As easy as download a Cydia app and following a few easy steps. Follow this guide right now!
While we wait for the untethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1 we have been gifted with another "must-have" for all of those who rely on a carrier unlock for their iPhones. Using the SAM package, a hacker named Loktar_Sun has discovered an easy way to use your iDevice with any SIM cards regardless your original carrier.
The steps to follow are these:
Before proceeding you need a Jailbroken iPhone (any model, any baseband and any firmware) by any method, tethered, semi-tethered or untethered, the SIM you want to use with the iPhone already inserted and the last version of iTunes installed.
-Step 1: Add this repo to Cydia: http://repo.bingner.com and search/install Sam Bingner's SAM package.
-Step 2: Launch SAMPrefs by clicking its icon.
-Step 3: Go to Utilities and select De-Activate iPhone. Check the More Information section to be sure.
-Step 4: In Method, click on By Country and Carrier Then select your original carrier. (The carrier who sold you the iPhone, not the SIM's you want to use). It may possible that you need to select SIM ID as well, so consider doing that if the procedure fails and the end of this guide.
-Step 5: Click on More Information again and in SAM Details copy the IMSI number (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) that is showed there.
-Step 6: Click on Spoof Real SIM to SAM.
-Step 7: Get back to SAM's main menu and change the Method to manual. Paste or introduce the IMSI you copied before in the editable field.
-Step 8: Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes to re-activate your phone, double click on "Phone Number" parameter at the main device screen in iTunes and check if the ICCID matches that of your SIM card (SAM shows you this). If not you need to get back to Step 1.
-Step 9: Unplug you iPhone and close iTunes.
-Step 10: Disable SAM in the SAMPrefs app.
-Step 11: Plug your iPhone to your computer again and open iTunes. It will tell you it can't activate the iPhone.
-Step 12: Close iTunes and open it again.
-Step 13: Wait patiently while iTunes activates your iPhone this time for real and... Voila! Unlocked!
-Final step: If your push notifications stopped working, open SAM again and click on Clear Push and then connect to iTunes once more.
Please note that you have to perform this steps once with each new SIM you want to use with your iPhone due to the unique ticket system that SAM sports. It is a good idea to backup your already generated tickets using the last version of RedSn0w (0.9.10b8) for Windows (https://sites.google.com/a/iphone-dev.com/files/home/redsn0w_win_0.9.10b8.zip?attredirects=0&d=1) and Mac (https://sites.google.com/a/iphone-dev.com/files/home/redsn0w_mac_0.9.10b8.zip?attredirects=0&d=1)
