iPhone 4 Not Charging on Latest iOS 4.3.2 – Report

Two days ago we reported that Apple has released the iOS 4.3.2 for iPhone 4 / 3GS and all other iOS Devices. Basically, this release of iOS is just to fix the bugs which were founded on previously released iOS 4.3.1, and this update almost fixed the all bugs of iOS 4.3.1 until we saw this topic in Apple’s support forum. An iPhone user has started a post in forum on which he is claiming that he can’t charge his iPhone 4 after upgrading to iOS 4.3.2.
Here is the rest of his report, which he posted on forum:

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.2 but this resulted in being asked to restore my iPhone to factory settings due to a problem. The update seems to have worked and have regained everthing I lost after syncing my phone. The problem now is that my iPhone won’t charge, either by power socket or by USB via my MacBook. The MacBook doesn’t seem to recognise the charging cable (the official one that came with the iPhone) and I was sometimes getting on screen messages saying such when trying to charge the iPhone. The iPhone now has no charge at all so I am completely lost. I hope someone out there can help as I really don’t have the time to go to my local Apple store for them to only send off the phone to be repaired and be left phoneless. Thanks in advance everyone.
According to the series of his post, he tried almost all the possibles ways, He also checked his iPhone 4 with one of his friend phone’s charging cable, but still he didn’t found the fix of it.

Unlock iPhone 4,3GS using Permanently IMEI unlock Method

Good news for iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS users. Now you can permanently unlock your iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS by using IMEI unlock method. This is a new remote unlocking method which will allow you to unlock your iPhone 4, and iPhone 3GS on any baseband using the IMEI of the iPhone. For this you don’t need to jailbreak your iPhone. As we know Ultrasn0w can not unlock iPhone 3G, 3GS on baseband 05.14.xx, 05.15.xx and 05.16.xx but using IMEI unlock method you can unlock your iPhone 3G, 3GS on baseband 05.14.xx, 05.15.xx and 05.16.xx.

Now We have Four Methods To Unlock Our iPhone

Method 1: Ultrasn0w

This is the most public method available for iPhone unlocking. As you know Ultrasnow working is based on  iPhone basebands (01.59.00 / 04.26.08 / 05.11.07 / 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 / 06.15.00) these basebands can be unlocked using Ultrasnow. It is to remind you that a jailbroken iPhone is required to install Ultrasnow on your device.

Unfortunately Ultrasn0w doesn’t support the latest basebands (02.10.04 / 03.10.01 / 04.10.01 / 05.14.02 / 05.15.04) and we still waiting for the lastest Ultrasnow by the Dev-team that will unlock all above mentioned basebands.

Method 2: Gevey SIM

In this method you have to use a special SIM and call at 112 emergency number to get your phone activated, which might be illegal in some countries. Moreover it does not support all firmwares and basebands So it only unlock iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1 and 4.2.1 basebands 2.10.04 and 3.10.01. You will found troubles on following some steps on every reboot to get the signals of unsupported carrier. In contrast to Ultrasnow, you also have to pay few bucks to get it.

Method 3: Rebel Micro Sim Card.

Rebel Micro Sim Card may be similar to Gevey SIM, Rebel Sim can unlocks iPhone 4 basebands 1.59.00 / 03:10.01 / 02.10.04 / 04.10.01 running iOS 4, iOS 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.3 & 4.3.1. The Rebel Micro Sim developer may be trying to solve the Gevey sim  Problems
Rebel Micro Is like an Untethered Jailbreak means if you reboot your iPhone so you don’t have to do the procedure again and again. The signals will come up automatically.
It costs GBP 40 for Rebel Pro and GBP 30 for Rebel Lite. We don't know more about the that sim or the sim problems cause it sill new sim

Method 4: IMEI unlock

@MuscleNerd the well -established online unlockers for other cellphone brands are suddenly today selling iphone unlocks..obviously something opened up

 

@ Chronic iPhone is being repaired now so can’t test, but I know @CutYourSim is legit thru past dealings. I’m positive his unlock offerings are legit.

Notes: that IMEI unlock method is an official iPhone unlock so it does not affect your warranty status.
price of IMEI unlock method:  is almost thrice as compared to GEVEY SIM ranging between $150 to $200 USD.
If you don’t want to pay money for unlock then you can wait for the free Ultrasn0w unlock.
