Tutorial: how to unlock any iPhone using SAM

Unlock-any-iPhone.png

With this tutorial you can release any iPhone, including iPhone 4S or iPhone 4, it works for now on all known firmwares (up to iOS 5.1) and you need to have the jailbreak done on your iPhone.

To achieve this, you must follow the steps described below, if it seems complex, don't worry, SAM will update soon to make the process much easier.

Tutorial:

1.- You must have the jailbreak done on your iPhone

2.-Install SAM from Cydia

You will find it in the repo repo.bingner.com

3.- Open SAM with the icon that you will find on the SpringBoard

4.- Enter the SIM of another operator

5.- Go to Utilities and select «De-Activate iPhone»

6.- Select «Method» in SAM and choose «By Country and Carrier»

Find your country and company (the original iPhone you have, not the one you want to unlock)

7.- Go to «More Information and copy the IMSI in« SAM Details »

8.- Press «Spoof Real SIM to SAM»

9.- Go back to the main SAM screen and change your method to Manual

10.- Paste the IMSI that you have copied before in its corresponding place

11.- Connect your iPhone to iTunes and allows its activation

Check that the ICCID parameter that appears in iTunes matches your SIM card, if not, you need to start from the beginning.

12.- Disconnect your iPhone and close iTunes

13.- Deactivate SAM (deactivating "Enabled"), or else uninstall it completely

14.- Connect your iPhone again and iTunes will give you an error saying that your iPhone cannot be activated. It is normal, close iTunes and reopen

15.- You already have your iPhone unlocked, the coverage bars should appear immediately

16.- If Push notifications stop working you can repair them using SAM, you just have to access and press «Clear Push» and then connect to iTunes.

NOTE: : the iPhone is free only for the SIM you have put in, it is not free for any company, if you want to change companies you must redo the whole process with the SIM you want to use.

UPDATED: this method does not work, head over here to see another method.

    Interesting ... we will have to try it

  2.   red run said

    I have a problem, in step 11 I cannot check the ICCID because iTunes tells me that the iPhone is not activated. Any ideas? : S

    1.    Carlos said

      The same thing happens to me as to Redrun

  3.   gnzl said

    go ahead and see if it works

    1.    red run said

      No, it does not work. It was not clear if my iPhone is Orange or Yoigo, so I have repeated the tutorial with all the possibilities, but nothing, iTunes keeps giving the same error.
      What's more, it gives me that we have loaded the hacktivation ...

  4.   sergio said

    iTunes doesn't do anything to me it always tells me invalid sim card put a valid sim card

  5.   panavtec said

    Is the process permanent or does it have to be done every time we update the iOS version?

  6.   red run said

    Anyway, we are left with the hope of what Gnzl says in the first post:

    "A SAM update has been confirmed that will make it much simpler, in the meantime we are going to prepare a tutorial for those who want to try it."

    regards

  7.   Pere said

    Please can you tell me which is the orange carrier?
    is that I do not clarify with those strange names.
    Thank you.

  8.   Carlos said

    PERFECT!! RUNNING =)

    1.    Carlos said

      THESE ARE THE VITAL STEPS (it remains to be clarified that you have to choose a SIM ID for it to work)

      6.- Select “Method” in SAM and choose “By Country and Carrier”

      Find your country and company (the original iPhone you have, not the one you want to unlock)

      7.- Go to “More Information and copy the IMSI in“ SAM Details ”

  9.   Pere said

    I have a problem after the step of:
    6.- Select “Method” in SAM and choose “By Country and Carrier”
    Find your country and company (the original iPhone you have, not the one you want to unlock)
    I go to "more information" and the IMSI is the same in Sim Details as in Sam details.
    that is normal because when I give "spoff real Sim to Sam" I select manual and it is still the same IMSI and I don't need to copy it.
    I connect it to iTunes and it tells me that the Sim is invalid
    Can you please help me??

  10.   Carlos said

    Originally from which company is your iPhone?

  11.   orange96 said

    This is permanent, or when we restore or update we have to do it again like ultrasnow?

  12.   Carlos said

    Orange tree has to be made again96

  13.   Liam said

    It hasn't worked for me either. How does ICCID look on itunes?

