The Unlock will never happen!!! Here we go again. We’ve been waiting since last summer and will wait forever!
There were always reasons NOT to release the unlock. They said it will be released immediatly after 4.3 comes out, now they are saying will wait for 04.11.02. That means another 2 months of waiting. And guess what, in this time iOS5 will come out and with it another reason NOT to release the unlock and so on and so on….
Sherif is a FAKE, Dev Team is a FAKE!!!
The only one I beleive to be true is Geohot, but he is not working on iPhone unlock…
Where did they say this, that they will be waiting for 04.11.02 bb…. They said that they are waiting for iOS 4.3…. And as per my knowledge 4.3 has this bb…Correct me if i am wrong…
I am also waiting for the unlock….Might loose hope one day….
Wait is all what we can do…
i´m sTILL WAITING BUT I BELIEVE IN SHERIFF AND DEV TEAM
THEY ARE GOOD
Why? What, except stories, did they ever deliver in the last half year?
Don’t be a hater. What have you produced?
Dear all fellows you are right to say that they have not released an unlock for a long time but this is possible that it was not possible for this ios and baseband they might be thinking that it will be possible with the new ios and its baseband could be cracked so don’t be angry as we are also not helping them in any way also they are now facing a law suite and they also have to give time for some earnings. Think for yourself if you have given any donation for this cause. Please pray for them to get out of this law suite or all the helpers will draw there hands back from unlocking cause.
Rana.
Why do they not say so? Nobody is going to say anything if they come out and say “sorry, not possible” But to promise again and again, speaking of “flawlessly working unlock” (sheriff) and keeping the hopes of millions up just to kick them while there down is simply not acceptable.

……….. pls help
Because those people sold their brain to Apple.
how do i change the root password on my iphone 4.3.2. do i use the “openssh” app or is there another way?
Why cant people stop bi*ching about no software unlock and just use ur brain and unlock with gevey sim? I’ve been using it for 2 months now no problems. It’s super easy and only have to redo the process maybe
twice a week if your phone turns off. There are NO legal implications by dialing 112, believe me, you can hang up after 1-2sec and it can’t even start dialing in that time. So stop complaining and bring freeloaders and just get gevey sim if you want to use your beautiful iPhone 4
