iPhone 3.1.3 firmware unlock coming soon
  • 80 Comments
by John Biggs on February 11, 2010


Been waiting to upgrade your iPhone? Can’t because it’s unlocked? Well, wait no longer. Sherif Hashim, an iPhone hacker, has discovered an exploit that seems to unlock the latest baseband. Not a lot of other information other than now the exploit is in the Dev Team’s hands and they will, like some creaky Soviet politburo, release the unlock to the masses.

NB. This will unlock the iPhone for use on T-Mobile and foreign GSM networks. This does not mean you’ll be able to use it on Sprint or Verizon, so don’t ask.

  • Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at- Agemingle @ c o m a nice and free site for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.

  • this is great news for iphone owners…quicker to find an exploit then other firmware update 3.1.2.

    Ive moved from iphone to android, and ive been jailbreaking my iphones for sometime now! so this unlock will come in handy for my friends who have an iphone n want it unlocked

    great post

  • 2g or 3g and up? I thought I read that Apple doesnt care about the 2g anymore as far as basebands.

  • Wow…you iPhone hackers are so quick at it. How long has is been since the last update?

    Amazing. Anyways, great news for all iPhone users in this case. I’ve actually tried jailbreaking before, but somehow, I got to the bit where you had to make a dial or sth. and got stuck?

    Thanks, guys!

  • No way they will release this. There is nothing wrong with the current unlock and if you upgrade via PwnageTool you don’t lose your unlock.

    What they will likely do is keep this unlock to themselves in hopes that Apple won’t find it and they will be able to unlock at 4.0 and beyond.

  • I’m curious as to when MobileCrunch (and TechCrunch in general) will start publishing articles detailing efforts to pirating copies of MS Office or OS X or Windows 7? I would think that a respectable technology news network would treat pirating/hacking as the scorn it is, and not celebrate it like they do.

    Start your flamethrowers, apologists.

    • @ Krugeri
      My dear fellow, unlocking a iphone has nothing to do with piracy! Get your facts straight. As with any other trade, it can be used in a god or negative way. Besides, some of us just like to fidle with things, and not just make ignorant comments…

      • @Armand
        My dear fellow, you are insane. It is against Apple’s terms of service and the DMCA. Hence the reason updates keep ‘breaking’ — or in actuality unbreaking — unlocked iPhones. Part of the copyright code, Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, makes it illegal to break digital locks to get at copyrighted works. Unlocking an iPhone consists of installing software that specifically uses reverse engineering to develop a way to override digital protections placed in copyrighted code built into the iPhone.

        You can justify it all you like by whatever method you wish but it is illegal, the degree of which is arguable. Just because you like to fidle (sic) with things doesn’t make it okay.

        How’s that for an ignorant comment?

        • Yeah and local news sites should stop reporting on murders and robberies.

        • Actually JAILBREAKING would allow you to circumvent copyright protections; but the principle of UNLOCKING a ‘phone (for which you have paid) is supported by law.

        • @Mitch – News sites report murders and robberies they don’t promote them. Your analogy is weak.

          @Al Frinkel – The phone you own, the software on it remains the property of the copyright holder, Apple. The DMCA is clear about the protections provided to copyright holders.

        • Yeah, no one cares bro. No go kill yourself :)

        • Yeah, no one cares bro. Now go kill yourself :)

        • @ Al
          “the principle of UNLOCKING a ‘phone (for which you have paid) is supported by law.”

          Can you please post that actual law?

          Now please note, to my belief, this can not apply to non GSM carriers such as Verizon or Sprint. The phones simply will not work in these band and format. Note VZW and Sprint use CDMA and GSM uses TDMA.

          On a related note: When is the FCC going to mandate that the phone manufactures i.e. Apple, Blackberry (whose actual name escapes me) can not stay loyal to one carrier and has to provide phones across the board. When Verizon and Sprint get the iPhone, AT&T will cease to exist because the only thing keeping them in the market is the iPhone.

