Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 Released To Unlock iPhone 4, 3GS On iOS 5 (HOW TO)

by Ahmed Omar on October 14, 2011

As promised, the iPhone Dev Team today released Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 which brings iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS unlock on iOS 5. Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 doesn’t support any new baseband. Only user who rely on unlock on iOS 4.x.x can now update to iOS 5 and keep their unlock. Few steps below to get Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 working with you.


Supported basebands:

  • 01.59.00
  • 04.26.08
  • 05.11.07
  • 05.12.01
  • 05.13.04
  • 06.15.00

In case you’re on iPhone 4 on baseband 01.59.00, you’ll need to preserve your iPhone 4 baseband to prevent upgrading to higher baseband in order to get your unlock on iOS 5. Follow our guide posted here to do so.

Now, let’s do the unlock.

Unlock iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS On iOS 5

STEP 1: You’ll need to jailbreak your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS using Redns0w with out guide posted here.

STEP 2: Once jailbroken, head to Cydia -> Manage -> Sources.

STEP 3: Now tap on Edit -> Add then write down the following repo: http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com.

STEP 4: After adding the repo, search in Cydia for Ultrans0w and you’ll tap on it then hit install.

After a respring and a tethered boot, you’ll get your iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS unlocked. Let us know in case you need any help.

Notes from the iPhone Dev Team about iPhone 3GS on the iPad baseband 06.15.00:

Note: there’s a special “trick” that iPhone3GS owners with baseband 06.15 need for iOS5. During the new setup screens you see when you start iOS5 for the first time, you’ll be asked about Location Services. Be sure to select “Disable Location Services” when asked! Later on in the setup, you’ll have the chance to turn on Location Services again when asked if you want to use “Find my iPhone”. It’s fine to turn it back on at that point, if that’s your desire (or you can always go in and enable it in Settings.app).

[...]

Also, some iPhone3GS users with the 06.15 baseband may have tried to install iOS5 using a stock IPSW (even though you should never ever try to use a stock IPSW if you’re an ultrasn0w unlocker). If you did try this, your baseband is probably in an inconsistent state, and you’ll need to reflash the 06.15 baseband again (using redsn0w). Be very careful if you use redsn0w to reflash the iPad baseband — don’t interrupt the process! And please avoid using stock IPSWs in the future :) Unlockers should never go near stock IPSWs.

In case you’re on a higher baseband and need to use Gevey SIM on iOS 5, you’ll need to follow our guide posted here.

UPDATE: Here’s a video guide showing how to preserve iPhone 4 baseband using Redsn0w custom IPSW:

    do i net a compatible SIM card to start activation?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    im a 3gs ipad bb user, i did the trick and the unlock work fine, but when i re enabled the location services, all networks keep disconnecting / connecting frequently , any help?
    ps:i jailbreaked it by using sno0wbreze not redsnow if that matters, and i have unthreaded jailbreak coz im old boot rom , also i noticed that after installing ultrasn0w the safari icon become white !

  • Myfairytale83

    but you did you need a compatible SIM card to finish the installation of IOS5?

  • Didiarz

    nice news

  • Sabby_coolguy

    i hav updated iphone 3gs to ios5 but ultrasnow 1.2.4 not works help me guys………it searching all the time…….

  • Master of Disaster

    NO! That’s NOT right! Your Guide is WRONG!!
    When you upgrade to IOS 5, you have to be ENSURE, that your NOT upgrading the baseband!

    So you have to add a STEP 0 (zero): How to update to IOS WITHOUT upgrading the baseband!

  • Haspac2

    Hello, what about the 04.10.01 baseband? Is there. Solution?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

  • http://www.facebook.com/kszabi Luvstruck Szabi

    Successfully unlocked iPhone 3GS with 06.15.00 baseband. But, now, i’m losing carrier and wifi signal at the same time. I can’t call, it’s interrupting everytime. with previous iOS 4.3.3 i never had this problem.

  • http://www.facebook.com/kszabi Luvstruck Szabi

    I had the same issue. You need to update to ipad baseband again with redsn0w.

  • Myfairytale83

    maybe you didnt use a custom ipsw and updated your baseband

  • Myfairytale83

    ahhhh thanks :)

  • Jay Greenslade

    I completed the jailbreak and preserved my baseband to 01.59.00, and then activated the phone, but Cydia is not present on the device. What can I do??

  • digvijay kalekar

    I had a iphone 3gs on software version 3.1.3. It was a locked phone purchased from apple store and I unlocked it successfully with the procedures available on internet. Used it for about an year with no problem. Recently I used the itunes to upgrade it to the latest software version 5.0. Now when i connect it to the itunes it shows that no SIM detected ( i am not using any SIM as I don;t have the compatible SIM) and it stucks on ‘Activation Failed’ screen. Please help me how do I jailbreak and unlock the phone. I have a windows PC.

    You can’t do nothing… What’s your baseband?

