My iphone 3g has 3.1.2 firmware with baseband 5.14.02. I looked at the sticky iphone fact and it not suppose to have this baseband and I have no idea why. I'm trying to unlocking it and ultrasn0w doesn't work. Anybody have any idea that can help me out ?
Got a tip for us?

Ultrasn0w doesn't work on 5.14.02. If you have to have an unlock you'll need to put that crazy iPad modem firmware on your phone and you'll probably lose your GPS. There are a couple threads here on how to do this.
You can also do a search for "Dev Team blog" and you'll find this:
Update #2: The new redsn0w 0.9.6beta5 is out. It gives both Windows and OSX users the ability to flash the iPad 06.15 baseband on iPhone3G or iPhone3GS. It fetches the baseband files directly from Apple for now (the only IPSW you ever point it at is the stock IPSW for the FW on your iPhone right now). There may be a long delay while its doing this (their servers are currently getting pounded).
* OSX
* Windows (Windows 7 and Vista users, please run redsn0w as Administrator in XP Compatiblity Mode)
If you do flash your baseband via redsn0w, please keep it plugged into USB the whole time. You dont want your battery to die during the flash process!

Since you're new to the jailbreak/unlock scene, I'd suggest on waiting for another unlock method. The new 4.2.1 jailbreak/unlock will confuse you even more.
Did you get the phone used? Only way to get the firmware and baseband combo is if someone updated the firmware to 4.1 which also updated the baseband to 5.14. And, then, they downgraded to 3.1.2, but baseband can't downgrade. Thus, 3.1.2 firmware & 5.14 baseband.
It sounds hard because you're lazy and skimmed the instructions. Redsn0w is so ****ing easy, my computer illiterate grandmother can do it, and she's blind.
