Gevey Accepts They Copied SAM Unlock Method: Recalls Gevey Ultra For iPhone 4

Many had doubts when suddenly Gevey released a SIM right after the SAM unlock method developed by Loktar Sun, that how could they suddenly come up with a solution when they had been silent for about six months. Well if you had a doubt on the credibility of the unlock regarding it being copied from SAM unlock method. It is true, Gevey copied SAM unlock method.

Today in a blog post Applenberry (official distributors of Gevey) mentioned they are recalling all Gevey Ultra 5.1 for iPhone 4. What this means is that; if you had ordered Gevey Ultra to unlock your iPhone 4, it simply won’t work as the loophole that was discovered to unlock all iPhones no matter what baseband they are on has been fixed by Apple.

Unfortunately, the GEVEY™ Ultra 5.1 for GSM iPhone 4 will no longer unlock the iPhone 4. The unlocking mechanism used in this model was based on Loktar Sun’s discovery of an Apple server logic error that took advantage of an ICCID bug to unlock the iPhone modem firmware. On April 27, Apple fixed this bug.

Now those users who did not try the free SAM unlock method and instead ordered Gevey Ultra to unlock iPhone 4. Well what can I say, you are probably stuck with an iPhone 4 for even longer time although there was a free option available for you.

Outrage On Copying

Now the worst part about this is that; not only were they copying from someone who originally developed the unlock, Gevey was charging almost $50 for the unlock when it was available for free!

People are outraged about Gevey Ultra being an exact copy of SAM unlock method. People have taken their anger on their Facebook fan page. Some of these are:

Neil Guiry: R.I.P applenberry pride, reputation, honesty, customer care, and most importantly RESPECT

Andy Scott: Slagging off those who were using SAM and not buying a Gevey, while all the time the Gevey was based on it?! That’s low…

Mohammad Sammy: Applenberry, ur situation is comedy now … You Stole other people’s bugs, lie to your remaining customers in order to steal their money for a FREE solution..
But ooops u got exposed .. What a shame!
