Wont help you out, you've already jailbroken. I think you're just on the wrong baseband to unlock.

Limera1n was for an earlier software version too so won't even jailbreak the latest software

I'd say you're on the wrong baseband to use Ultrasn0w whereas safc_legend may have been on a different one

the baseband is the software on the phone that handles the modem or phone part of the phone. so although you jailbreak the OS software your baseband is too new to allow ultrasn0w to do it's thing

Jacko, ive read this mate, what i'm understanding is that if i do this it will refer to the old baseband (although it will be perminant and void the warrenty, which i'm not arsed about) am i understanding right?

Ultra-recycle
Today we’re pleased to announce our free carrier unlock for iPhone3G/3GS owners with a baseband later than 05.13.04. The unlock for that baseband exploited the AT+XAPP command, thanks to a crash initially discovered by @sherif_hashim (@Oranav also found this crash). So what hole are we exploiting today, since Apple closed that AT+XAPP hole? Well, we’re exploiting the exact same hole!

It turns out that the very first iPad firmware 3.2.2 has baseband version 06.15.00 still vulnerable to AT+XAPP. The iPad baseband is built for the exact same baseband chip as the iPhone3G/3GS — they’re fully compatible! Some of us have been running 06.15 for weeks now on our iPhones in preparation for this release. (And some have known about this possibility of 06.15 on the iPhones for a while — kudos to @w1kedZ and @DHowett for keeping it hush!)

Unlockers have been reporting mixed results about GPS functionality at 06.15.00. Until we can track down what differentiates those who retain GPS vs. those who lose it, be conservative and assume you’ll lose GPS at 06.15.00. As we work on finding the cause (and possibly a fix), please report your personal findings in our comments section. (Update: early indications are that while 06.15.00 is capable of GPS, it will require some further hacks. But please still be conservative and assume you will lose GPS at 06.15, in case the hacks don’t work).

SIMPLIFIED ROUTE #1 (redsn0w for OSX + Windows):

1.Read and fully understand the warning below.
2.If you have an old-bootrom 3GS and are already unlockable but want to get to 4.2.1, please wait til we release an “unofficial” bundle for you. Read no further.

3.Use redsn0w (see update #2) for OSX or Windows. Enable the “Install iPad baseband” option and accept the warning.
4.When the redsn0w ramdisk is finished, install ultrasn0w via Cydia.
5.Enjoy!

yes - correct mate this will whack the old ipad baseband onto your phone but as there is no way (yet) to rollback the baseband from this version the warranty is shot.

cheers sleepy, i'm ok about the warranty cos i arnly bought it off my mate for a ton fifty and think the warranty must be nearly up anyho.

BTW apart from the warranty, are there any problems associated with downgrading the baseband?
