iPhone 4S Owners Hoping to Eventually Unlock Should NOT Update to iOS 5.0.1
Comments

seems the source of that entry is not reliable......we have no choice but tracking on MuscleNerd and iClarified everyday.....wtf..

So I was at baseband 1.0.14 on my 4S 5.0.1. I then used the other firmware, there are 2 firmwares for 5.0.1 on a 4S, to get my baseband down to 1.0.13. How the hell can it work like that? I'm glad it did, but how? I always understood that it is difficult next to impossible to downgrade a baseband - for example anyone stuck on ipad baseband who might want to downgrade back to whatever stock firmware/baseband. No utility required, just a simple restore from itunes with the phone in dfu. If that worked so easily why can't I install an older firmware on my mother's 3GS and thereby downgrade the baseband?

" However, in November MuscleNerd revealed that an unlock was looking 'very promising' and was able to use an exploit to dump the baseband bootrom. However, it's not clear if or when an unlock based on that exploit will materialize." Very promising,indeed.As the iPhone4 unlock...This will materialize when Apple stops paying. Oh,and...where are those retards saying they don't accept donations? And,if i'm here,i'd like 2 ask...how's George Hotz,the fighter for the freedom,doing? oh yeah,working on FaceBook,after he got some millions in donations...i know, i know,he needed that 2 fight for the cause...do you like how this ended up?

PHIL & UNLOCK i DO BELIEVE JUST BY OBSERVING BOTH OF YOU THAT YOU ARE BOTH GAY LOVERS (AM I RIGHT)?????

I just got my iPhone 4s, but is came with IOS 5.01. I tried to downgrade to 5.0, I'm I still capable of downgrading. Please help....

This is great news for a person who do business travel a lot like me especially out of the country. I will definitely save some dollarsl. I hope this one will be a reality in the near future.

DT - I do not lick dicks. Therefore, it is obvious that I am not Unlock.

Phil, thats just because your mom does it for you.

Not true, but at least I know who my mom is. By the way, I gather that you acknowledge that you do lick dicks?

Read much? Because I didn't address it I agree with it? You must agree with everything I said below then since you are too big of a pussy to deal with the truth.

Certainly everyone else on here agrees with it. The rest of your comment I cannot address since it made absolutely no sense.

i agree that unlock sucks dicks (so does phil)

Yes, unlock sucks dicks

You guys are too much fun. Maybe I'll start reading the comments more often.

Wtf, my 3GS has been "locked" for almost 2 years. It's the most expensive paper weight I have ever seen.

At least the real Phil could post in the right section instead of another comment altogether and sounded at least somewhat intelligent. You, however seem to be nothing but trailer park white trash that got his hands on his sugar mamas computer.

how do you downgrade to 9A405?

Thats what MusleNerd mention,if your iPhone 5.0.1 (9A406) go ahead find the 5.0.1(9A405) at the link where it say "here" with dark letter

I downloaded the firmware 9A405. How do I apply it? Thanks

all you do is plug in your phone and hit shift and click restore and find the ipsw file!

hi! my iphone 4s came with ios5 build number 9A334 , is this fine??? I'm looking forward to unlock my phone...

Yeah,stay that way. Don't upgrade even on the setting of your iphone asking to update

To iClarified,I hope you edit the comment that ppl saying their name under different persons name,I read this cmmnt hv'g name:Benedikt/Tim Cook & Our Dev-Team MslNrd...we as the ppl that need guidance getting wrong idea fr this names.so pls update the cmnt if they r true under that name,so we can get right info. Thx much iClarified.

@ Unlock? Why? you are an uneducated excuse for a man.... I dont know why I even come here ur all so stupid and dumb . You all belong in a trailer park cus ur all inbred especially u Unlock? Why?

Ha! I knew it I am glad I didn't update my Iphones4s last nite almost did. I am still on 5.0 .. 5.0.1 still has a battery problem..sisnce I updated my iphone4 for my daughter the battery sucks..I took it to apple they said they knew about the firmware problem they are releasing a new firmware that would solve the problem

I am MuscleNerd and I approve this message.

yeah .. and i'm Benedikt XVI. and i give you my blessings..

