Fyi...i dont want to use redsn0w (yeah i already know about it,to)....thats why i said blacksn0w from Cydia..

Blacksn0w was made for more current basebands. The 2G has an old baseband that doesn't change anymore. That is why the suggestion for redsn0w should work better.

Oh well, it is his choice, let him do what he wants.

Oh well,I'm new to unlocking. So yeah. Thanks for the info,Cerote. And yeow202,chill,it's just a question. Like I have said,I'm new to unlocking. Maybe I will use redsn0w. But I would have to downgrade the phone. I don't feel like doing that though. Oh well. Thanks for the link though yeow202

Why would you have to downgrade?

Oh,you know,I misread that part about 3.1.2,oops

[i.Annie]

Just to clarify, cuz you seem to be mixing tools/terms into one category.

Redsn0w=jailbreak which can implement the unlock automatically to 2G phones via BootNeuter

Blacksn0w=unlock for 3G or 3GS phones on 5.11.07

blacksn0w does not work on 2G, you will use BootNeuter to unlock. Which like I said, Redsn0w will automatically do for you.

If you happen to wanna know why, its cuz your baseband (what is it? 4.25.x or something...) doesnt support Blacksn0w, only Bootneuter.

Here, this should help with the whole process. Or if you are jailbroken already the last paragraph has the unlock info for 2G.

Hello,
I'm having trouble locating/opening the 3.1.2 firmware that I downloaded from that link to be able to downgrade/restor it in iTunes. Now i'm in DFU mode. Any tips?

Thanks in advance

What do mean opening?. If the file downloaded is in a .zip form, just rename from .zip to .ipsw then you will see it in a cube form.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks. Do i need to rename any of the other downloads?

t depends, if it is downloaded as ipsw, then you don't have to.

Just needed to rename the firmware file. Then everything worked smoothly with redsnow. Now I need to find all the hacks for Tmobile.
Thanks so much for your help.
