As promised last month, the iPhone Dev-Team has now released their iPhone 4 unlocking tool, Ultrasn0w, which can be used by U.S. owners tired of being stuck on AT&T.
The carrier unlock required a complete rewrite of the software because of Apple's new baseband OS for the updated phone.
It is important to note that users who unlock their iPhone 4 can use T-Mobile's cell network but not its high-speed 3G data.
Ultrasn0w 1.0 comes with instructions, courtesy of RedmondPie:
How to: Jailbreak iPhone 4 on iOS 4.0.1:
-Step 1: Unlocking requires that your phone is jailbroken on the latest firmware. Follow the complete guide posted here to jailbreak your iPhone 4 on iOS 4.0.1 / 4.0 using JailbreakMe 2.0.
How to: Unlock iPhone 4 (Any Baseband) on iOS 4.0.1:
-Step 2: Once you are done with the jailbreak, you can now unlock your iPhone on any baseband using Ultrasn0w 1.0-1 from Cydia. To do this:
-Start “Cydia” on your iPhone.
-Touch on “Manage” tab on the bottom.
-Now touch on “Sources”
-Touch on “Edit” and then on “Add”. You will be prompted to enter a url source as seen in the screenshot below. Type “http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com” and touch on“Add Source” to add this repo if you haven’t already.
-Cydia will now automatically update your sources by following a series of automated steps.