  • Edgarcataronganjr

    what version of redsnow should i use to reflash my bb? please help….. :(

  • Myfairytale83

    you have to use snowbreeze and the expert mode, there you can click general and then choose “hacktivation” and make a custom ipsw. afterwards use this ipsw to restore

  • http://www.facebook.com/kszabi Luvstruck Szabi

    0.9.9b4 or higher (for iOS 5)

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    i have the same problem,to fix it keep your location service off , until a solution came out

  • Edgarcataronganjr

    thanks man

  • Rst1123

    Should I preserve my baseband before updating to IOS 5?
    I’m on a 4G and my baseband is : 04.10.01
    Cheers!

  • Edgarcataronganjr

    who have another solutions? please help

  • btbias

    How did you do this? I don’t see the iPad Baseband option in any of the more current redsn0w versions…

  • Davidcuchillas

    Hello, I have a 3gs (old bottom) at iPad BB. What I need to do is to create a custom ipsw on redsnow (to preserve baseband) then dfu, then update through iTunes with the new NO_BB ipsw created by redsnow right? Then jailbreak with redsnow, and install ultrasnow, right?
    Will I need a compatible sim in order to go through the activation? Or It will work with my non-official sim? thanks

  • Sotmax

    You should boot tethered

  • rizwan patel

    hello please help

    plaease advice thanks

  • Jay Greenslade

    Tried this but it makes no difference. Any other ideas?

  • Drscmoreira

    Baseband 4.11.04, when?

  • Myfairytale83

    for windows:
    use snowbreeze and enter the expert mode, there you can click general and then choose “hacktivation” and make a custom ipsw (its always with preservation of your baseband). afterwards use this created ipsw to restore. then you need no compatible SIM and can unlock via cydia => ultrasnow

  • Thedorian

    How the hell Im suppose to reinstal Ipad Baseband if new redsn0w doesnt have that option and older versions do not support iOS 5??!!!

  • modeminho

    yup ! location services are resetting the baseband 06.15.00 on the 3gs.

  • MS

    Download a new version of redsnow, it has it in extra’s and you don’t have to do anything. It will do itself

  • Dcuchillas

    In order to kailbreak with redsnow, do i point it out to the stock ipsw or the custom no bb??? Thanks

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    facebook not working on ios5 , 3gs !!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    disable location services from settings , then reboot your device

  • Thedorian

    ok guys… I’ve installed the normal firmware first and it didnt work…. then I restored to the custom firmware by sn0wbreeze and did like it says about disabling the push and location… then I installed the ultrasn0w and i still get no signal!!

    so… is my BB damaged already cause first I did instal normal firmware even thou I’ve put a custom one on top of it??

    I’ve tried to reinstal the iPAD bb but in crashed Error, no successful firmware download after 60000 ms! giving up…

    any help?

  • Jasonn

    Looks like there is a substrate Cydia update that just came out. If you can update that then UltraSn0w will work properly. Just updated mine installed UltraSn0w and all works now. :)

  • J W Pendergrass

    How does one ‘reflash’ the 6.15 baseband using ultrasn0w on a mac. I have redsn0w 0.9.95b. Any help please would be nice. I’ve lost my unlock capabilities. I’ve also disabled location and push services. Any ideas?

  • Drscmoreira

    New basebands. When???

  • amy

    When i install ultrasn0w, it says ” Could not activate cellular data network “. What is that supposed to mean?
    btw, its 3GS old bootroom with ipad bb just jailbroken.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    what is your baseband now?

  • Thedorian

    06.15.00

  • Thedorian

    im desperate and im downgrading to 4.1 CF with ipad BB to maybe fix my BB and then upgrade to 5.0 this time with CF

  • Turka50

    does this unlock have any effect on ththered ? or what not
    i use the Gevey sim so all i need to do is wait for redsn0w for windows and preserve my BB right ?

  • Swclipper

    I’ve got a 3GS on IOS5 ( stock Ipsw ) can I jailbreak and flash 06.15 to un lock? My BB is at present on05.16.02
    Any help in this matter will be appreciated…

  • http://twitter.com/_kgyk 珺。

    I’ve got 05.16.05 as my baseband / modern firmware. Oops.

  • http://twitter.com/_kgyk 珺。

    Should I just wait for the unlock for my baseband, or is there something I can do?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    your baseband will not change wutever u do, now you have to do the following, 1) create custom frimware using snowbreze 2) restore ur iphone with it normaly 3) turn location services OFF 4) install ultrasn0w from cydia 4) dont turn location service on again , thats it it must work

  • http://www.facebook.com/P.Duvs Petar Duvnjak

    Got everything to work on my iPhone 3GS with iPad BB 06.15, the only issue is I can’t get iMessage to work at all, any suggestions?

  • Hit_man_14

    i have an iphone 3gs that was perivously with a baseband of 6.15.00 and i updated it with the stock firmware and when i installed ultrasnow it would unlock. then i reinstalled the firmware but a custom one and turned off the location services and it still wont work it just keeps on searching :/ help!!!

  • btbias

    What is the version # of the updated Mobile Substrate? I don’t see any newer versions. I’m on 0.9.3901.

  • Chrisnunn

    I have been working on this all day. None of the instructions online are working for me. (3GS/unlocking/06.15.00) No matter what I do, the carrier will not load. Used sn0wbreeze-v2.8b8 to create the custom ipsw. Anything guys?

  • Manan_H

    when will this work on windows?

