How to Unlock iPhone 4.3.1

The Dev Team just released their unlock for iPhone 4.3.1. This updated version of ultrasn0wbrings support for the iPhone 3Gs and the iPhone 4 that are exclusively using these basebands: 01.59.00, 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04, and 06.15.00.

In this post, we’ll guide you into unlocking your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 on any of the above basebands, and running the latest iOS 4.3.1…

First, you have to make sure your iPhone comes with any of the baseband versions listed above. If it doesn’t there isn’t much solution for you at this time.

If your iPhone is however running any of those versions, you can easily update to iOS 4.3.1 while preserving your baseband, which will allow you to unlock using ultrasn0w 1.2.1.

Step 1: You will first have to jailbreak and update your iPhone using one of these methods:

• update to iOS 4.3.1 with PwnageTool, or
• update to 4.3.1 while preserving 01.59.00 baseband using TinyUmbrella

Step 2: Once you are updated to iOS 4.3.1, launch Cydia, go to Manage > Sources > Edit > Add,  and type in the following repo: http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com. This will install the ultrasn0w unlock on your phone.

Step 3: After installing UltraSn0w, make sure to reboot your iPhone.

At this point, you can insert a different SIM card. If you install T-Mobile, make sure to disable 3G in Settings > General > Network.

Thats all there is to it. The whole jailbreak+unlock process is fairly easy and shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

BlackBerry Bold Touch 9930 Basics

                          

A slew of leaked video tutorials for upcoming BlackBerry devices is finally giving us a glimpse into what RIM has in store to keep its diehard fans from ditching the platform. Among some more video of the all-touchscreen BlackBerry Monaco / Touch, we're finally seeing how the popular Bold form factor will benefit from some touchscreen magic in the aptly named Bold Touch. We're longtime fans of the traditional form factor, but if anything, the addition looks to be more trouble than it's worth.



 Like its sliding cousin, the Torch, touch input seems even more gimmicky given that all the same functions can be performed using the familiar (and beloved) optical trackpad -- which doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Sure, touchscreens are all the rage these days and pinch-to-zoom is nice, but we can't help but wonder if RIM is simply killing time until its dual-core QNX-equipped phones hit unsuspecting BBM'ers. Of course, the company has been impressing us with its use of touch on the Playbook, so there's no telling what it might have in store come BlackBerry World. You can peep the Monaco action after the break, or check out a torrent of others at the source link as well.
