Hello everyone.
(iPhone 3G 8GB, 2.2.1, 2.30.03)

I wish that people could be more eazy going when it comes to explaining how to unlock your iPhone.
I spent over 5 days trying to find out how to do it and “IF” i could until I came across a very wise man from Canada (no names).
Since I did not have the original SIM card (O2 here in England) and therefor could not use the 3G or GPRS I had to sit on a free WiFi down town to do this.
He first told me to download “QuickPwn 2.2.5 and install and run this program. Well I did and it worked fine, I just followed the instructions and 2 min later my phone was “Jailbroken”.
He then told me to open Cydia and download “Fuzzyband downgrader” and run that on my phone, so I did and it worked fine. It determend that I had the bootloader 5.8 and not the 5.9 and I downgraded my modem firmware from 2.30.03 to 2.28.00 and restarted my phone.
He then told me to open Cydia again and download yellowsn0w and follow the instructions and install this. So I did and wham bam my phone was unlocked.
I then had a bit of problems with the internet settings but he told me where to change the carrier settings and now everything works fine.

My suggestion is: when you explain how to do things in a forum, explain it like if we “the rest of the world” were retards…
Less frustrations and more joy…

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me and I’ll try to help.

@Stephen, yellowsn0w currently doesn't support baseband (i.e. modem firmware) 05.11.07. Did you upgrade to iPhone OS 3.1 before? For now, one possible solution is to use Fuzzyband to downgrade the baseband to 04.28, which can be unlocked via ultrasn0w.

Worked perfectly. I stupidly downloaded the update and thought I was stuck. I first downgraded my baseband with fuzzyband downgrader from cydia and then used yellowsnow to unlock. I’m on T-mobile. Thanks Dev Team!!!

@alonso, if your iPhone is jailbroken, you can simply launch cydia and install 3rd party applications.