  14.   Carlos said

    You can see it by double clicking where it says phone number, in the information that Itunes shows on your iphone

    1.    rasty said

      Could you help me by msn, the truth is that I don't know what I'm doing wrong: /

  15.   Juan said

    Itunes does not tell me anything to activate, it synchronizes me and others as usual, I have to say that my iPhone 4 is hacktivated and I had it released by gevey sim. All the best!

    1.    Juan said

      My ICCD matches the one on itunes, but I have no coverage or anything.

      1.    AGUSTIN said

        Just as your friend was activated after a good time of investigating by carrier, my iPhone was from the UK and Orange, but I have no signal !!!!!!!

      2.    jose said

        corduroy as you did to give coverage after hacktivated

  16.   David C. Ruiz said

    Great application for the release, I have it released anyway since when the permanence contract ends you have the right to its FREE release by the company. This application is going to be a problem for companies that produce the Gevey Sim for example.

  17.   mcyork said

    It is already super good lol .... late to do it but it is 100% you will see

  18.   Pere said

    thank you very much to all…
    solved !!
    it is important to select after carrier just below this there is one more blank option you have to select any number that is in it !!!
    that's why it didn't come out !!

  19.   Trentino said

    It is good that alternative methods are found to be able to release the iPhone, although the ideal would be a total method that allows it to be released for any company.
    For the moment I am staying with the Ultrasn0w. That works well for me and I can put any of the microSim I have in a short time, something that is very necessary for me on many occasions.
    In any case, it is still a great advance, especially for those who do not have a releasable BaseBand.
    Let's wait for updates and improvements and as always, the important thing is to start, then everything can come often.

  20.   Liam said

    That's it, I got it, but in the tutorial there are certain errors.

    I have gone from Vodafone to Pepephone.

    First step: Insert the vodafone sim and connect to itunes.

    Open SAMPrefs and in "more information" copy the IMSI number of SIM Details.

    Close SAMPrefs.

    Disconnect from iTunes and close it.

    Put the Pephone sim and wait for it to come out «no service». If it does not go out, put and remove airplane mode

    Open SAMPrefs, Utils -> De-activate iphone

    Method -> manual

    Now you will get the ICCID and IMSI values

    In IMSI you paste the value that you copied with the vodafone sim

    You close SAMPRef, connect the iPhone, open iTunes and the error "could not ..." will appear.

    You disconnect and connect again and the pepephone signal will appear.

    Note: always keep the vodafone sim, sooner or later you will need it to do this process again.

    Greetings.

    1.    Yeppe said

      Thanks, I was missing a few things. Perfect for changing from orange to vodafone. Carrier orange >> France telecom the first id.

    2.    river said

      thank you very much friend it worked for me on an iphone 4s atyt

  21.   Joseph!! said

    please the Carrier of Orange !! = (

  22.   rasty said

    I have an iPhone 3GS from Movistary, not if I put the operator wrong, but it doesn't work

  23.   Javier a. said

    PERFECT !!!

    Thank you!

    Error 1664 and voila.

    I have done it with iPhone4 from Orange and it works.
    You have to choose France Telecom Spain.

    Now with SIMYO, enjoy!

    And coverage at 50.000% !!!

    1.    Joseph!! said

      Hi Javi a. JOOOO !! Could you help me please? since I am also Orange and I have it with Simyo .. but I was not able to do it !! by faaaa = (

  24.   Brayan said

    Hello, does anyone know how to make a tuenti card?

  25.   CHRISTIAN said

    all perfect ! Thanks Gnzl

  26.   Joseph!! said

    nah! I did not know how to do it .. can someone make a video tutorial? please = (

  27.   Javier A. said

    You have to set the SAM to "disabled" when everything has been done !!!

  28.   sergio said

    ni sikiera leaves moviestar spain

  29.   red run said

    I have managed to make it work for me, so I am going to give you a couple of details that in my case have been important:
    When it says to connect the iPhone to iTunes (step 11), do it with SAMPrefs CLOSED.
    For Orange, the operator is «France Télécom España», if you need another operator, you can look at it on Wikipedia
    Without wanting to offend Gnzl who has done a good job with the translation, I recommend this link (in English) that makes the guide easier to carry images. http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=21501

    For my part that's all, I hope you can all achieve it.
    Regards!

