IPhone Carrier Unlock Jailbreak Get Cydia carrier Unlock for iOS 12 / 13 versions written by Makis October 3, 2019 At the moment is not possible to jailbreak iOS 13 (Oct 3, 2019) however, you can easily jailbreak iOS 12.4 with or without a computer.

“How do I unlock my new iPhone?” Has got to be one of the most common questions we get here at Gadget Helpline. Your network will do it for you at a price, which is usually around £20, or you could get it done through a website or third party mobile shop.

There are also ways of unlocking an iPhone yourself, for free. However, as you may expect, these aren’t always the most legitimate of methods. We’ve recently come across a rather easy way of unlocking an iPhone 4 or 4S if you’ve got your phone jailbroken already.

The process of jailbreaking your iPhone allows you to install software that Apple wouldn’t allow, and if for any reason your phone has to go back to Apple and still has jailbroken software on it, your warranty will be invalid. That said, if you can restore your phone first, the jailbreak will be gone.

So, to perform this unlock you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone 4S, 4 or 3GS. We’d strongly recommend being on iOS 5 as this version has a complete (untethered) jailbreak, whereas those using iOS 5.1 can only use a tethered jailbreak. This means that if your phone completely runs out of battery or reboots at any point, you’ll need to connect it to your PC via USB and re-jailbreak it each time, so you’ll lose your unlock temporarily.

IMPORTANT: Before starting this process, and before you think about jailbreaking your iPhone if you haven’t already, know that Gadget Helpline accepts no responsibility for any harm that may come to your phone as a result of either jailbreaking or installing this package. That said, we’ve been running a jailbroken iPhone for years with no problems – as have thousands of others – and the unlock package has been fully tested and works very well.

Before starting with Step 1, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC or Mac. To check for updates click Help at the top of the screen in iTunes followed by Check for Updates.

Step 1

Jailbreaking your phone will add a little brown icon called ‘Cydia’. This is a jailbroken app store. You’ll need to open this app and tap ‘Manage’ at the bottom followed by ‘Sources’ and then ‘Edit’ in the top right corner. Tap ‘Add’ and then type ‘repo.bingner.com’ and tap ‘Add Source’.

Step 2

Tap Search in the bottom right corner and search for ‘SAM’. You should find at the top of the list a package called ‘SAM’ with the description ‘Subscriber Artificial Module…’ Select SAM then tap ‘Install’ followed by ‘Confirm’ in the top right corner. You’ll see a black screen with a bunch of white text scrolling down for about 30 seconds. Once you see ‘Restart Springboard’ simply tap it and wait for your phone to reboot itself.

Step 3

Open Settings on your phone and scroll down to SAM. Tap Utilities followed by De-Activate iPhone, and tap OK on the prompt to continue. Tap SAM in the top left to go back.

Step 4

Tap Method and then select By Country and Carrier. Tap SAM in the top left to go back, now tap Carrier and select your network.

Step 5

Tap SAM in the top left to go back. Tap More Information and now tap and hold your finger on the long number next to IMSI. Tap Select All followed by Copy.

Step 6

Tap Spoof Real SIM to SAM. You’ll get a notification box saying ‘Spoofed…’, simply tap OK to continue.

Step 7

Tap SAM in the top left to go back. Tap Method and change it to Manual.

Step 8

Plug your phone into your PC using the USB cable provided and open up iTunes. After a short while iTunes should recognise your phone and re-activate it using the new network that you’ve just selected in SAM.

Step 9

Once this process is done you can disconnect your iPhone and close down iTunes.

Step 10

Open Settings on your phone and scroll down to SAM. Tap the On switch next to Enabled to change to Disabled.

Step 11

Connect your iPhone to your PC once more and open iTunes. You’ll be told that iTunes cannot activate the iPhone. Close iTunes down and then re-open it without disconnecting your iPhone.

Step 12

Now iTunes will recognise the phone and re-activate it, and you’re done! Your phone will now work using any SIM on the network you’ve selected. If you want to use another network you can repeat this process, selecting a different network of course in Step 4.

Your phone will remain unlocked and will work fine even when rebooted (unless you’re using a tethered jailbreak of course). However, if you choose to update your iPhone you will lose the unlock as this process will remove the jailbreak altogether. The choice is yours, stay unlocked or stay up to date!

User Reviews

SAM is a jailbreak app for Cydia that allows you to unlock your iPhone so that you can activate and use a non-stock SIM card that is not supported by your existing carrier. SAM (Subscriber Artificial Module) can be easily installed and applied to any jailbroken iPhone that has Cydia installed. The developer of SAM, Sam Bingner (@sbingner), has made the process of installing SAM a lot easier with the latest version. This is good news for those who are new to unlocking. Previously you would have had to connect your iPhone to iTunes, and use the original SIM card and get a hold of country/carrier and SIM IDs to perform an unlock. With the latest version of SAM (version 0.1.16.-1), unlocking is now a streamlined process that involves just a few taps and a few minutes of your time.

The unlocking procedure using SAM currently works on most iPhones, including the iPhone 4S, which is great news. This means you can just take out your ATT sim card and use a T-Mobile SIM on your iPhone, for example. Unlocking an iPhone is great for those who want to use a different carrier than the one their iPhone is “locked” into at the moment. Reasons for wanting to use a non-standard carrier vary from user to user, but it can be good for those traveling abroad, and also to use a non-standard phone and data plan on an iPhone which could help some people save money etc.

: As reported by a few users already, Apple has “patched” their activation servers so that the SAM unlock may not work for new users any longer. If you did have an activation ticket from before, you can still use SAM. We will keep you posted if new unlocking methods are uncovered.

Warning: A quick word of caution. Please proceed with unlocking at your own risk!

The following are the detailed steps on how to download and install SAM on a jailbroken iPhone.

Supported Hardware: iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G

Configuring SAM

Now that you have installed SAM follow these simple steps to configure your new SIM card on your iPhone.

  1. Remove your existing SIM card from your iPhone and insert your new unofficial SIM card
  2. Open SAM by tapping the SAMPrefs icon
  3. Make sure the Method selected is Auto Detect
  4. Go to the Utilities section and tap the Attempt Activation link.
  5. That’s it! Your iPhone will now reboot and your iPhone will pick up the new SIM and your new carrier name will appear on the top left of the iPhone after a few seconds.

Troubleshooting SAM

Follow these steps if you get an error message in SAM. These steps basically involve deleting a few system files, which require the iFile app. Errors you may experience might read something like “You must select the original carrier SIMID of your iPhone” etc.

  1. Install iFile from Cydia.
  2. Open iFile and go to /var/root/Library
  3. Tap Edit and choose the Lockdown folder.
  4. Tap the zip button which creates a backup for you, then delete the lockdown folder
  5. Again in iFile go to /User/Library/Preferences and find SAM and delete com.bingner.sam.plist
  6. Turn off your iPhone, and turn it back on
  7. Put your new SIM card into your iPhone.
  8. Now again open SAMPrefs and make sure Auto Detect is selected. This will guess the correct SIM ID from the Region code of the iPhone.
  9. Tap Utilities & Attempt Activation. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
  10. Your iPhone will reSpring and your iPhone should recognize the new SIM
  11. You can verify that your new SIM is working by calling 611 from the Phone app. You should hear the automated message from your new carrier such as T-Mobile.
