iPhone 3.1.3 05.12.01 baseband unlock imminent, Sherif Hashim discovers exploit

Just a week after Apple released the iPhone 3.1.3 update, Sherif Hashim has discovered an exploit that could allow iPhone users to unlock their iPhone on the iPhone 3.1.3 firmware on baseband 05.12.01 and use it with other carriers like T-Mobile in the US, for example. We get these a lot, but no the iPhone can’t be unlocked to work with Verizon because Verizon operates on a CDMA network. Apple always updates the baseband with each update, causing many iPhone users to loose their unlock so this is good news for the iPhone users that had their baseband updated and lost their unlock.
For now, download iPhone toolbar (works on Windows/Mac on Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer browser) and you’ll receive an alert once the unlock is released, and instructions on how to install it.
The exploit Sherif Hashim uses has not been revealed yet, but iPhone Dev Team member MuscleNerd has confirmed that it works. The iPhone Dev Team will most likely wait for Apple to release the next generation iPhone 4G before releasing this unlock so that Apple does not patch the exploit before then. For now, all iPhone users that are unlocked/jailbroken are advised to be extremely cautious of future firmware updates and avoid updating before the jailbreak tools are updated.

calm down ppl…another week to go I guess!
maby maby not cause the new iphone 4.0 software releases tomorrow june 21 at 9am central time =) im waiting to update mine til they say its ok to update to the 4.0 software as is or if you need a modified 4.0 firmware that doesnt update the baseband for i will be selling my white 32 gb 3gs with it unlocked so i can get more out of it and its only a week old cause i had to get it replaced at the apple store for my old one wasnt restoring right.
i did by mistake update to 3.1.3 and baseband 05.12.01 now i no longer using my t-mobile :(
anyone know about his issue? plz help and let me know how to jailbreak and unlock it again !
Hi all, I am in the same locked out situation:-( caused by rushing into upgrade to 3.1.3 and stuck with modem firmware 05.12.01 which apparently will be “unlockable” untill apple releases OS 4.0
At least that is what I learned from reading through all comments on various sites.
Question of the day… when will that (release 4.0 and thus devteam release of unlock 3.1.3) be? This week, next week, next month????
All of u can kiss my a_ _! I didn’t update, my phone stopped working and I took it to Apple n when I got it back, it was updated. Not all ppl did this themselves. If any of u want to sell, go to Craigslist.org. If u sell b4, or right after the iPhone 4 drops, u’ll get $350-400 b4 it drops n $300 right after. Dumb a_ _es wanna belittle someone! If they were so smart they wouldn’t be buying from Apple, they’d own it…
finally…
can you please tell the exact date when it will be released bc i’m stuck with my locked apple iphone since months and am very curious to know when i can use it with any other carrier. ?????
can’t wait, thanks!
hi
were? show us!! how??
Iphone 3.1.3 Baseband 05-12-01 can be unlocked. Easy
I have a iPhone 3gs 3.1.3 05.12.01 came stock, piece of junk until Spirit Jailbreak(google) came along. But no unlock is possible, until yesterday, I’d used the same method(that didnt work before w/sim installed). Make sure ur phone is already j/b. Go in Cydia, search for Ultrasn0w, download it, then run it, BUT REMOVE any SIM you have installed, run Ultrasn0w w/out SIM. Reboot the phone, takes longer then used to, but then ur t-mobile should work, it worked for me since yesterday. Hope this help.
the os4 was all ready relesed then why the baseband 05.12.01 unocker is not?
Sherif Hashim i have unlock my iphone 3g thaks to you with spirit i have install repo 666 with ultrasnow and works fine!!!
Hi.I have jb my iphone 3G 3.1.3 firmware 05.12.01 with spirit and download ultrasn0w from cydia. I install ultrasn0w without the sim and after reboot I put the t-mobile sim but it still shows Locked SIM.
Anybody have any suggestion I should do to get this to work?
before install and run ultrasnow need to deactivate the 3g and then you can install ultrasnown for unlock you iphone when every is done you can activate the 3g and insert the new simcard good luck