  30.   Then said

    I can unlock the iphone 4 even if I don't have the original iphone sim card

    1.    Silvio said

      if you can always and when you know which is the original operator and the country of origin.

      1.    Then said

        Thanks, I already did it, although now I have a problem with the coverage, I only get a bar even though I'm in the city; How can I solve this problem?

  31.   Omar said

    Hello good friends !!! Does anyone know if it works with a verizon iPhone 4s since the verizon does not use sim but it is a global iPhone something like that it has for sim but in verizon it does not need it ?????? And it can be turned off and on without problem or is it like the gevey sim! ??? Thanks???

  32.   jacir said

    The step-by-step tutorial did not work for me, but I managed to do the release. I had to improvise a bit and I'll tell you what I did to make it work for me. After I followed the steps in the itunes I got the message of invalid SIM, try several times uninstalling the SAM and restarting the iphone and nothing. It occurred to me to do the manual activation with SAM as it is normally done so that the notifications work (WildCardtivated) and the itunes recognized the iphone then I changed the IMSI that SAM puts for that of my SIM I closed the itunes and opened it again and I got the errór that the iphone could not do that if in the itunes it did not show me any info of the iphone to be able to verify the ICCID data, I closed the itunes, opened it again and voila… it was activated without using the GEVEY. Anyway, ssh in and save the / var / Root / ibrary / Lockdown directory for the future. I hope they don't despair and try like I did.

  33.   martin said

    2 Questions, is it for those of us who use gevey ??? and it works with the baseband 04.11.8 ???

  34.   sergio said

    Excellent tutorial, worked 🙂

  35.   xavi said

    I must say that after many attempts I have managed to free 2 orange iphones so it works perfectly, but the tutorial is somewhat doubtful. I particularly have sewn it thanks to the information of the tutor, the information provided by liam and giving the notifications.
    everything and that has been very helpful the news as the tuto.Thank you.

  36.   The said

    Tested with Yoigo, the whole process works but in the end, instead of starting to give a Yoigo signal, it jumps with the message "SIM invalid" and there it stays ...

  37.   Silvio said

    It works 100% tested on an orange iphone 4, with a pepephone card, which I would like to try with another without having if it works since it has given me the message of congratulations if the iphone is unlocked.

  38.   VICTOR said

    Thanks for the info, I was released thanks to the instructions that LIAM gave, I passed it from the operator of origin (at & t) to the one from here in Mexico (movistar)

  39.   July said

    neat, at last I have released my iphone 4, a key point is the copied IMSI has to be from the original sim and then run the whole process, if it is not successful try several times and even if there are two sims from the same operator there is always than run the same process.

    Regards,

  40.   Diego A. Renteria said

    It worked perfect, now my iPhone 4 Baseband 4.11.08 is released for Telcel Mexico.

  41.   Renzo said

    Hello, when releasing it for the new operator, the iphone continues to work for the old operator or only for the one we have released? ¿?

    Thank you

  42.   ester said

    I installed sam I uninstalled it with the card inside now it does not enter it only says that the activation of the iphone is necessary, it does not let me when I give it it says that I have to put the original sim and it does not go through wi-wi networks that I do oh god help

  43.   Memorandum said

    EStimados the repo is not recognizing me the cydia: Or is this true http://repo.bingner.com or did they find the SAM on the other hand?

  44.   Tech30 said

    I worked like a charm, iphone 3gs Orange, now simyo xD

  45.   Watchtower said

    Do you need to have the original SIM to do the Unlock? I say it because I bought my iPhone in the free market page (Peru) and it is released with the gevey SIM, therefore I do not have the original SIM, but I do know where it comes from (USA and it is from A&T). Greetings

  46.   accommodates said

    Excellent tutorial, it worked with my 4s sprint 5.0.1 at 100%.

    One question does this work for any iphone regardless of the baseband .. ???

  47.   RAFAEL said

    I know why it fails some have to do up to step 10 with the original sim when they go to do step 11 before doing so change the chip to the one of the company they are going to use

  48.   Luis said

    works on BB 04.11.08 or higher

  49.   George said

    I don't know how, but I did it. It was from Vodafone and now it is from Movistar. I just saved € 120 from releasing it by EMEI.
    iPhone 4 + IOS 5.0

  50.   angeliphone said

    How can I use this method but without using the original sim? : S

  51.   qualcomm_peru said

    The question would be if we do not know what the original sim of the iphone is or how to find the original sim of the iphone ??? and without having the original sim inserted you cannot perform the steps ???

