At&T 5.0.1 Jailbroken Unlocked. Can I unlock without restore help pls?

[navigates]

I just got my iphone 4 5.0.1 jailbroken without any keys unlocked with the AT&T Rep. Is it possible to get the phone unlocked without the restore option.

With restore I will loose my jailbreak; I heard there is a way to do this with SAM etc.

I think the process is called hactivate but I do not know if you can download it from Cydia, keep searching on these forums & I'm sure you'll find the answer.

If you restore, you will 100% guarantee loose your JB and be upgraded to 5.1.1.

I've tried this on a PC. Deactivate gets stuck for 10 minutes. I'll try it on my mac redsn0w. will revert back with findings.

I'm trying this on my mac and the commands look different from the PC but it is still stuck.

Mac as well takes about 20 minutes and aborts and the phone starts up with AT&T without itunes. Is there another way to deactivate. Really appreciate anyone's help. I read somewhere on this forum that someone used SAM to deactivate. Don't know what he was talking about.

Is there a deactivation process in Cydia?

Worked Like a charm

Installed SAM using the link below.

and then restarted the phone and the phone started with No Service.
Connected to itunes and got 'Congratulations your iphone has been unlocked.

Hope this helps someone.
