Yesterday we told you that MuscleNerd pointed out a Chinese hacker Loktar_Sun managed to manipulate SAM (Subscriber Artificial Module) to unlock any model of the iPhone on any baseband. This is some very big news because we have not seen a new software unlocking solution that adds support for all basebands and all models of the iPhone for a very long time. For those of you who are interested in unlocking your iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S (CDMA + GSM) on any firmware above iOS 5.0 and also any baseband version you will be glad to know in this how to guide you will learn how to do just this.
Before you start however, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First of all you need to make sure that you have Jailbroken iPhone that has not been listed on any IMEI blacklists. Secondly, you will need to ensure you have the latest version of iTunes and also know which carrier your iPhone is locked to. Finally, please keep in mind that this process only applies to the SIM card you carry it out on. This means if you have another SIM card you wish to use on your unlocked iPhone you will need to repeat this process.
Unlock Jailbroken iPhone On Any Baseband
Step 1) – The first thing you will need to do is open up Cydia on your iPhone and add a 3rd party repository from the developer who created SAM. With Cydia open go into the Manage tab, followed by the Sources section, and then tap the Edit button proceeded by the Add button and type in the following URL:
Note: Be patient when adding the repo shown above. It is currently under a lot of stress, and it took me about 10 minutes before Cydia was able to process the repo properly.
Step 2) – Once the repo shown above has been added you will need to go into the sources page by simply tapping on it from the list of installed source and then find the SAM package.
When you see SAM you will need to install it to your iPhone.
WARNING: Make sure the SIM card you would like to use on your unlocked iPhone is inserted before moving on.
Step 3) – With SAM installed you will now need to open the utility by tapping the SAMPrefs icon on your SpringBoard (homescreen).
Step 4) – Go into the Utilities tab and then tap on the De-Activate iPhone option. In order to double check that your iPhone is truly de-activated return to the main settings menu and go into the More Information tab. Look at the ActivationState label and it should display as Unactivated.
Step 5) – Now go back to the main settings pane once again, and then into the Method tab where you will need to select the By Country and Carrier option. You will then need to select the Country you are going to be using your iPhone in and then your actual Carrier. Please keep in mind that for some carriers with more than one network ID you will need to select the SIM ID option instead of selecting your carrier’s name.
Step 6) – After you have selected your carrier that you wish to use your unlocked iPhone with go into the More Information tab once again and copy the IMSI number that is present in the SAM Details section
Step 7) – With the IMSI number copied down somewhere safe you will need to click the Spoof Real SIM to SAM button.
Step 8 ) – When you have pushed the Spoof Real SIM to SAM button you will need to once again go back to the main screen, find your way to the Method tab and select the Manual option. Upon selecting the Manual option and returning to the main screen you will notice an IMSI input field. Paste the IMSI number you copied in step 6 now.
Step 9) – Grab your iPhone’s USB cable and connect it to your computer so that you can use iTunes to re-activate your iPhone. When iTunes has finished re-activating your iPhone you will need to double click the Phone Number label found in the details pane and ensure the ICCID matches that found on the SIM Card. Unfortunately if the numbers do not match you will need to restart the process from the beginning.
Step 10) – As long as the ICCID numbers do match you will need to unplug your iPhone, go back into SAMPrefs and disable SAM by sliding the Enabled button to the off position. Finally re-connect your iPhone to iTunes and do not be worried if any error messages pop up alerting you that your iPhone cannot be activated. Simply ignore these messages and restart iTunes a few times.
Step 11) – After a few minutes you should notice signal bars on your iPhone. This means the process has been successful and you now have an unlocked iPhone with the SIM card of your choice. One last thing to keep in mind however, is that if you notice push notifications are not working you can simply select the Clear Push option found in SAM, followed by once again re-connecting your iPhone to iTunes.
For all of those that have successfully unlocked their iPhone following this How To guide please keep in mind that this process only works with the SIM card used during the unlocking process. If you would like to use multiple SIM cards on your unlocked iPhone then you will need to repeat the process on the other SIM cards. Additionally, it is also recommended that you manually save the activation ticket generated that allows you to use your iPhone unlocked as it could be crucial in the future to preserve your unlock.
Manually Save Activation Ticket
Step 1) – An unlock ticket will be generated after you successfully follow steps 1 – 10 outlined previously.
Step 2) – Use an SSH program to access your iPhone’s filesystem (WinSCP Windows or Cyberduck Mac OS X). You can of course also use something like iFile on your actual iPhone.
Step 3) – Navigate to the following directory:
/var/Root/ibrary/Lockdown
Once you are in the directory shown above you will need to copy the contents of the directory for each SIM card you unlock your iPhone with.
Congratulations! You should now have an unlocked iPhone with the SIM card of your choice, with its activation ticket backed up. Please leave any additional questions or thoughts in the comments section below….

