This is just a regurgitation of the fake "unlock" people were pushing a few months ago.

At the very *best* you'll get 5-10 seconds of what looks like a carrier signal. But you won't be able to make calls, and the signal will disappear after 10 seconds max.

It's a normal side-effect of OTA activation. It doesn't last more than mere seconds.

I tried posting this on the faker's blog, but he's filtering the comments (for obvious reasons).

I think in this specific @pod2g example, he was legitimately excited by seeing something he thought would immediately extend his method to the A5. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of that!

I think in these cases it's best to go by past history. It's probably the only way to distinguish between honest misjudgments, and intentional misleading.

Hah thanks, as with most things in life, it's a continuous feedback loop :) Think stuff, say stuff, hear stuff, incorporate, rinse and repeat :) (But it's always important to let the stuff be said, because the existing stuff may not actually be right :) )

Yep, all three iPad2 models. (It seemed too confusing to specifically say: iPad2,1, iPad2,2, iPad2,3)

Hi Zazaya,

Thanks :) And also thanks very much for helping so much here in the comments sections!

It's always an interesting tradeoff between the "only announce when ready!" crowd and the "please give us latest status update!" crowd :)

iPhone Dev Team is not against sim unlocks :)

But for instance @pod2g lives in France, where software-based sim unlock hacks are illegal, so he cannot support them. Different countries can have drastically different laws.

It's actually much more rewarding to know that you're using the jailbreak for good purposes, not bad (piracy) :) Principle matters more than $$ reward!