  • btbias

    Okay, can someone please give a straight answer on how to reflash the iPad 06.15.00 baseband? Many 3GS users are having a rough time with unlocking iOS5, but don’t know how to reflash the baseband.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    go dfu mode, run redsnow redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc16 check the ipad baseband box and wait untill it finish, then u will be upgraded to the ipad bb

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    while creating custom firmware did you checked the hacktivation box in expert mode?? and after restore done install ultrasn0w from cydia??

  • Chrisnunn

    Yep! Followed every guide online.. I’m now trying to reflash the iPad 06.15.00 baseband using redsn0w..

  • Chrisnunn

    redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc16 doesn’t recognize iPhone2,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw.. but redsn0w_win_0.9.9b4 does. Mine keeps hanging at “Exploiting with limera1n” when I try to reflash the iPad 06.15.00 baseband.

  • Chrisnunn

    Worked. Had to disable notifications but I got my signal working.

  • BeeRT

    mine works good.. i had preserved my baseband with the use of snowbreeze 2.8b8 and it also activates ur iphone… problem is you cant unlock for the reason that in cydia error appears “size mismatch” the repo is already in cydia and i also seen ultrasn0w on that repo with same version, but when i install it size mismatch appears i even tried installing the .deb file to iphone but nothing happens!!..

  • daniel rold

    how did you disable your notifications ?

  • Chrisnunn

    Almost at the top of the list in settings. I turned everything back on. Signal drops sometimes.. but it’s working better than when I first got it up and running. This is for the birds. Getting HTC Windows!! Woot woot!

  • Dylanpny

    I started with baseband 01.59.00
    after completing everything it says the baseband is 04.11.08
    I completed the preserve iPhone 4 Baseband steps, yet it still changed and now it says I have no service.

    answers?

  • Dylanpny

    I’m guessing the Preserve basically did not work. Great…

  • amy

    I used redsn0w 0.9.9b4 to reflash ipad bb.
    1.Open redsn0w
    2. Jailbreak then DFU mode
    3. It will ask for IPSW and it will show the options to upgrade to ipad baseband and other. Good luck

  • Eric_Fier

    my baseband is 04.10.01 can i still use this?

    3) restore with i tunes

    sniff, not work

  • Jay Greenslade

    This video and these instructions are great, but they are not actually accurate. I followed the instructions perfectly, and preserved by baseband to 01.59.00. I am now running iOS 5, but Cydia did NOT install, and no matter what I try it will not install. I wish somebody would post some more accurate instructions, instead of just saying “you need to ‘just boot’ tethered” – because this does not help.

  • Ajib_road

    bt how should i access cydia, in my phone there is no service, so how should i access internet to instal ultra snow????

  • Kanna

    Mine’s still coming up as “no service” and “cannot activate sim”. I have an iPhone 3gs on the 06.15.00 baseband runnng iOS 5… help?

  • Kanna

    *running

  • Mayakanuri

    i have the same problem.. please let me know.. how u fixd this

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=665390246 Pedro Bros

    having the same problem

  • Myfairytale83

    you have to use snowbreeze (windows) and the expert mode, there you can click general and then choose “hacktivation” and make a custom ipsw. afterwards use this ipsw to restore. then you need no compatible SIM card and you can unlock it via cydia => ultrasn0w

  • Myfairytale83

    wlan?

  • Myfairytale83

    sounds like you didnt jailbreak it. after you installed ios5 with baseband preservation, you can jailbreak it via redsn0w (instead of clicking on extra choose jailbreak)

  • Myfairytale83

    you have to use snowbreeze (windows) instead of redsn0w; worked great for my 3gs bb 6.15

  • Myfairytale83

    thats right, same problem here! (3gs bb 6.15) ;/

  • Myfairytale83

    its working fine for me (3gs, ipad bb)

  • Chrisnunn

    Waiting for some kind of fix/update. 3gs bb 6.15 users beware. Enabling location services will make your connections turn off and on, over and over. (I don’t mean during the setup.. I mean after all is said and done)

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=584715295 Amjad Kh

    idk it keep saying unable to load page i have tried every thing, uninstall, reinstall, install older version , nth worked!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/bhanwargupta Bhanwar Gupta

    anybody trying this? please let me know the results..

  • Chrisnunn

    Works but it’s far from perfect..

  • Jay Greenslade

    Surely that option jailbreaks it with the stock IPSW meaning the baseband would be updated?

  • amy

    I did it with my 3gs with ipad baseband. First restore stock IPSW then reflash the baseband while jailbreaking. it will work. Mine works fine except for the location service thing.

  • Sidproducer

    Iphone 3gs 8b, BB 6.15.00, when I installed ultrasnOw says “Could not activate cellular data network”

  • Myfairytale83

    who needs location services if you have a 6.15 baseband and your GPS is broken?

  • Amr_elhadidy_93

    i put ios 5 on my 3gs and used ultrasnow but it didnot work

  • ArianeAstraea

    Experiencing this now :( waiting for update/fix as well. Although I am quite sure I choose DISABLE LOCATION SERVICES in the setup process. Help, anyone? :)

  • Anonymous

    same problem :(

  • alexgee

    I already had downloaded the ios5 and have been trying to jailbreak and unlock it. nothing seems to work. i can’t get past the “activating your iphone” screen where it is searching for my sim card.

