The home button on my ip4 is getting even worse. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and finally have it replaced in hopes that a new phone won't have the same problem.
I'm currently running 4.2.1 jailbroken and unlocked with baseband 1.59 which I believe is the latest unlockable baseband, correct?
Wonder if the Apple store would even have any older units in stock that have an older baseband... If not, hopefully by the time I decide to sell this model, an unlock solution will be available for other basebands.

1.59.00 is the latest baseband that can be software unlocked (ultrasn0w).

2.10.xx, 3.10.xx, and 4.10.xx can only be unlocked with the Gevey Turbo Sim.

If you get your iPhone exchanged at Apple, the refurbished unit they'll give you will most likely be on a newer version.

i read on apples website a little disclaimer about them knowing that there are unlocking tools on the web and so all their phones are sold and exchanged with the latest updates :(

Jailbreak your phone, search for ultrasn0w in Cydia, install ultrasn0w and you're done.


Before you do anything, make sure to save you SHSH blobs with a program called TinyUmbrella.

Odd response coming from someone that just registered two months ago. I was not asking about how to jailbreak (have been doing that since you had to manually type in code on the first gen). I was referring to baseband. Going back a few weeks I found a handful of threads about preserving basebands, but none about the most current basebands. Obviously going back farther provides less helpful information as updates to firmware and jailbreak solutions change somewhat frequently.
But thanks for your worthwhile input to the thread.

PG, thank you. That's the information I was looking for.