Does this solve the network related issue of baseband 6.15.00?
Probably not no, since this is only spoofing, and not actually unlocking it.
has anyone try this?pls comment..tnx
i did and i fucked my iphone 4 i prefer applenberry sure stuffs cause for this shit now i restored my iphone
The problems with the 6.15.00 baseband are never going to be fixed. I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to understand? AT&T has unlocked OVER 75,000 iPhones in the last few weeks. Nobody cares about phones stuck on the iPad baseband anymore because there is no need for them. Sell the thing for whatever you can get for (likely not much) and buy an IMEI unlocked phone with none of the problems.
Wow finally I got my iPhone locked !
I cant Lock my Iphone, It say ‘The Simcard Inserted in this iphone does Not appear to be supported” :(
Just worked for me and it’s pretty simple. Thanks
Yes MuscleNerd has mentioned this method with work with the 06.15.00 baseband. I am not sure if it will fix the network related issues though.
My Sim Card is Activated!! Why…..
worked with 06.15.00
Is all this true or is false like all the others videos.
same here… and i dont know whats the problem… i thought we can unlock…
In step five above….when you speak of choosing the actual carrier…..are you speaking of who I have a contract with or the carrier I want to unlock to (such as t-mobile)? Thank you……..wmuhamma@gmail.com
Maybe you want to provide more simplified instructions for the simple fact that some people are not technologically informed. For example; in step five above it is stated to choose your carrier…some people would choose at&t if that,s who they are with now…but does it mean another carrier like t-mobile. etc. simplify.
It doesnt work, I tried different carriers here in philippines but itunes says “Sim card inserted is not supported”
As i observed in the video, you need to copy the original carrier’s IMSI and paste it to your new Sim. I think this is how SAM worked. If you dont have your original Carrier’s sim then i think this doesnt work. What if you dont have the original carrier IMSI? Does this SAM still works? I bought my iphone 4 in a pawnshop and it doesnt have its original carrier and i dont have any idea about its original carrier.
thanks it’s worked
Hi All,
I am getting SIM card not inserted after step 8, I am in India.. do it work here also??
it works!! but as phen said in his comment below, you will need the original carriers imsi and paste it on sam..
it’s worked for me. now i can use t-mobile.
what happens to my att acount if i unlock it?
You can still use it, just insert your At&t on your iphone.
It will work as long as you still have the original sim of your iphone. Just copy the ISMI of your original sim then everything goes well.
No the original carrier for the phone for example bought it for ATT you need to select ATT
my phone is not de-activating… stuck at step 4….
it shows that ” your iphone is currently factoryactivated-this means you are hacktivated. until you are not hacktivated your phone cannot be activated so SAM is disabled.”
follow step 5 to 9… be careful not to skip the IMSI…. or else you’ll start all over again…
stuck at step 9.. itunes is not detucting my iphone….
You need to press revert lockdowned stockification to finish hacktivation
sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported….
getting this error while activating in step 9…
I Dont have the Original SIM :(
You do not need it
i see above this says CDMA+GSM. phone that r cdma do not have sims for the original career. like say C Spire. so how would you go about it on companies like C Spire?
Check SIM ID
you can still give it a try. some people got it worked without the original sim. just make sure you identify the original carrier of the iphone, if it is at&t then choose US.
Hello. I unlocked iPhone 4 (5.0.1, 4.11.08) for one Serbian career. Is
that unlock for one SIM, or for all SIMs on that career? Which is
procedure to unlock for other career? Is needed to do every process or
someone is not needed?
unlocked or locked?
OKAY!!!!!!!! Went through the process successfully but this is what i am getting when i was activating for the first time via itunes ‘we are unable to continue with your activation at this time’
Disconnect iPhone from computer, disable SAM, and connect again to iTunes. Maybe is needed to disconnect/connect many times…
Thx for the reply.
Phone is unlocked to AT&T.
I am stuck at Step 4. Doesn’t Deactivate!
Activation State Shows:Factory Activated.
Pls help :(
When sam is disabled, it says sim card inserted is not supported. Gosh!!!!!
had made mistake….
had removed SAM without activating my iphone… now it sucks..
can u pls help mee out in activating it….pls
i’m wondering if this is really working. who has tried this successfully? because it either u get ‘
e are unable to continue with your activation at this time” or the unsupported sim error.
can’t able to add repo… verification error… request time out… now??
Thanks a TON bros its worked!!!!!!
Just Select Revert Lockdown to Stock if it doesn’t Deactivate.
Work Fine for me ( waridtelecom Karachi,Pakistan
Unlocked successfully. Thank you so much!! For guys in India, Karnataka .. Please note that unlocking will work only for these service provider SIM cards –
Vodafone, Reliance and BSNL.
Currently the SAM module has wrong/old SIM IDs for other networks and hence the problem with unlocking.
servers are busy..
Thank you!!!!!!!!1 IT WOOOORRKKKSS!! IM WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!!!
will it work with airtel gujrat>????
Does it work for iOS 4.2.1 with firmware 03.10.01?
When i’m adding the repo it shows “Verification Error The request timed out”
In step 6, both the SIM details and SAM details are blank. An it shows invalid SIM on the status bar. Any help?
it’s been over 20 mins and it shows “verification error the request timed out”
Same thing is happening with me
When I’m actually downloadingthe source for Repo, it keeps finishing all the way up until the end and says POSIX: Operation Timed out and if I reload cydia then the Repo source is empty, and I’ve deleted the source a couple of times and re-done it a couple more. ANy ideas or options?
So when I download the source, at the end it says POSIX: Operation has timed out
and I’ve already reloaded cydia and redownloaded the source and the same thing keeps coming back up, any ideas?
Check your SIM if not reboot phone
Solved. I adjusted the sim card a little bit.
It works.
What is the carrier for mc604c iphone4… Need ur support guyz… i dont have the original sim and i dont know which carrier it was locked to..did anybody faced this issue? need your help guys,.,,,