  • Anonymous

    thank you! this let me pass the activation process.. now I’m trying to unlock with ultrasn0w, hope it works

  • Myfairytale83

    use sn0wbreeze => expert mode => general => check hacktivation => make a custom ipsw; go to itunes and restore your custom ipsw (hold shift and press restore to select your ipsw); afterwards ios5 wont ask you for your compatible SIM card

  • Jeremy Michael

    I find that since i’ve upgraded to IOS 5 — any time i try to access an app that uses location services – wifi/3gs always disconnects and goes into searching mode then reconnects… Is this a problem with ultrasnow incompatibility? this never happened to be on 4.3.3 ios, and using 6.15.00 modem firmware… Never used a stock ipsw… how do i fix this issue?

  • Chrisnunn

    We need to wait for a solution. It’s a problem with ultrasn0w. Disable location services for now.

  • Chrisnunn

    GPS isn’t broken on all 3GS 6.15 bb devices. Mine worked great. Still does but the signal drops and calls drop. I can still use google maps.

  • alexgee

    do you have the link for the sn0wbreeze?

  • Rick

    I have a 3GS on 4.3.3 BB 05.16.02 and been waiting for The unlock to be available. Should I upgrade to iPad BB and move to OS5? or i can unlock it as is ?

  • El_Paza

    if i install ios5 and i’ll jailbreak it… can i come back to 4.3.3 if i have the shsh saved on my pc?

  • Jerome_bourassa

    Maybe re-do the installation of the custom IPSW. When installing Cydia with Redsnow, install the ipad baseband. This will re-flash the BB and may get everyting working.

  • Jerome_bourassa

    The reflash is not done in ultrasnow but with redsnow when installing Cydia. Be sure to install a custom IPSW beforehand.

  • 3gs locked user

    Please support 05.14.02 as we have blobs for upto iOS 4.1 only. we can downgrade with tinyumbrella and then upgrade using redsn0w 0.9.9b5 without baseband upgrade.
    carrier locked 3gs phones have no option except for 06.15.00 ipad baseband which drains battery life.
    please support 05.14.02 till you find a way to fix the iOS 5 baseband

  • Tsneldo

    Ok I need some help? I have 3gs running 4.2.1 baseband 06.15.00. How do I upgrade to iOS 5.0.
    I’ve seen it said that I shouldn’t use a stock IPSW, I need a custom IPSW. How do I make a custom IPSW of 5.0?
    Please help

    How to reflashed the base band with red snow. plz help

  • Zacharydavey

    I have an iPhone 3GS that is running on iOS 5 and on a baseband that isn’t in the list on Ultra sn0w, so how do i downgrade the baseband but keep the iOS 5 upgrade?

  • http://www.facebook.com/sslinn Scott Slinn

    I have a 3gs that i unlocked on 4.2.1 with ultrasnow. I then upgraded using the stock iOS 5.0 (not realizing that Im not supposed to do so). I got stuck during the activation of iOS 5 and downgraded back to 4.2.1. Only now it wont unlock for me on 4.2.1. Im pretty sure it was on baseband 6.15.00 before I upgraded to 5.0 and it is still at 6.15.00. What can I do? I read above about something to do with flashing the baseband with ipad software… could someone please provide me instuctions on how to fix this on either 4.2.1 or 5.0. Thank you so much in advance

  • Mostafa Ghareeb

    isn’t there any way to solve this problem through redsn0w

  • http://www.facebook.com/sslinn Scott Slinn

    Im pretty sure you use Redsn0w to do so.
    Click extas in redsnow then ‘custom IPSW’ . select the stock ipsw. Redsnow will make a custom ipsw for you. then you click ‘pwned dfu’ and follow the instructions to put your iphone into pwned dfu mode.
    go to itunes after this and hold shift if your a pc or option if your a mac and click restore. select the custom ipsw (which should be in downloads or wherever redsnow said it put it). your phone will restore using the custom ipsw

  • Mostafa Ghareeb

    is the problem solved, what’s the steps plz?

  • Mark123

    Did the exact same thing….and looking for help…

  • Mark123

    Does your phone work after downgrading it to 4.2.1 ??

  • Stevenbeck24

    Okay so I have a 3GS with iOS 5 & on 6.15 I upgraded using stock ipsw & it went smooth and now I’m stuck at when I put my sim in it just says searching. Is there anything I can do? Please help

  • Mostafa Ghareeb

    through redsn0w_win_0.9.9b4, press jailbreak then mark on (install cydia, ipad BB, deactivate)
    and make sure that you removed any antivirus or firewalls because they stop the process, it will take with you maximum 30 min. and welcome to the IOS 5 world after that :)
    but 4 sure forget the GPS with BB 6.15.00 moreover u have to disable the location services from the beginning and may be not activating it again as it made my network disconnected

  • Mark123

    Does it not work with redsn0w mac version ??

  • Mark123

    Awesome! That worked….

