When you see a custom name instead of the operator’s name on anyone’s iPhone or screenshots on the internet, you might have wondered how do they do this.

Unlock iOS 7 iPhone 5 / 4S / 4 Using Ultrasn0w, SAM & Gevey SIM Dear readers, the guide to download iOS 7 and to install it has already been given by us. Now is the time we play our major role and inform you about the iOS 7 unlock and related basebands information. MuscleNerd and Sam Bingner have both confirmed this unlocked their iphone 4 s and iphone 4. Also confirmed working on the iphone 3 gs. Someone has confirmed after unlocking their iphone 4 that a restore with the new sim in it went fine and the iphone was activated again. An update to SAM will simplify these instructions.

• Mar 05, 2019.
• Mar 21, 2019 Anyone using an iPhone 4 or earlier on iOS 5.1.1 or earlier can install an untethered jailbreak. Anything newer than that, both device and iOS firmware, is limited to a tethered jailbreak. Redsnow can also be used for installing jailbreaks on some devices on iOS 6.1.3 but only if those devices have a chip earlier than the A5 and it will be a.

This application does not have any icon for itself. You need to configure it through the settings app on your iPhone.

While it does not need a reboot or respring to change iPhone’s carrier name, you do need to quit Settings for the changes to take effect. Works perfectly with iOS 4.3.1+

It can be downloaded for free via Cydia. Since, it is hosted on the BigBoss repo no need to add any new repo to Cydia. Just search for Fake Operator using the search tab.

2. FakeCarrier

This app is similar to Fake Operator in functionality. It does have its own icon but that’s not why I like this the most. The good part is that you do not have to quit the app for the changes to be effective. Just type fake carrier name and tap on set to apply it. I have tested FakeCarrier to work on the latest iOS version 4.3.1 on iPhone 4.

Again no extra Repo needs to be added as it is hosted on BigBoss repo. Just go to Cydia and search for FakeCarrier.

3. MakeItMine

Iphone 4 Specifications

MakeItMine is an app by Erica Sadun. Since, this app hasn’t been updated in a while it does not work for iOS version 4.2 and later. Also, it requires you to respring iPhone for changes to take effect. Even though respring feature is included, it is inconvenient compared to the previous two apps.

You can install MakeItMine from the ModMyI repo, which is a default repo in Cydia.

Do let us know, which is your favorite fake carrier application for iPhone and what did you finally change the carrier name to?

Do you want to downgrade your iPhone or iPad to an earlier iOS version? There are several reasons why you might want to do this, but the main one is that the current iOS version is causing problems. When Apple releases a new firmware version, you get a short time in which to try it and downgrade if you need it.

Because after a set period of time, usually a week, Apple will stop signing the old firmware so you won’t be able to downgrade back to it; you’ll be stuck on the new one, problems and all!

Let’s dig in

Iphone 4 Ios Update

Before Downgrading: Final data 3 0.

Before you downgrade your iOS version, you need to do three things. These will ensure that your data is safe and that you can downgrade successfully:

• Make sure iTunes is up to date. Open iTunes and click on Help>Check for Updates. Follow the onscreen instructions to update.
• Make sure your data is backed up. You can use iTunes and/or iCloud for this; if you don’t and something goes wrong, you will lose everything.
• Disable Find My iPhone/iPad, your passcode and, if enabled, Touch ID. You can enable them all again after the downgrade.

Fix TinyUmbrella Downgrade Errors :

TinyUmbrella is a reliable app, but there are a couple of errors that you might be unlucky enough to come across – Error 1 or getting stuck in recovery mode:

1. First, download Fix Recovery onto your computer and extract the files
2. Download zlib.dll and save it onto your Pwnage folder
3. Extract the contents and then follow the steps above to put your device into DFU
4. Find the file named fixrecovery43.exe and open it
5. Let it do its work; once finished your iOS device reboots and you can use it once more

It’s that easy.

A word of caution:

You cannot downgrade to an iOS version that Apple no longer signs. If you try, you will get an iTunes Error 3194 or one that reads, “Device Isn’t Eligible For Requested Build”.
