Few days after iOS 5 official release to the public, the iPhone Dev Team updated their ultrasn0w unlock tool to 1.2.4 version to bring support for Apple’s new iOS 5.0.1 software update. However, on iOS 5.0.1 release, the team didn’t update their tool. That’s why some other hackers could make a “Fix for Ultrasn0w” on iOS 5.0.1.
In this guide I’ll show you how to unlock iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 using ultrasn0w. You’ll need a jailbroken device on iOS 5.0.1, you can follow our guide posted here to jailbreak iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS on iOS 5.0.1.