jUST DONE WITH MA UNLOCKING THANK U
hi in step 9 after i connect my iphone to itunes it says the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported what can do ?? help please!!!
I got the same problem with my other iphone, unlocking is pain if you dont know what carrier your iphone is locked to. I think your iphone is from Canada, i suggest you will choose all the carrier from canada 1 by 1 since you really dont know what carrier your idevice locked to. Good Luck
You are mistaken ID of the SIM / country of origin or the carrier of the iPhone which is locked, you should repeat the procedure if you have the original SIM and insert it before you start and take a note of Sim (Click Method and select by country and carrier and thereafter select the country of origin of the iPhone is the operator with which it was sold / blocked, so you can get the ID of the SIM to be inserted later) Note: this must be done only if you have the original SIM, otherwise you can go to sim attempts selecting an ID at a time
Everything is perfect, the activation state says activated, the imei and the iccid numbers are a perfect match in itunes but no matter how long I wait, It still says No Service at the top left. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Try it later, maybe the server is bc or loaded.
I have simple mobile and I cannot find the carrier in the sections also what is the SIM ID i do not know which one to choose please help!!
Please help I think I have followed all steps properly maybe 20x now… but I will have service & see my carrier name but only very briefly, then goes to no service.
Brandon you need to select the carrier to who the phone is already locked to, not simple mobile (t-mobile)…was it locked to at&t?
i bought my iphone 4 last year from app store and it came with at&t sim but i never used it, and now when i do as you said in the itunes it says sin is not active, what should i do???? help me i really want to unlock it

m getting error msg like “we are sorr. the iphone u connected may be damaged or cannot be activated for service…””
how do you find “sim attempts”
Did you check by “bundle” if it shows there?
Read step number 9 make sure you turn SAM off
Reboot the phone
Reboot the phoen that solved it for me

