Which means that if you want to unlock any of the basebands from 05.14.02 and higher, then you have to first upgrade to baseband 06.15.00 and then unlock with Ultrasn0w 1.2.

If you haven’t done so, then go ahead and update your baseband to 06.15.00. Only then Ultrasn0w 1.2 will be able to unlock your iPhone.

Update iPhone 3GS, 3G baseband to 06.15.00 using PwnageTool 4.1.3

Update iPhone 3GS, 3G baseband to 06.15.00 using Redsn0w 0.9.6b5

After upgrading your baseband as mentioned above, continue with the following steps to unlock iPhone 3GS or 3G on basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.21.01, 05.13.04 and 06.15.00. As you may have noticed baseband 05.14.02 is not included in this list because it is not unlockable by Ultrasn0w 1.2.

    Hey guys just realse a software to unlock I phone 3G with os 4.2.1 n base band 5.15.04

  21. Darryl

    Did you ever find a fix for that?  I have the same problem.. iphone 3g, 4.1 IOs 06.15.00 firmware, unlocked with ultrasn0w.  I tried resetting all settings, resetting network settings, taking out sim turing off 3g, all those solutions.  sometimes it’ll be fine for the day.. but most days I loose the signal and have to go to airplane mode then back to get the signal back.. btw it goes to NO SIM too.. same way to get it back.. bad thing is that I’m missing calls and stuff cuz of this..