  • BingBangBong

    I have a 3GS with baseband of 06.15, i updates using iTunes to ios5 and jail broke and installed cysia using redsn0w. but won’t accept my sim card or activate via APPLE? I think i went wrong installing the apple update without using the redsn0w version. PLEASE HELP !!

    same problem with the redsn0w reboot software uploaded via iTunes. still cannot recognise either the sim card or allow to be authorised by apple

  • Mark123

    Looks like you installed a stock IPSW…reflash your BB and install using custom IPSW…

  • Jacabell

    I’m beginning to think its bricked, no one has an answer for me. i can’t do anything to fix it, I’ve literally tried every option

  • Mkrdtaylor

    How did you downgrade?
    I’m in the same position

  • Jptheduecue

    Same problem, disabled loc svc

  • Jpthedeuce

    I had to setup the phone as new to get iMessage to work

  • Stevo1882

    You have to boot with ibooty

  • Eng Nasser2

    through redsn0w_win_0.9.9b4, press jailbreak then mark on (install cydia, ipad BB) , after that u need to install Ultrasn0w 1.2.5 from cydia. I have tried this and it’s work perfect.(but make sure the location services is disable on the first setup)

  • Tariqsarwarwattoo

    hy,i have done the hole process and after installing ultra-snow i ask for reboot and i do soo and when it start again it stuck on the starting apple logo so now what is this????????

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000877581 Azra Zaragoza

    @Tariqsarwarwattoo its a “tethered” jailbreak so you have to run it thru redsnow again and go to extras and then go to “JUST BOOT” and do that process

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1040962864 Bardhyl N. Salihu

    today’s your lucky day. do this:

    1. Connected the phone to my mac and launched iTunes.
    2. Removed the sim-card from the phone.
    3. Put the phone in DFU mode to do a recovery with iTunes.
    4. When itunes was done and the phone had booted I started redsn0w (Using version: 0.9.9b5).
    5. Put the phone back in DFU-mode so i can jailbreak it.
    6. When I got to the select options in redsn0w, I selected “Install Cyda”, “Install ipad baseband” and “de-activate phone”
    7. Waited for it to finish(this may take long but keep on waiting for a bit), and after it booted up I got the message “No sim card inserted”. I then inserted my sim-card
    8. choose do not enable location services when asked to set up phone(i did that, but im not sure if u need to do that or not)
    9. Continued with the ios 5 setup on the phone and had no issue activating it nor did I get “no service”-message after setup was done.

  • Wardy

    is that with an iphone 4?

  • Johan Malkan

    I have a iPhone 3gs with baseband 06.15.00 but it still doesn’t work with Ultrasn0w! I can unlock my sim but no coverage at all, it just serching …

  • Sajidfaizmalik

    ultrasnow wont work on my 3GS even though location services are off in the settings
    (note when i setup my phone i turned on location services)

  • machnolee

    You can’t yet. Look for updates at the Dev Team Blog.

  • machnolee

    You can’t yet. Look for updates at the Dev Team Blog. They’ll let you know when you can (if ever).

  • machnolee

    Not yet. Check Dev Team’s Blog for the latest. Right now only one baseband is supported on the iphone 4, and it isn’t yours.

  • Leandro Araújo

    I’m having the same problem :(
    Ultrasn0w unlock, my carrier is showed in settings but i don’t have services/signal…

  • Leandro Araújo

    strangely after unlock, the ios5 doesn’t ask for my PIN (password) of my SIM card. I put the phone in Airplane mode, then turn this off and ios recognized my SIM card and then I put my PIN number but i still don’t have services or signal.

  • Marlyf

    Hello,
    After installing and jailbreaking/unlocking iOS 5 I am no longer able to send or receive SMS messages. Is there any way to fix this?

  • Johan Malkan

    Yeah i mean that to, I have to put the phone in Airplane mode then it recognize my SIM card..

  • Jacabell

    i haven’t tried ibooty, instead i opened my 3gs removed the logic board, waited an hour and it worked, i got out of the loop and was able to restore the device. except i was dumb and used the same custom ipsw that caused the loop so its back to loop again haha. i guess ill try ibooty now or else re-open the thing up

    I’m on Mac, so no iBooty for me, after hours searching and trying various softs, all is left is to open the phone or let the battery drain. I’m really not the type of a surgeon person, and after watching videos, I think I will let the battery drain… Is it working for you know ? Did you use the old or new bottom ipsw to jb ? I think I made the mistake here… Thanks for responding anyway and fingers crossed for both of us…

    My phone is a 3gs with iPad bb (6.15.00), running jailbroken os 4.1 (8B117), bootrom 6.4.
    This guide says it works for iPhones that rely on 4.x.x jailbreaks.
    Is my system compatible with this upgrade?

  • http://www.facebook.com/bhanwargupta Bhanwar Gupta

    same here.. :(

  • Themisk22

    what if you have baseband 04.11.08

  • Isla

    Success!
    After countless tries and searches for information for the last three days to have Vodafone sim-card not “searching”, (base band 6.15) I followed your instructions and am so delighted to be able to use the phone. I used redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Windows downloaded today.
    However, I have found that on my first attempt I selected all options given above it did not jailbreak the 3gs.
    On my second attempt I did Not select “de-activate” and it worked.
    It is of course still a tethered jailbreak for ios 5
    Thank you Bardhyl N Salihu

  • Leandro Araújo

    now works! I re-flash my iPad baseband again with redsn0w 0.9.9b6 and and now ios5 find my network. but I still have network problem (unstable) ONLY if I use Location Services in ios5. although this version has been done to correct it.