    1.    George said

      Well, I join the question !!!! What if I have no idea which is the original iPhone company ????? and of course not having the original SIM!

    2.    Albertito said

      You can do it without having to have the Original SIM inserted but you should know why the company is blocked! If it's Spanish, you won't have many options either

  52.   tobarage said

    Did it work for someone already ??? ………………………

  55.   angeliphone said

    How can I do it without the original sim ?!

    1.    Seere Petrova said

      You need someone to pass you the imsi of your official carrier for example I am in Mexico ... I want to release it for iusacell ... it is not on the list ... but it is att from the United States ... which is the official operator ... that they pass you the imsi of a sim…. if it is from att contact me ... I will give you the data

      1.    Mariano Herrera said

        hey pass me your information to my email which is marianoindie@gmail.com by fas

        hey pass me your information to my email which is marianoindie@gmail.com by fas

  56.   Carlos said

    When I enter the sim of another operator, ICCID does not appear. Does this influence to be able to unlock the iphone? And if so, what can I do to solve this?

    Thank you

  57.   Diago said

    I do not know why so much san if there is already one without releasing to activate on itunes and it only comes out 4 dollars

  58.   tobarage said

    diago tell us how to do those of us who have an iphone 4 with baseband 04.11.08

    1.    Albertito said

      I have done it with an iPhone 4 from Orange Spain baseband 04.11.08 WITHOUT PROBLEMS!

  61.   ramon pelayo said

    It works, I already ralice it on an iphone 4, bb 4.11.08. it was at & t and now it works with telcel.

  62.   bora 35 said

    I can attest that it works, but before step 4, you have to open the sampref with the original sim to get the imsi from your card from the original phone operator. from there follow all the steps it works

    1.    Julian Rhodes said

      Well thank you, I was barado 'because my operator does not appear on the list worse aja you already destroyed me

  63.   tobarage said

    Does anyone know if I turn off my iPhone 4, it is deconfigured or I lose the release ???, that is, I will have to do the entire tutorial to release it again ???

  64.   Esteban said

    How do I know which company is my iPhone 4?
    I bought it second hand and it was released by gveysim !!!
    And how long does this release last? that is, how can you lose?
    Any suggestions ??

  65.   sebastian said

  68.   Sam said

    Well, I waited for 3 months, I was just auctioning it on ebay, I "sold it" I say "I sold it" because the buyer never paid me (this week) I canceled the auction and today I came from going to dinner with my family. I stumble upon this! It took me 3 attempts, if they are AT&T from the USA it is important to put the Sim ID that step is the one I was missing and they will! released my iPhone 3GS bb 05.16.05

  69.   Be said

    Any way to do it without having the original card?
    There are IMSI's listings by provider out there.

  70.   sebastian said

    it works!!!!
    The news today is very excellent! many of us were waiting for this fantastic news !! Thank you all for the contributions, comments, etc. a cordial greeting from pereira. COLOMBIA.

  71.   jordi said

    I attest it works, step 4. I have entered the new SIM that I want to activate, not the original one that the phone had.

  72.   Jose Luis said

    Gonzalo, now that any baseband can be released with this, would you recommend updating directly with iTunes and uploading it? I am supposed to be able to release it again, no matter what baby I have, right? Thanks.

    1.    frof said

      I join the question. I have the iphone 3gs with the famose baseband 06.15.00.

      Could you update with itunes directly, upload the damn baseband, jailbreak it, and then use SAM to unlock it?

      Thank you!!

      1.    gnzl said

        No, the baseband 6.15 is a jail, there is no way out or solution, we have always recommended not to install it, at the end of the day it is the firmware of the antenna of an iPad installed on an iPhone, a botch ...

        1.    Jose Luis said

          So do you recommend uploading the bb or not?

          1.    frof said

            Sure, my question was there.

            06.15.00 is a jail and a problem… .would it be possible to upload it by updating it in iTunes?