Hi MuscleNerd,great to have you weitting cmnt in here. basically I hv my i4S on 5.0 (.9A334),then whn the news showed us to upgrade,I upgraded to 5.0.1 straight fr my device (on update software),its becouse I can't find the iOS thru iClarified at that time. Do it did upgrade to 5.0.1 (9A405) not to (9A406)...,but th BB got upgrade too to 1.0.13... & I got TU saved my Blop. Now if I downgrade to 5.0,would be possible to get Unlock with th 1.0.13 ?...Thanks much.....

I'm Tim Cook and I approve this message

Sory wt th spelling,I punch it right but got wrong words....lol

You can't downgrade to iOS 5.0 because Apple is no longer signing the firmware. Just stay where you are (9A405).

Confusing article. Is it really possible to downgrade your baseband? If it's true that there are different baseband versions between build 9A406 and 9A405, then why downgrade to 9A405 if it will not downgrade your baseband at the same time?

didn't try it out yet but it probably will downgrade the baseband. And that is only possible because apple is still signing both firmware versions and therefore both basebands.

Yes it's true. 906 & 905 has different baseband 1.0.14 & 1.0.13. So rule of thumb is stay at 1.0.13.

Yes, I understand it is possible to downgrade as long as Apple is still signing both 9A405 and 9A406. My question is: Will this downgrade your baseband as well once you have upgaded to the latest one?? My understanding is that you can never downgrade you baseband the same way you are downgrading the firmware.

Yeah, can someone verifty this?

Tom & DUMMY, it's amazing how moronic you pathetic fools are. There are plenty of us that travel that want the unlock, and since you need to be jailbroken for it to work, of course the jailbrake is the most important, no one is saying otherwise. Not to mention that an unlocked iPhone brings in way more money on resale. Go back to sucking your own Tom as no one cares what you think.

Agreed.... Unlocked is great for traveling purposes. And also for re-sale.

What a pile of horse crap! A factory unlocked phone IS worth significantly more. Hacked/software unlocked? Maybe that will get you a couple more dollars, but that's it.

Sorry Phil, you don't know what your talking about. I sold my iPhone 4 for $150 more than my wife's because mine was software unlocked. You just gotta find the right market.

Sorry Unlock, but it is YOU who don't know what you are talking about. You are living in the past. What you say is no longer true, in ANY market.

Really Phil? Cause I just did that just over a month ago. You gonna tell me it's changed that dramatically in a month? Just cause you can't do it doesn't mean no one can.

No. I am just not willing to scam somebody selling them an 'unlocked' phone, knowing that they don't know that they are being misled.

Assumptions assumptions assumptions. You know they make you look like an ass right? The person I sold the phones to was a comp e graduate student from Russia. He knew exactly what he was getting as this is a day job for him and was more than willing to pay more. Ignorance isn't so fun is it?

Ha ha. You are such a liar. You scammed someone out of some extra money and probably aren't even willing to contribute a dime to any potential unlock. You are what make us all look bad, pieces of scum like you. No problem, though. There are no future software unlocks coming, so you will have to find a different scam.

Man, you really are stupid. I bet you're one of those dirty kinds of liberals that think that anyone who makes money had to do it unethically. I could post my Craigslist add but I'm sure you would find something else to complain about. How does it feel to be inferior? Knowing that you aren't as good as me so you have to try and make me look bad must make you angry. And by the way, check out MuscleNerds tweet on Nov 27th and then tell me again there are no more software unlocks comming... Jackass.

You who feel that you must post anonymously are offering to post something that would identify you? Now everybody can see that you are full of it. Please, please, leave this site. We don't need leeches like you here. Have a nice day; but do it somewhere else.

Cant prove me wrong? Run out of ammo? Buh-bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out. (by the way, Craigslists posts don't identify me... Clueless yet again).
