Unlock iOS 5 With Ultrasn0w On iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS Coming Soon

by Ahmed Omar on October 12, 2011

Looking forward to unlock iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS running iOS 5? If so, MuscleNerd says that a new version of ultrasn0w unlock tool will be available for download sooner after iOS 5 is released.

Unlock iOS 5

You have to take in consideration that the upcoming ultrasn0w update is *NOT* a new unlock. It’s just updated for users whose iPhones are already unlocked on iOS 4.x.x. This is not an unlock for higher basebands.

Supported basebands in iOS 5 Unlock:

  • 01.59.00
  • 04.26.08
  • 05.11.07
  • 05.12.01
  • 05.13.04
  • 06.15.00

Stay tuned on CydiaHelp.com and follow me for full guides and download links.

UPDATE: Now iOS 5 is released, MuscleNerd has announced that Ultrasn0w update is coming tomorrow. Stay tuned.

  • Manoj 1622

    i have iphone 4g & it works with turbo sim in india.
    after updating with IOS 5 getting no sim error please send some help

  • btbias

    I’m running an iPhone 3GS with the iPad 06.15.00 BB. Every time I try to install/uninstall/reinstall ultrasn0w I get two errors:
    subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1
    Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    Does this have anything to do with the upcoming update to ultrasn0w? Or is there something I have to do to fix this? Thanks in advance!

  • JIG

    NOP U WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK IT! they are going to release a new update of ultrasnow which is compatible with ios5 and after that u will be able to unlock ur device. so just wait patiently!

  • Selliott171

    Ok Im a little confused, sorry if I sound stupid. So This update will not make it possible to unlock your Iphone? Your Iphone must have already been unlocked? Can someone explain a little better for me? Thanks

  • Carell

    Guys I Upgraded to ios5 baseband 06.15.00. I installed Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 and it did not work at all:
    After i rebooted the iphone I got signal and I actually received 2 sms BUTTTT my phone was still locked and showing “Please insert a valid SIM”. i could not get rid of that screen. So I decided to restore the phone (i do not know why i did it). NOT IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ANY SIM!NOT EVEN ITS ORIGINAL ONE WHICH USED TO WORK ! ! ! I get the “no sim error”.
    What should I do now???
    Pleaee let me knoooow!
    Thank you!

  • Affan

    after you’ve installed a new baseband you can’t go back. sorry dude :-

  • Carell

    I know I k know. But soon there will be the possibility to do it.
    I solved my problem yesterday by re-installing the baseband.
    Now my iphone is jailbroken and unlocked.
    I just cannot use the GPS :(
    i HOPE THE DOWNGRADE TO BASEBAND 05.13.04 will come soon.
    I really need the GPS

  • Carell

    MuscleNerd said:
    “there’s a special “trick” that iPhone3GS owners with baseband 06.15 need for iOS5. During the new setup screens you see when you start iOS5 for the first time, you’ll be asked about Location Services. Be sure to select “Disable Location Services” when asked! Later on in the setup, you’ll have the chance to turn on Location Services again when asked if you want to use “Find my iPhone”. It’s fine to turn it back on at that point, if that’s your desire (or you can always go in and enable it in Settings.app).”
    I tried to do what he said but my GPS does NOT work.
    Do you guys have any suggestions?
    Please let me knoooow.
    Thank you

  • Ron

    Ultrasn0w guys, you are awesome! One request, though… I purchased an iphone 4 off of Amazon, and it came installed with ios 5. Hence, I have the 4.11.08 baseband, and cannot unlock it. A lot of the blogs I see out here are really condescending (e.g., never use stock IPSW, you shouldn’t have upgraded, etc.) The thing is, if you buy a new iPhone 4, it will have a higher baseband, and this isn’t the user’s fault… more and more people will be stuck with this problem. Please develop a work-around for the latest baseband. If you do I’ll donate to the cause. Right now, I’m just stuck with an extremely expensive, thick iPod Touch.

  • Elpop_elshenawy

    Guys I Upgraded to ios5 baseband 04.11.08.and my phone was locked
    What should I do now???
    Pleaee let me knoooow!
    Thank you!

