Posted by rish | Hacks, How to | 8 Comments

iPhone Dev Team’s ultrasn0w 1.2 works well to unlock iPhone 3GS & 3G 4.2.1 if they’re on baseband 06.15.00. You should jailbreak 4.2.1 & update 05.14.02 or 05.15.04 to 06.15.00 baseband in order to get iOS 4.2.1 unlock for 3G and 3GS iPhone versions. We’ve already posted a PwnageTool tutorial for those who want to use PwnageTool 4.1.3 (Mac only). Here is our guide for those Windows and Mac users who want to use redsn0w 0.9.6 Beta 5 to jailbreak and update iPhone 3G and 3GS baseband to 06.15.00:

Before you Begin:

Download iOS 4.2.1 firmware and update iPhone to iOS 4.2.1

Step 1: Launch Redsn0w, click on “Browse” and select the downloaded iOS 4.2.1.

Step 2: 3GS users, Redsn0w will show a dialog box asking if you have new bootrom or old one. Click “Yes” if you have new bootrom iPhone 3GS and click “No” if you have old bootrom version.

Step 3: Redsn0w will show the following options:

Install Cydia
Install custom bundle
Install iPad baseband
Just boot tethered right now
Just enter pwned DFU mode right now

Select “Install Cydia”, that’s obvious of all. Also select “Install iPad baseband” if (and only if) you want to unlock iPhone 3GS or 3G 4.2.1 iOS with ultrasn0w 1.2.

Be sure to read the warning that redsn0w shows when you check the “Install iPad baseband” checkbox.

Step 5: Enter DFU mode, follow on-screen instructions that redsn0w shows.

Ultrasn0w 1.2 Unlock iPhone 3GS, 3G 4.2.1 05.15.04, 05.14.02

Posted by rish | Hacks, How to | 14 Comments

Ultrasn0w 1.2 unlock is now available in Cydia. It comes with bit of twist as it can unlock iPhone 3GS 4.2.1 and iPhone 3G 4.2.1 but can’t unlock 05.15.04 or 05.14.02 baseband. As a workaround, PwnageTool 4.1.3 lets you update iPhone 3GS, 3G to 06.15.00 baseband. Apparently ultrasn0w 1.2 can unlock 06.15.00 that actually is iPad 3.2.2 baseband. First your baseband is updated and then it’s unlocked, that’s as complex as it sounds. You can unlock your devices anyway, here is the guide:

How to Unlock iPhone 3GS, 3G 4.2.1 iOS

Step 1: Jailbreak iPhone 3GS 4.2.1 and also update baseband to 06.15.00 in the process.

Step 2: Run Cydia from SpringBoard.

Step 3: Tap on “Edit”, then hit “Add”, a prompt should appear asking “Enter Cydia/APT URL”.

Step 4: Enter http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com/ and hit “Add Source”, then tap on “Return to Cydia”.

Step 5: Once the process completes, search for ultrasn0w 1.2 in Cydia and install it.

Step 6: After installation, reboot your iPhone. That’s it!

Enjoy your unlocked iPhone.

Posted by rish | Hacks | One Comment

Good news for those who want to unlock iPhone 3GS & 3G on iOS 4.2.1. Ultrasn0w unlock for iOS 4.2.1 could release as soon as this week. However, iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1 users might still have to wait for now. According to Dev Team blog:

After redsn0w is officially released with the new Cydia and kernel patches, we’ll be able to assess the unlock situation. It’s already looking very promising though, so expect the unlock for the 3G and 3GS to be coming this week. The i4 unlock is taking more effort though, and no further concrete info is available about that yet.

This also confirms the release of redsn0w 0.9.6 beta 4, that will jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on all iDevices. However, it could be tethered jailbreak for now.