    Just installed on iPhone 4 and then tried to unlock phone. Upon trying the tethered reboot, the phone is now stuck displaying the Apple logo. I can’t seem to get past this. I’ve powered off and on and still have the Apple logo. Moving from SF to Rome tomorrow and need to unlock my phone so that I can use it in Italy. Now of course, it’s nothing more than a paper weight… Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx! Oh, and I have no idea what my baseband is, and of course, I can’t view any info on my phone to find out…

  • Puneet

    I just jailbroke my iphone 3gs (6.15 BB) phone and then unlocked it using Ultrasn0w. Now after rebooting it did detect my sim card, but still no signal. When i am changing the network selection to manual, I get an error saying unable to load network list. Can you please help me?

  • Addy :)

    thanks for the guide it works like a charm :) i am on 4.10 iphone 4

  • Xdanny92

    my iphone 4 running on ios5 is on the apple logo for about 10 minutes now after i have done the unlock. is that normal?

  • Manc

    Same problem but I think no one could ever solve this ..lunfortunatly

  • AwesomeJAilBREAKer

    MAKE SURE that you click the install “ipad baseband” during the redsn0w jailbreak. if you fail to do so the first time, sipmly re-run the redsn0w jailbreak, click the install ipad baseband, unclick install cydia(if you have jailbroken the first time[if this is your first time, DO NOT UNCHECK CYDIA]). That way, the ultrasn0w works.!!

  • Al_argueza

    can u pls tell me how to install ipad basenband 6.15, i have same problem

  • Al_argueza

    i have a problem i install redsnown0.9.9b6 and did jaibreak but the last step they said through the redsnow 0.9.9bs said ” For the time being redsnow requires that you manually select the IPSW in the extras screen in order to specify the current build..and this will be fixed in a future release”. i went back to redsnow then select extras and select IPSW manual when i click that nothing saying there only my personal computer files there.. i dont know what im gonna do now, still i cant use other network to my phone,,pls help me

  • Anonymous

    Hi, When I check my baseband on the 3GS it says its” 05.16 ” which I have not seen mentioned on any of the threads ! Now, I have already upgraded to iOS 5 so is that why the baseband version is different ?. Still don’t have any signal…shows “NO SERVICE” after I did the Initial jailbreak reset…any ideas ? Frank

  • Eric Steinberg

    I FUBARed the jailbreak/unlock. I have jailbroken my 3gs, but I can’t unlock it. I use a stock ios 5 version from iTunes 10.5. Used Redsn0w to 0.9.9b5 and Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 to unlock

    Is there a way to fix this or as least get back to a working version of ios 4.3?

  • Shaikajazahmed

    i donot have wifi….. i uesed DISKAID to install ultrasnow using .DEB file , but even after basenad flash my phone says “No signal” please help!!!!

  • Upreti Pratik

  • OB91201

  • Avollman_7

    THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH MAN. LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. It seemed like nobody else had this issue, they just used ultrasn0w and it was done and im like WTF MINE IS FUCKED! oh my god thank you so much i cant explain how happy I am. ahhhhh. FOR EVERYBODY ELSE WANTING TO UNLOCK THEIR 3GS ON IOS5, DO EXACTLY WHAT THIS MAN SAYS, ITS PERFECT AND IT DOES WORK. thanks again bro.

  • Hafeezmirza66

  • Mayfamoo

  • Frostedbarleypop

    You have to reboot in dfu mode every time. Have red snow running and hild power for 3 then hold home button for 10 release power keep holding home button – if you dont know what im talking about go back to stock

  • Norbelix

    Thank you very much, the info: ‘Notes from the iPhone Dev Team about iPhone 3GS on the iPad baseband 06.15.00′ did the job, I finally have an iPhone again instead of an iPod!
    You guys are the best, couldn’t find this info elsewhere and tried at least seven different ways, even walking into an apple store where the guys really tried to help, even with an jailbroken iPhone

  • Querty

    Dear Bardhyl N. Salihu.

    THANK YOU.

    I’ve been trying to get my phone working for hours. Hours. Finally, with your simple guide, it worked.

    For me, it didn’t work when it first booted up. It told me “insert SIM-card” but it didn’t recognize the SIM-card when I eventually put it in, it just stuck at “insert SIM-card”. But after another reboot (after step 7 in Bardhyl’s guide) with the SIM-card still in, it worked. Activated and is now working like a charm.

    Once again, a big thank you!

    just restore it with ITunes, hold the top button until it shut down…after that..plug your usb into your laptop with Itunes open….hold the home button of your iphone…after that…plug the cable up to your iphone…you will see it works…but you will lose everything..

  • Adamhacker

    I’ve done the above and now I’m stuck with the following message:

    Error, no successful firmware download after 6000 ms!! Giving up…

  • euclid

    Someone needs to get this step into an article- Saved me after repeating the process about eight times thinking i was going insane. Worked perfectly..

