I am trying to jailbreak my iphone. Currently it is on 3.0.1 and I want to update it to 3.1.2. Also I want to jailbreak and unlock it using blackrain. When I try to update it, it says that the iphone isnt eligible for the request build? I then tried running blackra1n and everything worked fine but the blackra1n logo didn't show up on my iphone. PLEASE HELP ME! I need it jailbroken and unlocked more than updated...
 
I ran it three times, and also just restarted the phone and its still not on there.
 
Blackra1n won't JB 3.0.1 will it?!?

Im not sure. I think it should but when I run it, the icon doesn't pop up on my iphone. I need it to be unlocked. When I did the shift restore it gave me the message stated in the previous post. I don't get it.

Hey just wanted to let you know that its jailbroken but now i am not getting a phone signal. Even after unlocking it with blackra1n.com source
 
Yes i hit activate and I used the blackra1n.com source in cydia.

ok i got it. so you said you have Modem Fw: 4.26.08 ? and you jailbreak it pwnage the Modem Fw: 4.26.08 is still the same. so you have to run ultrasn0w. go cydia and search for it
 
youre welcome. and lets me just say your so lucky to have the old firmware 04.26.08. keep using pwnage to keep the golden firmware

Whats so good about it. What can I do with that that I can't do with other modem fw's

ok. when dev team jailbreak the iphone the version of the phone is the problem.
when they unlock it the firmware is the problem.
so if you have an older firmware you might have an unlock earlier than any newer one.
for example. iphone 3g firmware 04.26.08 version 3.1.3 can be unlock. not 3gs or newer firmware
