    I just used the Russel method described above and...TADA!!! 4.1 with GPS enabled. Factory activated with my original SIM, and unlocked to boot.

    I should mention that I did not use limera1n as described in Russel post. I used Redsnow instead since it exploits with limera1n.

    False positive. I don't have gps back. It was my wifi that was showing me as pinpointed. When I went around the block, no dice.

    Hi all I am about to attempt to unlock my jailbroken iphone 3g using the (SAM)method, I understand that I am taking a risk of losing GPS once I update to b.b. 06.15.00 but unlocking would be worth it. Were I'm confused is when I run redsn0w 0.9.6cr8 and i get to the page were i click "Deactivate" do I still click "Fetch Ipad b.b" and "Install Cydia" or do I let the (sam) program do all the work? Also concerning the custom IPSW restore, I know Pwnage tools creates a custom one for you but I wont be useing Pwnage just redsn0w and ultrasn0w. I dl a restore of the os i currently have 4.2.1 and redsn0w recognizes it, but is there some other step to make it "custom" that I am unaware of? Sorry if these questions are redundant, this is my first unlock and I'm trying to avoid any stupid nube mistakes.Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

    I got everything ok, But everytime my phone turns power off or goes dead (no battery) it will not get on again, unless I launch RedSn0w, plug the iPhone in and select “just boot tethered” to kick boot my iPhone 3gs.This is very annoying as it means I have to carry a computer with me.Anyone resolve this problemI am not sure if there is a fix for this.thanks

    I upgraded to 4.1 bb 06.15.00. Now if cellular data is turned ON, I can send and receive sms, mms, emails, browse, & make calls, but I cannot receive incoming calls. The caller will hear the line ring several times and then it goes to vm without any incoming caller ID/missed call notification on the handset, unless their is already another call in progress, then teh incoming call is noticed.If cellular data is turned OFF, calls can be made and received normally, sms works, but mms does not work, and no emailing or browsing or other data features without wifi.Will upgrading to 4.2.1 correct this or is there another patch I should use instead?Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I have a 3g running 4.1 updated baseband "BAD CHOICE" I have no GPS issues like others, my problem is signal drops then it says NO SERVICE. Searching online I find out that those who updated iPad baseband (6.15.00) also updated bootloader to 6.4 which cannot downgrade. Then I found the following info: (Please read) iPhone 3G initially comes with bootloader 5.8 followed by 5.9, 6.2 and the latest is 6.4 The Baseband is the processor that manages all of the activities of the antenna from wifi to bluetooth and of course the cellular signal. So if you have updated baseband, all you have to do is wait for DEV-TEAM to come up with some app to downgrade this, so we all are without an iphone for a while....!!! I HATE THIS.
