I got my iphone 3gs with 3.0.1 as I recall with AT&T contract and I jailbroke it after a while because I wanted some apps.
I updated later to 3.1.3 with Pwnagetool. -> Baseband is still 4.26
I want to upgrade to iOS 4.0 and since the unlocks work for newer basebands I was wondering if an update is safe now, or makes sense at all.
My iPhone is still legally unlocked from AT&T after i cancelled the contract. Is it deactivated after a full update with redsn0w? And needs hacktivation? Is there any difference between a hacktivation and legal activation.
Or should I just use do a non baseband update to 4.0 with Pwnagetool and be done with it.
((just some background, not important for answering the questions))
I am a little late with the 4.0 update because I just now decided that I won't sell it but instead get some contract again. For the last two months I used my old Austrian cell and the iphone only as an ipod. I might use it with an orange contract (they sell iphones too) or some other carrier.
Initially I wanted to get an Android phone with superamoled but I decided they are too expensive and all have some flaws. I don't get it why they cannot simply make one phone they is sturdy, has no space consuming keyboard, and a huge battery to last long. Iphone 4 is still better but also too expensive and I wanted to get away from jailbreaks and iTunes. Although an iPhone 4 is in Austria actually cheaper in TCO than in the states. We also have much better 3G coverage but it a little useless. If you are in a different country such a smart phone with all its tricks is really useful. At home it is much more difficult to justify spending this amount of money as I hardly ever need maps, GPS, where!, and other things.
