Despite the ongoing Canada Post Labor disputes, Canada Post now has Unlocked wireless devices from your standard wireless cell phones to the latest Smartphone's on sale via the Canada Post website. Check out the great deals, specifically the iPhone SALE that is on right now. Canada Post is featuring a wide variety of Smartphones including the Samsung SGH-T959 Vibrant to the BlackBerry Bold 9780 and including the amazing and ever popular iPhone 4!! If you are in the market for an unlocked device that can be used on any network, you don't want to miss out on this.
If you do not know what is meant by an unlocked device read on:
An unlocked cell phone is a cellular telephone handset or smartphone that can be used with more than one service provider, making it easy for a user to switch from one cellular network to another.
The sequence of steps a user must perform in order to unlock a cell phone depends on the original communications service provider and on the manufacturer of the phone set. Some cell phone sets can be unlocked by inputting codes to modify the software in the unit. Other sets require the purchase of special cables or modification of the internal hardware as well as reprogramming of the phone's data settings. In the wake of the U.S. Copyright Office's decision in November 2006 to allow cell-phone unlocking for at least three years thereafter, numerous companies began to offer unlocking services for a fee.
Proponents of cell-phone unlocking argue that consumers should be free to change their network when a subscription contract expires without having to discard hardware they purchased outright. Some cell-phone service providers, unhappy with the Copyright Office's decision, are resisting the practice by making their cell-phone sets difficult or impossible to unlock.
For more information on unlocking your own device, contact your wireless service provider or Google it!!

The untether rolls on
From the infamous iPhone Dev-Team:
Only a few weeks after the 4.3.1 untether created by @i0n1c was released, Apple pushed out firmware 4.3.2. Thankfully, it appears Apple didn’t have a chance to fix the hole used by @i0n1c’s untether, so he ported his code over to 4.3.2’s kernel. Today’s redsn0w has been updated to include it.
The 4.3.2 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.2 except for the iPad2:
iPhone3GS
iPhone4 (GSM)
iPod touch 3G
iPod touch 4G
iPad1
redsn0w 0.9.6rc14:
OS X redsn0w
Windows redsn0w
As always, ultrasn0w unlockers should stay away from redsn0w and only update their firmware through a custom IPSW. We’ll release a new version of PwnageTool sometime this week.
For any questions or problems, please use our comments section below with our ever-helpful moderators Confucious, sherif_hashim, dhlizard, Frank55, and subarurider.
Update #1: Until @i0n1c has a chance to fix the i4 version, we’ve removed the i4 untether from redsn0w (making it a tethered-only JB for i4 right now).
Update #2: redsn0w rc14 includes the fixed i4 untether from @i0n1c. You can re-run redsn0w rc14 right over the tethered rc13b to transform the i4 JB into an untethered one.

Three years of pwnage(tool)
From the great minds of the iPhone Dev-Team:
Three years ago (almost to the day!), the first version of PwnageTool was released for firmware 1.1.4. So today we’re excited to release another edition of both PwnageTool and redsn0w to bring an untethered jailbreak for Apple’s latest firmware, FW 4.3.1.
The 4.3.1 untether exploit comes courtesy of Stefan Esser (@i0n1c on twitter), a security researcher based in Germany. Stefan has a long history of vulnerability research, and ironically his first contribution to the iPhone jailbreak community was improved security — last year he beat Apple to the punch and implemented ASLR for jailbroken iPhones with his “antid0te” framework. We’re happy to see that Stefan then turned his iPhone attention over to an untethered jailbreak exploit!
The 4.3.1 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.1 except for the iPad2:
iPhone3GS
iPhone4 (GSM)
iPod touch 3G
iPod touch 4G
iPad1
AppleTV 2G (PwnageTool only for now)
The reason the untether won’t work as-is on the iPad2 is that it requires a bootrom or iBoot-level exploit to install, and the iPad2 is not susceptible to either the limera1n or SHAtter bootrom exploits.
WARNING WARNING — ultrasn0w users don’t update yet! We need to first release an update to ultrasn0w that fixes some incompatibilities when FW 4.3.1 is used on the older basebands supported by ultrasn0w. And remember once we do fix ultrasn0w for 4.3.1 (we’ll announce it here and on twitter), you must only get there via a custom IPSW from PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze or xpwn! Don’t ever try to restore or update to a stock IPSW, or you’ll lose the unlock!
For everyone else, redsn0w is the easier program to use (and redsn0w runs on both Mac and Windows). Please check out places like iClarified for some excellent guides on how to use both PwnageTool and redsn0w.
Feel free to ask for help in our comments section. Thanks once again to our fantastic moderators for volunteering their time and knowledge and keeping order: Confucious, sherif_hashim, dhlizard, Frank55, and subarurider!

