iOS 4 Unlock for All Basebands Available

Sebastien, Jun 21, 2010

ultrasn0w 0.93

That was quick. It was so quick that this iOS 4 unlock for all iPhone basebands even came before an official jailbreak for the latest firmware.

UPDATE: There is now a jailbreak for the iPhone 3G on iOS 4.

In a tweet sent to their followers today, the Dev Team released UltraSn0w 0.93 that will unlock basebands 04.26.08 thru 05.13.04. Yes, that means that UltraSn0w will unlock the following basebands:

  • 04.26.08
  • 05.11.07
  • 05.12.01
  • 05.13.04

This is exactly the reason why I told jailbreakers and unlockers to hold off on updating to iOS 4. If you haven’t updated to the latest firmware then you will be able to install UltraSn0w via Cydia.

If on the other end you have already updated to iOS 4, then rejoice because the Dev Team will update their jailbreaking tools (namely RedSn0w and PwnageTool) so you can jailbreak iOS 4. If you have an iPhone 3G on iOS, you can jailbreak by following these instructions.

Here are the instructions to unlock your iPhone:

  1. Make sure your iPhone is jailbroken.
  2. Go to Cydia and search for “ultrasn0w”. If you can’t find it, add the following repo: repo666.ultrasn0w.com
  3. Install UltraSn0w.
  4. Reboot your iPhone.
  5. Done!

Feel free to write a comment if you have any question or concern.

  • imran

    You can now jailbreak and unlock iOS 4 all versions. use Redsn0w 0.9.5 beta 4 or 5 for windows or mac this works like a charm no glitches whatsoever. it also asks you if you want to enable multitasking and the wallpapers for lock and home screen.

  • imran

    @ DEE

    just reinstall your iphone Os and re-jailbreak you’ll be good to go

  • hookdonbritney

    so Im tryin to select the ipsw file, but it keeps saying unrecognized. I have the latest redsn0w, what else could it be?

  • Mike

    I have an iPhone 3G I unlocked for my friend. The phone can make and receive calls and txt but there are no data or mms settings. Why do I need to do?

  • Fran

    Someone please help me..I have a 3Gs Iphone w/the OS 4. How do I jailbreak it? Is it even possible? A store by my house insists it can be done for 65$..
    Now, can I use all the jailbreaking things without a working SIM? I cant get my SIM to work in this phone (it was a hand me down after my bro got his new one Thursday he updated the OS for me, I wish he hadn’t now) Also can I downgrade the OS? Please have mercy on my dumb brain..

  • edbatz

    bis thanks to you guys, iphone 3g here, running on 3.1.3/5.12.01/5.09 finally unlocked after an agonizing of waiting for 3 months!!!

  • HORNiKENt

    hey guys… my iphone was put on aeroplane mode by accident, and then i clicked out of it and locked my iphone. When i slide to enter my iphone it asks for a passcode, and i have no idea how the passcode got there because i dont use passcodes and i have tried numerious passcodes but i am afraid it might get disabled.

    I have found out that if i restore my iphone to version 1os4 which it already was it will work but the problem is my iphone 3g 8gb is callbarred or something like that so i have to wait for the offical unlock to come out like blackra1n but unortunately that doesnt work so is there any other alternatives which you can help me on please….

    Itd be much appreciated if any ideas or clues. At the moment it still asks for the passcode which i have no idea what it is..so what can i do from further onwards…??

  • roookooo

    i just wanna say one thing to jiffer riffic….i live in canada bitch…also i believe the whole purpose of unlocking is not to use your lousy fuking at and t network so goodluck retrieving info when know one is using your simcard lol

  • erik

    followed directions and it worked fine

  • Presy

    Hi guys!
    Do you know when jailbreak is released for iOS 4 to iphone 3Gs 3.1.3 05.12.01 ?

