For those people who are unaware of this situation and for those who want to know about the iPhone 4 unlock on iOS 5 let me say a few things

Before i begin i already wrote a detailed article on unlocking iPhone 4 on iOS 5 but sometime later there was a rumor regarding a new SIM that could unlock iPhone 4, it put many people in confusion. This new SIM is called “Miracle”. So to make things clear read ahead

Gevey SIM Unlock iPhone 4 baseband 4.11.08

When Apple released iOS 5 to the general public many users who relied on a carrier unlock upgraded thinking that they would still be able to unlock their iPhone 4, but as they were all wrong. What upgrading to iOS 5 did was introduce a new baseband called 4.11.08 which as it turned out, it could not be unlocked with a Miracle Sim Card.

So basically everyone who relied on a carrier unlock got stuck on a new baseband, 4.11.08, which could not be unlocked.

In the first two-three weeks people could just downgrade their firmware to iOS 4.3.5. What it did was downgrade the baseband too so people could unlock using Gevey SIM, but then Apple stopped signing iOS 4.3.5 and then the whole trouble started.

Many people got on forums complaining and trying to find out solutions for unlocking iPhone 4 on 4.11.08 but as you know there was no solution. Then came Miracle SIM.
Miracle SIM Unlock iPhone 4 on iOS 5 4.11.08

“Miracle SIM” seemed like a miracle for many users who could not use their iPhone 4 for weeks. When something sounds too good to be true it normally is, likewise so far there has been no confirmation on whether this Miracle Sim works. Even if it does work to unlock iPhone 4 there is a problem.

I asked iPhone Dev team member musclenerd about this new Miracle SIM. It has a huge flaw. According to musclenerd this Vold Miracle Sim won’t do any good as it is like sharing your phone number due to the way this new SIM works.

So basically there is no currently any solution for unlocking iPhone on this new firmware. If you see anyone claiming that they can unlock your iPhone for a little fee DO NOT fall for it, as it is most likely to be a scam.

• Rock solid crystal oscillator on board for flawless timing

Setting up your PS3

Before you may use True Blue, you must first install the 3.55-Dongle custom firmware onto your PS3. This is similar in function to the well known kmeaw CFW; however it also includes modifications which allow True Blue to operate correctly. The 3.55-Dongle firmware updater is distributed in a file labelled "TrueBlue-3.55-CFW.ZIP", and may be obtained through an internet search - once you have obtained it, please confirm the validity of the PS3UPDAT.PUP file contained within the ZIP archive by matching with one of the following hashes:

MD5: 43C522F8897D77B6165F95BCF3409090

SHA1: A64B010DB98996C7E53768D37D4D346F271D5950

Once you have confirmed that you have obtained the correct updater file, proceed with the update as follows:

• Obtain a USB storage device such as a USB HDD or USB flash memory stick
• Create a folder on the storage device in which to save the update file. Using a PC, create a folder named "PS3" on the storage device. Within the PS3 folder, create a folder named "UPDATE"
• Copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file to the "UPDATE" folder created in step 2. Thus, you will have this path structure on your USB storage device: \PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP
• Boot your PS3 and insert the USB storage device into the PS3
• From the home menu, select (Settings) -> (System Update) -> (Update via Storage Media)
• The PS3 will notify you that the "3.55-Dongle" update was found. Select OK then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update
• After the update has completed, your PS3 will restart and you now be running the 3.55‐Dongle custom firmware. You may now enjoy the use of the True Blue dongle

(NOTE: The above procedure is only applicable to PS3's on or below system software v3.55)


Using True Blue

To use True Blue JB2, simply insert the dongle into one of the USB ports on your PS3 and power the system up. Do not remove the dongle at any point while the PS3 is running.

True Blue for the most part functions just like a regular jailbreak/CFW in that you may install and run any homebrew software and all of the standard backup managers are supported. The most notable difference is that games designed for PS3 system software v3.6 and above are also supported.

However, in order to enjoy such titles, you must first obtain special "True Blue versions" which have been modified to function with True Blue. Such modified versions are available for download through the "usual channels" and are clearly labelled as being True Blue compatible.

Once you have obtained True Blue modified games, simply copy them to your PS3 internal or external USB HDD as you would with any usual jailbreak game and launch in the usual manner through any one of the many available backup managers.

From time to time, we will release firmware updates for True Blue which will add new features.

Finally, in related PS3 scene news today fail0verflow have Tweeted the following hint on what may be some interesting PlayStation 3 developments to come:


"Don't worry all, we are just warming up the twitter engine - getting ready for more tweeting in December "


Odds are if it isn't done by other PlayStation 3 hackers beforehand, by December they will have made enough cash on the dongle and release a PSGroove-esque version to the PS3 scene for free... so definitely hold off blowing money on this useless device folks.
