PwnageTool 4.1.3 Unlock Download Available
PwnageTool 4.1.3 has just been released and includes the ability to unlock iPhone 3G and 3GS with basebands later than 05.13.04 (iPhone 4 is apparently in the works). To do this, you will need to jailbreak using PwnageTool and then download Ultrasn0w for iOS 4.2.1 from Cydia. PwnageTool Unlock Edition works by using the iPad 3.2.2 IPSW file on basebands 05.14 and 05.15, this process is not reversible.
The iPhone Dev Team says that iPhone 3GS users with older bootrom should not use PwnageTool if they want to update to iOS 4.2.1, instead they should use the upcoming redsn0w release to update baseband firmware.
Download PwnageTool 4.1.3 Unlock Edition
You can grab the torrent here or use one of the following download mirrors provided by the Dev Team:
PwnageTool runs on Mac OS X. There is no PwnageTool for Windows, instead Windows users will want to download redsn0w 0.9.6b5 instead.
If you are not sure what to do, you can learn how to unlock iOS 4.2.1 for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G with ultrasn0w, the unlock does carry some risks for certain baseband versions, since the iPad firmware based unlock is not reversible.
Update: the iPhone Dev Team attached the wrong bundle for iPhone 3GS users with PwnageTool 4.1.3, you can fix this rather easily. Here is what they say about this:
Thereās an error in the bundle for the iPhone3GS 4.1 that prevents the new baseband from being used. If you know your way around OSX, please download the fixed bundle, and unzip it if Safari hasnāt already done so. Then āShow Package Contentsā of PwnageTool.app, navigate to Contents->Resources->FirmwareBundles and drop it there. Otherwise, please wait for the updated PwnageTool, or the OSX version of redsn0w coming soon.
This applies only to those who wish to update to 06.15 iPad firmware.
We will post links to updated PwnageTool when they become available.
Update 2: redsn0w 0.9.6b5 has been released and works for Windows and Mac, and accomplishes the same task as PwnageTool allowing for jailbreak and unlock of iOS 4.2.1.

i’m on 05.12 iphone 3g. can i use this jailbreak and unlock to upgrade 4.1.2 iOS
Hi I can’t upgrade my baseband to the higher one and I am stuck on the 05.15.04 and I tried all the jailbreak method and nothing is working?
What should I do?
– I have updated to 4.2.1 on 3Gs and updated to the iPad BB 1.6.5.. to jailbreak and unlocked using RedSn0w.
– I don’t have SHSH blobs.
– I wanted to get back to 4.2.1 and tried to restore it using the firmware iPhone2,1_4.2.1_8C148a_Restore.ipsw (the same I used to JB), but unfortunately, I am not able to do it and today I am not even able to get back to the JB version not am I able to return to the normal version. My phone is in DFU mode ( iphone cable + itunes symbol)
Can anybody help me getting me out of this. Any help will be appreciated.
i am currently running on iOS4.0.1 with baseband 05.13.04 on a 3GS. Can i just proceed to update to BB 06.15 from 4.0.1?
if you never updated past 4.0.1 you can unlock right now without upgrading anything else and you don’t need ipad firmware. use any jailbreak and then use ultrasn0w.
you can’t get the 06.15 firmware without upgrading to 4.1 or 4.2.1
if you want 4.2.1 on your 3GS, use itunes, then follow the guide. i would suggest redsn0w over pwnage.
I have an iPhone 3G it had the 4.1 software in it and i upgraded the baseband to the ipad one and had it unlocked then i tried to upgrade to 4.2.1 wich is also unlockable and im stuck there the upgrade didnt work , what can I do please help
first go to google and download ipsw 4.2.1 .then download redsn0w_win_0.9.8b7b and run the file.when it opens it wil ask you to select the ipsw then brows and select your ipsw 4.2.1 which you downloaded earlier.now put your iphone into dfu mode.and run redsnow .this will jailbreak and update your iphone 3g.
Q: I just upgraded 3GS, iOS 4.1, BB 5.14.02 to BB 6.15.00 via redsn0w. Everything works fine, including unlock.
should I stay on iOS 4.1? is it possible to upgrade to 4.2.1 and if so how (keeping the jailbroken and unlocked) state.
thanks.
no it is impossible to update to higher version than what you have unless it is custom restore. there is no custom firmware available for 4.2.1.
If you have mac then cook custom firmware yourself with pwnagetool 4.1.3.