            1.    gnzl said

              As I said

              "There is no way out or solution"

              can't delete that baseband, it can not upload, download, change or update.

          2.    Jose Luis said

            and in my case? I have the 04.10.01 and used to have it released with the gevey. I update the baseband and release it again with sam?

            1.    gnzl said

              whatever you want, I would save BB in case you need gevey again

              1.    Toscano said

                Gonzalo is compatible with the Spanish operators?


  73.   cabe7568 said

    Thank you very much to all and especially to Gonzalo. unlocked iphone 4 ios 5.0.1 from vodafone to masmovil perfeeeee

    1.    antonio said

      It fits, have you had to put the vofadone sim at some point?

  74.   martin said

    I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE PEOPLE WHO WORK TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE !!!
    SINCE OCTOBER 2011 THAT I HAD MY IPHONE WITH BASEBAN 4.11.08 AND I WAS USING IT AS AN EXPENSIVE IPOD !!!
    SINCERELY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PLACE A PLACE WHERE WE CAN DONATE SOMETHING, EVEN IF IT IS 1 DOLLAR PER PERSON !!!
    THINK THAT THESE PEOPLE SAVE US FROM SPENDING FORTUNES ON ARRANGEMENTS OF COMPANIES THAT WE SPEND FORTUNES ON MOBILE PHONES !!!
    SOMEWAY YOU HAVE TO THANK THEM AND IT IS ALSO A WAY TO ENCOURAGE THEM NOT TO LOWER YOUR ARMS !!!

  75.   jose.vet said

    Hello, first say: THANK YOU GOD !!
    Let's see, yesterday after installing SAM, the iphone did not come out of the respring. I have had to restore.
    And today, I can't add the bingner font, can you all add it without problems ????

    1.    Facundo said

      I HAVE THE SAME OPINION !! This is really heavy !! What they have done has changed the lives of many iPhones !! in my case I used the givey which is really a headache since every time you turn it off you have to do five hundred things, anyway I don't deny it because it saved me for a long time. This method is fabulous ...

  76.   Manuel said

    Greetings, the repo is down or what happens? it won't let me add it, it says verification error.

    1.    Facundo said

      It is very likely that many people are trying to put the repo and it must have been saturated! Keep trying until I take it!

  77.   ItaloVZLA said

    I am from Venezuela and I want to unblock Movistar. My question is, should I have a company SIM or the SIM that I will use from now on? If the people who have already done it could give me some information, I would appreciate it!

    1.    Facundo said

      Italo you have to do all the tutoring. You do not need the sim of the previous operator! The only thing you have to do is find the operator with which the iPhone was activated in sam!

  78.   Facundo said

    Esteem I ask you a question? Did someone try the method on iPhone 3GS in version 4.1 with baseband 6.15 ?? Please be happy!

  79.   KevinCupraR said

    Running on an original Vodafone iphone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 and now with a Pepephone card.
    Patience to install SAM because the repo must be very saturated ...

  80.   break said

    I can not!! months waiting and I've already been like 50 attempts, I get a verification error !! f * ck !! what I do??? help

  81.   John said

    Is the original sim necessary?

  82.   ret said

    SAM tells me:
    Your iPhone is currently FactoryActivated - this means you are hacktivated. Until you are not hacktivated yout phone cannot be activated so SAM is disabled. Please try "" Revert Lockdound to Stock "under Utilities and disable" Hacktivate ", but I do it and the answer is" Stockification Failure ".
    Can someone tell me something?

    1.    John said

      The same thing happens to me, how did you do it?

    2.    Raistlin said

      It says this to me: «Your iPhone is currently FactoryActivated ...»

      What should be done in this case?

  83.   Facundo said

    Notice that above enable there is an option that says hacktivate, disable it!

  84.   ret said

    When I get to point 11 it appears in iTunes «It seems that the SIM card inserted in this iPhone is not compatible»
    But no sign of the ICCD
    Is this normal?

    1.    Lucas said

      The same thing happens to you, how did you solve it? In sim details are the source data of the iPhone operator or the one I want to make work? Thank you

  85.   Conviction said

    I've been trying to install the 'SAM' package, it starts to install but it skips two points of the installation and turns 'timed out' in red. It finishes installing, but the icon does not appear on the SB. I want to believe that it is because the server maybe saturated.

