Jailbreak/Unlock iPhone 3G[S] 3.1.2 or above

[umairnadeem]

Hi everyone
Every other post here is so confusing i cant understand what they are saying using these fancy words and stuff

i just bought an iPhone 3GS and i do not live in any country with a carrier for it so i need to unlock.

it is 3.1.2 version and model: MB715LL

I have tried to run blackra1n and it unlocks+jailbreaks, but everytime i restart phone i have to repeat the jailbreak.

is there any any way that i can permanently jailbreak/unlock? what is this sn0wbreeze application for; will it jailbreak my iphone permanently?

or do i have to wait for something and is there any announcement of anything which will fix this issue?/

i have researched almost 5 hours about this on the net and i am getting mixed replies, so someone please please explain to me clearly

thank you every1 so much

You are on a tethered jailbreak, meaning that, yes, you'll have to run blackra1n every time your battery dies, or if you re-boot. Nothing you can do about it right now. Might be a fix when 4.0 software is released.

alright.. but i ran f0recast and it says that maybe my iphone can be untethered jailbroken...

should i try running sn0wbreeze 1.5.2? my iphone 3gs is on version 3.1.2, and i created a custom ISPW 3.1.3 .. should i restore my iphone to 3.1.3; will it remove the problem of having to run blackra1n everytime at boot-up?

thanks..

Check your sim tray. The 4th and 5th numbers will tell you what week the phone was made. If its 40 or above, you're tethered.