  • Andrea Carella

    mmm u can install the ipad baseband but you will lose the GPS!
    It is what i did with my 3gs. Now I am waiting to downgrade from 6.15 (ipad baseband) to 5.13.02.
    This will solve the GPS problem and it will keep the iphone unlocked.
    This hack should come any time soon now

  • Sabrewulf

    I got Baseband 05.16.05, so Unlock on my 3GS with IOS5 is impossible. Guys .. hope you will solve this Baseband in next version, maybe 1.2.5?

  • Ye_4810

    I HAVE JAILBROKENAND UPGRADED MI IPHONE 3GS BB 6.15.00 V. 4.2.1 TO IOS 5, BUT I DID NOT DESACTIVATES LOCATION SERVICES ON THE START UP, AND THEN I WENT TO CYDIA AND INSTALLED ULTRASNOW 1.2.4, BUT IT DOESNT WORK!!!! WHAT DO I DO???

  • Carell

    Just jailbreak your 3gs once again using the latest version of redsn0w (0.9.9b8). Remember to install again the ipad baseband.
    once the jailbreak is completed install the latest version of ultrasn0w.
    it should work

  • Ye_4810

    And this time i should not enable location services in the ser up right??

  • Carell

    you can enable the location services if you use the latest version of resn0w.
    but, just to be “more” sure, i would disable the location services and enable it again afterwards.

  • Dr Balavignesh

    Am using iPhone 4 with gevey sim unlocked iOS 4.3.5 (not jailbroken).. How can I jailbreak my device??

  • Extreme_wrench

    i just wanted to thank some of you guys on here, i have successfully jailbroke and unlocked my iphone 3gs ios 5 running on tmobile. I used snowbreeze to jailbreak and i used ultrasn0w to unlock, then went to boost mobile and had them activate a tmobile sim card then went into settings on phone and turned 3g off and wallah!!!! My iphone is up and running. thank you guys for some of the useful tips.

  • Jleder28

    When will ultrasn0w be able to unlock ios 5.0.1?

  • Aanicolas

    im running ios 5.0.1 and i had 5.0 unlocked and jb. i upgraded with itunes to 5.0.1 and my baseband still showed 6.15.00 so i jailbroke again and installed ultrasnow for the unlock. when i put my carrier sim card it says ‘invalid sim’ or ‘no service’ i have tried reinstalling the ios and rejailbreaking and reinstalling ultrasnow…. but still getting same results..

    does anyone kno whats going on?? =(

  • Carell

    you also have to re-install the ipad baseband

  • Jleder28

    There is no unlock for ios 5.0.1 yet as of today (17 Nov 2011), but I am in the same situation with my olt bootrom iphone 3gs. I am planning on waiting for the software upgrade/change to ultrasn0w to unlock 5.0.1 instead of downgrading again.

    So the answer is, you did everything right. Now you have to wait. Hopefully not too long.

  • Jleder28

    You can change your baseband to the iPad baseband 06.15.00 and keep ios 5.0. Then unlock again. It should work. Don’t upgrade to 5.0.1 yet though. No unlock yet.

  • Derp

    ITS DECEMBER ALREADY

  • Carell

    hey Derp. You can unlock iPhone 3Gs running ios 5.0 with ultrasn0w.
    You must have one of these baseband though:
    01.59.00
    04.26.08
    05.11.07
    05.12.01
    05.13.04
    06.15.00

    I had a different baseband but I used rredsn0w to change my baseband to 06.15.00 (CAREFUL, your GPS will not work anymore).

    NOW, I was wondering if ultrasn0w also works on ios 5.0.1.

  • Carell

    Guys, Do you know if ultrasn0w works on ios 5.0.1? I am on 5.0 right now and it works OK.
    Please let me know. Thank you

    Hey whats up musclenerd i thought that if u could try my way and see if it unlocks what i did was just installed everything ( all 4.x.x versions all 5.x.x versions tiny umbrella and all redsnow versions)i tried it restoring with all of the versions and it stucked and blacked out i pluged it in and when it turned on i didnt saw anything on top left corner and waited for an hour and when i was leaving my room i saw that it suddenly appeared signal bars instead of invalid sim .so could u plz check that it was just a glitch of phone or it can actually happen with others while they try my way
