The last version that is redsn0w 0.9.6rc19 doesnt have an option to select to "upgrade ipad baseband". Also redsn0w 0.9.6rc16 has a option but it cannot fetch the ipad baseband? Any help? My phone is running on 4.3.3 and has baseband 5.16.02. I have to upgrade baseband to 06.15 to unlock.

Same here: iPhone 3GS, built on week 21/2010, iOS 4.3.3 non-jailbroken, baseband 05.16.02. Need to upgrade to ipad baseband (even with the downsides), so I can unlock it. Which version of redsn0w should I use to accomplish both jailbreak and upgrade baseband? Thanks in advance.

Hi , I have a 3GS. It was with 4.2.1 I have upgrade to ipad BB to unlock it. Now I have decided to upgrade to 4.3.3 as it is untethered jailbreak. I created a custom firmware using sn0wbreeze and restore via itunes. I got errors like 3128, 600x and finally i got a 1015 error. After this my iphone is always in DFU mode (Black screen). Now if i tried with a 4.2.1 firmware i got the error 28 and if I try with 4.3.3 i am getting 600x error. The phone is always in black screen. If i used the fixrecovery4.3 , it is not doing anything and if i use fixrecovery4.2.1 i got a bright lcd screen and agin it went to black screen. Please let me know ho to solve this?

Hi I have a 3GS with OS 4.01 and BB 5.13.04 which is unlocked and JB. Can somebody please help me on what are the step to be followed so that it wont upgrade to BB 6.15 and gets JB. Thanks in advance

Yea will this ever get fixed?

Yep, still appears to be a broken link :(

hey guys my redsnow app freezes when i choose it is older model of 3gs .... then a error msg comes "unexpected error occured " som1 help mee ....

Hi, I have a 3GS with baseband 5.14 and 4.1 os. I restored to the latest 4.3 as mentioned in the article in iclarified to unlock. However it was asking me to insert a valid sim to activate. I dont have an ATT SIM. I was using this phone just using Wifi and am in a different country. The restore didnt make any mention of having a valid SIM inserted. I was able to restore by following the procedure but not checking the update ipad baseband. Then I used itunes to get the backup file I had created. A few questions: So, once I update to 6.15 baseband, can I still restore using the same backup? Or do I need to store a custom IPSW and if so how do I do it? Can I still unlock if I dont have an ATT sim? thanks kapil

Unfortunately I didnt get any direct help. But from reading a some guess work I finally got this unlocked. Followed the above procedure to get jailbroken and cydia first. Then updated the ipad baseband. When updating kept an ATT card inside(got it from a colleague as I am not in US) Its now unlocked. 2 issues: GPS works sometimes. Its not unusable, but not accurate either and sometimes doesnt work. The battery drains very quickly (need to recharge every night)

its doesn't need to use ATT sim cards. ato Redsn0w remember chose "install Cydia" & " ipad basemand" it will ulock your iphone, n ipad basemand use for unlock your carrier ( at cydia search ultrasn0w for unlock carrier) hope it will help.

If i update through iTunes , does my baseband change? I have iPhone 3GS, 4.0.1 ; baseband 05.13.04

my iphone 3gs was updated to 4.3.3 with baseband 05.16.02, after jailbroken there are no signal for the network, what can i do except changing the baseband to ipad version?

you should "install ipad basemand" after that at cydia search "ultrasn0w" to unlock your carrier.

I HAVE IPHONE 3GS OLD BOOTROM IM USING NON OFFICIAL NETWORK AND DEPEND ON UNLOCK... MY IPHONE VERSION WAS 3.1.3. I RESTORED IT TO 4.3.3 LAST NIGHT...

Hi, I have jailbroken and inlocked my iphone 3GS using readsn0w. Now the version is 4.2.1 with baseband 06.15.00. Now can I upgrade the OS version? Please let me know if there are any tutorials.. Regards Siva G

I was able to get it to work. I have a iPhone 3GS updated with 4.3.3 firmware and base band of 05.16.02. If you plan to unlock, you will have to intall the 06.15.00 base band first. I would recommend doing so locally (http://www.beijingiphonerepair.com/hack/fetch-or-download-ipad-baseband-6-15-00-without-internet-connection-local-computer/). After that is complete, then proceed to the jailbreak steps. It took my two weeks to figure it out and 10 minutes to actually jailbreak and unlock the iPhone.

