Hello! I would really appreciate any help.

First of all, I was stupid and actually paid £50 for this (http://www.iphoneunlockuk.com/), which they won't refund me despite it not working. I feel like an idiot but I'm used to Android and didn't feel confident. The software is legit, however.

I am trying to unlock a 3GS from Vodafone. I shelled out for the above. I've done everything right so far, downloaded all I needed. It's on 4.3.2 and I need to get the iPad baseband. So I click install Cydia and prepare for unlock.

I launched iUnlocked, got the firmware, did the power button home button thing. A window comes up saying, "Fetching iPad baseband, please be patient". That stays up for about 3 minutes then disappears. After that, nothing happens. I have tried this multiple times now, including restoring my iPhone and trying it. After every time I try, I can only get it to boot when I reset. I've watched and read tutorials so know what's supposed to happen, but it never does.

Can someone help me? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help? My firewall is disabled so I don't know what the problem is.
 
Maybe the file itself is corrupted? I had a similar problem (although I have no need to preserve my BB). After repeated times, I deleted the files and d/l'ed them again and it worked.

Not sure if this is the solution but it's worth a try.
 
Clown ass sw?

I've been on iClarified. I am doing the right stuff, it just isn't working. The application shuts down after a few minutes.
