Final Iphone 4 Unlock Notice – Releasing after 4.3

SPONSORED LINKS

MuscleNerd from Iphone Dev team finally opens up about the Iphone 4 Unlock scene . Below is the tweet made few minutes ago from his twitter channel @MuscleNerd .

What we can say from this tweet is that an unlock is in the making [or probably ready for release] and it will be coming out soon . Final warning being made there for itchy fingers from further upgrading the iOS beyond 4.2.5 or iOS 4.3 whichever comes next. No mention of baseband is there . Read the post about possible iOS 4.3 Public Release .

In my last post I asked user to stay away from iOS 4.3 firmware as it will also update the baseband to 04.08.00 [Read the post here]. So if you are looking to upgrade your iOS and get the new HotSpot Feature , just hold it for the moment .

From Sherif Hashim :

For those who are waiting for the unlock on 15th January 2011 , Sherif Hashim has this to say [click on the image below to enlarge ]:

Update :

Latest updates from Iphone Wiki moderator @Veeence suggest that Iphone Dev Team is trying their hands on downgrading the baseband to unlock the latest version of Iphone 4 . Where as iPhone 3G is now considered unlocked for life as Apple stopped its support from iOS 4.3 onwards , so no further baseband upgrade for the 3-year-old model of iphone.

Next tweet comes from @MuscleNerd who said that the team is working to downgrade the baseband to an unlockable one , as the current locked baseband 02.10.04 – 03.10.01  – 04.08.00 [with iOS 4.3 upgrade] seem un-hackable at the moment .

  1. Rushabh Jhaveri says:

    So by this tweet should we assume that the unlock for Iphone 4 os 4.1 baseband 02.10.04 is out or should be out ???

    Please reply and keep us updated.

  2. Noob.kicker says:

    So now we have to wait for 4.3 to come out before we can use our iphones. And God knows how long we have to wait.

  3. keegan south africa says:

    soo will it be ready 16 jan

  4. Rushabh Jhaveri says:

    This is very confusing
    the basic question is that is the unlock going to be released on 16th January or not ??
    cmon man
    one cant confuse us so f**king badly

  5. Iphone Blogger says:

    Sorry guys , but the unlock will be released only after the final major iOS 4 [before iphone 5 comes out later this year] release which brings WiFi HotSpot on iphone 4 .

    No unlock will be released before or after this [iOS 4.3] . So stay updated and stop whining

    • chriss says:

      That is wrong. 4.3 is not the latest release, 4.4 is already being worked on. ALL Basebands for the IP4 can not be unlocked and will never be unlocked, with the exception of 1.59, but that was not suppose to be in the IP4 and was pretty much immediately replaced with 2.10.

      Whatever you hear and believe or want to believe from cryptic twitter messages, forget it. 4.3 is standing for release on Jan.19 but will probably come out the week of Jan 24, it also got no relation to BB 2.10 and there is no reason what so ever to hold back an existing unlock for month except if there is no unlock.

      Millions of people do not care about 4.2 or indeed 4.3, all they want is to USE there phones, so why would anybody believe that the release of a newer version all over sudden brings the unlock for a nearly half year old Base Band?

      To add insult to injury, the tweet mentions 4.2.5, the iOS Version for Verizon, expected to be released around the 10th of February. There is no unlock for Verizon because it is not necessary, you can not use a Verizon phone with any other carrier.So why wait for the release of an OS that got nothing to do with the dilemma of millions worldwide who are stuck with 4.1 and 2.10? The mentioning of iOS 4.2.5 alone shows that this is just another lie, “the team” gets one more month and can think of the next excuse. iPhone 5 will be here in the summer, so best to face the facts and get one of those, factory unlocked, and play until then with expensive GPS enabled 5Mx Camera sporting iPods.

      • Sebastian says:

        I totally agree, even though I REALLY, REALLY wish you were wrong.

        If someone can say something against him, I’d be happy to hear it

      • HungrySage says:

        unbelievably well said. i have been waiting for a very long time for 02.10.01, 03.10.01 has been released for quite a while, and 04.x is now out in the market. you are going to wait for another release, SERIOUSLY, ANOTHER ONE? wtf is this bs? im now selling my iphone 4 to get a factory unlocked one cause i cant deal with not being able to use my phone for almost a half a year. UNF*CKIN BELIEVABLE!

  6. Tron says:

    I think Musclenerd have no idea how to hack this device.

  7. angle says:

    …..Dev Team is absolutely incapable …..sorry

  8. 3d says:

    @ angle

    if u think the dev team is incapable: hack it yourself…
    and now i sell my I4.

    • Fredy says:

      I gave my Iphone to my children. The kids used the iPhone as an iPod. I bought a Samsung i9000 Galaxy and I’m very excited! incidentally, the Samsung has always been a hotspot.

