    Default Unlocking iphone 3g IOS 4.1 . HELP PLEASE

    Hello

    i have a iphone 3G currently jailbroken with redsnow and unlocked with ultrasnow on ios 4.0.1 baseband: 5.13.04

    i would like to upgrade to ios 4.1

    if i use snwbreeze 2.0.2 will i be able to jailbreak and still unlock with ultrasnow?

    i really rely on unlock as im using my iphone with a prepaid sim (simple mobile)

    i would just stay on 4.0.1 but is slow to the poiunt oif barely functioning. i checked all around the net and there is no clear answer anywhere .

    please any one who knows please tell me. i dont want to risk locking my iphone

    As long as you use a custom firmware with no baseband update you should be fine.

    Just make sure you shift+restore (and not just click restore by itself) to the custom firmware.

    I'm not sure about the battery life. I've been extensively using my phone lately more than I used to, so I really can't test that. Have you noticed an improvement?

    Default Request

    I have iPhone 3G OS 4.1, 05.14.02. - jailbroken, but I can't unlock it for other carriers. I've installed ultrasn0w, but iPhone couldn't find network and blocked. When I tried to downgrade it , there was 3194 issue, which I unsuccessfully tried to fix with this video ( [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHuQbh_eS-w&feature=related]YouTube - Fix 3194 and 1015 downgrade iTunes/iPhone error [English][/ame] ).
    Can You please help me?

    There is no unlock for that baseband, there is nothing you can do.

    Nobody knows right now. If I had to guess I would say at least a few months though.
