Till now iPhone 4 unlockers had to update to iOS 4.1 without upgrading baseband using TinyUmbrella first, before they proceed with Limera1n jailbreak and then unlock with Ultrasn0w 1.1-1. iPhone 3GS users couldjailbreak using PwnageTool which restores to custom IPSW firmware while preserving current baseband.
Well, the wait for iPhone unlock on newer basebands 05.14.02 and 2.10.04 is soon going to be over, as Sherif Hashim, iPhone hacker has come up with a new crash that can unlock these on iPhone 4 and 3GS.
@sherif_hashim tweets:
since nearly all my received tweets ask about both BB, I can report very early “initial” 1st step success on both sides, calmed down?
@sherif_hashim very early first steps means.. you’ve found a crash that can potentially prove to be an expoitable vulnerability?
@sherif_hashim replies:
@marwan a bit more sure than this, yeah
So there you go, a confirmed answer regarding a possible unlock for the new basebands. But he expects it to release only after official release of iOS 4.2.
So you may be seeing the new unlock in a month or more, again going by his tweets.
We will keep you updated as more news come in about iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS jailbreak and unlock. Stay tuned!
