Good good. I hope this is out Monday so I can get this phone sold. Am I reading this right - the 4.0 released Monday will be a different build than the GM? How do they know?
unless apple changed something very critical from the 3.1.3 firmware i don't see how 4.0 will be unlockable so fast
If it has been almost 5 months since 3.1.3 has been released and there still isn't an unlock for it i don't see how 4.0 will be unlockable right away.
Not saying it ain't gonna happen just pointing the obvious.. unless hackers withheld their unlock for 3.1.3 on purpose for apple to think that their security was safe (highly doubt it) i expect at least 3 - 6 months before the iphone 4 can be unlocked...
but i hope i'm wrong..

Wait is it saying, I can upgrade to iOS 4, pop in a tmobile sim card and activate, bypassing connect to iTunes screen? Or are you folks saying I can use a software unlocker to seamlessly unlock it.
I doubt you will see any new tools until after the iPhone 4 ships to customers, and probably not the same day. The DevTeam will need some time to run tests of the new unlock on the new iPhone 4.
Maybe within 3-5 days of iPhone 4 being sold/shipped.
I thought the dev team confirmed they had unlocked 3.1.3 ages ago but were holding it back due to 4.0
Sorry, but you are completely wrong.
The unlock for 3.1.3 and 4.0 basebands on 3G and 3GS is done, tested and working.
As far as if it will work on iPhone 4, that has yet to be determined, but the DevTeam is hopeful.
I guess we might see them for 3G/3GS pretty soon then
Man I'm glad Apple UK selling iPhone 4 unlocked, the last three years has been fun but stressful with the unlocks
I do not believe the Dev Team plans to release an unlock for the current 05.12.01 baseband even though the exploit they have works on 05.11.01. When they've completed their updates to Redsn0w and ultrasn0w they plan to advise everyone to upgrade to iOS 4.0 and the 05.13.04 baseband.
Depending on how soon they can complete that, they may first release a 3G-only version of Redsn0w and an updated version of PwnageTool for the 3G and old-bootrom 3GS.

I think they will release on the same day of either the iphone 4 or the release of iOS4, sherif_hashim has said two things either on the day of iOS4 or Iphone 4, I think the second one.
That's fine by me.
I want 4.0 on my phone anyways. Just hope it doesn't take too long for them to crack it.
What part of Musclenerd post did you not understand. He said no unlock for IOS4 5.13 baseband on 3g and 3gs.

No Unlock for iOS4, not for iPhone 3G, not for iPhone 3GS, maybe for iPhone 4 no ETA... it's so hard to understand ?
I am guessing the best we can hope for is an unlock for 3.1.3 and 5.12 baseband
Umm...where do you think you read this? Because it certainly wasn't on his Twitter account.
I can't seem to find that quote, smarty.
Edit: I hate newbies, even though I once was.

I'm guessing he's reading some fake twitter account. But we can't rule out the possibility that he's a troll.
More details about the unlock, according to this post it will be unlock for both 05.12 and 05.13 basebands!! Hope SO!

There is nothing in MuscleNerd's post that really suggests that 05.12 will be unlocked with the newest ultrasn0w. Unless you consider "yep" in response to a "when" question sufficient confirmation. He's made it clear elsewhere that they would be recommending everyone upgrade their baseband anyway.
he got sources of previous Muscle Nerd tweets about the unlock for 3.1.3 on BB 05.12 and Also check what the guy asked MuscleNerd from HERE
Go to the same iclarified site that starts this article then go to the comments and he posts there.
I read that already. You might consider that I may have read more than you on this topic. I still don't see anything MuscleNerd has said as incompatible with their releasing only a 5.13.04 unlock. They may release an unlock that will work with previous versions, but I don't think MuscleNerd has confirmed it.
Look mate I want an unlock for ios4 and 5.13 baseband as much as the next guy. I cut and paste exactly what I saw in the comments section and it had musclenerd Icon logo on the post. This is one of those situation where i hope it was some idiot that made the comment and just copied muslenerd signature.
I have better things to do than go around making this stuff up. The post has now been deleted so I am guessing it was flagged.