    • Sebastian says:

      @3d what you’re saying has absolutely no sense. Lets say there is a nuclear physicist that is not able to do his job properly and thus is “incapable”, I’m quite sure that doesn’t mean I have to do his job…

  9. James says:

    To All,

    Let’s not blame anyone for any iphone JB or Unlocking issues. The only one to blame is ourselves. There are lots of rumors being spread through the post and we all took it to heart and have hope that an unlock will be release. The biggest rumor was the unlock for 4.1 after the 4.2 was release, that was a mistake that we all took in account and we all got stuck. We only can blame ourselves.

    But much thanks to all the team for their hard work. One thing I don’t understand is that why would they keep coming out with new JB 2, 3 ways to JB an OS when the old one need the unlock. I guess they have a good reason for their ways of doing things.

    Regards,

    James

  10. Joscampi says:

    and…What’s happening with the baseband unlock?? 02.10 and 03.XXX ???? It’s supposed that will happen this weekend right?

    • chriss says:

      You mean the baseband unlock that´s happening “in two weeks” for the last 4 or 5 month?
      WAKE UP! There is no nor will there ever be, an unlock. Those days are over.

    • Sebastian says:

      If you mean that guy that said he’ll have an unlock by january 15th, dude grow up…

      In fact, if you read the posts in that article, I bet my Audi saying that was a lie. Guess who won?

  11. Srinu says:

    I have i4 with ios 4.1 and basband 2.10.4. I am looking to unlock it. should i still keep the same or I can upgrade to ios 4.2

  12. Raja says:

    No i blame Muscle Nerd and Dev Team, i appreciate their efforts so far, but this unlock they claim was supposed to arrive immediately the 4.2 OS arrived. If they werent capable of suppplying the unlock then , then they should have said so instead of keeping us in suspense all this while. Who know now when this lock will be available. I wouldnt have bought my Iphone for 400 euros if i knew it would take this long .

  13. Noob.kicker says:

    Srinu its better to sell your iPhone now rather then waiting for 6 to 7 more months to use it. At that time iPhone 5 will be in market. I don’t know about you but i am selling mine for sure and i am ready to lose money on it. Perhaps this seems the right choice at this stage when unlock is possible for at least 6 more months

  14. Memo says:

    Read back. Said it a longtime ago ….no unlock this time guys. So better get rid of those expensive iPods. What the problem now? Android is waiting for you to enjoy. Was waiting and following up on unlock as well. Meanwhile decided to treat myself to android …htc Oh what a pleasure. Pity can’t enjoy apple but hey with an alternative who cares

  15. Sam says:

    My iPhone 4 has ios 4.1 baseband 2.10.4 should I uprade to ios4.2 now?

  16. Nobu says:

    Apple’s glory days were good while it lasted. Time to move on to better things. I applaud Apple for pioneering a lot of things, the iPhone, and then the tablet iPad. They have always been at the forefront of technology even before then with the simple iPod, the easy to use iTunes, the App Store that every phone system is now trying to copy as well. They will again create revolutionary products in the future, I know. But for now, I’d say thanks Apple for pushing the competitors to make something better out of what you’ve started. Competition and alternative choices are always good for the consumers.
    Hello Android and hello Motorola Atrix! Can’t wait to get my hands on you!

  17. ree says:

    HE IS RIGHT,SELLING MINES TO,THEY CANT UNLOCK IT

  18. ifan says:

    i sell my iphone4 now ..100% ..sorry maybe dev team cool guys but i wont wait anymore sorry again if i not right….

  19. rahul.. says:

    dis site says tht…ios 4.3 is releasing on 19th tht is on wednesday…so is d unlock for 4.1 bb 02.10.04 releasin on 20th or after tht…plz sum 1 reply…m dieyin 4 d unlock…

  20. noob.kicker says:

    unlock for 4.1 is not coming out before the arrival of final
    IOS4 with iPhone 5. Which wont be before the mid of this year. Just to let you know i sold mine for a profit of 130 USD. Seems like there are people out there who just don’t follow up with the current news.

  21. James says:

    The things about this whole mess is all the updated and RUMORS that are NOT TRUE. Just like that last RUMORS or so call from the TEAM which ever it was that the unlock for 4.1 will be out as soon as OS 4.2 was release. Now another so call RUMORS that the unlock will be release AGAIN after OS 4.3.

    News are one thing RUMORS are another that’s something that needs to be address. If it’s not real news don’t post anything. This will cause misunderstanding. AGAIN don’t blame anyone but yourself for believing.

    TWEETS are all BS, people write cr*ps about what they THINK or think they knows.

