    Ultrasnow is a package in Cydia that unlocks the phone to get cydia you need to jailbreak the phone use redsnow.connect the phone to your pc back it up then close iTunes run red snow.

    No problem using a pc! The only way to update your base band is updating through iTunes
    Hope that helps.

    Hi,

    I have a Iphone 3GS with IOS 3.1.2 and BB 5.11.07 and the newer bootroom (after week 40 of 2009).

    Currently it is unlocked via Blackra1n, but unfortunately that's untethered. Now I have a few questions:

    1) Is there any way to get an untethered unlock for my this Iphone (either upgrading to IOS 4.x or staying on 3.1.2)?

    2) If I wanted to upgrade to a more recent Version, what would be my best option right now? What do you recommend. I am not too keen to upgrade to BB 6.15.

    As a note: I am a Windows User (rules our pawnage) and I have no SHSH backed up, as I didn't look into it in more detail at the time, and now I can't get it signed anymore for 3.1.2.

    Cheers,
    DubDani

    I have an iphone 3gs with iOS 3.1.2 which I unlocked previously.
    This evening, Cydia uploaded Ultrasnow 1.2 automatically.
    Have 05.12.01.
    I'm not too bothered about having a jalbroken phone, just mainly want it unlocked.
    What's the best way to upgrade to OS and keep it unlocked?
    Thanks.

    you are confusing tethered and untethered, blakra1n is tethered, ya could use snowbreeze to update to 4.1 and then jailbreak using limera1n, thats an untethered jailbreak

    Hi all,
    I accidentlly updated the software to the latest on my iphone 3gs, but im dependant on an unlock as I'm with meteor. I had it jailbroken and unlocked on 4.0.1 using jailbreakme.com and ultrasn0w.
    Since accidently updating, I've managed to bring the software back to 4.0.1 but now i cant unlock it because the Modem Firmware is now 05.15.04

    I've read a few threads on here and on iClarified.com but still confused.
    Am i right in saying that i cant change the Modem Firmware back to 05.13.04 so therefore im stuck with a locked iphone??

    I bought the phone on O2 but straight away jailbreak and unlocked it to use my meteor sim card so havent used the O2 one at all. Do they still request you to spend €150 on credit before they give you an unlock code for it??

    If anyone had any ideas or knows how to solve my problem I would greatly appreciate their help! Very stuck at the minute!

    Hi,
    I recently jailbroke and unlocked my iPhone 3Gs (Version 4.1) using UltraSn0w – so that I could use my Meteor sim in it. The iphone is originally from O2 and has never had any problems or issues. However, at the minute I can’t seem to get any Meteor service coverage on the iphone with my Meteor sim installed.

    A message appearing saying “Restricted Network” and “Network Lost” - “your selected network is no longer available”. I have tried my unlocked iphone with other sims (vodaphone) and it seems to be working grand with them – what sould i do to get Meteor working???

    Many thanks in advance.

    ps. I bought a new sim card (Metoer) in the hope that it was a problem with my old sim – but no luck!!

    Hey guys I've been trying to read up on all the threads that are already there but I am a bit confused. First of all it seems some basebands of the iPhone 4 can or cannot be unlocked yet.

    So if I was to buy an iPhone 4 on bill pay from Vodafone now what software or baseband would it be and is it possible to unlock this?

    Basically all I want is to use it on pre pay as many people here do, you know the story but can you help my severe lack of knowledge and confusion is the question? Haha thanks in advance, any help much appreciated cheers!! ;)

    I think i've pretty much bricked my iphone >:(
    it wont even take the o2sim card now (the phones locked to o2)
    and the baseband is now 06.15.00-6.4_M3S2??

    Every time i turn the phone on,the connect to itunes logo comes up and then in itunes it says the phone is in recovery and it cant check the latest software. The only thing i can do is click restore and then when it finished a box pops up and says "The iphone could not be restored . An unknown error occured (1015)" and the connect to itunes logo comes back up on the phone!

    Anyone got any ideas or help?!?!?

    have a read through the link below...apparently error code 1015 is a good error :) ..it means you have successfully restored and just need to get out of recovery mode...there's an app linked at the bottom which should get you out of it..

    or you could use tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery and see how that goes for you?
    what iphone model do you have btw?

    Error 1015 means that the baseband verification failed. This recovery mode is irrecoverable.

    Part of the restoring process is a baseband version check. It checks whether you have the correct baseband for the iOS your trying to restore to. Because you have installed the 06.xx baseband, you will never be able to restore to a stock firmware again, unless apple release a firmware version higher than 06.15.00. You will need to restore to a custom ipsw created with pwnage tool, that bypasses the baseband check.

    Also, if you are running tinyumbrella while restoring that could be causing issues too. You will need to close tinyumbrella and remove the Cydia server from your hosts file.

    You have two options:

    1. Get a friend who has a mac to create your custom IPSW. You can then use it to restore to.

    2. Use Sn0wBreeze for windows. Note: this jailbreak isn't very stable. You *may* encounter issues down the line.

    Which will i choose?? New iPhone? surely the last backup i would go back to square one?

    1. Run Sn0wBreeze. Point it at a *stock* 4.1 ipsw, follow instructions.

    2. Put your iphone in DFU mode.

    3. Run iTunes (it will tell you there is an iPhone connected in recovery mode) and ctrl-click restore. Point it at the *custom* ipsw you just made with Sn0wBreeze. It should be on your desktop.

    4. When it is completed, run cydia on your iPhone and let it refresh etc etc. Install ultrasn0w.
