Hey guys, my iPhone 4 is on 5.0.1 I want to factory restore in order to have it unlocked and so I can sell it....

How do I go about doing so?
 
If you are asking how to apply an IMEI unlock without a restore:


I recommend doing this:
To apply the IMEI unlock, you do not need to restore. Get SAM from Cydia (http://www.bingner.com/SAM.htm) and run it, Utility tab select deactivate the phone. Kill SAM in task manager.

Plug the phone into iTunes to reactivate - YOU MUST have a sim in it to re-activate. The unlock will attach.

And on an added note, this is not a real time support site. Expecting an answer in 13 minutes is unrealistic.
