How does unlocking my iPhone affect the manufacturer’s warranty?

If you use the method advertised on this site then you have nothing to worry about. Our unlocking service is authorized by Apple and actually uses iTunes to complete the unlocking process. On the other hand, there are methods that you might choose to unlock your iPhone which will void your manufacturer’s warranty. Until recently there were few methods available for unlocking iPhones. The most popular ones were achieved by installing third party software or “jailbreaking” the device in order to circumvent the network lock. The other option was to use a “Turbo SIM” adapter which tricked the phone into thinking that it was connected to its native network. While both of these methods achieved the desired effect, they came with a few complications.

In the case of a jailbroken iPhone your warranty is immediately voided as soon as you perform the jailbreak operation. Apple licenses the software which can be used on its phones and by doing so protects the copyrights of both itself and parties who develop applications for the iPhone. Since jailbreaking theoretically allows one to obtain software without the owner’s consent or software which has not been tested and authorized by Apple, it is not allowed by the Apple Corporation. In addition to the ability to download applications without paying for them it is also possible to affect the performance of your iPhone by installing applications that do not function properly or conflict with other operations.

In the case of Turbo SIM adapters, there are often requirements such as following complicated steps to program the phone every time that it is powered off. The Turbo SIM card adapters work by fooling the phone into thinking that it has made contact with its native carrier during its wake up cycle. Once the phone is turned off ne must begin by repeating this programming again at power up. This can be time consuming and will also be required if the battery goes completely dead and in some cases it will be required for no apparent reason.

Another drawback to both of these latter methods is that upgrading your software will often result in the jailbreak being removed or the SIM card adapter no longer effective. By using the factory unlock method offered here you will never have to worry about software conflicts, problems caused by upgrading and last but not least this will not affect your warranty in any way. Not only that but it also adds value to your device in case you ever decide to sell it.    

iPhone 4 unlocked

If you want to have your iPhone 4 unlocked then you may have a few options. It all depends on what software is installed on your phone. You can have your iPhone 4 unlocked with software as long as you are running a version which can be jailbroken. Currently anything above 5.1.1 cannot be jailbroken and will require a factory unlock. The good news is that unlocking your iPhone 4 using the factory method is not only easy but also very inexpensive. You can order your unlock from us for $19.99 and it will be processed within twenty-four hours. Often we can complete your unlock request within a few hours depending on the time of day that you submit your request.

Before you request a factory unlock for your iPhone 4 you must be certain that:

•    Your IMEI is in fact locked to the AT&T network
•    Your phone is has not been reported lost or stolen
•     An insurance claim has not been filed against your phone
•     The phones original owner does not owe money to AT&T

If you are not sure whether or not your iPhone is locked to the AT&T network you can email your IMEI to rickbcaol@gmail.com for verification. You will receive a response that confirms whether or not we can unlock your iPhone. There is no charge for this service. 

If your iPhone 4 has been reported lost or stolen we cannot refund your unlocking fees so please be sure that you trust the person that you purchased the phone from. Carriers are now sharing a database of “blacklisted” cell phones. This means that if your phone has been blacklisted by AT&T then you will also be unable to use it with T-Mobile or any other US based GSM carrier. 

If an insurance claim has been filed against your phone then it might be blacklisted. In this case the conditions in the preceding paragraph will apply to your phone.

While it is uncommon, there are situations where carriers may blacklist a cell phone due to a past due balance and/or a customer not fulfilling his contractual agreement. Please note that the process of blacklisting an IMEI may take several weeks. This means that even if your iPhone 4 is working with AT&T at the moment it may later be banned from all networks. Never buy a phone from someone that you don’t trust.

Gevey Ultra S SIM for CDMA iPhones

In order to unlock your Verizon or Sprint iPhone 4S you will need a SIM card adapter and it will be necessary to delete the phones native carrier bundles. Your phone must also be jailbroken so this will only work with iPhones running 5.1.1 or lower. Here is what you must do as shown in the videos below:

1. Purchase a Gevey Ultra S SIM card adapter- Buy the real thing there are lots of counterfeits!
2. Download iFunbox 
3. Jailbreak your iPhone using RedSn0w
4. Connect to iFunbox and navigate to Raw File System>var>wireless>library and delete any white icons that contain "310"
5. Next open the "System" folder and navigate to library>carrier bundles>iPhone and delete any folders named "Zeppelin" as well as any that say "Verizon" or "Sprint" depending on your carrier. Wait for the list to refresh and then look for any white icons that contain "310" again. These need to be deleted also. 

Factory unlock your iPhone for T-Mobile

Now you can easily unlock your iPhone 4 as well as many other models. The best thing about it is that once you complete your factory unlock your phone will remain that way forever. This new method for unlocking iPhones applies to the 3GS, 4, 4S and iPhone 5 as long as the iPhone was originally on the AT&T network. There are factory unlocks available for other carriers but the prices and availability varies greatly. If you have an iPhone that is from a different carrier just submit your IMEI to this site and follow the activation process in the video after your unlock has been processed. .

