As the UltraSn0w 1.2.5 Unlock Released For iOS 5.0.1 support in tow for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS. So, how do you make it work?

Now, iDB was show you a tutorial that how to verify if you qualify for an unlock, and how to go about unlocking your iPhone with UltraSn0w 1.2.5…

Step 1: Make sure you have a qualifying baseband.

To check this go to Settings > General > About and check the “Modem Firmware” section at the bottom of the page. If you are on an iPhone 4 and the Modem Firmware says 01.59.00, you can unlock. If you are on an iPhone 3GS and your firmware is any of the following: 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04, or 06.15.00 you can unlock.

If your baseband doesn’t meet the above requirements, stop here. You are not eligible for unlock. iPhone 4S is currently not unlockable.

Step 2: If you haven’t already, upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 and preserve your baseband when doing so.

Step 3: Jailbreak your iPhone 5.0.1.

Step 4: Go to Cydia and search for “UltraSn0w”. Install UltraSn0w 1.2.5.

Step 5: Remove your old SIM card and replace with new SIM card e.g. a T-Mobile SIM. You may need to cut your SIM to fit the micro-SIM slot. See the video for more details.

Step 6: Give your iPhone a few seconds, and it should now be on the new network, courtesy of the UltraSn0w 1.2.5 iOS 5.0.1 unlock.

Unless you got an iPhone 4 at launch and you were very careful to preserve it all of this time, it’s fairly unlikely that your baseband still qualifies.

It has now been over 2 months since Apple released iOS 5, and we still don’t have a working untethered jailbreak. The company has obviously made things a little more complicated for hackers. But, an infamous hacker pod2g continues to prove. The security expert has just uploaded a new video of an untethered jailbreak running on an iPhone 4, and has given a status update on its progress…

From pod2g’s blog post:

“Here is a new video demo of the current status of the iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak running on an iPhone 4. This is meant to reassure people that were thinking it only works on older iPods. The jailbreak is near ready for prime time (excluding 4S and iPad 2). Patches are the same as redsn0w’s. Expect the same level of stability. Some more days to wait. Be patient, we’re doing our best.”

Unless you are looking to jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2, this is great news.

The iPhone Dev-Team just released the newest version of Ultrasn0w, which is now version 1.2.5. The latest version of UltraSn0w has made its way to Cydia, and it supports the latest publicly available iPhone firmware, iOS 5.0.1.

You will still need an unlockable baseband to utilize ultrasn0w, but if you meet the requirements, it is now possible to unlock your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1…

You will need a jailbroken device to utilize UltraSn0w 1.2.5. Your baseband must also meet the following requirements:

iPhone 4: baseband 01.59.00
iPhone 3GS: basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04, 06.15.00

In addition to that, it only supports iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. Since the iPhone 4S has yet to be jailbroken, using Ultrasn0w on the device is simply not possible.

Are you running an unlocked iPhone using UltraSn0w?

Users of Microsoft’s popular cloud storage service SkyDrive will be happy to hear that Microsoft has finally brought an official client to the iOS platform.

Microsoft has been on a bit of a roll over the past week, releasing multiple iOS applications, including an official Xbox Live app and the lovable Kinectimals game. Now onto the SkyDrive app…

“SkyDrive from Microsoft is the place to store your files so you can access them from virtually any device. With SkyDrive for the iPhone, you can now easily access, manage and share files on the go. You can also upload photos or videos from your iPhone to SkyDrive.”

SkyDrive is actually a viable alternative to the other popular cloud storage services. It provides users with a staggering 25GB of free space (compared to just 5GB from iCloud) and can be accessed by phone, computer, and even the company’s Xbox 360 console.

If you want to check out the SkyDrive for iPhone app, you can download it for free from the App Store.

For the iPhone 4S hopefuls that doesn’t want to be tied with telco contract plans, you can now purchase it directly from Apple and have it shipped direct to you.

The RRP listed on Apple store is lower than the telcos with pricing as follows:

iPhone 4S 16GB – RM2199
iPhone 4S 32GB – RM2499
iPhone 4S 64GB – RM2799

You would have noticed that Apple Online store is selling the iPhone 4S 32GB & 64GB cheaper than the telco’s RRP of RM2590 and RM2890 respectively. After all, RRP is merely a “recommended retail price”. Delivery is written as 1-2 weeks and it is limited to 2 per customer.
