt what you need to do is to download tinyumbrealla then run the server while you update the phone with itunes

Download official firmware ios 5.0.1 for ur idevice..

Create a custom firmware w/o BB Update using pwnage or redsnow for mac snowbreeze for pc

Remove cydia host server because apple is still signing blobs

On ur mac make sure u hit alt + restore & point it to ur custom ipsw made with pwnage or redsnow

Windows hit shift restore then point it to ur custom ipsw

*** make sure u remove cydia server on ur host file.. else it will error 16xx ***

hope that helps!

Is your phone locked with at&t? Is your 2 yr contract finished? If so, call customer service & you can factory unlock for free. This started last april 8, 2012. If you’re still in your contract, then NO. Unfortunately, still no unlock for it.

I am sorry to inform everyone about the truth behind the unlock: there will not be one until the A6 idevices are close to being released! Even if they had the unlock for either the 4s or the 4 they would not release it now. Releasing the unlock would raise prices for the 4s and 4 models thus giving the A6 idevices an even higher price to sell for; thus they would wait. It also gives Apple  a reason to continue selling their factory unlocked models. Releasing any kind of unlock now would cripple sales for Apple. All of the blogs from our “jailbreakers” and “unlockers” clearly states that there will “eventually” be an unlock, and never soon. I am very sorry if this is news to anyone. 

PS. If you honestly think there is no connection between the timing of the MuscleNerd’s unlock and Apple releasing products, you need to wake up and say hello to reality.

None sense. Apple should drop the factory unlocked phones if the hackers ever release the unlocking tool. Think about this. You wake up one day and learn that all iPhone 4 and 4s are now unlocksble… yes, for free. Low in demand and high in supplies. No everyone needs unlocked phones.

Why should Apple do that? One update from Apple and the software changes. Boom, back to being locked.

Yes and have done so on many iPhone 3GS devices. However I find it’s more work than it’s worth when it comes to thr latest iOS version, warranties, etc.

Agreed. I have a factory unlocked 4s, but on AT&T network, so I can be on a 3G for the data. Personally I think all iPhones should be factory unlocked. I mean why bother with locking a phone to a specific carrier, when you and I are agreed on a two years contract. I should be able to take that phone to another carrier after my contract is up should I chose to do so. I know people who upgrade their phone to the latest for a subsidized price and sell it on EBay.

In some countries like here in iraq the only way to use an iphone is unlocking we dont have any factory sims to contract with you have to understand this dont think about where you live only, no one uses credit cards here so purchasing an app is also not possible for us so jailbreaking is the soluion. Just think further than your area.

Actually with at&t, you can do it now. Just call customer service & give your IMEI. As long as your 2 yr contract is done, they will factory unlock your iphone for free. I’m glad i called them. Now using my iphone
4 again! Google it & you’ll see. Better yet, call at&t and unlock your iphone!

That and if a phone is unlocked or jaibroken it voids the warranty on the phone. So may people out there will still buy the unlocked version. An on a similar but not totally related note  the cell providers would not go broke from unlocking. If you sign a contract for discounted equipment then break it you pay the rest of the phone thats what ETFs are for. To prevent people from basically stealing most of a phone.

It doesn’t necessarily void the warranty mate.  Just restore the phone to factory settings before taking it to apple care and you are set.

Hello reality….I really dont think apple would go “cripple”…..they got new iphones for sale every year……and the old ones that ppl buy to get a unlock, yea well those were purchased from apple too, and they were probably purchased at full price…so they still made their money…so GO TO SLEEP…..U THINK TOO MUCH….UR DUMB.

Are you trying to say that musclenerd works for apple? to keep prices low? How fucking stupid do you sound? Apple always release’s new devices at the same price. The iphone 4S has already been unlocked. The people that jailbreak and unlock have lives outside of this, jobs, families, and whatever else. And only get paid by donations. Your stupid, stop being ignorant and thinking you know everything.

People if you’re with at&t & your 2 year contract is done, you can factory unlock it fir free with at&t! Simply call them & give your IMEI & they will email you when to restore with itunes. I’ve done it with my iphone 4 ios5.0.1 BB 4.11.08. Now running 5.1 BB 4.12.01 FACTORY UNLOCKED. Obviously, it’s not for everyone. But if you are eligible, your wait is over!
