Hi, i wonder if we will be able to hack the iPhone 5 easily, because i am sure that with its new release plan really soon, Apple will give us a hard time to unlock or jailbreak it.

Nov17airforcefalcon ok great pretty easy right, now for the mms call tmiolbe they have a special iphone department and they will give you the long mms setting. They will tell you to go to settings:general/network/cellular data network and scroll down to mms settings they will give you the number. Dont follow any of these videos that tell you what number to add because chances are that it wont work. For your internet to work follow the same steps to get to the network settings page and type there epc.tmiolbe.com

Isn't there now a release for the 3GS? As of two weeks ago, according to this site: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ there is. Shouldn't this be added to the chart? I don't see a tutorial, is that the reason? Just curios. They seem to have pretty clear instruction but I'd prefer an iClarified tutorial as y'all are much more thorough. c

How about for iPhone 3G with firmware 3.1?

maks - September 25, 2009 at 6:17pm

not available atm. coming in a couple of weeks maybe. i'm not really sure.

lponce84 - September 2, 2009 at 1:09pm

This is probably a silly question but how do you unlock a 2g iphone with a non at&t sim card in it. itunes doesn't allow me to restore beacuse it doesn't recognize the sim. I appreciate any help with this.

Budwizer - August 8, 2009 at 9:58pm

Missing Purplera1n for the 3GS.

slevytam - August 13, 2009 at 1:16pm

PurpleRa1n does not support the current iPhone software

Muthu - July 13, 2009 at 12:42am

This is the best place for iPhone users

SVIFI - July 3, 2009 at 4:52am

Beautiful chart.

hacker - June 27, 2009 at 4:36pm

K . J - June 25, 2009 at 2:51am

Hi , how could i know that my iphone is unlocked ? when i've put my sim card on the iphone it worked normally ! is that means that i don't have to jailbreak it ?????

maks - September 25, 2009 at 6:19pm

donald - June 23, 2009 at 3:35am

Klette 24 - June 21, 2009 at 4:30pm

could you specify the kind of mac (ppc or intel) and what osx version is working with every jailbreak/unlock procedure.

foo2002 - June 21, 2009 at 2:14pm

great work....Thks iClarified!!!!

mingjian - June 17, 2009 at 2:37am

i face my iphone is sim lock and i can't go to spring board. i'm outside of US and from Myanmar. so how can i solve that? please help me.

Ann - December 24, 2008 at 8:17am

newbie questions - apologies if this is basic stuff for most of u guys but i have not been able to find the info so far: 1. if u jailbreak your iPhone, will the apps u had downloaded before from the official app store still work? 2. if u jailbreak your iPhone, can u still use the official app store to download new apps?

iClarified - December 27, 2008 at 3:15am

That would be yes to both questions :)

Buddy - June 28, 2009 at 12:17am

As the first guy stated, Yes to both. To elaborate, Jailbreaking will allow you to run third party applications downloaded through sources like Cydia. All other aspects of the iPhone stay the same. With Jailbreaking you can run Apple approved and 3rd party software. The iPhone will be seen and treated like any other iPhone when connected to iTunes and when you download from the App store.

Zwan, As another user who has Jailbroken his phone I can say that it was fairly easy. No you do not need to remove your SIM card from the phone. Just download the quickpwn tool and follow the directions found on this site. Then use Cydia or Installer to install the software you want/need.

Zwan - December 4, 2008 at 5:15pm

I am using Iphone 3G and i wanna know something .. I dont want to unlock my iphone ..i just want to jailbreak it .. if i wanna jailbreak it ...do i need to remove the simcard before jailbreak my iphone ? hope the moderator can answer my question

foo2002 - June 21, 2009 at 2:19pm

if u dont wana unlock ur iphone, dont worry, u can Jailbreak... The tutorial for Jailbreak 3G, with PwnageTool only for Mac (https://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4254) And follow the tutorial...in the General Settings, u must be Deselect Activate if you have an iPhone legitimately activated on an official carrier. ask if u need more info. good luck
