If I only talk abt UNLOCK for Iphone 4 BB 2.10 or 3.10, then APPLE Inc is the BAD GUY…
For me, no one from the above mentioned list has been helpful, so no one is a HERO for me, except for the jailbreak(which I really appreciate) I have not seen these So called HERO Hackers, develop & contribute towards the society.
People who are stuck on 2.10 & 3.10 have been begging them literally for assistance, but TILL DATE, NO ONE from these So called HERO Hackers have been able to help..
I am only talking in regards to 2.10 & 3.10 BB Unlock.
They might have done wonderful things in past for Iphone 3Gs unlock, & Iphone 4 BB 1.59 Unlock.. But majority of people are stuck on 2.10 & 3.10.
The need of the time is – a working UNLOCK solution – If our So called HERO Hackers have capabilities & can stand to claim the title of a “HERO” they will really have to get into the action & comeup with this long time awaited solution for the masses.
APPLE has upper hand so far in this race for decoding BB firmware for Iphone4..
Its time to show what you have got guys & claim the title of HERO Hackers with pride..
Best of luck!
thanks for your views Iphone Cracker ….
I agree… We have been waiting now for too long. They have indirectly been promising us an unlock so many times. (before xmas, after xmas, before new year, after 4.3…) all giving us false hope!!!
Come on guys… live up to you’re so called reputations!!!! As iphone cracker said, APPLE still has the upper hand….
gevey sim card works for me so far so good ;o)
So, instead of just crying, don´t try to make it yourself? A little harder, I guess? So pay for a unlocked one at eBay.
I bought a iphone 4, but still using my 3GS because there is no unlock for newer basebands.
They do their work for free, for everyone else to use (and sometimes, earn money with their solutions!).
Daring them to do your wishes don´t make them worker faster. It is now time to support them. Or do you think Apple Engineering Team is made of all-du**b@55? They are working hard either to avoid unlocks…
I agree Bro.
me to stucked in 03.10.01
Dears i do agree with the iphone cracker to this extent that there is no unlock for those basebands uptill now but just think that if we are stuck at those basebands, is it there fault or had they, at any time, said to upgrade your ios to this one don’t just make a blame on the iphone hackers they must be trying to find an unlock but if there is no unlock for these basebands then we ourselves are responsible for our loss and have no right to blame them. Please just pray to God to help the iphone hackers to find any unlock for our wellfare.
RANA.
These guys are doing great job keep it up!!!!!!!!!
4.3 just got released sometime back. Please provide a working unlock for 02.10 and 03.10.
Are you kidding? There is no unlock, only thing is now that they have to think of some excuse why there is no unlock 1 day earlier then planed. There is a rumor for 4.3.1 (stability issues for HDMI output with iPadII adapter) so they surely have to wait for that.
In April (next month) a Apple Event has been arranged to preview iOS5, but before that there WILL be 4.4.
So, keep on waiting, any unlock for the old 4.1 and 4.2 system (over 6 month now)is going to stay a fantasy.
chriss is telling the truth. MuscleNerd just confessed on his twitter account that they dont know how to do it.
What pi$$e$ me off the most is that they claim to be able to unlock the OS 4.1 which lead to people upgrading to 4.1. The earlier OS was able to be unlocked. ^(^(*#### * team and their lies.
If you wanted a unlock then you shouldn’t have upgraded your Modem Firmware or you should have gotten the first release or if it’s that big of a deal sign up for the carrier that has the iPhone. Read before you move forward with updating iOS and jailbreaking with a solution that doesn’t preserve your baseband. There is another option… Get a iPhone 3g. Then your problems are solved. You can’t accidentally mess that up. And always remember kids, good things come to those who wait. I can’t do (or tried) what they do but I do know how to read there instructions and that gets me by.
We are having one of d best cell phone in our hands ie iphone 4 but we ppl are still begging for its unlock BB 02.10.04…
No one can do nothing with the new apple bb.
Everyone how sais there is a solution is lieing no one has nothing no single begining of
Solution for 3.10/2.10 bb may godbe with us
try GEVEY SIM
Be Careful what you don’t wish for…!!!!
Buy a Gevey sim card and stop crying cost 10 dollars on ebay
Yo **** and as Lopez said buy a GeVey Sim card cost $10 on ebay and $15 on any store and $25 if u want that store person to unlock your phones….. and guess wat u should spend 25 coz u people just cant read the instructions and follow them as required lol
To the left of p0six is nitoTV. To the right of geohot is Jaywalker.

obrigado
abraçao
will there be an unlock for baseband 4.11.08 or not??
can you guys point me to a good jailbreak for ISO 5 on iphone 4. all the ones I try but I dont have any luck.. Please
okay, i know you guys are all hyped up and uppity about your bb’s and whatnot trying to unlock your phones. but really, these guys work hard to give us what they do. and if you’re complaining or saying anything against them, go ahead and try to develop a jailbreak or unlock your baseband. just try it once to see how hard it is.
i tell you what. i know a lot about computers and apple products. much more than the average joe-shmoe who downloads a crack for his iphone because its cool. but it would take me at least 24 hours just to figure out where to start!
so don’t whine and complain about not being able to unlock your phone because a genius who has already given you insane amounts of information (some at great personal risk i might add) wants to spend his time on something that is more worth his time and much more productive. if it’s really that big of a deal just buy one on ebay that comes unlocked.
thanks devteam! props to you all!
