  1. Thanks Dev Team !!!

    i-Phone 3G iOS 4.2.1 with 05.15.04 was ULOCKED ;)

    Just change Baseband ( Modem Firmware ) from 05.15.04 to 06.15.00 !!!

    Thanks – thank – thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. After of hours searching finally i founds thisss, its working i changed form baseband 05.15.04 to 06.15.00 and works perfectly thnx a lot. great job guyssss

    1. glad to know that it worked for you! why really found it after hours of searching?? aww! can I know the keywords you used to search for it and which page did you find the post.

  3. I successfully unlocked but now how do I get my phone restored from backup done prior to upgrade, Options in itunes says setup new iphone or restore ? What do I use/ Thanks,

  4. OMG – finally I am sorted…. yay!! thank you so much, I upgraded the software by accident today…I managed the jailbreak but then couldnt unlock, Ive spend hours trying to find a solution and bingo..thanks again.

  5. I keep having errors like this when I’m doing this

    6. enter http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com as source url and press add source button (Note: ultrasn0w includes a letter 0 (zero) not alphabet o).

    —what seems to be the problem? what should I do with this error saying…:

    the indicated repository could not be found. this could be because you are trying to add a legacy installer repository (these are noy supported). also, this interface ids only capable of working with exact repository URLs. If you host a repository and are having issues please contact the author of cydia with any questions you have.

    please help me with this guys…

  6. Hello again,

    I tried other repo addresses but didn’t work as well.

    I also noticed that wifi, safari and other apps don’t work anymore after I upgraded my bb to 6.15

    :(

  7. Hi Nabeel! Thanks so much, trying it without wifi now although I have to find out how to do the SSH thing still.

    And yes wifi is on and connected..

    1. btw, did you see “Activate your iPhone” message in iTunes before jailbreaking it? you should have tried activation fix first before jailbreaking in my opinion (not very sure)

  8. I have added the DEB file correctly but when I tried to open Cydia, I couldn’t locate ultrasn0w from the packages…

  9. yes Nabeel..went directly to Cydia.. then Manage->Packages but there is no any ultrasn0w showing..

    How do i know if my Cydia’s working by the way? because when I select Cydia icon at the bottom it doesn’t show anything too but continues to just Load..

      1. I tried everything and still my iphone 3g isn’t unlocked. Now it doesn’t power on. It hangs up showing the apple icon and for minutes it will reboot and hang up again showing the apple icon. What should I do? It doesn’t power on…

        1. hmmm…. this means the os is corrupted and needs you to reinstall the iOS. . .

          You should probably take it to some shop or experienced person to fix it in person.

  10. Followed all the steps, upgraded the baseband, installed and ran ultrasn0w. Rebooted once and then re-started.

    Safari working (wifi), but cannot connect to any mobile phone networks. Any ideas?

  11. u guys rock!!!!……thanks!!!….. ur the best!!..it takes time and patience to do it…(several times by the way)..needed practice here..lol!!…but at the end its worth!!

  12. Hi Nabeel!

    Thank You for these tools. Everything is working including the GPS. Was a tad confusing but in the end worth the struggle. I am going to up Your fund with $4 this weekend as it saved me $8. :D

    Have fun!

      1. No, I have still 1 day until weekend. :)

        > I am going to up Your fund with $4 this weekend
        > as it saved me $8. :D

        They’ll be there.
        Take care and Thank YOU!

        BTW, my iPhone 3G seem a lot faster now. Wonder if it was the unlock or carrier switch.

  13. Ha ha… no problems, I still had 1 day until weekend. :)

    > I am going to up Your fund with $4 this weekend
    > as it saved me $8. :D

    They’re there now.
    Take care and Thank YOU!

    BTW, my iPhone 3G seem a lot faster now. Wonder if it was the unlock or carrier switch.

    As for the rest of the people here; If You got help — which You should if You followed the supplied instructions — I think You should go to great lengths in order to support Nabeel’s project.

    Live well!
