So I have been reading about the unlock that is coming, and that it will only work for 2.1. I just bought a (jailbroken) 3G iPhone that has 2.2 on it, I tried to install 2.1 through quickpwn but it gave me an error. I had to reinstall 2.2 just to gain access to the phone again. Is there any way I can get my phone ready to be unlocked? Or is there another unlock available for a 3G? I have T-Mobile, and all I want is the EDGE network. I don't necessearily care about 3G.
Got a tip for us?

I understand that. That is why I am asking if I can restore the 2.1 to allow my iPhone to be unlocked with the Dev-Teams software. I tried to restore it, but was unable to complete the process.
No, because when you updated to 2.2, you updated the baseband. Baseband is not downgradable, it doesn't matter what you do. You won't be able to unlock it.
Bogus
I like the technology that Apple puts out there, but let's face it, they don't get nearly as bad a rap as they deserve sometimes. If Microsoft were to do something like this, their stocks would drop off the map. Yet somehow Apple gets away with it.
they might have updated it through pwnage tool. What is it's baseband? go under settings and look at "modem firmware" and that should be it
Yeah, the Modem Firmware is 02.28.00. I am kind of new to the whole apple technology, so I just don't understand how completely resetting the phone and re-installing the downloaded 2.1 I have doesnt work?
Sorry to bring the bad news but your out of luck, re-installing the firmware dosen't downgrade the baseband no known way of downgrading the baseband yet.