        • Actually, you’ll find that the DCMA has a clause allowing you to circumvent protections for PERSONAL use. So, you can unlocked your own phone using this software, you can’t however go into business unlocking other people’s phones. Just like you can remove the DRM on an MP3 to make it work on your mp3 player, but can’t remove it and then share the file with the world.

  • Why the dig at the Dev Team? They release high-quality tools. I was able to jailbreak my 3.1.3 ‘phone using their Pwnage 3.1.5 tool. Smooth as silk (although I did have to restore to 3.1.2).

  • it’s been out since monday for the mac. iphone dev team did it already. not real news though unless you’re a windows user.

  • ignorant i phone slaves
    wtf is this
    it is my phone u losers
    i can do anything i want with it
    booooooooooooooooo
    switch over to android for a change in u ur dictated lifestyle

  • apple are shit i cannot use my phonenow its locked, I hate apple and will never buy their shit again.

    • HI Apple Hater. I am likely to agree with you. Up to 2008 I was pro PC and anti Mac. Then I got the iPhone and Microsoft came out with Vista. I bought a POS computer with Vista and in two weeks I returned it for one with XP, which I still use to this day. I am due for a new laptop at the end of the year. I was going to buy a mac but due to apples loyalty to AT&T I think I am going to buy another Vaio. I think Apple should realize that they are going to loose business across the board (phones, computers, etc.) with their loyalty to AT&T.
      On a related note: When is the FCC going to mandate that the phone manufactures i.e. Apple, Blackberry (whose actual name escapes me) can not stay loyal to one carrier and has to provide phones across the board. When Verizon and Sprint get the iPhone, AT&T will cease to exist because the only thing keeping them in the market is the iPhone.

  • I’ve updated accidentally my Iphone 3G to latest firmware and baseband, I bought the phone from another GSM network so right now I’m stuck, lost everything …unlock jailbreak …PLEASE release the crack …:((

    RIM(Blackberry) phones are carried by most major cellphone service companies around the world. The Blackberry is the most sold phone on the market. Companies that do not sell BLackberry’s generally are either small companies or companies that resell the larger cell companies service under a different name.

    Apple sells the Iphone across the globe. If VZW and the other companies were not CDMA they would most likely be carrying the Iphone after the CONTRACT between AT&T and Apple expires.
    But as you have stated already they run a different technology then GSM.

    Which leads to the point of, why would Apple create a version of the Iphone which would only be used on a small fraction of the total market in which they are involved in? Because its simply not cost effective.

  • I’ve updated accidentally my Iphone 3G to latest firmware and baseband, I bought the phone from another GSM network so right now I’m stuck, lost everything …unlock jailbreak …pls i need crack

    • yes it will be out the 27th of this month at 8:05 not sure if its am or pm but it doesnt matter thats when it will be out

  • Glad to see im not the onyl one with a iphone turned Itouch……:)

    thank god i have two phones

    ps my blackberry bold is way better…iphone is just a cool looking toy

    • haha wow do u really believe ur phone is better then an iphone 3g?? the blackberry bold sucks dick i have 3 friends who own one nd say it is glitchy nd slow. atleast with iphone! there are a lot of other programs that are compatible with itunes unlike ur shitty blackberry bold. if u dnt like iphone den stick wit ur shit nd get off this blogg page

  • This is so dumb. Why don’t they release this program, because u can bet, Apple already knows they have it. And besides the phone is no longer going to be strikely for AT&T. so these jackass that say they have the unlock for it, which they probably don’t have it completely figured out, will get beat to the market by some lone hacker. And to Armar, the one who says it’s illegal to unlock iphone, go back and read federal laws on copy right, only illegal if you use it for PROFIT. There are to many dumbass out there, it’s a wounder anything gets done.

  • If anybody wants to get an AV cable for his/her iPhone 3G/3GS 3.1.3, pls logo on our website. It’s cheap and absolute original chip which supports version updation.

  • is it true?
    or these guys r gonna wait till the 4.0 is released?

  • 3.1.3 unlock is not still released, is there any improvement about it? waiting so long.
