The Dev Team just released an update to their UltraSn0w unlock. Unfortunately, this time it’s not as easy as downloading and installing UltraSn0w to unlock the iPhone. Below is a step by step guide to prepare iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3G, 3GS using Reds0w for unlock using Ultrasn0w.

Note : The unlocking tutorial is above.

First we will update the baseband to iPad 06.15 and jailbreak the iPhone with Redsn0w. After the device is jailbroken, we can use Ultrasn0w from Cydia to unlock your iPhone.

Warning :

* There is no way to come back down from 06.15. You will be void your warranty if you do so.

* If a future baseband comes out with a critical fix, you won’t be able to update to it if it remains down in the 05.xx sequence (then again, you wouldn’t update to it if you wanted to keep your unlock anyway).

* Starting with iOS 4.2.1 if you have 06.15 on your iPhone you won’t ever be able to restore to stock firmware (it will fail).  You will need to only restore to custom IPSWs (then again, if you’re unlocker you should already be doing that).

Redsn0w supports :

* iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS on baseband 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, or 05.13.04
* iPhone 4 on baseband 01.59.00

Requirements :

* iPhone 3G/3GS firmware 4.1
* iTunes 10.1
* Redsn0w 0.9.6b5


Note : All download links are at the end of the post.
