WOW: Sprint Got iPHONE 4S! Just a matter of time Boost will, right? Or can we S2B it?

Seriously ***k Howard's forums. I wasn't soliciting anything. I offered the chance for someone to send me their iPhone and I would provision it to boost mobile free of charge so I could write a tutorial that would benefit the whole community. Anyway if anyone needs me you can find me at xda forums.

I am going to guarantee that Sprint and Apple will have legal binding agreements that the Sprint iPhone can't be used on any of their MVNOs...

legally yes….
Just as the untethered jailbreak for the A5 devices took SO long… I'm sure its a matter of time b4 we see an iPhone on Boost with 3G (illegally of course)

It took forever because the "Dev Team" is 90% attention whores and 10% actual, talented hackers. Comex works for Apple now and Geohot seems to have lost interest in the iPhone. Apple locks their stuff down tighter with each revision. Heck, just look at the convoluted process required to get Siri to work on an older iPhone - all due to Apple's authentication scheme.

Apple has officially been giving the middle finger to hackers, tinkerers and homebrewers from the day this phone first hit the shelves back in 2007. While HTC actually listened to customer feedback and now offers an official bootloader unlock, Apple has continued to tighten security and shows no signs of ever allowing customers any real control over their phone.

In a nutshell, if you want to use an iPhone with a cheap plan - use it on Straight Talk, it's officially supported now. Don't hold your breath waiting for any CDMA hacks. In the unlikely event it does happen, it will probably be available only as an incredibly expensive "solution" or though a flashing service and it'll only be good until Apple releases their next iOS update.

its no different from a jb iPhone now, you do the iOS upgrade and u loose the jb… Same goes toward the hacked iPhone, u do the upgrade and chances are you will loose service…
So you use common sense and get your hacked iPhone on Boost and don't upgrade, deal with what it has at that time…

Honestly this has nothing to do with Apple they don't care what carrier you use the phone on. It has to do with Sprint and contracts.

I'd be really surprised if anyone actually releases a free solution for the iPhone. Heck, the iPhone 4 still doesn't have a software unlock solution for anything but the oldest baseband. That whole ordeal has become an elephant in the room for the Dev Team.

And if you feel a paid solution is worth it when there's no guarantees you'll ever be able to upgrade to a newer iOS - more power to you.
