Unlock you iPhone v1.1.2 with these SIM unlocking solutions
apple | hardware | iphone | solution | stealthsim | unlockSoftware unlocking solutions for iPhones with firmware v1.1.2 and above are resistant to software unlocking efforts. The iPhoneDevTeam has released the source code for their AnySIM software unlocking solution in hopes of getting a fresh perspective on circumventing software-based obstacles to unlocking iPhone v1.1.2 firwmares. So, what’s an eager-beaver iPhone-hopeful on a non-Apple-sanctioned network to do? While software solutions are out of the question, there are SIM-based unlocking methods available. For example, you can use the SonicSIM and StealthSIM unlocking solution to make your iPhone compatible with that “foreign” wireless network. The SonicSIM hack seems to be the successor to the TurboSIM from way back when. SonicSIM works by tricking your iPhone into thinking that an Apple-sanctioned SIM card has been installed. Check out the video below to see how this method works. (There’s been talk of this method and the accompanying video being fake. Anyone out there able to confirm as much?) StealthSIM is likewise a hardware-based unlocking solution and leaves your iPhone’s baseband radio code intact - making future firmware updates possible without the threat of turning your iPhone into and iBrick. The installation instructions are pretty easy to follow, and for $90 , it’s competitively priced.
