    Have a look at iclarifieds tutorials. Step by step will guide you through it. Just make sure not to update through iTunes as the latest version 3.1.2 is not unlockable yet!

    Is blaclRa1n an unlock tool

    or just a jailbreak?


    Anyway OP it is not just the version of the iphone software that you have to be wary of as this can be upgraded and then downgraded, the most important thing in terms of unlocking is the currrent version your "baseband" is running at!

    Baseband 101

    The ‘baseband’ is the generic nickname given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your iPhone, it is separate to the main system that handles the applications (such as email and google maps) and it talks to the main part of the phone over an internal communications network. Think of it like a cable modem or other peripheral that is attached to your home PC that needs occasional updates. When a software update is released and presented to you within iTunes the baseband is sometimes updated (to fix bugs or add new features). The 3.1 update for the iPhone 3G contains such an update, so running the vanilla updater straight away with iTunes will reprogram and update the baseband.
