CutYourSim claims permanent iPhone unlock solution without jailbreaking

CutYourSim, a company that makes SIM cutters, is out with a service they claim permanently unlocks your GSM iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G – without the need for jailbreaking. It’s an “official iPhone unlock”, they explain, and will carry on forever. This lets you unlock your device for use with any carrier and update it to the latest iOS firmware and baseband without waiting for an unauthorized unlock to be released:

The unlock will work with any iPhone version, and any baseband version, no need to worry about updating to the latest version anymore.
The iPhone Dev-team seem to be endorsing this solution. It doesn’t come cheap and will set you back $169 per device. Best of all, the company says, the procedure won’t void your warranty. How’s that possible? MacStories.net offers one possible explanation. Read on…




The site speculates that CutYourSim must have found a way to access Apple’s database that holds unique IMEI numbers. It’s highly unlikely they hacked Apple’s own database, but they could have accessed it from a carrier’s online backend, the author explains.

From there, it’s a simple matter of whitelisting your device’s IMEI, which removes the lock on your device. If that’s the case, something tells me Apple will soon ask its carriers to tighten their online security in order to prevent unauthorized IMEI whitelisting. They might also send their legal sharks after CutYourSim.

iPhone Dev-Team Ports Monte Untether Back to iOS 4.1 SHSH Blobs

The iPhone Dev-Team has successfully ported their Monte untether back to the iOS 4.1 kernel.

Previously to untether your jailbreak using Monte you needed to have the iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved which was developer only. Now you will only need your iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs. The team is also working on porting Monte forward to iOS 4.3...

Ported Monte back to 4.1 kernel (SHSH blobs). Next step: porting it forward to 4.3beta!

MuscleNerd notes that the beauty of Monte is it doesn't expose any new exploits :) It makes the entire "wait until next FW" concern moot. Think of Monte as a "green" jailbreak. It recycles (for example) 4.1's exact JB exploit on 4.2.1 :) Waste no exploits.

We'll let you know when RedSn0w is updated with the new capabilities.

The Chronic Dev-Team is also packaging up an untether for iOS 4.2.1 that will not require SHSH Blobs.

Stay tuned for more information.