  • Adamhacker

    OK, so if anyone gets the “Error, no successful…” message, simply try the process over again. Worked on the second try! I’m connected!!! Thanks Rbdesign!

    hi i have an iphone 3gs and i was able to jailbreak it and i followed the steps using cydia to try to unlock it, so after i installed ultralsnow it pressed reboot, and it keeps staying on apple logo, then turns off for a few secs then back to apple logo again. Is it suppose to take a while to reboot again?

  • Cassoulet4

    any help ?

  • Roofey

    Hi
    i have an iphone 3gs, with ultrasnow and i tethered booted it and it says searching. Any help please??

  • Mmbojamboo

    you have to upgrade baseband with redsn0w to 6.15. only problem is in the future u cannot upgrade with stock ipsw.

  • Rarkot87

    Connect your phone with PC and Use Ultrasn0w to boot it. I won’t boot without it.

  • Smokintdi

    Im assuming you are jailbreaking a 5.0? you will have to download the IPSW file and store it in your Pwnage file folder on the desktop. Then choose that IPSW file manually. Then attempt the jailbreak again.

  • Smokintdi

    It is normal if your j/b unlock is teathered.. You will have to select extras, and “just boot” to finish the unlock. Takes a few min, restarts and then u get the slider.

  • Puneet

    Can you please do asap? Please!

  • iphone user

    I downloaded ultrasn0w and rebooted tethered now it says “Seaching…” im assuming its reading sim card but it doesnt work. Help

  • cin

    hello i am having the same problem with you and i saw you posted that 4 days ago were you able to solve your problem yet? thnx

  • Daniel

    Well guys, I talked to some people and they told me I should activate the device with the sim card from the original provider before using ultrasn0w. So, in my case, what I’m supposed to do now is:

    - Connect iphone to itunes
    - Insert sim card to activate the device
    - Use ultrasn0w to unlock to any carriers

    After that, everthing should be fine.

  • Friend

    Try mobilesubstrate_0.9.3367-1 copy this through winSCP to autoinstall folder in cydia.
    Another thing, restore to default network settings

  • Alex

    Same issue, if you find a fix, please let me know.

  • Pouya

    Hey guys, what about snowbreeze I’ve heard about! Check it out! It may unlock ios 5 bb 6.15 on 3Gs!

  • 1000Ton

    Hi there I’ve found a fix for iphone 3Gs users: after installing ios 5 and u stuck with: no service….
    run redsn0w 0.9.9b4 (for windows vista or 7 as administrator) click on extras then select IPSW and find
    IOS 5 file then u need to go back to redsn0w main windows this time click on jailbreak and select only
    INSTALL IPAD BASEBAND and DEACTIVATE and let redsn0w do the rest.
    *The only problem i’m having now is SAFARI crashes and my email still no sync. everything else runs just as expected good luck !

  • Jastinder

  • 1000Ton

    hello everyone…just restart all over again..if taking too long. but dont do anything else.
    and make sure you follow steps exactly – in my case i had no service..after long waiting of searching…..but i have installed IOS 5 – other thing that my help remove sim card and when u prompted to allow locations say NO (you can enable it later) – if the first try did not succeed: put your iphone in recovery mode and restore from itunes and then run redsn0w 0.9.9b4 one more time.

    do you guys know if dev is working on unlocking ios5 5.0 with baseband 4.11.08, i went to the dev blog, and the administrator blocked me and said that they haven’t unlocked new basebands in almost a year. i dont understand how he could say that when ios5 came out pretty much when the iphone 4s came out right.?

  • Apresdee

  • Smspop

    @ Apresdee: Try this, Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Semi Untethered: RESTART ALL OVER AGAIN I HAD SAME PROBLEM

    STEP 1: Download iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0.1 final version.

    STEP 2: Backup your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and restore it using the iOS 5.0.1 IPSW file downloaded from the first step.

    STEP 3: Download Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 for Windows or Mac OS X

    STEP 4: Open Redsn0w and select “Extras” then “Select IPSW” and browse for the iOS 5.0 IPSW file NOTE iOS 5.0 IPSW file AND NOT THE 5.0.1.
    When redsnow finish’s put the phone into DFU mode restart redsnow select extra’s select IPSW again select the iOS 5.0 IPSW file then select just boot tethered for now, then wait as it takes a while.

  • Smspop

    After restore of 5.0.1 in itunes, when you select the 5.0 restore Be sure to ticl install ipad baseband (AGAIN) and Deactivate, this will solve the no service issue

    does this stop email & safari?

  • Kifan

    Hi, I’ve just jailbroke on my iphone 3gs with out any trouble. BUT when I tried to unlock it, I keep getting “no service”.
    Can U help me with this problem?
    I have ultrasn0w 1.2.4.

  • Radhakrishnan

    First of all, please be aware that untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 is not yet available and baseband 5.16.05 can’t be unlocked.

    However, it is still possible to unlock your iPhone by updating the baseband to 6.15.00. This is an iPad baseband which can break your GPS. Read the risks here. If you don’t fancy 6.15.00 then these guys can replace baseband chip.

