i have an iphone 3g with version 2.2.1 and modem firmware 02.30.03.
how can i jailbreak and unlock it so i can use my own carrier?
i have searched all over the web and i read many guides but i dont quite understand how i will do it or if its possible to do it because of the firmware which is 02.30.03

if anybody can help i would really appreciate it.

thanks

Not sure if ultrasn0w will work but you can go to Cydia and download 3G Fuzzyband Downgrader which will downgrade your baseband to 02.28.00. Then install yellowsn0w (also from Cydia) to unlock.

You don't. :)

You upgrade to 3.0 and use redsn0w and ultrasn0w.

Have you already tried putting the device in DFU mode and restoring? That will upgrade you to 3.0. :) Then all you need is red/ultrasn0w.

Put the phone in DFU mode. iTunes will display a message that the phone needs to be restored. Shift+Click on restore (Option+click for Mac) and select the 3.0 firmware you downloaded.
Or you can remove the SIM card before connecting to iTunes so you can update/restore without DFU mode.
