I've been on my computer for 24 hours now. I am going nuts. I'll Paypal $10 to whoever helps me unlock my iPhone 3GS.

Here's where I'm at.

I have a 3GS 16gb.

I'm certain it's the oldbootrom the serial starts with 5K9400.....
The Modem is the dreaded 05.16.05
I want to be able to put in my Simple Mobile simcard but so far I cannot "unlock" the phone.

I've jailbroken it via RedSn0w and Cydia is installed on iOS 5.0.1
Once I've Jailbroken the phone I tried using Ultrasn0w to no avail then I read somewhere that I needed to change the baseband to the iPad baseband but unfortunately I get an error on the phone itself when using RedSn0w to independently change to the iPad baseband.

I am completely lost...I've downloaded Tinyumbrella but I'm not even sure I did that right...

Is this even possible to unlock at this point?
 
What exactly is the error you are receiving when you try to flash the iPad baseband? Make sure you are completely turning the phone off and then go through the DFU process like redsn0w explains.
