At the iPhone hacks section.
The iPhone Dev-Team has announced that they plan to release an unlock for the iPhone 4 that supports basebands until 04.10.01 (4.3b3).

Current i4 unlock goal includes til 04.10.01 (4.3b3). Very weird situation...vuln cmds are there, trying to invoke them!

Interestingly, MuscleNerd notes that they may have found unlocks for the 05.14 and 05.15 3G/3GS basebands while searching for the iPhone 4 unlock.

Ironically, the i4 unlock search has yielded 05.14 & 05.15 unlock 3G/3GS vectors... but i4 is 1st priority

The iPhone Dev-Team has previously stated that the unlock won't be released until after 4.3 is public. Apple could release the new firmware as part of its iPad event on March 2nd.

Very interesting stuff.

If I'm reading this correctly, they've got something to unlock bb 2.10, but not 3.10?

Unless I am reading it wrong, they are working on unlock upto 4.10, which means it will include 2.10, 3.10 and 4.10.

That's what I made out too but not sure.
Figures if they got an exploit it should hopefully be there on the final 4.3 bb and basebands below from 4.1 and 4.2.1 is my guess.
Just gotta wait and see.
Good news though for the 3G and 3GS crowd also.
 
D'oh! I just realized that I was reading the original post wrong. For some reason, I was thinking iOS 4.10. Man, that'll teach me to drink and read MR simultaneously.:eek:

Here is the most current info we have for 2.10.xx and 3.10.xx
It appears the updated Ultrasn0w will unlock both of these

@VaMpYrE7 the one I found is working for both

As stated above in OP, the same vulnerable commands which cause the buffer overflow and allow the injection of unlock code are present in 4.10.xx, but it seems that the hackers have not yet completed the work with the 4.10.xx unlock.
 
I am currently on 4.1 with baseband 02.10. Does this mean i could technically upgrade to 4.2 which I understand would upgrade my baseband to 3.10 as well and still be safe for the unlock?
I have resisted the update for 4.2 but would not mind updating so I can get the Find My Iphone app for free, as well as a couple of other 4.2 only apps...

Just update using PwnageTool or sn0wbreeze to 4.2.1. If you depend on the unlock, don't rely on rumors, even from the dev-team.

The consensus is that the release is coming very soon, but if I relied on my phone to actually work, I would make damned sure the release was out, not just "coming soon"
 
Thanks for the info on Sn0wbreeze! I was not aware you could create custom firmware images using Windows as well...I was aware of PwnageTool but I dont have a mac. I will read into it and hopefully upgrade to 4.2 with it while keeping my BB.

Use snowbreeze at your own risk.
Its not as solid or bug free as pwnage.
Download a custom ipsw created with pwnage online if you can find one instead.
 
Thanks, yeah i was reading a bit on Sn0wbreeze and seems it's not as stable....I'll try to find a custom ipsw instead online, hopefully wont download some spyware crap instead.

spyware is nothing compared to a mislabeled Custom IPSW with an updated baseband... do not trust anything you haven't created yourself...
 
i noticed with Sn0wbreeze that you can create a custom 4.2.1 ipsw that isn't jailbroken but simply has the baseband upgrade removed. Not sure if this feature is available with PwnageTool since I don't have a mac.

I did this with my wife's 3GS then jailbroke it with GP and it works fine.

No, I dont think that's available with pwnage.
But why would you create a stock firmware without the bb update to then JB it with another program where you can do all that in one step.
And its not like you can unlock a phone without the JB beeing there.

That would mean that the jailbreak IS ready.

The jailbreak for 4.3 is ready, but this has nothing to do with that. They can unlock phones themselves that aren't jailbroken.

As you can recall, the unlock for iPhone 4 was created before comex released his JailbreakMe.
