These are instructions on how to unlock the iPhone 3G and 3GS using BlackSn0w. To follow these instructions you must be on the 05.11.07 baseband and have already jailbroken.
If you have not already jailbroken it will be easier to follow one of these tutorials which will walk you through both jailbreaking and unlocking. - Windows - Mac
To check your baseband you can follow these instructions.
Lets begin...
Step One Press to launch Cydia from your iPhone Springboard.
Step Two Press to select Manage from the tabs at the bottom of the screen.
Step Three Press the large Sources button.
Step Four Press the Edit button at the top right of the screen.
Step Five Press the Add button at the top left of the screen.
Step Six Input http://www.blackra1n.com as the source address then press the Add Source button. Once Cydia has added the source press the large Return to Cydia button.
Step Seven Press the Done button at the top right of the screen.
Step Eight Press to select blackra1n.com from the list of sources.
Step Nine Press to select blacksn0w from the list of packages.
Step Ten Press the Install button at the top right of the screen.
Step Eleven Press the Confirm button at the top right to begin installation.
Step Twelve Once the unlock has been installed successfully press the large Return to Cydia button.
Step Thirteen Wait a few minutes for your CommCenter to restart and you will now be able to use the SIM card of your choice on your unlocked iPhone!

Phone got stuck in boot mode,my phone is booting mode. IPhone 3g 4.1 Trying to do a restore now. From my experience don't try this!! please help me how to get out for this problem.
the package didnt even tell me that blacksnow is for 3.1.2 im on 5.1 and downloaded it. now my iPhone 3gs 8gb wont get past the apple logo, and when i went into redsnow i tried "just boot" and i tried "jailbreak and install cydia" neither one worked. so there should be specifications INSIDE THE PACKAGE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT IF YOURE ON 5.1 IT WILL KILL YOUR PHONE.

Unfortunately for my iPhone 3G/3.1.3(7E18)/05.11.07/PwnageTool jailbreaked, w your Unlock Wizard (on iTunes 10.1.1) your "iPhone | How to Unlock the iPhone 3G, 3GS Using BlackSn0w" doesn't worked.
Now I have a continually restarting device that never ends starting on.
Can someone help me?, please!
Hey Eduardo! I have had the same problem after trying to unlock using the above method. Here is my iPhone data:
- iPhone Model: 3GS
- Firmware: 3.1.3 (7E18) (previous firmware was 3.1.2)
- Baseband: 05.11.07
- NEW bootrom. Serial number: 5K952...
- Jailbreaked using PwnageTool 3.1.5 (I followed iClarified wizard to select the jailbreaking method)
In order to successfully restore, follow these steps:
1. Turn off your iPhone by holding down both home and power buttons, because sometimes it doesn't shut down by pressing the power button only.
2. Once it is turned off, plug your USB cable into the iPhone connector ONLY.
3. Open up iTunes.
4. Plug your iPhone into your computer WHILE holding down the home button ONLY!
5. Keep holding it down for at least 1 minute (Sometimes it can take up to several minutes. Be patient!) until iTunes will pop up a message telling you it has found an iPhone in restore mode (THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS DFU MODE!).
6. Then restore it with your customized firmware.
...and Voilà! iPhone restored!
Now I have to look for an unlock method other than the one mentioned here.
After several hours searching on the web, It worked for me! I was really desperate until I found this guy who taught me this method: http://gdgt.com/discuss/iphone-3gs-wont-boot-past-apple-logo-4i4/
Hope this helps, dude! :-)
[Help] Have been using 3GS 3.1.3 jailbroaken with Blackr1n with no probs,
till I've desided to unlock it with Blacksn0w....
unlock went Fine - but Wi-Fi is broken ... network reset didnt't help :(
thanks in advance for ANY help
Attention: if you are on 3.1.3 and baseband 05.12.01 you must use this: http://www.crispytech.com/2010/06/22/unlock-iphone-3gs-3g-3-1-3-ultrasn0w-0-93
Otherwise you will be stuck and have to restore your phone. BlackRa1n does not work with 05.12.01 (nor does BlackRa1n RC2)
