sorry i didnt see this one first and i got really excited i check his twitter every 10 min
can a mod please erase the other thread ?
update to 5.0.1 via OTA guys...so you have chance of unlock if you want. via itunes will give you an updated baseband.
Interesting.
So the OTA update doesnt update the baseband? The restore/update from Itunes only does?
Sweet, thanks.
Not like I need it though since my 4S is factory unlocked but good to know.
Thats not confirmed. He is only confirmed to have been messing around with the first baseband on iOS 5 (1.0.11).
It is only suspected that he would be trying his luck with .13 as well.
i actually remember seeing this as true from a dev team blog comment...but i cant remember...so i guess its not really confirmed. maybe dhlizard can put some wisdom on us.
My guess is that if the particlar exploit used on the 1.0.11 initial bb version isnt revealed to Apple most likelly its still there on the later updates as well.
But you never know, maybe just wishfull thinking

i kept my 4s on 5.0 because it said to all over the forum, now i should update to 5.0.1 in preparation for next weeks jailbreaking release? thanks

Yeah. These guys are so tight lipped that its hard to draw conclusions.
But since unlocking requires a jailbreak, and the jailbreak is going to be for 5.0.1, you would assume Musclenerd would be working on cracking that baseband.
Guys im still confused.
Unlock is the preference for my 4S on 5.0(9A334), Modem Firmware 1.0.11.
What should i do?
Think about it this way..
You can't unlock without the jailbreak. So you are either going to a) jailbreak and lose the ability to unlock, or b) wait without either, until the jailbreak gets backported to 5.0, if at all. So you'll be without either by staying with 5.0 while waiting for a proper jailbreak for that, or upgrading.
BL.
Thanks for the suggestion.
But, Finally MuscleNerd has replied and ill be doing what he is doing.![:)]( "Smile :)")

Thx for the update! Guess I won't be updating to 5.01 either.
Agreed. I really think it's bad to rely on jailbreaking for a software unlock after the first basebands in the original iPhone 4.
Damnit. How can he be working on an unlock without a jailbreak?
If there is no unlock exploit already found/reported to Apple, why wouldn't he be working on the most recent baseband?
I don't need the unlock, but I do want it when I go to resell. If the 4S is anything like the 4, I'll have to buy a Gevey Sim and package it when it comes time to sell.

MuscleNerd jailbroke his 4S manually some time ago. But he said implied it was a messy method and not suitable for implementation as a public jailbreak tool. He also did not say whether it was tethered or not.
