Gevey Ultra iPhone 4 Unlock For Sale

Gevey has introduced their Ultra SIM, dubbed Gevey Ultra, for unlocking the iPhone 4 running on iOS 4.3.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.1, 4.3.0, 4.2.1, 4.1. This is great news if you’re stuck with an iPhone 4 waiting for the software unlock for T Mobile and Simple Mobile.  Since iOS 4.1 was released, there hasn’t been a software unlock for the iPhone 4 running modem firmwares (baseband) 2.10.04, 3.10.01, and 4.10.01, yet. Leave it to Gevey, who also provided a SIM unlock for the iPhone 3G running on to iOS 2.2.1, which also didn’t have a software unlock available for that version.

Gevey released a SIM unlock, Gevey Pro, for iPhone 4 iOS 4.1 earlier this year, but it required dialing 112 on the iPhone 4 every time the device was rebooted or turned off and on again. This was a pain for people who let their iPhone’s battery die (it does happen people) or have to reboot for whatever purpose. The new Gevey Ultra does not require this step and is a perfect alternative to unlock your iPhone 4. There is one drawback. You can’t use MMS (picture messaging) if your running iOS 4.3.3 just yet. I’m sure the iPhone hacking community will solve this soon enough.

We are currently selling the Gevey Ultra for those of you brave enough to try it on your own. We also will provide the service for you if you’re not tech inclined. You will have to cut your T Mobile or Simple Mobile SIM card in order to have it fit in the custom SIM tray Gevey provides but they included a small template to help you with this task.

Here are instructions and a video to help you with your iPhone 4 unlock with the Gevey Ultra SIM:

You’ll need:

1. A jailbroken iPhone 4 running Cydia (you’ll need this to install a tweak before this process begins)
2. GEVEY Ultra SIM card (will soon be available from here)
3. Some knowledge on how the iPhone works.

Setting it up:

Step 1: Remove your SIM card, by inserting a paper clip into the pinhole next to your SIM slot, and cut it to fit the tray that should come with the GEVEY package. Never cut into the circuitry.

Step 2: Launch Cydia and add the following repository: cydia.furiousmod.com. Then locate the “FuriousMod” package and install it. After that’s done, a “No SIM card installed” error will pop up, that’s OK. Before proceeding, make sure your phone is turned off.

Step 3: Place the GEVEY SIM on the tray, along with your own SIM on top of it. Make sure both cards are on the tray, then insert it back into your phone.

Step 4: Power your phone back on and wait around 40 seconds for your signal to be detected. Ignore any errors and don’t interact with the device until your phone picks up the signal.

Step 5: In order to get 3G, turn on Roaming Mode by going into Settings > General > Network and selecting “Data Roaming”.

You’re Done!

Warning: Beware of counterfeit Gevey SIMS! Craigslist scammers are ripping people off left and right!

Soon we will be servicing these for our current clients and new clients as well.

I’m also working from home until the new office and office systems are put into place and completed which should be around Mid-August or early September of 2011.

If you need my help please call me @ 832.785.8051 to set up an appointment. Thanks for your patience.

iTunes Error 29

Well we have another blunder in the iPhone 3G S user world now (go figure). Tons of clients have been bringing me iPhone 3G S that end up stuck in recovery mode after that tried to update to the current iPhone iOS 4.3.3 in iTunes. The problem also seems to be re-occurring everywhere after I did a Google search to see how rampant the situation is. I tried several software solutions to no avail.

After banging my head against the closest brick wall available to me I decided to interrogate my clients a little more. Most of them had recently had their batteries replaced at local area “repair shops” in the Houston area or they attempted to replace their batteries themselves with ones they purchased online from varies sources (kudos to the DYIers for your guts).

I did a bit more research and found out what the problem was. Apparently iPhone iOS 4.3.3 for the iPhone 3G S does not support aftermarket batteries (I would have never thought about this because I only use orignal Apple Parts so it was a non-issue with my battery replacements)! If you don’t have the correct battery installed in your iPhone 3G S it will give you the iTunes error 29 99% of the time.

There are 5 different PN (part numbers) for the Apple iPhone 3G S battery, meaning they have five different possible batteries for this same iPhone model. The reason for this is because Apple was trying to increase battery performance as they were shipping out the iPhone 3G S over a period of time.

Also Apple changed a key component on the 3G S around October of 2009 in order to close some software vulnerabilities. That resulted in another battery hardware change as well. This is when Apple shipped the iPhone 3G S with a new Bootrom (The Read Only Memory that start when you power up your iPhone 3G S). So in truth, there are 2 iPhone 3G S.

All in all the bottom line is to be careful who you allow to repair your iPhone 3G S, or any iPhone for that matter, and if you are going to replace the battery yourself, make sure you purchase it from a vendor that sells original Apple replacement parts.