A lot of the people that come here are looking for a way to unlock their iPhone for T-Mobile or one of its MVNOs. An MVNO is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator. That is a company which uses an existing network to sell their own brand name. An example of an MVNO for T-Mobile would be Simple Mobile or Solavei who have their own rate plans but ride on T-Mobile’s network. Most MVNOs are sell pre-paid service with no contract requirements but usually have the same quality as the network that they are reselling. One thing to consider when unlocking your iPhone for T-Mobile or one of its MVNOs is that you will need to jailbreak your iPhone in order to send and receive MMS or picture messages. Talk, text and your internet browser should work automatically although on occasion it will be necessary to input your data settings manually.

If you are trying to unlock your iPhone for international use then you are in the right place. You can still use the factory unlock option as this will allow your phone to accept any GSM SIM card. That is assuming the destination you will be traveling to offers service through a GSM wireless carrier. In most cases this will be the case as most of the world uses GSM or “Global Standard for Mobile” with a few rare exceptions. If you are trying to unlock your iPhone for use on Metro PCS or Cricket then you will need to find someone who can “Flash” the software on your iPhone. This only works with CDMA iPhones so yours must be branded for Verizon or Sprint as AT&T iPhones cannot run on a CDMA network.

iphone 4 camera specs

I want to discuss the iphone 4 camera specs on this page. While it is important to remember that there is much more to a camera than its number of megapixels, I am impressed by how well this camera performs. Apple has always done well in this department even before they figured out that adding a flash would be a good idea. In comparison to the 3gs, the iphone 4 specs are almost doubled in the megapixel category. Not only that but we can finally takes pictures in dimly lit areas. For those of you who just want the iphone 4 specs without my opinion here they are:

• 5.0 megapixels
• 29mm non-zoom lens
• Shutter= 1/15-1/10055
• ISO 80-1000
• 2.8 max aperture
• 3.5 inch LCD display viewfinder

Since I am a novice camera user I will summarize the iphone 4 camera as an easy to use point and shoot device. The pictures are impressive compared to other smart phone camera in the same category. I have used several other 3g devices which had cameras all the way up to 12 megapixels. While their numbers might score higher than the iphone 4 camera specs, either I wasn’t operating them properly or they just weren’t all that much better. Sure more megapixels might mean bigger pictures but I only need for them to be as big as my monitor. I’m not printing up life size photos from my cell phone so all of that space just seems wasted if you ask me.

It is also noteworthy to mention the iphone 4 video recording. While a lot of camera work well with still photos or videos, the iphone 4 camera performed well in both categories. The auto focus mechanism makes it easy to record even at close range. I had a fixed location about 18 inches away from the phone while I recorded video under fluorescent lighting and it turned out looking very nice. I know of at least one movie that was shot entirely on an iphone 4. Check out the Avengers preview below. Parts of this were filmed using an iphone 4 camera!



While one might think that a serious camera enthusiast wouldn’t dream of using a cell phone camera to produce professional images well, maybe they would after all. It’s hard to find fault with something that is so easy to use yet produces a high quality product. The only thing that I’m not super excited about is the front facing camera. While this isn’t the primary camera would it have really been so hard to use something decent? A .3 megapixel 640x480 VGA resolution toy is a bit disappointing to find in any Apple product. That makes facetime look worse than most webcams. I don’t expect a lot but .3 MP? Other than that it really is decent overall.

Another thing that is nice to know is that you can replace your lens cover easily if it becomes scratched. It is actually built into the rear panel of the phone. You can easily replace it yourself using just a screwdriver or pentalobe driver depending on how old your iphone 4 is.

Just remove the two screws at the bottom and slide the back panel upwards. Then install your new replacement back and you have a brand new camera lens. Remember that this does technically void your warranty if Apple finds out. If you strip the screws at the bottom or replace the back with a different color you can kiss your warranty goodbye. Then again if the back is all scratched up or broken then it is probably too late anyways.

Possible 4.11.08 Unlock Solution on the Way

Rumor has it that a new Gevey Ultra SIM capable of unlocking the latest iPhone 4 base band may be just around the corner. Representatives from Applenberry are said to have stated that development for a SIM adapter that will unlock the 4.11.08 base band has in fact started and may be available as soon as the end of February. The retail cost of this new hardware unlock solution should be around $49 not unlike the current generation which unlocks versions 4.1 through 4.3.5

Gevey SIM card adapter directions

For those of you who are fortunate enough to have an iPhone 4 running version 4.3.5 or below, here are my Gevey instructions to help you get your iPhone unlocked:

*Video has been added to this post.

1. Initially, switch off the iPhone 4. Put in the SIM card with the Gevey SIM adapter beneath it within the iPhone 4.

2. Following that switch on the unit. Once the iphone powers on a message will be offering you the choice to “Cancel” or “Accept”. Choose “Cancel”.

