Though unlock for iPhone 4 jailbreak is still not released, but Gevey unlock SIM card is claiming to unlock iPhone 4 basebands 03.10.01 and 02.10.04 running iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2.1. The Gevey SIM is paper thin leaf, which is placed under the original SIM and inserted in the iPhone 4 jailbreak.The soldered wiring allows unlock of the iPhone by creating a "suitable" SIM card is played for the iPhone. Check the video after a break!
Basically, Turbo SIM spoofs theIMSInumber and authentication key (Ki) supplied by the SIM card to the network, allowing locked phones to be used on any mobile network with which they are technically compatible. it copies the information from your AT&T SIM card and then the SIM to carrier of your choice. This allows the Turbo SIM to append on your carrier SIM, and apparently gives you full calling, SMS capabilities.
Gevey SIM was introduced at the time of iPhone 3G unlock but there were data network issues reported. In the latest version they claim to be resolving those errors.
Back in 2007, an Australian iPhone 4 Jailbreak hacker ozbimmer managed to unlocked iPhone using TurboSIM successfullyand made his iPhone work on the Telstra network. After few months, in 2008, Geohot developed the freesoftware unlock for the iPhone's then Bootloader Version 4.6. since then, most of theiPhoneusers rely on Geohot or iPhone Dev team for unlocking it.
Appelnberry has confirmed that Gevey SIM works and will be available from March 18 or 21 to all countires except China. The Gevey 3G Turbo Sim cards are available only in China and not available in European or American markets.
Yes it WORKS. The website to buy GEVEY SIM isapplenberry.com on March 18 or 21. we will ship to all country except China. it is currently also available on ebay.
However, the hackers have not yet confirmed it to be a fake. Musclenerd from Dev Team when asked about Gevey SIM did not deny it completely, but said that the exploit they have used cannot be used by Dev Team. he even replied to users when asked about Gevey SIM's credibility:
Question: have u seen Gevey sim to iphone 4 unlock?
Answer : sim carrier cards have a long/mixed history with iPhone (often hit&miss), so it's too early to tell. I have 3 or 4 older ones. For reference though, google: Turbo SIM.In its day, that was a nice programmable SIM interposer board.
Question: a lot of UL victim is going to pay for that TurboSim if u can not give a clue be4 weekend and we have no idea if it ll damage
Answer: back during the iPhone2G SIM interposer days, they never did damage (they were just always hit & miss)
Question: so u mean the gevey sim may work or may not? on what criteria does the hit & miss depends?
Answer: unlike software unlocks, SIM interposer can take advantage of bugs in SIM Toolkit (STK).Too early to tell if this does that.
Question: so it's less likely you guys can make a SW unlock using the trick that gevey uses? (of course if we assume gevey works.)
Answer: right.hardware SIM interposers can't use any bugs that we can, and we can't use any bugs they can.
( similarly, there are known bugs that could unlock your i4 if you had an OpenBTS setup. all 3 of these interfaces to the BB have different (exploitable?) bugs: AT /dev interface, SIM (STK), cell network (OpenBTS)
right . Hardware SIM interposer can not use any bugs that we can, and we can not use any bugs they can
veeence has also answers some of the doubts related to the authenticity of the Gevey SIM but me mentioned that he has no idea how this Savay SIM works.
This Gevey SIM seems to work via TMSI spoofing through emergency calling (112).I'm not quite sure if this legal in other countries than China.
But older TurboSIM's Seemed to work like this as well; spoof info (dial 112) and then abruptly switch back to true TMSI to connect to cell.
Though we are not sure whether it will really iphone 4 unlock. but if you plan to buy it just keep it mind it works for only baseband 02.10.04 and 03:10.01 and not for new iPhone 4 baseband on iOS 4.3 as stated on Gevey's portal. it is adviabel to wait some more time as there is an update expected on free unlock by Dev Team by till weekend.
