Can i unlock my 3GS?

[jaguar11]

I have an iPhone 3GS on software 4.1. It has been jailbroken on 4.0 and I recently updated. I have not jailbroken it yet but I want to know which new jailbreak, limerain or greenposion, is better. And also if there is the possibility to unlock my iPhone. Thanks for the help.

mine is on 4.1 as well, with baseband 05.14.02, i used limera1n and it worked great to JB it, but if its the new bootrom, it cant be unlocked yet.... their saying a couple days after apple releases 4.2, there should be an unlock.... we'll have to wait till then.

good luck.

On 3GS, in old days, old vs new bootrom only deals with whether your JB was untethered or tethered. Doesn't really matter with the recent JB methods.

If you are talking about the 3G iPhone, then it makes a difference if you have few first phones with 5.08 bootloader. That has an exploit were you can downgrade the baseband with Fuzzyband. Apple fix that exploit with later 3G and newer devices.

So does this mean I can unlock my 3GS right now or do I have to wait for 4.2 ?

Your Baseband is now 5.14. You will have to wait for new unlock that supports that Baseband. Rumor is that one will come out once firmware 4.2 is officially release. Whether that's true or not, we have to wait and see.

You also posted about having old / new bootrom => possible unlock or not which isnt't true and doesn't apply on a 3GS.
