Unlocking Your iPhone 3G/3GS with the Latest Firmware and Baseband

To unlock your iPhone 3G/3GS with the latest firmware and baseband, you'll need to follow a specific process. This is not a standard jailbreak method, but rather a more complicated approach that involves taking the baseband from an iPad 3G.

Firstly, huge props to the iPhone dev team for finding this solution and coming up with a creative idea. Instead of exploiting standard methods, they've allowed you to take the baseband from an iPad 3G and apply it to your iPhone. This is possible due to the fact that the iPad and iPhone have practically identical parts.

However, there are some cons to consider before proceeding. Firstly, once you unlock your device using this method, there's no way to downgrade to a previous firmware version. If Apple releases updates to the baseband, you won't be able to get them until you're on the latest firmware. This means that if you have issues with your new unlock, you'll be stuck until Apple releases an update.

Another significant downside is that after 4.2.1, you'll never be able to restore to a standard firmware again. Instead, you'll only be able to restore using custom IPSWs with tools like Snowbreeze or Pwnage Tool. This means that if your iPhone gets damaged or you need to factory reset it, you won't be able to do so.

Despite these downsides, this method may be your only option if you're currently locked and need an unlock. So, what do you need to do?

To begin, download the iPad IPSW file from the link provided in the description. It's essential to get this download immediately, as Apple could take it down at any time. Once you have the file, run Pwnage Tool on your Mac.

Pwnage Tool is only available for Mac at the moment, so if you're using a Windows computer, you'll need to wait for Red Snow or other tools to become available. After running Pwnage Tool, install Ultra Snow and follow the instructions.

It's worth noting that there are some things you need to pay attention to when unlocking your device this way. Be sure to check the description for more information on how to proceed.

In summary, unlocking your iPhone 3G/3GS with the latest firmware and baseband involves taking the baseband from an iPad 3G and applying it to your device. While this method may be the only option if you're currently locked, there are some significant downsides to consider before proceeding.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys so today i'm here with yet another state of jailbreak video uh so today i want to go ahead and give you guys a big update the iphone dev team has just released

helpful for a lot of you guys who you know got caught out accidentally upgraded or for whatever reason you know you're you're on a new firmware and new baseband and you cannot unlock however this is going to be a little bit of a different unlock it's not going to be you know just the standard you know jailbreak you know run ultra snow it's going to be a little bit more complicated than that so basically this actually is well huge first of all huge props to the iphone dev team for finding this for coming up with a really cool idea um instead of just you know doing the standard you know finding and exploiting all that kind of good stuff basically they're going to go ahead and allow you to take the base band from the ipad 3g so you can actually go ahead and take that baseband put on your iphone and then on ultra snow kind of sounds crazy but actually will work just fine you don't have to worry about it because they do have practical identical parts but like i said this is going to be a little bit of a different uh unlock so let me go ahead and tell you some of the cons of doing this um the first thing there is not going to be any way to go ahead and downgrade so if there's any kind of new uh updates to the base band that helps you know if you have any issues or whatever you're not going to be able to get them until apple goes ahead and increases the base band uh beyond the current version that you're going to do a little complicated i know so you definitely don't need to be you know you need to be at least fairly you know well versed in base bands and unlocking all that kind of stuff to do this because there are some things you definitely have to pay attention to another thing is is that after 4.2.1 once you do this and you have the unlock you're never going to be able to restore to normal firmware this is going to be a bit of a problem uh you know you can't go ahead and restore to a standard firmware what you'll need to do is you can only restore to custom ipsws using either snowbreeze or i believe snow breeze i'm not 100 sure but i believe it will be snow breeze and at least pwnage tool so that's definitely a fairly big downside however if like i said if you're currently unlocked or you really need to be unlocked uh you know this is probably going to be your only option for the moment um so the way you're going to do this is fairly simple i of course will have all the download links uh everything you need in the description of this video you're going to need to go ahead and download the ipad ipsw file and this is really key you need to download this almost immediately apple could take this down at any time and then you will be pretty much out of luck you won't be able to download the ipad it's w so again go ahead check it out everything is in the description uh download the ipsw file then you're going to need to run pwnage tool now of course punish tool is mac only for the moment so if you do have a windows computer you're going to need to go ahead and wait for red snow now i've heard that redstone will probably be out today so odds are by the time you watch this video i will also have a link to ultra to rather red snow in the description after that you can go ahead and just run them through and then install ultra snow so once you do that it's going to be fairly simple however do keep in mind that there are some fairly big downsides to this so only do this if you absolutely need to have your unlock you know if you're already unlocked and you're not having any issues definitely do not do this you know you just
