For the past week I've been checking for tutorials and trying familiarize myself with information on how to jailbreak and unlock this 3gs i was recently given. From my searches, the version I have seems to be unlockable and i have also read lots of conflicting information on how to unlock/jailbreak this iphone, whether it's possible or not, which is why I am a bit reluctant.


Anyway, i've just now come to realize that unlocking and jailbreaking are two different things, but it also seems I have reached the limit of my capacity for taking in info about this, since all the different versions of ways to unlock it are so f*$k#*@ confusing, I'm hoping someone can help out and clarify this for me.


Can I jailbreak my Iphone 3gs

Serial 8702 - From what I learned this means 2010 12th week?

5.01 (9A405)

05.16.05 - This is what's confusing. All the searaches I have for this baseband say it can't be unlocked.


It's an unlocked phone. If it's possible to jb, will jailbreaking somehow lock the phone?
