Iphone Keeps Saying Searching

[BestGamerEver]

So I jailbroked my iphone 3g 3.1.3 and added my Tmoble sim card but it keeps saying searching my base band is 5.15.04

[douflag]

I'm betting it's because the baseband is above 05.13.04. That was the last unlockable version.

[goofball2k]

do you mean 05.13.04?
Is the iphone locked to T-mobile? note that jailbreaking is not equal to unlocking.

[BestGamerEver]

nope the base band is 5.15.04 and I unlocked it with ultrasnow

[goofball2k]

05.15.04 is not unlockable with ultrasn0w

[BestGamerEver]

so how will I unlock it then?

[i.Annie]

Go download fuzzyband in Cydia and see if you can downgrade your baseband.

If fuzzyband says you cannot do it then you'll have to upgrade to 4.2.1, run redsn0w on your phone and upgrade the baseband to the iPad baseband. This will break your GPS.

So try the downgrade option first. If that fails then you can consider using the upgrade baseband option.

is there any other way because my power button doesnt work so there is no way to put my iphone in DFU mode

[i.Annie]

Well did you go try downgrading first? Bc fuzzyband doesn't require any dfu mode

[BestGamerEver]

yea it said its not supported

[i.Annie]

Then unfortunately you'll need to be able to put into dfu mode to upgrade the baseband. There isn't any other way. You'd either use a custom firmware which requires the device to be put in pwned dfu mode or you'd use redsn0w to install the baseband which also needs dfu mode.

So it's either fix the power button or buy another phone unfortunately.
