iPhone Unlocking iPhone 3GS on iOS6

From the dev team blog:

5. ultrasn0w isn’t yet updated for 6.x

by now you probably should be taking advantage of the extremely cheap IMEI-based unlocks of iPhones sold by established online retailers like http://cutyoursim.com
still, IMEI-based unlocks don’t work in all cases. We’ll announce when ultrasn0w is ported up to 6.x


Also 5.16.07 is not unlockable by ultrasn0w on any firmware. 6.15 would be unlockable. Don't know if the gps killing side effect is still present when you go to that version.

So at one point in time I will be able to use Ultrasn0w with my 05.16.07 baseband on iOS 6?

Unknown. With factory unlocked iphones now available and with all those imei unlocking services out there, unlocking isn't a high priority for the team. That last version of ultrasn0w was for the first version of the firmware released for iphone 4. That was over two years ago!

Maybe someone else will have a different answer. I don't even see a Gevey solution available on the applenberry site for the 3gs.

You can flash the 06.15.0 BB and then downgrade to 05.13.04 which is unlockable with ultrasn0w and has working gos.

Make sure your 3gs is old enough to do it.

No the 06.15.0 does not effect data

The reason I posted my serial number was to confirm if my device was old enough. From what I've read it isn't. If this is truly the case, do I have any other option

Your phone is OK to flash the iPad baseband
Your phone was made the 44th week of 2009
Only phones made after the 27th week of 2011 are at risk
