Unlocking iPhone 4 version 4.3.3

If you are fortunate enough to own an iPhone 4 running 4.3.3 you will have a much easier time using your phone on the GSM network of your choice. That is once the device has been Jailbroken. You can always use the long method described in my previous post but this will make using the device much easier.

Since 4.3.3 is more common than 4.3.4, I will describe this method first and the procedure for 4.3.4 in my next post. Please note that the following method is for 4.3.3 only. Using the wrong Jailbreak procedure can cause a lot of unexpected problems up to and including bricking your phone. That means that if you don't do things properly, your phone may end up nothing more than a paperweight. I make every attempt to describe the process accurately but am in no way responsible for any problems that you may experience. If this concerns you, stay with ATT and the Apple app store and you will be safe.

Jailbreaking your iPhone 4 version 4.3.3 can be accomplished in several different ways. The easiest and recommended method is opening Safari and navigating to www.jailbreakme.com You will obviously need a wifi connection to do this otherwise borrow an ATT customers SIM card so that you can get a data connection. Follow the prompts to install Cydia. That's it! How easy was that? After Cydia is installed you will need to add the furious mod source. Open Cydia and allow it to complete any updates. This should be automatic but if you see a red circle on the Cydia icon with a number inside of it then there are still updates to be performed. Open Cydia and select "Changes" from the bottom menu. Click on reload and then update.

Once your changes have updated click on "Manage>Sources>Edit>Add Source" then after the http//: type in cydia.furiousmod.com

Once you have done this install the furiousmod. Your phone will now recognize the Gevey SIM. All you have to do is reboot and click "Accept" when the welcome message shows up. To get the correct data settings for your carrier go to www.unlockit.co.nz

Tomorrow I will show you how to Jailbreak version 4.3.4 for use with a Gevey adapter.
