Could it be true? Is the iPhone really unlocked? Well, sit down and steady yourself, because the answer is yes. Unlike previous methods which required tricky-to-locate v1 SIM cards and external SIM reader/writer drives, over at the Bladox forums they’re detailing how to do it with simply a blank TurboSIM and the iPhone itself. Those who have tried it out report full access to EDGE and SMS as well as incoming & outgoing calls, although doubts are being raised about the dedicated YouTube client.
The instructions as suggested on the Bladox forum are as follows:
First, your phone must be activated (with the AT&T SIM), jailbreaked, and with SSH and vim. Refer to previous tutorials to do that
- Download the port of Bladox utilities http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/show…5&postcount=16 on your computer, extract it on your computer (you need the binary file turbo-app)
- Download AppleSaft 0.92 from Bladox (see the link on their forum, don’t remember it), extract it on your computer (you need the .trb file)
- Turn on your phone with Turbo SIM + AT&T subscription
- Disable CommCenter – ssh to your phone, vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist addCode:
<key>Disabled</key> <true/>
for example add it just after these lines, already present in the file
Code:
<key>OnDemand</key> <false/>
If you don’t like vim, you can do this modification on your desktop computer (iPhuc/iPhoneInterface getfile, modify the file, and putfile)
vim ultra light survival kit
i : insert mode
ESC : command mode (from insert mode)
dd : delete the current line (in command mode)
:w! : save (in command mode)
:q! : quit (in command mode)- Reboot
- Copy turbo-app to your phone (for example in /opt/bladox)
- Copy applesaft.trb to your phone (for example in /tmp)
- ssh to your phone, set the executable permission to turbo-app (chmod a+x /opt/bladox/turbo-app) and run it with /opt/bladox/turbo-app /tmp/applesaft.trb. It should take approximately 30 seconds and you shouldn’t see any error. Please panic if you see one
- Reenable CommCenter – ssh to your phone, vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist and delete the lines you added previously
- Reboot
- Go into Settings/Phone/SIM Applications/Apple Saft and choose Set
- Turn off your phone
- Turn on your phone with Turbo SIM + your subscription and test
The TurboSIM is available from Bladox themselves for €59 ($80.68) . After you use it you can reportedly put in any other carrier’s SIM and the iPhone will happily recognise it. If you try it out, let us know how you get on!
