The good news is that UltraSn0w 1.2 is finally out now and it will unlock iOS 4.2.1 and 4.1 on the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The bad news is that unlocking is pretty complicated this time around, but we are here to help to make it a bit easier. If your iPhone has a baseband of 05.14.02 or 05.15.01 you will need to update your baseband to 06.15.00, which is an iPad baseband that came with iPad iOS 3.2.2. If your iPhone has baseband 01.59.00, 05.14.04, 05.12.01, 05.11.07, or 4.26.08, then you can simply install UltraSn0w from Cydia. Baseband 05.14.02 or 05.15.01 users need to update to baseband More >

The iPhone Dev-Team just recently released the iPhone 3G / 3GS unlocking tool, UltraSn0w 1.2. As mentioned before, the iPhone 4 unlock will take a bit more time for them to release due to it having a different baseband (02.10.04) compared to the 3G / 3GS (05.15.04). We highly recommend that you carefully read the dev-team blog post before proceeding:

Today we’re pleased to announce our free carrier unlock for iPhone3G/3GS owners with a baseband later than 05.13.04.  The unlock for that baseband exploited the AT+XAPP command, thanks to a crash initially discovered by @sherif_hashim (@Oranav More >

Earlier today, the famous dev-team member MuscleNerd tweeted that he and his fellow dev-team members have successfully tweaked their iPhone unlocking utility to work on Apple’s latest mobile OS, iOS 4.2.1. The tweet read:

When we update ultrasn0w today, 100′s of thousands (maybe millions?) will see red badge. Trying to make it safe for all.

If you happened to read further down the Twitter line, it looks like Ultrsn0w is only going to work on the iPhone 3G / 3GS handsets for the time being since they have a baseband of 05.15.04; the iPhone 4 currently uses a different baseband and still More >

iPad Orientation Lock Feature On iOS 4.2.1 Reclaimed; Requires Jailbreak

If you recently upgraded your iPad to iOS 4.2.1 and you liked the orientation lock feature, you currently have two options: the first being to upgrade and lose the functionality altogether and the second being to upgrade, jailbreak, and get it back. Naturally we’d recommend the latter. In what can be described as “so typically Apple,” the software engineers at Cupertino figured that they’d convert the perfectly acceptable orientation lock switch into a mute switch. Rather than apple creating alternatives within its software, we’ve been left to look for a solution in the jailbreaker’s app More >