    Regards

  22. Fyodor says:

    I have started working on the unlock myself since the lies in December. I have been following all info for months and I just couldn’t stand the mystifications, lies, and incompetence displayed by the Dev Team, Sharif and other figures.
    I have found underground sources, which seem to be attempts at getting the BB unlocked. I have no idea how they leaked, but they don’t work. I am comparing all info I have gathered and am on a good route.
    Just so you know – I have been a programmer since 1990, I have worked for various Czech and Russian companys since the iPhone 2G. I have tested all working unlocks and know why and how they work.
    I know I will crack BB 2.10.04 and 3.10.01 very soon. I am almost sure the DevTeam have a working unlock, though not 100%.
    Also, I will be asking for about 5USD for the unlock, payable by PayPal. My goal is not to make money, just to compensate for the time I should be working on company software. MY MAIN GOAL is to proove that the current unlockers are snobby people, who don’t keep their fans informed. I will show you it can be done differently.
    These 5 dollars will not be a stupid scam like all the fake videos, fake downloads for money, and retarded quiz sites. YOU WILL GET A WORKING UNLOCK. I may do this through Cydia, will be talking to Saurik about it.

    I will keep you updated through this site.

    • Iphone Blogger says:

      Glad to hear that Fyodor , keep us updated . Also you can send me a personal mail via the contact page if you want to share something to the readers of this site …

    • Jeff says:

      I believe if you could have the unlock and works, a lot of people will willing to pay you that 5 dollar to compensate your work. Nothing is free. Just don’t be those fake download.

    • wait says:

      I’ll certainly pay for it, if it works.

    • Sam says:

      Ian willing to pay $20 or $30 to unlock just to use my phone

    • siddhesh says:

      inform me i will pay

    • charlie says:

      HI,

      I believe there must be lots of programers who want to contribute on this unlock research.. why don’t we form a community of our own to discuss, to share, to work together as a team to unlock it.. at lease I am also thinking to try to unlock it .. more people, more power.

      I am working as a telecom standard engineer.. I hope I can do sth to the unlock..

    • Andy says:

      Do that and u´ll be a millionaire!!! Don´t worry about small fee like a 5$… U´ll pull us off the miserable. Screw the “Free/donate policy” of jailbrake comunity – Everything what have to be done, have to be also paid… Just let us know how long will it take – days? weeks?? months???

  23. Zack says:

    Dev team or any of those phone hacker. If you can not unlock I4 2.xx or 3.xx, just make same thing as 3gs. We will take 6.15.00. or whatever. All we need is working phone and using ours carrier. Please try to figure out with I4

  24. Guido Lopez says:

    Finally the DEVteam Lost and we lost with them too
    I hope to learn from my mistake and never ever buy an iphone again to waste so much money

  25. Toni says:

    Dev team needs to be honest with their fans out there, stuck on 02.10.04. Apples monopoly will soon be over. Apple you heard of the saying; “what goes up must go down”? Well, this is exactly what is happening to apple. Giving verizon the capability to use iphone 4 shows that they need support from other corporates to keep them in the game. Android has been the best seller and has had greater sales than apple for the last 6 months. Oh well apple, sh*t has really hit the fan. Not allowing other sim carriers to use 02.10.04 iphone 4, will leave a bitter taste in the moths that own these phone. I don’t think these people will ever buy an iphone ever again. Oh well. My iphone 02.10.04 is going straight in to the garbage today. Had enough of the wait. Say hello to Android. Apple.. good luck with the sales for you shi**y unlock able iphone 5, when ever it comes out.

  26. HungrySage says:

    God i cant express my anger against the dev team and the rest of the community, as well as apple. I am tired of these lies, which arent rumours as they are said by dev team members themselves. I am going to tell you guys honestly, ive been waiting for too long, and now i have posted my phone for sale. F*CK THIS BULLS*IT

  27. HungrySage says:

    I do too believe that the dev team and any other community are screwing with us and will never release an unlock. I’ve been waiting for a good 5 months now, and now there’s officially 3 basebands out there for the iPhone 4 that have not been unlocked.

  28. flare_11 says:

    I totally agree with all of you’z. Its been an absolute dissapointment. I have moved from UK due to work purposes since 5 months now and have been struggling with a st00pid phone whilst my iphone’s lying in the cupboard. I doubt I’d go for an apple product ever again. My bro’z got HTC and he’s had no issues with it what so ever!!!!

  29. crazygun says:

    why is iphone 4 ios 4.1 baseband 02.10.04 is not being released today aswell the date was today why dave team is just postponding the date.before they said they will release after 4.2 release and now we can hear after 4.3 release ,cant we unlock our phone without hackers?is it possible to unlock without hackers?some one tell me please

  30. James says:

    It’s one thing to admit that the unlock for 4.1 and so forth is harder to do, it’s another to Tweets some rumor that it could be done by a certain time and delay it by saying the next next next release. I have AT&T so it doesn’t matter to me about the unlock. It upset me to see someone think they can do something and Tweet useless info to mess people up.
