Alright, first make a folder on the desktop. In it, you will need a couple of things. The two bootloader files:

here.
You will also need the 3.1.3 iPhone firmware.
3.1.3 (2G):

Step FourSelect your iPhone or iPod from the three devices shown. Notice a large checkmark appears over the selected device. Then click the blue arrow button at the bottom right.

Browse for IPSW... button.

Click to select the found IPSW file, a checkmark will appear next to it. Then click the blue arrow button to continue.

***If the Enable Baseband checkbox is not greyed out, checkmark it. This will allow the unlock to occur!***
***For the 3.0 firmware you may have to increase the size of your root partition slightly for the IPSW build to be successful. 590MB worked just fine for me***
In the
Bootneuter settings, click Neuter bootloader, Unlock baseband, and Auto-Delete BootNeuter.app. It is not necessary to upgrade the bootloader unless you are really feeling the need to be on 4.6. Click the blue arrow button to continue.

The
Cydia settings menu allows you to create custom packages so you do not have to manually install the necessary them later.

Click to select the
Download packages tab. Then click the
Refresh button to display all the available packages. Double clicking the package you want will download it and make it available in the

Step SevenYou are now ready to build your custom firmware. Click the build button to select it, then click the blue arrow button.
Step EightIf this is the first time doing this, you will be asked to upload the 3.9 and 4.6 BL files. When prompted to search the web, click no.

You will prompted to browse for the 3.9BL file. Click
Yes then select the file(BL-39.bin) from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop and click the
Open button.

Select the file in the Pwnage folder on your desktop and click the
Open button.
Do the same for 4.6.


***: After loading the 4.6 BL you may be asked if you're a legit user. If you legally have ATT or an iPhone plan in a different country, clicking yes will not unlock the iPhone and activate it as your legal plan already activates it and there is no need for an unlock. However if you wish to keep the iPhone unlocked, when asked if you're a legit iPhone user, click no
Step NineAfter both are found. You will be asked to save your custom .ipsw file. Save it to your Pwnage folder on the desktop.
Step TenYour custom IPSW is now being built. Please allow up to 10 minutes.

If prompted enter your Administrator password and click the
OK button.

When prompted if your iPhone has been Pwned before, we clicked No. It allows for a more thorough restore.

You will be asked to turn off the device. Make sure it is connected to the USB port.
Step ElevenBe ready to follow directions now. It will ask you to hold the home button and the power button for 10 seconds. Then, you will have to release the power button and hold the home button for 10 seconds to enter DFU.



If you fail, it will show you a message. Click Yes. Unplug the iPhone from the USB. Turn it off, then turn it back on. Plug it back into the USB and turn off the iPhone when prompted.

When done correctly, Pwnage 3.1.5 will display a message telling your that it successfully entered DFU mode. iTunes will also pop-up.
