hey could you help me choose the right gevey sim card to buy for my iphone 4 5.1.1 with 4.10.01 baseband to be able to unlock with tmobile because im so confused on ebay to choose which one is right for my iphone.
thanks

They all will work on iPhone 4 with preserved baseband using the 112 method. If you want the automatic unlock with Cydia, then spring for one of the Geveys in the hard package. Some require corner cutting where the black Gevey chip is to make room for the rest of your SIM card, so check the auctions for "No Cut." The ones in the hard package are more stable in that they don't drain battery more than 1% per hour. The others usually drain battery 2-3% per hour while idling. This one is pretty good, but you might need to jailbreak unless you're very fast after you dial 112 and push End. Usually, you have to double tap the Home Button to open the Phone app in the taskbar right before you push End Call in order to toggle Airplane Mode to On, wait for No SIM Card Installed, and then toggle Off. If No SIM Card Installed appears before you reach Airplane Mode, you need to restart the 112 process.

Your Gevey is a dud. It's supposed to come up within 1 minute of powering on.

how can i unlock iphone 4 baseband 5.1.1 please anyone suggest me

You need to pay about $50 for an IMEI unlock. There are various people that do that on this site and require payments via PayPal.

Gevey Sim works on iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 with Preserved Baseband
You can also use Gevey Ultra & install FuriousMod 2.1 for untethered unlock. Add repo h**://cydia.furiousmod.com to install FuriousMod 2.1 iphone 5 and 5.1.1.


If i have a iphone 4 with preserved bb 03.10.01 it will work with the gevey unlock?

Rocky Raccoon is just the untether. Once you see the Accept or Cancel dialog for the manual process, you need to wait for the switchover from "Searching..." to "No Service." At that point dial 112 and push End. I have one where "No SIM Card installed" pops up in about 5 seconds after pushing End, so I need to double tap the Home button and as soon as Ending Call switches to Call Ended, I hit the settings and enable Airplane Mode. A second later, "No SIM Card Installed" pops up, so I just slide Airplane Mode Off and wait for activation. The main problem is it's not untethered, but it's not an issue if I'm just using it for myself. There's also the ultrasn0wcn one, but it doesn't work for Gevey Ultra if you get the "No SIM Card Installed" message right away. Also, it does the 112 Airplane Mode dialing in the background every time you restart.

Hello! Just some questions as the stated text above isnt 100% clear for me. (Maybe because im German :eek:)
So:
I am doing everything just like you BUT after "No Sim Card Installed" pops up and I slide Airplane Mode off there is no real activation...
It stucks "searching" and then goes to "No service".
I am trying to call 112 one more time but a message pops up saying "No Service".

Someone maybe got a solution there? On 4.3.3 everything worked fine but I didnt save the SHSH blobs...

A bit off topic, but i have seen Gevey sims on ebay at a decent price. Is it safe to buy there? Or is it possible they are fakes (I have read that somewhere previously)

Sell it and get an unlocked phone.

Dont think there will be a gevey card for that baseband.
Changing the logicboard is the best thing you can do, or just buy an unlocked phone :cool:

Changing the logic board is the worst thing he can do. He'd inevitably damage a part with no experience working with small parts. Plus, the cost would be about $200. Just buy an IMEI unlock code for $50-$70. They sell them on eBay for around there.

IMEI unlock is from Apple and doesn't need Gevey SIM.

A Gevey sim will never unlock your baseband.
Your only option is an IMEI unlock

You can upgrade but preserve your baseband, make a No_BB IPSW using Redsn0w, phone in pwnedDFU using Redsn0w, host file pointed to Apple, navigate with iTunes to your IPSW.

iClarified.com has tutorials about how to use a No_BB IPSW

Hi there!

I have an iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.3 BB 04.10.01 already unlocked with the gevey ultra.

I'm trying to upgrade my iPhone to iOS 5.0.1 or 5.1 or 5.1.1, but it's not working. I put my iPhone on pwnd dfu mode with redsnow, and tried to restore, I've got the error 3194 and the error 1600 on iTunes, I've tried edit the hosts by myself, TinyUmbrella(the option "set hosts to..." was greyed out), different computers and OS, but nothing, I'm stuck with those errors.

I know it's not much related to gevey sim, but I'm just desperate. Hehehehe :)

Thank you!
