Thanks for replaying:

5.13.04 4.0/4.0.2/4.0.3 yes (Ultrasn0w)

with this baseband do I need to upgrade my firmware to 4.0/4.0.2/4.0.3 and than install ultrasn0w by using Cydia, correct?

Can you please advise me how to do this?

much appreciated!!

[Simon]

Nope you dont need to update. You can just use rednow 0.9.4 to jailbreak and then install ultrasnow from cydia.

[mastro]

I did that but Cydia crash as soon as I open it..I'v tried to delete the fils in /root/private/var/lib/apt/lists/ except for the partial subfolder, but don't have any files in there to delete, any idea?

MAny Thanks again...

Try restoring to 3.1.3 and doing the process again.

[mastro]

Unfortunately, same result...Cydia is crushing...

[Simon]

Are you restoring a backup after everytime you restore?

[mastro]

I restore every time with Itune the 3.1.3 firmware (in this case) that I have downloaded from the net and than jailbreak with Redsnow, not sure what you mean with back up?

[Simon]

I just mean your backup from itunes. It doesnt sound like you are though. Do you have a official sim to activate or are you hacktivating each time.

[mastro]

I'm hacktivating each time, I'm on o2 but the phone is locked on 3G.

[Simon]

Not sure then why your cydia keeps crashing. If you want you can go to a 4.2.1 custom firmware with no baseband update in it. If you dont have access to a Mac just PM me and I can give you one.

Could you send it to me please:

cydia apparently crashs on all the older os's unless you use jailbreakme on an already activated phone, im on tmobile and for my 2g and 3g on 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 i had to redsnow to hactivate the phone then use jailbreakme right after to make cydia work. not sure if thats bad for the phone or not seeing as my 3gs updated and crashed atm on the ipad baseband... but my 2gs been like that since jailbreakme came out and it still working just fine.