Update #1:
Those running redsn0w may have noticed we enabled too many Settings options in some versions of the jailbreak (for instance, what you want your side switch to do, even if you have no side switch because you’re not using an iPad). Releaserc10 rc12 of redsn0w corrects that (you can just run it over your existing jailbreak…be sure to de-select Cydia to avoid package conflicts).
Along the way, we’ve also added the option to enable boot animations…these animations can be installed via Cydia, but be sure to select which animation to use via the Settings->Bootlogo setting after you’ve downloaded an animation (and again, you can just runrc10 rc12 over your existing jailbreak…be sure to de-select Cydia to avoid package conflicts).
(The boot animation we tested against was “Android Boot Logo”. It correctly installs all the dependencies needed to run the animation at each boot).
redsn0w 0.9.6rc10
redsn0w_0.9.6rc12: (rc12 should fix any lingering issues with the boot animation)
OS X redsn0w
Windows redsn0w
Update #2:
We’ve pushed out the 4.3.1 compatibility fix for ultrasn0w in Cydia — it’s now at version 1.2.1. If you’re not already at 4.3.1 and you need the unlock, please be sure you understand how to get to 4.3.1 using a custom IPSW that doesn’t update your baseband. There are lots of guides for this (like at iClarified.com).
This isn’t a new unlock! It’s to allow those who are already using ultrasn0w to use FW 4.3.1. It also fixes the signal bar issue for those who aren’t using the unlock but retain an older baseband intentionally.
AFTER INSTALLING ULTRASN0W 1.2.1, PLEASE REBOOT YOUR iPHONE using the normal “slide to power off” swipe. T-Mobile users in the USA also should disable 3G mode in Settings->General->Network.

Faster than the speed of Cydia!
Jay Freeman, aka ‘Saurik’ has updated Cydia to a newer and faster version. Introducing Cydia 1.1!! Saurik announced on Twitter: Cydia 1.1: faster, slimmer, and more stable; including an improved search algorithm and “resume where you left off”. Available in Cydia now!
Here is a quick installation tutorial for Cydia 1.1
1. Launch Cydia. Tap on the Changes tab along the bottom.
2. You’ll see upgrades available for Cydia Installer. Tap Upgrade and Cydia 1.1 will install.
3. Once the install completes, tap the ‘Close Cydia (Restart)’ message. Upon reloading Cydia, you should see 1.1 in the bottom right on the main page.
Saurik notes that Cydia 1.1 will remove older default packages, which is normal. Repositories aren’t deleted, they are just managed differently.
Currently, third-party repos are having trouble keeping up with the huge “1.1 rush”, according to Saurik on twitter:
Apparently the “1.1 rush” (130,000 users in 3 hours) is hammering many third-party repositories (like BigBoss): please be patient with them.

iOS 4.3.1 Jailbreak
Since the release of iOS 4.3.1 everyone has been strongly anticipating a new jailbreak. We know the iPhone Dev-Team are working diligently on a Jailbreak along with others. Recently, Stefan Esser, aka @i0n1c demonstrated an untethered iOS 4.3 jailbreak earlier on his iPad. He also uploaded a youtube video demonstrating his exploit using sn0wbreeze 2.4 on an iPod Touch 4G. Unfortunately a release date has not been made public at this time.

OS 4.3 Now Available
As most of you may know Apple released OS 4.3 early. The original launch date was to be March 11 2011.
If you have a jailbroken device or unlocked, as always, do not upgrade to the 4.3 OS or you will lose your Jailbreak and Unlock.
The Jailbreak teams are working diligently and anticipate a new Jailbreak for this OS very soon. Although no release date has been announced, the buzz seems to be leaning towards a quick resolution for this OS.
Be patient, as always, our hard working Jailbreak Teams such as the iPhone Dev Team and the Chronic Dev Team, or even George Hotz aka: GeoHot (If he has time outside of defending himself against the lawsuit from Playstation) we will have a jailbreak very soon!!