Hi Ashish, Did you need the ATT SIm card to unlock? Also, if something goes wrong what are the steps to restore your iphone to a working condition even if its still locked?

thanks guys, just it. luck for you all :D

i tried restoring to 4.3.3 but some error messages are displayed, earlier upgraded 3gs to 4.2.1. now its not happening, can anyone help

During the process, redsnow keeps crashing on the final part of the jailbreak. It crashes while it uploads the RAN disk. My iphone shows the "dwonloading jailbreak data" screen. Anyone can help me? best

I am having the same problem. Pls let me know if you get an answer.

what i can do if i already updated to 4.3.3 and i need to unlock the phone without changing to ipad baseband?

THAT IS WHATS EXACTLY HAPPENS TO ME MY MOBILE IS STUCK ON LOCK SCREEN I CANT EVEN RESTORE BECAUSE MY BASEBAND IS NOW 16.00 PLEASE TELL ME AS U GET RID OF IT

I have a iPhone 3GS with 4.3.3 firmware and 15.16.02 baseband. I have tried to jailbreak but it does not work. I understand that the only way to jailbreak and unlock is to upgrade to 06.15 baseband. I have tried that in Windows using RedSn0w but it freezes after putting the iPhone in DFU mode. What can I do to fix this problem?

i am stuck at step 2. Error message is error 1394. why is this so? i followed the steps.

That is because you have cydia host entry. close itunes and then open host file in note pad and delete Gsm. Apple line. save it and start itunes. job done

I have an Iphone 3GS just wondering if I download the Firmware "4.3.3 (3GS): iPhone2,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw" from iclarified "https://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750" will it update my Modem Firmware also? my current Modem Firmware is 5.12.01

Ofcouse ... Ull Shift to16.15.02

For doing this, You must use iTunes 10.2.2

what options do i have running a bb of 4.10.01 and firmware 4.3.3? can this phone be jailbroken. Do i need to upgrade or is it possible to upgrade to a different bb to allow the phone to be jailbroke? Tried using redsnow but it doesn't complete... freezes at ..limera1

Hi, last week I tried jailbreaking and it suceed. Unfortunately i couldn't get a cellular reception anymore. My 3gs unit is network unlocked so i have tried to restore my network setting, it doesn't work either. Any tool or software's out there could help me out?

Can someone please tell us if this JB is tethered or untethered?!

most of you all end having the same problem! Try doing some reading before you update and unlock!!!

dear guys, my iphone was 3GS with FW 4.0.2 and BB was 05.13. succesfully upgrade to iOS 4.3.3 as instructed but when it's uploading ramdisk into my iphone, the final result was error. "Error, no succsessful firmware download after 60000 ms!! giving up..." is there any miss step I made before? really need your advice to bring up my iphone back :(

Horrible Or NO GPS!!! I have a 3GS on 4.3.3 with baseband 05.16.0 and have successfully jailbroken it 3x's now. The issue is GPS. Prior to the JB is works persice on all apps (Navigon/GoogleMaps etc) but after the JB Navigon cannot give me a location at all and GoogleMaps is a good 5 miles away. I start my day in this location all the time and have never had GPS issues here before. Suggestions?

Dude are you aware that if u upgrade to Ipad BB some iphone will lose GPS functionality?

But I don't have iPad baseband - I dont need to unlock just jailbreak

Hi there, Could some some please explain how come I do not get to see the "iPhone2,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw" after downloading the link. All I get is a zipped folder and after unzipping still I do not see any .ispw file Please ADVISE!

Go to folder options in control panel and under view tab uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" hit apply. Then open pwnage folder on desktop and rename file to "iPhone2,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw" by removing the .zip ext. Now itunes will see it..