  101.   Right said

    I have done with 4.3.3 bb 4.10. If I update to official 5.1, does anyone know if it is still free?

    1.    Cristian said

      I just uploaded to 5.1.1 I did the procedure and it worked

      1.    Polenous said

        What company did you use? That is, if it was AT&T for example and your company Vodafone xej tb, did you use the US as the country and the AT&T company or instead as the country Spain and the Vodafone company?

    2.    snorkeling said

      no if you update to 5.1.1 you must be careful because you lose the release

    3.    Ernest Gonzalez said

      FROM ECHO IF THERE IS NO PROBLEM IT IS ACTIVATED WHATEVER YOUR BB IS NOT COMPLICATED AND IT IS EASIER KE THE ULTRASNOW

      1.    Carlos said

        I have iphone 3GS 5.1.1 and I can't do it, let me clarify, it's already jailbreaked and I have the sam, but when I turn on activate ipone it remains activated, WHAT DO I DO?

  102.   Willy Wonka said

    I do all the steps, but when I connect to itunes for the first time after using SAM, the iphone activation does not appear, I only get the message Your iphone is not compatible or is damaged. Which may be due? I use an iphone 4 with an ios 5.1 jailbreak

    1.    Willy Wonka said

      This is what it says when I connect the iPhone to iTunes for the first time after using SAM:

      There is a problem with your iphone

      We are sorry, but the iPhone you have connected may be damaged and the service cannot be activated.

  103.   Fernando Gonzalez said

    Good morning, in which part of iTunes do I see the ICCID parameter of the sim? Thanks.

    1.    Fernando Gonzalez said

      Thanks, it's on iPhone, summary, and click on the word phone in the summary several times.

  104.   Facundo said

    Wili wonka something you are doing wrong .. Or you choose the wrong company of origin. Or you are not compiling the imsi well. At my cost I tried several times until it comes out!

  105.   Javier Claros said

    Is the iPhone free for any chip from the same company?

    1.    Hello said

      It is not free for all sims from the same company, every time you insert a different sim card even if it is from the same company you need to configure.

  106.   Dana said

    The tutorial interesting, it worked perfectly for me, but something that the tutor does not say is Q, first you must use a sim card from the original company of the iphone and copy the IMSI of the operator, and then you enter the operator's sim card for which you need to release your iphone and impersonate the IMSI the operator you copied from before.

  107.   Javier A. said

    Hala, well I just unlocked the second iPhone 4.

    I am sowed !!

    Too easy

    1.    Daniel said

      Well, a big favor I don't know if you can upload a video tutorial, if it wasn't too much of a hassle, please ...
      Thanks in advance

  108.   Right said

    Dana that is not necessary

  109.   Charles Solis said

    The same messages appeared to me as you, I wanted to start over from scratch completely restoring the Iphone 4 iOs 5.1 and it is a surprise that when activating it I am released with the Telcel company from Mexico being originally ATT from the USA, the only thing that no longer has The Jailbreak Done, and I'm hesitating to do it because I don't know if it will affect ..

    1.    Bill said

      Hello I want to know how you did the procedure since it only tells me that it is looking for the mobile signal and when I open iTunes it tells me that the inserted sim is not compatible

  110.   Ana said

    Excellent!!! works great for me, Thanks!

  111.   unomas22 said

    Hello friends. When I select the country, and I choose the carrie, they don't turn out well for me, I get very strange things. the only one i can understand is vodafone. which would be to move and orange?
    Thank you

  112.   L3andr0 said

    Great ... iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 same baseband released for Movistar, working perfectly, I'm from Venezuela a digitel operator and when choosing the carrier you have to choose "digicel" so it comes out, ahhh another thing is that it can be used with the 2 lines just change and voila, it detects them at 2 to perfection .. Greetings

    1.    Eduardo said

      you released it for what company? how did you do it? I need to free mine for Digitel but it won't grab me 🙁

      1.    hectoravila said

        Partner, how have you done this? are you sure you have the moderm firmware 04.11.08

  113.   mario8991 said

    thank you i love you thanks thanks

  114.   Entangled said

    Hi, thanks for the post, but some points are not clear to me that I detail below:

    pto 1: any jailbreak is valid or do you have to have it to a specific version with the cydia to a specific version?
    point 4: another operator? what operator?
    pto 10 and 11: does not matter what version of itunes is installed?
    On the note: what if I release it with a card from a company, for example Pepephone from Spain, but this is associated with a phone number and then I put another card from the same company, but associated with another phone, would it work or I would give problems?

