Just try it and give us ur feedback about this method, if it doesn't work just tell a mod or perhaps "Applejuiced" (he seems to be a mod in this forum) to delete this post, close it or bann huang and me from this forum. U have nothing to lose but to prove us right or wrong.

I will. I am trying to buy a 3GS off craigslist at the moment. Once you try it, I will let you know. However, I don't think I will have result until after my vacation down to southern California this week.

Why waste your time bro?
Everyone knows none of this will ever work.
Stuff dont just magically appear.
I can do some mumbo jumbo magic too but my iphone wont unlock:D

I did have 2 3GS last weeks with 05.16 baseband. However, I have unlocked them using Ipad baseband and returned them back to my friends already. If I do have 3GS in my possession, I can proof this to you and them immediately.

The process they listed out does not make sense at all because if you have baseband of 05.16 on your phone, even you downgrade it down to 4.1, you still have 05.16 baseband. You then upgrade it up to 5.0.1 by using customs firmware (create by sn0wbreeze). Why do you have to do this? This make no sense at all because the baseband on 5.0.1 is 05.16.

They just want to mess with you and wasting your time. You can follow their instruction all day long and it is not going to work.

jcasco16 and huang, please explain the issue raised by Crystal-RX. Why does it so?

Anyone can make up and edit anything on a video.
Dont you think if ultrasnow could unlock that baseband version now we wouldnt all be looking for an unlock or installing the ipad bb? Or the people that put out ultrasnow would know about it?
And BTW ultrasnow has to be updated to support newer or different version basebands, it doesnt just magically unlock any baseband that is available or installed.

Hi AJ, unless the dev team update ultrasn0w to cover this baseband and never making any announment, then it will work. Since we have 2 people here claiming on this. I want to test it myself and one for all, to proof this one. If it works, then I will personally apologize them for this and we know something new. If not, then they can stop posting this non sense.

You know I love to mess with Iphones. So, it is not wasting my time for nothing. ;)

Probably the same poster with multiple user names.
But I doubt the dev team would secretly add support for that baseband version and not say anything, that dont make sense.
The update was just to have ultrasnow work with firmware 5.0.1
If you have the time and want to spend the money buying a 3GS on that bb version go for it. I would bet any money its fake but let us know anyway.

AJ, if you change all the "ultrasnow" to "I" and we can close this post and I will apologize to you. :eek:

I do have the same thinking as you are. I don't think they update ultrasn0w to cover 05.16 baseband. Just to update so it compatible with 5.0.1.

Anyway, I just want to proof on this after my trip to Disneyland this weekend :D (escape from the crappy, snowing Seattle weather now).

No need to apologize for anything.
Just my thoughts on the subject, that's all.
We can all have different opinions and disagree on something.
Its just when it becomes malicious and people try to mislead others according to boards rules then becomes a bannable offence:

Instantly Bannable Offenses

Hoaxes. Purposely misleading other members to their detriment. Giving advice you know to be incorrect or harmful. Sensationalism.

Trolling. Do not post in order to anger other members or intentionally cause negative reactions. For a given post, this can be a subjective call, but a pattern of such posting or an especially egregious case will get you banned
 
okay, i had an iPhone 3gs with baseband 05.16.05 and didn't care about unlocking it as I already had an unlocked iPhone 4s.

before I send this phone to a friend of mine in Korea and unlock it using the iPad baseband, I was looking for ways to unlock without using that GPS-bye-bye baseband.

So, while I was laughing and being skeptical, I decided to try whatever this method.

...

Nope.
 
Huang is an idiot. He has no ideas how to unlock. Just an a s s h o l e misleading people

You will get 1015 error.

Him and a few other newbie posters that just registered and only posted on this thread saying that somehow ultrasnow unlocks bb version 05.16.05?
I dont get it.

This thread remembers me on Copernicus, Galileo and others which claimed that the world is round but the "experts" said it's not, than throw stones, hang them or put them prison for livetime.:D

As I can see on the steps above, there are few things I want to point out first.

1. Ireb basically a tool to help you to put your phone in Pwnage DFU. You can do that without Ireb if the ultimate goal is to downgrade the 3gs to 4.1.
2. When you have a baseband of 05.16 on your phone and you downgrade it to 4.1, you will get a 1015 error, the phone will go to recovery mode. On your step above, you mention to ignore it and then turn off the phone. It is impossible to turn off the phone when it is in recovery mode. So, please clarify.
3. Again, the second time to restore to 4.1, you did not mention the error at all and how you get it out of recovery mode.

Anyway, I will buy a 3GS and test this method as soon as I get a hold of 1 and report back.

if it will work - will you be able to provide a video tutorial?
if you do - you'll be famouse
 
Get some solid, detailed instructions up as well as that video and I'll give it a try. I have a newer bootrom 3Gs with 5.0.1 on it that's sitting in a drawer turned off.

As of yesterday, ultrasnow does not work with 05.16.

This thread is ridiculous.

Stopping being such a Debby Downer and telling the truth, Applejuiced ;). Psssh, you and your facts *sarcasm*

I know, having a realist around sucks:D
Sorry guys, it does work but in order to properly unlock it you have to do the bloody Mary thing and the Macarena song twice. :D
Then it will be sim unlocked forever.

Doing the Macarena twice is too steep of a price for me... I'm out.

I was a believer until that. Now I'm just sad...
 
Guys i've tried all step posted, even the bloody Mary thing and the Macarena song twice and it doesn't work for me...

I can post a video if you like?