3. Select “Settings” and additionally scroll right down to pick “Phone” Scroll down once more and choose “SIM Applications” Click “Instructions” and go along with them. This time around you can select “Accept” when ever provided with the choice to “Cancel” or “Accept”. (Described within steps 4-7)

4. Go back to home display and watch for the iphone to exhibit just one bar of transmission strength, with no service provider title.

5. Open up your “Phone” screen. Call “112” and terminate the phone call 2 seconds after clicking “Send”.

6. Return to the “Settings” display screen. Switch on “Airplane Mode” and simply wait until such time as “No SIM” information shows up.

7. Deactivate “Airplane Mode” and then press “Ok” on any extra announcements that show up. From then on merely wait. Sooner or later the device should display a single bar transmission strength, after that 3 bars and lastly your own provider ought to be displayed.

In the event you view a fail message you did some thing incorrectly and need to repeat the task. Make sure you choose “Cancel” during step #2. Simply clicking “Accept” is instinctive yet will probably disable the SIM adapters unlocking functionality.

Please be aware that these guidelines apply only to a Gevey SIM card adapters that had been purchased prior to 06/25/11.

The new micro SIM has to be clipped so that you can allow for a Gevey chip. Directions have to be adhered to exactly and quickly. Stopages through the operation could possibly disrupt the programming operation.

1. Initially, switch off the apple iphone 4. Put in the SIM card together with the Gevey SIM adapter underneath it into the apple iphone 4.

2. After that switch on your phone. As soon as the cell phone powers on, unlock and simply wait. A message will be displyed in a non-English language. Now click “Accept”. Look for the device to exhibit just one bar of transmission strength, with no company name.

3. From your home display screen, open up the “Phone” app. Dial “112” and close the phone call 2 seconds after you have clicked “Send”.

4. Click on the home key and open up the “Settings” app. Switch on “Airplane Mode” and after that switch it back off right away. The device will probably show “Sim Failure. ” That is standard.

5. Remain patient simply clicking “Airplane Mode” on and then off until finally it shows “No SIM Card Installed. ” This might require up to 100 clicks, you need to be patient. As soon as it says “No SIM Card Installed, ” watch for signal.



(NOTE: You might have to turn Airplane Mode on and off once more in the event that it doesn’t change from “No SIM, ” within the provider display, to at least one bar).
When it shows the carrier you are trying to make use of, you're all set!

Unlocking iPhone 4 version 4.3.4

4.3.4 version is not supported by Jailbreakme.com and therefore requires an alternate method of Jailbreaking in order to add the furiousmod source. Again, it is possible to use the "Long Method" for programming your iPhone 4 version 4.3.4 in order to enable use of a Gevey SIM Card adapter.

Jailbreaking will require RedSn0w and the 4.3.4 ipsw file.

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.

How to Unlock your 4.3.5 iPhone 4

As of today 4.3.5 is the highest software version that can be unlocked on an iPhone 4. There is no way to unlock the iPhone 4S whatsoever as I said "as of today."

You will need to purchase a Gevey SIM Card adapter and follow the "Long Method" described below. Remember not to update the software on your iPhone 4 when you plug it into iTunes. This will make the Gevey SIM card adapter useless and you will have to wait for the next unlock solution to be released. This is not expected to happen for a long time so be careful what you click on if you use iTunes. Also, do not ever press the "Erase All Content and Settings" option. This will require your iPhone 4 to be plugged into iTunes and upgraded to the latest software version again rendering your Gevey useless.

If you would like to purchase a Gevey Ultra SIM card adapter that has been pre-tested, just drop me an e-mail at dave77er@yahoo.com and I will send you my ebay link. If you find one elsewhere, that's fine but beware. There are a lot of imitations out there and even the legit one's have about 5% defective rate. I test mine first before I sell them so that my customers won't have that problem.

Since there is only a "tethered" jailbreak available for 4.3.5 at the moment it really isn't worth using for most people. Perform the procedure below and your iPhone 4 will be unlocked within a couple of minutes. You only have to repeat the process if you power off the phone or the battery dies. In most cases turning airplane mode on doesn't seem to be a problem; once deactivated you should get signal again without needing to repeat the procedure:

Gevey Unlock "Long" Method

Turn off your iPhone 4
Insert trimmed SIM card with Gevey underneath.
Turn on the phone and wait for the "Welcome" message.
Click Cancel (This is counter intuitive.)
Click "Settings" then "Phone"
Scroll to the bottom and select "SIM Applications"
Click "Instructions" and follow them. See below.
Go to the phones dialer and wait until you can see one bar in the service indicator area. Do not proceed if it says "No Service" or you will have to start all over.
Once you see one bar dial 112. Wait two seconds and then end the call.
Go back into settings and select "Airplane Mode"
Wait until the "No SIM" message appears.
Deactivate airplane mode.
Now just wait and accept any messages that you see on the screen.
Next you should see "Searching" or two bars of signal strength. Keep waiting.
Next you should see that you are connected to your GSM carrier. If not, start over again.

I will add some photos soon. Tomorrow I will post instructions for 4.3.3