    If this method doesn't work, can you go back to the iPhone as it was before? as? we will have to create a backup copy of all the phones and shsh, right?

    Thank you.

  115.   John said

    I knew that my iPhone came from Canada but not from which operator, I had always used it with gevey here in France and I decided to do it. At first great disappointment when following the tutorial because it did not help me with any. Looking in other forums I decided to do it with the "automatic" method instead of "by country and carrier", the other steps I did the same but before connecting it to itunes I went to utilities, I put attemp activation, then the screen goes black as if respring and then connect it and voila, iphone 4 IOS 5.1 running with Orange France.

  116.   Hugo said

    finally, thank you, work your best

  117.   nelson higuita said

    It appears in SAM your iphone is currently factoryactivated - this means you are hactivated. until you are not hactivated your phone cannot be activated so SAM is disbled. please try “Revert lockdownd” under utiliteies and disable “Hactivate.

    That I can do ???

  118.   Paco said

    Hello everyone, does anyone know the cons of doing the SAM release? The issue of if I turn off the iphone if it is lost and that? Greetings

  119.   Leticia said

    I've been opening and closing iTunes for an hour, because the ICCID that appears in iTunes matches that of the sim, but it doesn't stop giving the error. It only recognizes the iphone without problem if I leave SAM Enabled, from the moment I remove it it does not recognize it in any way. Not even if I open and close iTunes a thousand times, and the IMSI is still that of the original sim ... Help! 🙁

    Hello. Does this still work for digitel cell phones in venezuela? It is that I just bought an iPhone 4 and I want to use it with Movistar line.

  131.   rony said

    I just used SAM to unlock an Iphone4 v.5.1.1 with jailbreak from Entel (Chile) and it was for Movistar, a detail that does not appear anywhere is that you have to have the sim without a pin (blocking code). I got an error several times in the process and then I put the sim on another computer and removed the pin and tried it again on the iphone with the sim without code and it worked immediately

    1.    Facundo said

      Roni, are you serious? What worked for you? Because this method Apple closed it long ago! Tell more in detail please !!!

  137.   geovanny guadamuz said

    friend see what it gets me when I do the whole procedure: It seems that the SIM card inserted in this iPhone is not supported.
    Only SIM cards from a compatible operator can be used to activate the iPhone. Insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a compatible carrier's store to change the SIM card.

    that alone makes me and won't let me do anything, can you help me?

  138.   Isaac said

    But does it work with any basement? Or I keep the one I have (it is in iOS 4.3)

    Can you still do this, or is it true what they say above that apple closed it?

  142.   George Ernest said

    Greetings ... I am very happy. I followed all the steps that are said here and my phone iphone 4 SO 5.0.1 BB 4.11.08 came from the AT&T company in the USA and now I have it in Telcel Mexico. The unlocking was done today August 28, 2012. After following the Itunes steps and said congratulations your iPhone is unlocked (or released from the emotion I do not remember) Now I update it to OS 5.1.1 and BB 04.12.01 and it was done without no problem. I have had my iPhone since February using it as an iPod and now I have a cell phone ... I saw this procedure in May but I said it was already closed that Apple had canceled it but I was left with the doubt these months I had nothing to do test and surprise it worked ... to the letter as I did if it works.

    1.    George Ernest said

      Sorry… August 28, finger error.

      1.    zunusuall said

        right now you have 5.0.1 ??

        1.    George Ernest said

          Not now I have OS 5.1.1 update it without any problem in iTunes. When I unlocked it with SAM it was on OS 5.0.1. Then I did the Jailbreak with Redsn0w and ready everything working at 100. Greetings.

          1.    geovanny said

            Friend, put the steps you followed, because I have an iPhone 4 with ios 5.1.1 baseband 04.12.01 and I have not yet been able to unlock it, it is AT&T, as Apple supposedly no longer allows this procedure to be done, so I don't know if you did something extra so that you could unlock it and it will be like factory ??????