For Bulgaria there is only “Globul” and “Mtel” when will support and VIVACOM ?
worked for mee now… unlocked succeccfully… now using airtel gujrat india…
thanx a lot friends….
insert the original SIM first to take the ID code of the SIM. In selecting the method by country and carrier, then select the country of origin country of the iPhone, the manager with whom Carrier is locked and finally going to ID Sim should find the ID selected automatically. Note: This is used to derive SIM ID.
To unlock you have to insert the sim you want to use from the beginning. Among the comments you should find my guide detailed enough. Mohamed

can sam unlock sprint’s phone ?? i am running a gsm sim, itunes continues to say sim cant be activated, plus in more information it keeps saying unactivated
I was able to solve this problem by unhacktivating the phone!
I am having the same problem.. It is staying at the screen with the Apple logo on start up and won’t advance any further..
I have been trying this process repeatedly with no luck, I get all the way to the itunes step and always just get the register screen or sometimes the apple ID login, I never get the error. I am going from Sprint to AT&T on an iPhone 4s, can anyone help?
but if my iphone is originally for at&t and i want it to work with t mobile what carrier should i pick and what sim id ???
when i am doing it with t mobile sim inside in step 9 itunes say that the sim doesn’t appear to be supported what should i do please helppp!!!
3 network is of Hutchison 3G UK
can you tell me how you unlock it from at&t to t mobile , because i have been trying alot of times and it always says in i tunes(step9) that the sim (t mobile ) that is in the iphone does not appear to be supported ? can you please help me?
Please correct me if I’m wrong Divyesh… I still assume that 3 network is of Hutchison UK.
Confirmed working on two devices, one has baseband 01.59.00 and the other is 02.10.04. The thing is that my reception quality indicator is always showing one bar, even though I have great service here.
Yoused tell me i think i am missing some steps, do u really have to use ur new sim for the process or you would have to select the carrier it was locked to, this is really confusing.
Any experiences here with SAM unlocking Sprint CDMA/GSM combo iPhone 4S in US?
Have never contracted with carrier but iTunes and subsequent 5.0.1 locked my GSM.
Have had a happy jail broken “i Pod” and excited to finally be unlocked, but this is a no sim CDMA unlock and i’m not sure how to proceed. I have a foreign sim if needed. Thanks for any and all suggestions….GL
i got it to work for those of u who get sim not support u did not copy the correct sam imsi number. regenerate it and copy it once i did that it worked and then make sure you quit itunes few times once you do it will activate phone and its unlocked
Where did you follow the procedure to unHactivate from…What did you do and what errors were you getting…Seems like a lot of Sprint 4S phoneds are having trouble when a SIM is introduced and they have not been activated and freed from the cdma obligation….
hi i dont unlock my iphone4 cuz i dont have the original sim..what i can do…pls help me
anyone having problems with sam,, I follow the instructions and when i open iTunes still says unsupported sim
I have a Gevey unlocked iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5. Would this method of unlocking still work if I update my iOS version, which would relock me? I just want to be sure that I won’t be locked permanently by doing that.

You need to use your new sim in sim card tray , and need to provide the details of the career the iphone was locked to.. I have done it, i did the restart of the iphone and sometime redone all the process, and it all worked and i have a unlocked iphone now
are your push notifications working?
i have trouble with it and can’t receive any push ntifications at all.
worked great thanks… note: i didn’t have original sim but i poked around with ifubox and found some logos from at&t so i assume thats one possible way to find the original carrier… also did trial and error with the sim id until it worked. followed all the other steps accordingly
After all the steps my Activation Status is “Activated”, when connected to iTunes it doesnt throw any error. But still I’m not getting any signal bars… I’m using Aircel India. Anyone please help!

