Redsn0w (v0.8 I think) to jailbreak. Once you've done it, you will be able to use custom firmware to go to whichever version firmware you like. Using custom doesn't update your baseband, so you will keep 04.26.08 and unlock it with Ultrasnow.
Double check your bootrom version, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be old bootrom (which is needed for custom firmware).
Here's a link for jailbreaking with Redsnow 0.8, you need to download stock 3.0 firmware for the process.
