How to Unlock the iPhone 4S Right Now

Hacker Loktar_Sun has discovered how to easily unlock your iPhone 4S—and any other iPhone. The unlock will free you from your carrier's tyranny, which is great news, especially while traveling or switching companies. We have tested it and it works.
You will only need a jailbroken iPhone. The rest is painless:
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure to have the latest iTunes. This process should be painless and easy but, like with every other unlock, proceed at your own risk.
Step 1

Go to Cydia and add repo.bingner.com as one of your app repositories. Search for Sam Bingner's SAM package and install it.
Step 2

Click on SAMPrefs icon.
Step 3

Go to utilities. Select De-Activate iPhone. Make sure your iPhone is deactivated under More Information.
Step 4

Click on By Country and Carrier in Method. Then select your carrier.
Step 5

Click on More Information again. Copy your IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) in SAM Details.
Step 6

Click on Spoof Real SIM to SAM.
Step 7

Go to the main SAM menu and change the Method to manual. Paste the IMSI in the field.
Step 8

Connect the iPhone to iTunes. It will reactivate your iPhone.
Step 9

Disconnect your iPhone when done and quit iTunes.
Step 10

Disable SAM in the SAMPrefs app.
Step 11

Connect your iPhone to the computer. iTunes will start up and tell you it can't activate the iPhone.
Step 12

Close iTunes and open it again.
Step 13

This time, iTunes will activate your iPhone and it will be unlocked! You will be able to turn off your phone and do whatever you want. The unlock will keep working, at least until Apple releases its usual countermeasures in a firmware update.
If your push notifications stop working, go to SAM again and click on Clear Push then connect to iTunes again.
I wish they had discovered this before I went on my last trip. It could have saved me so much money. Still, this is fun. It reminds me of the good old days of the mighty first unlock saga. [Weiphone via Singularity via Tony Kaye]

Absinthe 2.0 is out btw support iPad 1 to 3
iPhone 3GS to 4s and iPod 3+4

Ps for ios 5.1.1

[Pooky]

Yep, finally out. Updated and jailbroke my phone earlier, now time to play with it and try to figure out how Apple fucked with it. -.-;

[Ratatapa]

Is it going well? Currently jb on 5.0.1

[Oxyminus]

I'm about to JB my iPhone, on 5.1.1.

Only issue is Itunes says "can't use the iphone because mobile services have not started"

I last backed-up a week ago, so there's nothing i fear losing. But, for future reference, I don't know what's up with my telephono

[Oxyminus]

Okay, got that all sorted out.

Anyone have any recomendations for a good tethering app?

[Misterjingles]

I been using MyWi for the longest time. I paid for it so haven't really had any problems with it, especially when you can share the WiFi connection to other devices (very useful when you have can only have one approved device on your ITs outside DSL line but have multiple devices)

Additionally, does anyone know of an app or mod to increase the iPhone video record limit to beyond 50 minutes/4GBs?

[Oxyminus]

Thanks Jingles, I'll try that when I get home.

This has probably been asked time and time again but...

I finally jailbroke my iPad and was hoping there was a post somewhere recommending some really good apps for it... whether it be games or tools it doesn't matter (basically what people feel are "must-haves"). Ive been looking through the thread and only found about one or two post with few suggestions.

For starters:

iFile
BiteSMS
Springtomize
MXTube

[AvidLoki]

Thanks for those. iFile looks neat so im going to give it a try. However I couldnt find the other three in the app store. Are those all through Cydia?

[Vandole]

What's the best way to jailbreak now? I'm still running 4.0.1 on my jailbroken iphone 4. I figure it's time to get 5 so I can use spotify.

[Pro]

If you upgrade to 5.1.1, every device can be jailbroken by absinthe 2.0. You can download it @ www.greenpois0n.com

[vagus]

I use

shazam
Itranslate
WhatsApp
Installous
Words With Friends
UrbanSpoon
Tweetbot

Apologies in advance if i have dug up the wrong thread here. But i havnt been an Apple user since the iPhone 3GS when i would have been an avid Jailbreaker. I recently got an iPad Mini (thanks RBC ) and want to look at using it for the likes of Icefilms / XMBC etc. Anyone clued up on the latest / best ways for Jailbreaking etc. Typically able to follow steps/guides but realize there is always a risk and I dont want to void the warranty on it without a fairly sure way of being able to JailBreak. Thanks
