Apple has blocked iPhone 4 unlock with GEVEY interposer SIM, earlier today Apple seeded iOS 5 beta 2 to developers with some minor changes which also included this. Musclenerd from iPhone-Dev team has confirmed that the hole has been patched and Gevey SIM won’t work with iOS 5 beta 2.
In a tweet today he said :
If you rely on unlock we strongly recommend you not to upgrade to iOS 5 beta 2. Gevey’s SIM Interposer was able to unlock the iPhone 4 by force activating the baseband using the emergency dialer. This hole was not patched in iOS 5 beta 1 release and Gevey SIM worked perfectly.
Apple could’ve waited for the final release but they didn’t and i believe GEVEY won’t try to release another version of Gevey interposer SIM. They most probably will wait for the final release of iOS 5 which is scheduled this fall.
Gevery SIM supported following basebands:

Gevery SIM supported following basebands:
- 02.10.xx
- 03.10.xx
- 04.10.xx
- 05.14.xx
- 05.15.xx
- 05.16.xx
If your baseband is mentioned in the list above we strongly recommend you to stay away from iOS 5 Beta 2 as it’ll lock you iPhone4 and you won’t be able to use it for cellular services.