jailbreak again without cydia (with redsnow)
I faced the same problem initially. I used the redsn0w to jailbreak again. I selected the “deavtivate” option and unchecked “Install cydia” while jailbreaking.
By this i was able to get past this problem but got stuck on step 9. On step 9 while connection to itunes.. it says that there is no sim card.
before starting the process what was the status in more information. mine is showing factory activated. what does that mean.
In some places it says that i need to un hactivate and i got no clue how do I do that
How to use Unlock tickets in future ??

and connect the iphonme to the comp

then close itunes
disable samprefs
open itunes
and voila!!!

even i am facing the same issue..
help???
After step 8, i get unsupported sim, Any Help?
I can’t go further than the deactivate step (step 4) the ActivationState label just keep Activated no mather what I do. I think it’s probably because I had chosed previously the activate method when jailbreaking my I phone 4 (Because I don’t have the ATT Sim card anymore). What should I do?
im not gay.. but i really cant tell how much i love you right now dude.. i made it using your guide:D thanks a lot bro
u have to use unhack(or whatever its called) option in utilities list
Pls help me my itunes says sim not supported. pls give me a guidance.
go with the bundle method…i had to do it manually because verizon isnt listed in the bundle name
instead of country and carrier go with the bundle method
what have you done..??? i still get this error :((
how did you get it to work?
Ive tried loads of time but to no avail !!!
yes it would but just incase update your iphone while preserving your baseband so you can use your gevey sim incase it doesnt work.
give me your email and i will send you the steps for notifications because it is too long
it says that because you have chosen the wrong sim ID from country/carrier/sim ID if you dont know which one is yours u will hve to keep trying until it works
If you have ANY questions about unlocking with SAM just email me and i will help you: omar_usa1995@yahoo.com

DOES SAM STILL WORK?
Hi! I tried using the saved sam activation ticket and when I connected the iphone to itunes the message: Sim card not supported appeared. I did have the iphone unlocked with sam but I stupidly turned off the iphone and I lost my unlock. What should I do!?

hey, is that 4 real????
on the pic #5 where the iphone its connected to itunes, said.. 5.0.1, does it work for a 5.1.1 baseband 4.12.01 iphone 4 in guatemala ????
I have a question… I have an iPhone 4 from USA that was previously on the AT&T network… It’s now in Canada and I think the sim has been deactivated. So how does this change the carrier unlock process? Do I have to get an activated sim from AT&T and do this process?
Why does it still say activated when I hit De-activate?? Help!
This doesn’t work in 3GS running on iOS 5.1.1 BB 05.16.05. I tried innumerable times but all I get in the end is ” The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported”. Crap and waste of time.
How did you do that I m rtrying 3 iphone 4 not chance yet. erdenur@gmail.com

ok, nothing is working, can someone give me all of the steps, step by step after installing sam? I am not computer illiterate, but this thing is making me feel really stupid. I have done all of the steps, but I must be missing something little. please be as detailed as you can. you can email me the steps to: archerdr1@gmail.com. Thank you.
oh, I have the Iphone 3gs it has 5.1.1 firmware with 5.16 baseband if that helps any
I get it to activate the phone, but as soon as I choose disable SAM, it says that I don’t have the right sim
My iPhone 4 got updated to the 5.1.1 IOS. The baseband is a 4.12.1. Is there anyway I can activate it with T-Mobile? I had it unlocked before, and then for some reason the signal never came back up, so I restored it. The phone is jailbroken, and I installed cydia, and ultrasn0w. The bar at the top still says no service. My email is wrxstisubaru@hotmail.com let me know if you can help me out. Thanks!
didnt wor on mine please help via iamlui@live.com
Its Steal Working ?
this doesn’t work anymore?
Whenever I use any app that uses internet (FB, emails etc) the
whole phone goes off the network and says “no
signal” & starts searching.
Even stranger; it also loses wifi connectivity for about 30
seconds or so if connected via wifi.
Is there a fix for this that I’m not able to find?
My phone details are 3GS JB / 06.15.00 / 5.1(9B176)
Just tried to unlock an iPhone 3GS and it wouldn’t de-activate. It still says it’s activated. HELP! please send help to wayne@kjake.net. Thank you!
