iOS 5 is the major release of Apple’s mobile operating system that runs on iPhones, iPod touches and iPads. The new iOS includes many features, some of them long-awaited by the iOS community, including a revamped and less intrusive notification system, enhancements to Mobile Safari, especially on the iPad, and system-wide Twitter integration. it was first unveiled at this year’s WWDC, which stands for Worldwide Developer Conference, with the first beta coming out on the same day, followed by several other builds over the last few weeks.
So what is a FastSn0w? well, once upon a time, the unlocking community relied mostly on the iPhone Team for a software unlock in the form of ultrasn0w, but it couldn’t unlock basebands for iPhone 4 2.10.04 nor 3.10.01 and later. Then along came a Chinese hacking group by the name of fast Unlock which sought a more reliable iPhone unlock solution. unlike ultrasn0w, the FastSn0w is a software based, it does not use a SIM interposer which sits between the baseband hardware and the SIM card itself to perform what is known as a man in the middle attack, rendering iPhone 4 basebands 01.59.00, 02.10.04 03.10.01, 04.10.01 all unlockable.
