A relieving yes. At least for now, for iOS 5 beta 1, it does. The process remains unchanged \u2014 just insert the interposer, restart your device, accept the welcome message, dial 112, and toggle the Airplane Mode feature a few times. The Gevey SIM will still work to unlock iOS 5.0 beta.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>However, in order to install iOS 5 you&#8217;ll need (in addition to access to the iOS 5 9A5220p IPSW firmware upgrade and the iTunes 10.5b27 build) access to a real SIM from whatever manufacturer your phone originally shipped with (probably AT&amp;T) for the activation to go through. And you&#8217;ll of course need to have your phone registered as a developer device on the iOS Developer Center website. We tested this ourselves on an AT&amp;T iPhone 4 that was previously running 4.3.3 with the Gevey unlock.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy your interposer-unlocked iOS 5 and let us know how it goes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: iOS 5 Beta 2 and up!
