Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

how do I tell what firmware and what bootloader version I have?

Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

firmware is the os goto settings>general>about and scroll to verison!
for ur bootloader i use a program from cydia serching called fuzzyband!!

Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

I thought it had to be jailbroken to use cydia? if not, how to I install cydia?

Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

ur right u do have to be jailbroken to use cydia!! well all i did was rebuilt a ipsw(3.1.2) for a 3gs with blckrain cooked in and restored it via itunes (shift + tap restore )

Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

what?

sorry im really new with iphone, I can cook a sick custom rom, but i have no clue what you just said.

Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

google is ur best frined!(no pun intended) im new to this to but my google-fu is impeckable!!

on topic the reson u cannot unlock ur iphone 3gs with a offical update via itunes is because that update also includes baseband 5.12.01 and bootloader 6.04 whice at this time cannot be unlovked or downgraded!!

however u can still jailbreak the device and downgrade ur os firmware!!

my "modem firmware" is 5.12.01. this means I can't unlock it for Tmo yet right?

Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

I know but there are SO MANY things in google I'm worried if I try the wrong thing I'll brick it, I tend to trust PPCGers more.

Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

so far thats correct u cannot unlock yet!! now i have someones 3gs and all they call do is use it as a touch ! thats what they get for not following my directions(and updating even tho i told them not to)

My question to everyone here am i wrong for keeping the money they paid for me unlocking the device!! it worked and then they f`ed it up by undating!!

i feel u i only trust here and xda and that person that posted has to have some type of rep before i try it!! also if said person joined that same month and put out something super fresh i damn sure wont try it!!
post me some thinks if i helped u out!!

Re: can you unlock 3.1.3?
 

Hell no, he should have listened to you, maybe when the 5.12.01 is released charge him half price :)


well I guess I have an ipod touch till they release the unlocker for me, I guess I can go ahead and jailbreak it and download some apps and use wifi on it till i can unlock it. It's a very good condition 8/10 3G 16GBs I got from someone for $250 so I'm still pretty pleased with my purchase even though the baseband was updated.


I hit you with 3 thanks, appreciate it, sorry if I'm posting things I could find on google, I just tend to trust (as you pointed out) a PPCG'er who's also a VIP over anyone on google, just like if you wanted advice on unlocking and flashing a custom ROM on your diamond you'd probably take my advice over some random dude.
