IMEI unlock for iPhone not available anymore!

New IMEI based unlock for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS?

Apparently something new is going on in the iPhone world. We are hearing from many different sources that some new kind of unlock is now available to iPhone users. It is supposedly a remote based unlock which works through your IMEI ( International Mobile Equipment Identity). IMEI is a number which is unique for your handset and is used by your network carrier to identify your iPhone as a valid device. It can also be used to blacklist the device if it gets stolen.

So far most of these reports have not been confirmed as safe. As you all know there are many fake websites selling ineffective and false unlock solutions and services.

We have all been quite unhappy when we heard about the last iPhone Dev Team announcement. The announcement was on the unlock for iPhone 4 with upgraded baseband. Dev Team members are still working on the unlock solution for this problem employing some new methods. One of the core embers of the iPhone Dev Team, MuscleNerd has said that the team is working on a brute force hack of the iPhone 4 and this should be finished by the end of next week.

iPhone 4 unlock not working yet with the UltraSn0w on iOS 4.2.1 and 4.3

Two months ago there were some reports that the Dev team will release an unlock for the iPhone 4 following the release of the 4.3 iOS for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. They thought that they will release it in fact a week or two after the 4.3 upgrade from Apple. So if you have focused your hope for the unlock only on this rumor we will have to disappoint you at this moment. The most recent version of the unlocking tool, the UltraSn0w unlock version 1.3 wont work for the iOS 4.3 on your iPhone nor will it work if you have an iPhone 4 with the 4.2.1 if the iPhone baseband version is 02.10.04 or 3.10.01.

Verizon iPhone 4 unlocked in China?

Is it possible to unlock the new Verizon iPhone? This question has stirred a lot of interest among experts and average users.
