MuscleNerd has announced that an upcoming update to RedSn0w will resolve issues for those who were unable to downgrade from the iPad baseband.

ok, figured out why some 3GS phones refuse the iPad downgrade! Can fix that after receiving another loaner (delivery expected on Thurs)

it's due to variations in the NOR chip. The payload can be changed to handle the differences but I need one in hand to test

You can get more information about downgrading your iPhone 3GS from the iPad baseband for unlock here. Tutorial instructions can be found here: Windows, Mac.

There are so many bugs in the latest version is crazy. Mostly minor, however the one that really frustrates me is when trying to downgrade the baseband on a device that is already jailbroken, or when updating an older device from say 4.3.3 to 5.1.1 then updating to 06.15.00 to then downgrade again to 05.13.04. Way to much work just to get around the errors about the device already jailbroken using raccoon.

Ya so from what ive seen this will not work on 8gb 3gs, 16gb and 32gb 3gs will work fine, but honestly it doesn't at all matter if your baseband is 6.15 or 5.13 unless your using outside the US, then maybe you might have an issue. For T-mobile USA and simple mobile your can download the beta.leimobile.com/repo/ repo to your sources in cydia, install the correct mms fix (installing twice may be required) and edit your APN settings with epc.tmobile.com or simple (internet2 or voicestream APNs are no longer valid and will not allow mms). Your mms and gps should function perfectly fine after that (this also applies to gevey or factory 4/4S users - 4S will require adding the edit APN tweak from leimobile) but honestly why hasn't the dev team put more focus into the iphone 4 baseband downgrade, 3gs users have had 6.15 this whole time, iphone 4 owners are fucked with 04.11.08/04.12.01, great work and very much appreciated, but 6.15 baseband downgrade doesn't exactly solve any unlocking issues.
