As many have you have already know, the wait for an iPhone 4 unlock for the newer basebands has been dragged on and on at this point. Six weeks ago, MuscleNerd released, the “official unlock statement,” which is that the unlock won’t be released until iOS 4.3 is out of beta. There has been very little news since then, but with 4.3 apparently on the verge of its official release, @MuscleNerd and baseband superhacker, @Sherif_Hashim have given signs that the unlock will be available by the deadline; with Sherif working on an exploit that unlocks both the 3.10.01 and 2.10.04 basebands and MuscleNerd targeting the newer 4.10.01 baseband for 4.3 beta 3. Current i4 unlock goal includes til 04.10.01 (4.3b3). Very weird situation…vuln cmds are there, trying to invoke them! The Dev-Team has been keeping a pretty low profile as 4.3 works its way through beta, trying to avoid the seemingly inevitable cat and mouse game with Apple. Now iPhone users running any baseband later than 1.59.00 cannot unlock, and iPhone 3G/3GS users must use a ported iPad baseband 06.15.00 if they loaded 05.14.00. Fortunately, work seems to be progressing in all aspects, with Sherif Hashim reporting that he’s found an exploit which aparently works for both 3.10.01 and 2.10.04, while MuscleNerd is puzzling through a difficult situation with a 4.10.01. He’s having a hard time invoking the vulnerable commands he’s found, but notes that he’s found an exploit vectors for both 5.14 and 5.15 iPhone 3G / 3GS basebands, though iPhone 4, he says is still a priority. @knusperkex ironically, the i4 unlock search has yielded 05.14 & 05.15 unlock 3G/3GS vectors… but i4 is 1st priority The difficulty of the task along with the desire to avoid revealing an exploit before the iOS update is released has led to the seemingly-interminable delay. There’s a renewed hope, though, that unlocks for all devices will be available when iOS 4.3 drops, which should be soon. Reports are indicating the gold master may be released as soon as Wednesday’s iPad event. On a different note we have gotten reports that GeoHot does not have any exploits to unlock iOS 4.3. Additionally, it will not be released immediately after the iOS 4.3 drops to public, but might take at-most 2 weeks or so before the Unlock is released to the masses. It is rumored that iOS 4.3 will be released along with iPad 2 in an event held by Apple on March 2nd. We are hoping that by 15th March, you will be able to unlock your iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3.
