Ultrasn0w is a full fledged software unlock solution for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS having baseband version 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04 or 06.15.00 and iPhone 4 having baseband version 01.59.00 (check Modem Firmware version under Settings –> General –> About). Unlocking the phone enables you to use it with any carrier in the world.

This means if you have older firmware, you can now upgrade to a stock 4.2.1, jailbreak using redsn0w or upgrade to a custom 4.2.1 using Pwnage Tool and still have the ability to remain unlocked.

Ingredients:

  • A jailbroken iPhone 3G/3GS having baseband version 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04 or 06.15.00
  • A jailbroken iPhone 4 having baseband version 01.59.00
  • Cydia
  • Wi-Fi and Internet access on the device.
  • Ultrasn0w Cydia Repo (add https://rep0666.ultrasn0w.com/ with the help of this How To)
