Now there is a possibility of “almost” official unlock Iphone4 from any operator (including AT & T)
Yesterday evening, messages appeared on Twitter and on “profile” sites with the suggestion of “remote unlock” of iPhones-4 with any version of firmware. For the service in all cases ask for an amount of about $ 175-200. People who are professionally engaged in repairing mobile phones confirm that unlocking actually occurs after payment, i.e. this is not a hoax.
Then I will try, using my knowledge on the topic, to answer a few obvious questions.
0. This is a valid way to unlock any iPhones4 with
any firmware version?
YES.
')
1. HOW?
Very simple! Apple also has live people, and they also want to eat. The fact is that every time the firmware is updated or restored (when the iPhone requests to connect it to the computer)
there is a "verification" with the Apple server for blocking this particular iPhone under some operator. In some countries, iPhones are sold locked up, but the operator may, for a fee, or
If certain conditions are fulfilled (for example, when a 2-year contract is completed), at the request of the subscriber, unlock the iPhone. To do this, the operator sends a request to Apple, and Apple marks the phone in its database as unlocked and the next time it is connected to the computer, it sends a unique code ( Activation Token ), which Itunes automatically enters into the phone. The problem was that AT & T (an American operator serving iPhones) under no circumstances wants to send unlock requests, and experience (including the experience of courts in America) shows that it is unrealistic to force them to do so.
2. And yet how?
Very simple! Just someone at Apple, having the ability to enter data into the base of blocked / unlocked phones, decided to illegally use this opportunity for personal enrichment. This practice has been around for quite a while for other handset manufacturers (for example, Nokia BB5), and for Apple, with the exception of AT & T.
3. Unlocking will always be possible - would there be money?
Most likely NO. Most likely, Apple will very quickly calculate the corrupt employee and the shop will close. Although, who knows ...
4. Is this unlocking forever? After it can be easily updated to any new version?
Most likely NO. Since the iPhone requests an unlock key every time it is updated / restored, Apple can simply send a WildcardTicket after it finds the employee at fault and finds out the list
illegally unlocked phones. Musclenerd warns of this possibility.
5. Is there a risk that by paying money you will get nothing?
YES. As always in such cases.
