no prob

Hello,
Mine is 3G 4.1, BB 05.14.02 Bl 6.04
I realize it's too risky for unlock using BB 06.15.00,
If there is any solution even it's hardware unlocking please let me know.

[Simon]

Only way to unlock that right now is 6.15 BB

[i.Annie]

Or buy a factory unlocked phone hardware unlocks are just not plausible at the moment if ever.

[Simon]

Yup, factory unlocked will save you a lot of headaches.

I need help jailbreaking and unlocking my phone.

iPhone 3G
Firmware : 4.1 (8B117)
Baseband : 06.15.00
originally Jailbroken using redsn0w

I jailbroke someones phone last month with redsnow 0.9.6b5 and unlocked using ultrasnow, and that made it a 4.2.1 ipad baseband. All worked fine no problems. A few days ago the person brough the phone back in recovery mode. Says she did nothing but charge the phone then the connect to itunes sign came up.

I restored and couldnt get it to come off of recovery. Eventually I used tinyumbrealla, and a few other things and managed to get it back down to a 4.1 with the 06.15.00.
Well now i am tring to re-jailbreak and unlock and have tried about 3 different ways to do it. Everytime the program starts the jailbreak the screen on the phone just turns white then black but its on and stuck. I never see the little hard drive using resnow, or anything. When the program says done the phone just gets stuck and i have to either kick it out of recovery or manually restart. and it is never re jailbroken.

so right now its just regular, I need it unlocked to use tmobile chip and it is originally a AT&T.

Somebody please help

The last resnow I used was the 096b6 and no results same white screen no logos or nothing.

Thanks for any insight to this!

Are you running redsnow in windows xp sp2 compatibility mode?

[goldie737]

I don't know where do I view this info

[Simon]

What version of windows are you running this on?

[goldie737]

Running win XP home on a toshiba mini

[Simon]

Ok, then you dont need to do what I said as you are on xp. Do you have another computer you can try this on?

[goldie737]

no i don't have another computer. Its odd, i have jailbroken dozens of phones with this computer and all the different programs, i think that 06.19.00 baseband is making this impossible is there another way i can try this or which jailbreak do you recommend?

i am running

Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

Toshiba CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz 0.99GB of RAM

[Simon]

Does the iPhone have 4.1 SHSH?

[goldie737]

i look for that on tiny umbrella right
it says iphone 3g 4.1 (8b117)-23032116956905
also has 4.0
4.0.1
4.0.2
4.2.1
4.2b3.
I dont really know how to use tiny umbrella but i hit save shsh and thats everything its showing.

[Simon]

You may want to try downgrading to 3.1.3 and giving redsnow 0.9.4 or jailbreakme.com a go at jailbreaking. 3.1.3 will run better on iPhone 3G anyway.

[goldie737]

sounds good to me, how do i downgrade to a 3.1.3???

[Simon]

Download 3.1.3 firmware. Put the iphone in dfu. Shift restore to the 3.1.3. When you get the 1015 error use tiny umbrella to exit recovery. Then you can use redsnow 0.9.4 (you will also need the 3.1.2 firmware if you use this) or jailbreakme.com to jailbreak.

It's not necessary for this but I think this would help us all in the MMi community. Before posting, please consider including the following information so that the helpful people of MMi can diagnose/fix your problem easier so that we don't have to ask you a million questions before we get to the point

I'll also include some links and instructions that will help you help us help you

1) tell us what specific device you have (ie iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, iPod Touch 2g, 3g, 4g, etc)

2) tell us what firmware you are currently on (ie 3.1.x, 4.0.x, 4.x etc)

3) tell us if you need to unlock or not (if you do, report the baseband/modem firmware your device is currently on)

4) tell us if you've got any SHSHs saved (or if you have ever clicked "make my life easier" in Cydia/if you've used TinyUmbrella before)

5) If you have a 3GS, tell us if it is an old or new boot device.

Those are the basics.

1) To find out what firmware you are on, go to Settings>General>About (it is labeled as "Version").

2) To find out what baseband/modem firmware, in Settings>General>About scroll to the very bottom and view "Modem Firmware".

3) To find the above info #1 and #2 if you DON'T have access to your springboard, click here and download F0recast. Run the program and find firmware and baseband version.

4) For 3GS users, to find out what iBoot you have (old or new) follow this guide:

click here

5) To find out what SHSHs you have saved, click here and download TinyUmbrella (right panel download links). Click Save SHSHs and view the log below to see what TU was able to pull from Saurik's server.

6) You may also see what SHSHs are saved if you have access to your springboard and Cydia. Check Cydia's homepage on the top, it is in green letters.

7) Understanding if you can or cannot unlock: if your baseband is either 2.10.xx and up or 5.14.02 and up, you cannot unlock. If you are a 3G/3GS user, you can only unlock if you update the baseband to 6.15.00 (iPad baseband) which should be deeply considered before doing this. iPhone 4 users with the 2.10.xx baseband and up cannot unlock at all right now.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading and thanks for helping us help you better

Nobody knows, but it isnt looking like it will be anytime soon.

[kcsunil100]

Oh I see, but as per news spread over other website that after IOS 4.3 is released then unlock for ipphone 4 with BB 03.10.01 will be release immediately, is that not true?