I finally used redsn0w rc16 (following the manual in iClarified) and also ultrasnow 1.2.3. for updating from 4.01 to 4.3.3. It seemed everything went fine but... once restarted my iPhone didn't find any carrier! My Baseband was 05.13.04 and now has been updated to 05.16.02. I tried to restore my iPhone but, sadly it didn't work and it keeps searching for a carrier with no success... I can't make or receive any call! Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

You did not preserved your BB while updating..JB again and used option Install Ipad BB 06.15.00 and unlocked with Ultrasnow, 05.16.02 is not supported with ultrasnow btw!

Many thanks for your advice! Shall I JB again with redsnow or with snowbreeeze?

just use redsnow :)

Simply redo the process and install ipad baseband 06.15. And chill out. Ultrasnow ultrasnow ultrasnow

Hi, I have a 3GS with baseband 5.14 and 4.1 os. I restored to the latest 4.3 as mentioned in the article to unlock. However it is now asking me to insert a valid sim to activate. I dont have an ATT SIM. I was using this phone just using Wifi and am in a different country. Can I still go ahead with the next steps and have my phone unlocked and usable? Right now its completely unusable after the restore! The restore didnt make any mention of having a valid SIM inserted. thanks

OK, I was able to restore by following the procedure but not checking the update ipad baseband. Then I used itunes to get the backup file I had created. So, once I update to 6.15 baseband, can I still restore using the same backup? Or do I need to store a custom IPSW and if so how do I do it? thanks

I do not obtain to advance. I arrive at it I finish step in the screen of the PC where it shows to the message & quot; Uploading ramidisk& quot; e iPhone shows & quot; Downloanding Jailbreak dates & quot; , but it stops there, does not advance. please somebody helps me

I upgraded to 4.3.2 successfully after a couple of attempts. Now my iphone doesn't join any cellphone network and searching is set to automatic without possibility of changing it to manual. Please advice. Thanks

I have the same problem! How could you solve it? Thanks in advance!

I have iPhone 3GS, running iOS 4.0.1, Modem Firmware 05.13.04. My serial number is 86928.... so I am guessing its Old bootrom. Can I use Redsnow to Jailbreak my phone to run iOS 4.3.2 and is there an unlock available? And will my modem firmware baseband be updated to something from which I wouldnt be able to unlock or is there an unlock available? Please help

HI, why don't you read about sn0wbreeze, it preserves the baseband and it's safer for Windows, I JB and unlocked my 3GS new bootroom succesfully and it was not that hard... even I had to use 06.15 bb (ipad)... here's the link I used to that,http://ih8sn0w.com/index.php/welcome.snow you can do a custom IPSW WHICH WILL PRESERVE your BaseBand and won't be a problem to unlock, then you can use ultrasnow from cydia! then if you have push notification problems, as I did, you can download from cydia SAM ACTIVATION, read about it :) Unlockable BB's iPhone 3G and 3GS users: 04.26.xx, 05.11.xx, 05.12.xx, 05.13.xx and 06.15.xx (iPad BB). so be careful and don't lose your bbb! :) read dev-team blog very helpfull people who responds right away!

Is sn0wbreeze safe.. can u confirm whethere i have to update baseband or not. i am confused by your reply.

Hi, I'm getting a 1015 error. (reposting as previous post was garbaged up) Current config: 3GS, Firmware 06.15.00, Version 4.2.1 (8C148a), unlocked, T-Mobile, JB using redsn0w, windows. I tried to install the new: iPhone2,1_4.3.2_8H7_Restore.ipsw by going into iTunes and doing a Shift + Restore, and selecting the ipsw. It went much of the way then died with 1015 error. I've tried: - Using redsn0w and JB'ing but it fails with 1015 - Reloading the iPhone2,1_4.2.1_8C148a_Restore.ipsw using the same procudure above, but still getting 1015. Before I try restoring to factory 4.3.2 and losing everything, could someone suggest other workarounds?? Thank you Jake

when i updated from 4.2.1 to 4.3.1 i had troubles as i was already using the 6.15 basebane. Itunes wont restore your phone if you have upgraded your baseband to 6.15... You need to use a custom firmware from snowbreeze i think, i honestly cant remember though, hope that helped a little

http://hotfile.com/dl/117201904/ac59ddd/sn0wbreeze-v2.7.1.zip.html Then after snowbreeze you need to use redsnow, and then you downoad ultrasnow from cydia if needed.
