How To: Unlock iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS On ANY Baseband (iOS 5.0 To iOS 5.1) With SAM

April 22, 2012 by Jaden Easton-Ellett 308 Comments

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:

Unlock iPhone With SAM

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).

Unlock iPhone With SAM

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.

Unlock iPhone With SAM

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?

  2. Robin Jonsson says

    April 22, 2012 at 4:57 pm

     Probably not no, since this is only spoofing, and not actually unlocking it.

  5. BlueRaider says

    April 22, 2012 at 5:14 pm

    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.

    April 22, 2012 at 5:30 pm

    Wow finally I got my iPhone locked !

  7. Derin says

    April 22, 2012 at 5:37 pm

    I cant Lock my Iphone, It say ‘The Simcard Inserted in this iphone does Not  appear to be supported” :(

  8. Done says

    April 22, 2012 at 5:40 pm

    Just worked for me and it’s pretty simple. Thanks

  9. JadenEllett says

    April 22, 2012 at 5:46 pm

    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.

  11. Stephan Kostreski says

  12. Adrianrey2 says

    April 22, 2012 at 8:50 pm

    Is all this true or is false like all the others videos.

  13. Guest! says

    April 22, 2012 at 10:33 pm

     same here… and i dont know whats the problem… i thought we can unlock…

  14. Wmuhamma says

    April 22, 2012 at 11:02 pm

    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

  15. Wmuhamma says

    April 22, 2012 at 11:09 pm

    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.

  16. phen says

    April 22, 2012 at 11:29 pm

    It doesnt work, I tried different carriers here in philippines but itunes says “Sim card inserted is not supported”

  17. phen says

    April 23, 2012 at 12:08 am

    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. 

  18. Skymkim says

    April 23, 2012 at 12:26 am

    thanks it’s worked

  19. Deepak Rao says

    April 23, 2012 at 12:42 am

    Hi All,

    I am getting SIM card not inserted after step 8, I am in India.. do it work here also??

  20. ace says

    April 23, 2012 at 12:46 am

    it works!! but as phen said in his comment below, you will need the original carriers imsi and paste it on sam..

  21. Skymkim says

    April 23, 2012 at 12:47 am

    it’s worked for me. now i can use t-mobile.

  22. Kingeli23 says

    April 23, 2012 at 1:18 am

    what happens to my att acount if i unlock it?

  23. phen says

    April 23, 2012 at 2:02 am

    You can still use it, just insert your At&t on your iphone.

  24. phen says

    April 23, 2012 at 2:05 am

    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. 

  25. bligui says

    April 23, 2012 at 3:15 am

    No the original carrier for the phone for example bought it for ATT you need to select ATT

  26. Divyesh says

    April 23, 2012 at 3:17 am

    my phone is not de-activating… stuck at step 4….

  27. Divyesh0 Pargi says

    April 23, 2012 at 3:19 am

    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.”

  28. Guest! says

    April 23, 2012 at 3:26 am

    follow step 5 to 9… be careful not to skip the IMSI…. or else you’ll start all over again…

  29. Divyesh0 Pargi says

    April 23, 2012 at 3:44 am

    stuck at step 9.. itunes is not detucting my iphone….

  30. Mustafa Ahmed says

    April 23, 2012 at 3:54 am

    You need to press revert lockdowned stockification to finish hacktivation

  31. Divyesh0 Pargi says

    April 23, 2012 at 4:27 am

    sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported….

    I Dont have the Original SIM :(

  33. bligui says

    You do not need it

  34. Jseals1984 says

    April 23, 2012 at 5:58 am

    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?

  35. bligui says

    April 23, 2012 at 5:59 am

    Check SIM ID

  36. Phen says

    April 23, 2012 at 6:03 am

    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.

  37. Ivan says

     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?

    April 23, 2012 at 7:34 am

    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’

  40. Ivan says

    April 23, 2012 at 7:36 am

     Disconnect iPhone from computer, disable SAM, and connect again to iTunes. Maybe is needed to disconnect/connect many times…

  41. Thefuhrer666 says

    April 23, 2012 at 7:52 am

    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.

  66. phen says

    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

  67. Mohamed says

    April 23, 2012 at 9:16 pm

    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

  68. Jonuhten says

    April 23, 2012 at 9:16 pm

    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?

    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

    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.

  118. Real_steps says

    April 24, 2012 at 8:22 pm

    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.

  119. Mero Mindspring says

    April 24, 2012 at 9:35 pm

    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

  120. Akeuro08 says

    April 24, 2012 at 9:41 pm

    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

  121. Mero Mindspring says

    April 24, 2012 at 10:12 pm

     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….

  122. Sexymarla58 says

    April 24, 2012 at 10:37 pm

    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

  135. Micha says

    April 25, 2012 at 5:30 am

    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

  137. Hari Ravilla says

    April 25, 2012 at 5:05 am

  142. r a V i o says

    April 25, 2012 at 9:20 am

    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.

  143. r a V i o says

    April 25, 2012 at 9:25 am

    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

  165. FLY says

    April 26, 2012 at 2:04 am

    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?

I do however have a h20 wireless sims card that does work on locked iphones (it’s sort of linked with atnt is why it works with locked iphones) and i was wondering if i would you that sims card instead of the origion one that came with the phone because i don’t have the origional one?

    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?

    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!

    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)
