Replying to #4

Yep. A5 devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4S) have new code. For a unlock, Ultrasn0w needs to be re-coded to support the 4S lock.
An unlock should be available soon.

Aiether i dont think you should name it after your self, since you really havent done anything, maybe that could be the reason your files got deleted, give credit to their respectable owners/devs

He wrote the tutorial, therefore he's entitled to give himself credit for that. the files getting deleted is highly unlikely to have any relation to him writing this tutorial.