  • norbert90

    Hey Guys, I’ve just jailbreaked my iphone 3g ios 4 baseband 05.13.04 and I’m currently trying to unlock it as well using ultrasn0w. I launched cydia and added repo666.ultrasn0w.com and installed ultrasn0w however it’s still locked. I reinstalled ultrasn0w many times after disabling 3g and resetting network settings however the problem still persist. Will be thankful for your help!

  • mmm

    here’s a good link that I found, it’s free and may help answer some of your questions about unlocking various iphones

    http://www.iclarified.com/

    however, since I got the new iphone 4 it seems that I cant do anything with it besides using it for internet for now. If somebody knows some links that could help unlocking that phone, please do tell.

    later

    Hi guys,

    I am pretty new at this iphone stuff.
    I was thinking of buying the Iphone 3GS
    8Gb model with the new iOS4 on it.

    Is there a way I can unlock it and use it on
    a different carrier.

    I am sorry but i guess it has been covered
    but i am really new to this.

    If it is possible please let me know how i
    can do it.

    Thank you,
    abinav

    Does this apply to iPhone 3Gs?

  • tdon

    I am going to the UK in a few days – hoping to put an O2 Pay&Go SIM in my iPhone 3G while I’m there.

    Can I unlock my iPhone now and continue using AT&T until I get to London? Or do I need to wait until I’m ready to switch carriers before unlocking?

    If it’s not painfully obvious, I’m new to this.

    Many thanks.

    note: I successfully jailbroke my iPhone 3g (ios4) with redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5.

    Hello;

  • meba

  • nystical

    VERY HELPFUL WEBSITE. THE STEPS ARE SO EASY TO FOLLOW.. AFTER I UPGRADED BY ACCIDENT TO 4.0 I THOUGHT I WAS DONE, BUT THIS HELPED ME. IT WAS SO EASSSSSSSSSSSYYY

  • Ife

    I can’t find ultrasn0w on my cydia, when I try to add it under the “manage” section it gives me an error message

  • BCBaker

    YOU FIXED MY iPhone! I was literally moments from throwing it into the trash (or an Apple Store window) due to the fact that “Internet Tethering” continued to run and was preventing any wi-fi connection. “Network Restore,” ” Full Restore,”both performed on the device and “Erase and Restore to 4.0.1″ through iTunes failed to correct the problem nor did any of the possible fixes mentioned on Apple’s website. The iPhone would not recognize any wireless network except a false one called “SETUP.”
    Establishing a computer to computer network while attached to the USB cable may have helped, but that was after it was jail-broken. Jail breaking with redsn0w didn’t stop the “Internet Tethering” “spinning wheel of death”, but wifi began working properly. Unlocking the phone stopped it . Your products seemed to have actually fixed a known and fairly common bug with “Internet Tethering” crashing and taking out wifi with it. Thank you so much for all of your great work. I hope you find financial success through your good deeds.
    Note to all others- READ THE MAN’S INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

    iPhone 3G>3.3 >then to 4.0.1>(4.0 redsn0w(ed) installed)>ultrasn0w(ed)=it works now.

  • Neek

  • Neo Shrestha

    Hi Guys..please help me out. My iPhone is:

    3G
    OS: 4.0 (8A293)
    bootloader: 05.09
    baseband: 05.13.04
    model: MB048LL

    I have installed ultrasn0w 1.1-1, but can’t get the phone unlocked.

    I have tried to search ultrasn0w 0.93 but can’t find, all im getting is 1.1-1.

    Is it like only 0.93 version can unlock the 4.0 and 5.13.04 and ultrasnow 1.1-1 can not ?

    Help me guys…im in kinda quagmire
    will highly appreciate any help.

  • Jigar

    I do not have wifi on my iphone 3g. M trying to unlock without wifi. I created IPSW 4.0 with snowbreeze along with ultrasnow (the IPSW now has ultrasnow in itself) and than transferred it to my iphone. The iphone was jailbroken, cydia installed with ultrasnow. There are options to modify or delete the package of ultrasnow from cydia but still my iphone is showing no service. i do not have wifi so i cannot connect to internet. Plz help me out. M in great trouble. Its been 3 days since i spoke to my girlfriend