    Did you read and understand all the risks? OK, let’s proceed.

    Strangely, Apple is still signing iOS 4.1 which you need to downgrade your iPhone 3GS to. The reason why you need to downgrade to iOS 4.1 first is so that you can update your baseband to 6.15.00.

  • Radhakrishnan

    please be aware that untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 is not yet available and baseband 5.16.05 can’t be unlocked. so i choose another option called WHITED00r.but its seems during the usage mobile may get Heat….that we all should analyze on it…..so collect info about ” whited00r “. this can be useful to unlock the mobile which contain baseband 5.16.

  • Bakhtiar

    ultrasn0w unlock solution for 6.15.00 BB
    Hi those who are stuck on locked/ibricked iphone 3gs with 6.15.00 BB,
    The Solution for ultrasn0w unlock problem in 6.15.00 BB 3GS (new bootrom), l found is, to re-flash the BB 6.15.00.
    I myself, was stuck for full two days/nights facing this problem, while upgrading to innocent 4.3.3 from my iphone 3gs 4.1 fw and 6.15.00 BB (old bootrom). I checked all through the net and found this strange problem faced by many people and there is no logical answer from anyone! And also what i found that, the problem faced by the person who were previously in 6.15.00 BB and now want to do something with their iPhone.
    So, the issue is what ever i did i was ending the process (i.e. redsn0w, sn0wbreeze, IReb rc4, tinyumbrella, Device manager and i don’t know how many more) of jailbreaking process with corrupted 6.15.00 BB! So whatever the version of ultrasn0w i used, and what ever i did after that (modifying the root files, carrier .plist etc) i ended up as “No Service” or one bar or no carrier option in the settings.
    So, the sum up of the solution is:

    You need, Redsn0w, Sn0wbreeze, 4.1 IPSW stock FW
    Step 1.
    Downgrade your FW to 4.1 (this worked for me) using sn0wbreeze (Unless u don’t know how to use sn0wbreeze, it’s same like redsn0w but it can customize the stock FW of 4.1 so that itunes cannot throw the 1015 error). U can use sn0wbreeze version 2.1 (which works for FW 3.2.2 to 4.1) to do this. Follow the screen intructions. One thing more, if you find problem going to DFU mode use
    redsn0w_win_0.9.9b9 (use the ‘extras’ > pwned DFU & can also use other version too). And if you still he itunes 1015 error use iReb to get out of this.

    Step 2.
    Use the redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc16 version (U can also use other version too) to install the 6.15.00 ipad BB only. This is the main step which will make your BB suitable for ultrasn0w 1.2 or above to unlock. Unmark any other option like install Cydia etc.

    Step 3
    Unlock with ultrasn0w 1.2 or above (whatever the method with or without wifi). Reboot the device. If the settings>carrier option enabled, u r done. Give it 3-5 minutes for the first time to search for the carrier. that’s it.

    Sorry that I have taken so much time, coz i was frustrated myself once and i don’t want to see anyone like me with 6.15.00 BB.

  • Tiago Moreira

    Hey buddy! Thanks for these instructions… I’ve been thinking for some days to upgrade my 3gs (new bootroom) BB 06.15.00 from iOS 4.3.3 (8J2) to iOS 5 (the latest 5.0.1 i guess). Among many and many steps we can find in internet, one point I don’t understand: if I have my upgrade and jailbreak to 5.0.1, my BB is still going to 06.15.00? That’s my question…

    Actually, my most intencion is not upgrade to iOS 5, but just get rid of this BB 06.15.00 that has a problem with GPS. I really want my gps back, so, it doesn’t matter my iOS version. Do you know is there is any way get may GPS back?

    That’s my e-mail:

    – from Brazil, Vitoria – ES.

  • Tiago Moreira

    Hey Edilson, how are you?… I guess you’re brazillian too… but let us post in english, so the world can read if there is something usefull here. Could you help with this question? After updating your 3gs to iOS 5.0.1, now your baseband is still 06.15.00 or you have a new one? Man, I really need my GPS system back on my iphone.

    And did you have your problem solved about “no signal to phone”?

  • Shayan Damani

    There is nothing to worry about iphone 3gs if its 16gb .. just make sure that you already have installed ultra snow on your device .. if you have already upgraded just email me i ll tell you the steps or attach the snap shorts :)

  • Shayan Damani

    go head to cydia and reinstall the ultrasnow .. thats it .. :)

  • Shayan Damani

    once you update device to ipad baseband then there is no way to get GPS back using the carrier internet .. !!

  • Shayan Damani

    simple and possible way is only to downgrade your phone to 4.1 and put cydia again then put ultrasnow and you will be fine !!

    iPhone 3g 4.2.1 on ipad baseband 06.15.00 – went through redsn0w 09.6b6 and ipsw 4.2.1_8c148 restore for jailbreak…open Cydia and add ultrasn0w 1.2.5…install ultrasn0w, but during the install the message “could not activate cellular data network” comes up before the install has completed. After hitting springboard and inserting sim card, it searches and then says “No Service”. I’m not technically savvy…I don’t know if I missed something or where the issue lies. I re-installed ultrasn0w, but the error still occurred.
