Hi Ali,
Are you sure your iPhone is unlocked but not jailbroken? Is it a factory unlocked phone. Because we need to jailbreak the phone if it is to be unlocked. You cannot unlock an iPhone before jailbreaking it unless it is a factory unloked iPhone.

And you need to know the first two letters of your serial number. If it is MB then it is fine. If its MC, then you'll end up with tethered jailbreak. However, iPhone 3G have untethered jailbreak. Only 3GS have serial number starting with MC.

Hi Reshadat!

I have an IPhone 3G with 3.1.2 installed and 5.11.07 baseband (Unlocked but NOT Jailbroken).My two questions:

1)My Iphones serial number's 3rd 4th and 5th digit are "947".Will i still be able to do UNTETHERED JAILBREAK using your above guide?

2)Secondly abt this new bootrom/iboot issue..is this with the only 3G-S? or are there any 3G iphones too which might have new bootrooms and end up finally with a "TETHERED JAILBREAK"?

Please help!

What is your baseband version? Did your iPhone came with 3.1.3 preinstalled? Is it iphone 2G, 3G or 3GS?

I am having the same problem. I'm not too smart about this stuff.. I've been jailbreaking my own iPhones for a long time now, but I'm about to take it to the hindus at the mall and just pay them to do it. I'm too frustrated at this point.

I jailbreak and customize iphones as a hobby. I recently obtained one from someone (3G 8GB) and I CANNOT install blackra1n on it. I ended up using sn0wbreeze (downgrading it to 3.1.2). It's now jailbroken but blacksnow still didn't install. I went to cydia and used the blackra1n repo, reinstalled blacksnow, restated it a million times, I tried ultrasnow (but my base band is too current) blacksnow will just not install. period. I tried having the 3G off I've tried every tip i can find. What could this be? anyone?

Just follow the guide above. You'll be able to do it. I used it with my iPhone 2G and it works great
