How To Unlock iPhone 4S(GSM) Without jailbreak (USING SIM CARD BUG).
Do you like this story?
Update: Further reports on this suggest that it only works with AT&T devices. Furthermore, when you insert a working AT&T SIM, you have to go back through the unlock process, so this isn’t permanent.
Alright, this is a very fast guide to unlock a 4S without a jailbreak. It works via a bug that bypasses activation, simply by entering SIM cards. Note that this is reported as working, but we haven’t tested ourselves! But you can be sure that we’ll remove it if we can verify that it’s not working! Please also be aware that future iOS updates could break this, and restoring could mean it has to be redone. Unless the device is actually factory unlocked via this method, then be vigilant.
Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Insert original carrier AT&T SIM card (or a supported SIM card. International users should use their corresponding carriers for this guide. However, ONLY the specified method here is known working).
Step 2: Dial 611 for AT&T customer service hotline and drop the call
Step 3: Turn on Airplane Mode
Step 4: Take out your AT&T SIM card
Step 5: Insert T-Mobile SIM card
Step 6: Make sure WiFi is switched off ( also tap on ‘Forget this Network” to make sure it doesn’t connect automatically later to your usual one)
Step 7: Switch off Airplane Mode and iPhone will search for network. This is followed by the Apple splash screen appearing.
Step 8: Activation Required will now be displayed on the screen
Step 9: The EDGE network will activate automatically – notice that the ‘E’ on the top left corner of the screen will appear
Step 10: Wait for about 20-30 seconds and turn off your phone
Step 11: Turn on your iPhone and the same Activation Required screen will be displayed again
Step 12: When you see the one signal bar, tap on Use Cellular Connection
Step 12: Eject your SIM card
Step 13: Activation Required screen will be displayed
the second time
the second time
Step 14: Insert SIM card again. If you don’t see T-Mobile as activated in the top corner, repeat steps 12-14.
Step 15: Congratulations, your iPhone 4S should now be unlocked!
