iPhone 3GS 16GB iPad Baseband

Ambusher · 05-11-2012, 10:07 PM

Hi guys,

I unlocked my iphone 3GS on IOS 5.0 using iPad baseband.
Now its giving me problems, everytime I lose signal the phone shuts down and I have to reboot it using redsnow.
Can anyone help me out here this is really frustrating.

Thanks

yeah weired... i got mine unlocked with 6.15 and like the others who did -- lost my gps

just hope they can find a fix for that.

A lot of us are on 6.15 but have not have had that issue.
My recommendation: Install 5.1.1 and jailbreak > unlock with Ultrasnow + Ultrasnow Fixer
5.1.1 is much better than 5.0 in a number of areas anyway.
If you have problems using Absinthe's JB, try my backdoor: If You're Having Problems w/Absinthe Crashing Or Stalling Out (2.0 2.0.2) - SiNfuL iPhone

Installing 5.1.1 won't update the baseband if you are using 6.15?

No.
The Baseband only updates if Apple releases a version with a numerical value HIGHER than v6.15.

Since all the new BB's for Iphone have been below this number, the OS does not inject a new Baseband.

Hi guys,

Since I do not need to unlock my 3GS with bb 6.15.00, can I update/restore to stock ipsw from iTunes or OTA ? Thank you.

Sorry for that baseband of yours you cannot restore to any stock firmware from itunes, the only way is to use a custom firmware....

Adidraso · 05-31-2012, 02:45 AM

That's not so good. This means that for any new version of IOS, I'll have to wait for sn0wbreeze to update 'custom ipsw'.

cooldayr · 05-31-2012, 03:37 AM

It is in ressnow - extras - custom firmware.

Adidraso · 05-31-2012, 03:51 AM

you're right. my mistake. Thanks

That sir is a half true statement and has been addressed many times over. The iOS will still try to write the new baseband but will be rejected at the low level write. This does not cause a stop of the restore however this still causes the iOS to try and use the bb for whatever it had with it. This will cause poor performance and low signal. Wanna know how to fix this issue? Easy.
With sn0wbreeze choose expert mode and choose to INSTALL the IPAD BB. Do this every time you do a new iOS update. This will include the iPad bb and set the new iOS straight about what bb it's using.

Using redsn0w you must create a custom firmware which removes the baseband. Restore the custom firmware then BEFORE THE FIRST BOOT AFTER RESTORING THE NEW IOS AFTER IT HAS FINISHED LOADING EVERYTHING AND BEFORE THE FIRST SYNC PUT YOUR DEVICE INTO DFU AND OPEN UP REDSN0W AND GET TO THE PART WHERE YOU CHECK THE BOXES AND BE SURE THAT ONLY THE INSTALL IPAD BASEBAND OPTION IS CHECKED AND NO OTHERS!!!! not even install cydia should be checked now let redsn0w do its thing and boot normally. Do al your iOS setup stuff. Complete a full sync. And then reboot into DFU and jailbreak as normal. Now upon reboot do all ur unlocking stuff via ultrasn0w or whatever u use.

You will get the best signal and results from these methods.

Btw I want to point out that this was not a correction on heist or anything he said per se this was trying to get the correct procedure written.

Btw heist I apologize as I respect you as a member here and your view is the commonly accepted and used one however it will result in poor performance and signal if it is not done properly. I apologize if u felt any disrespect. Love ya bro!

No need to check install iPad baseband when using a redsn0w firmware

Also it is true that if a baseband higher than 6.15 came out in theory you could update the baseband and therefor change it.

Please see my revised statement that I finished before I saw your reply and please modify your quoted post. Also u DO have to when using redsn0w again the method of just doing it the normal way will work HOWEVER it will result in a lower signal performance as stated.

I love the "Sir" in his post

Thats quite polite ,iam not used to this here in our forum .

PhoenixRaven · 05-31-2012, 06:29 AM

I believe in respect of long standing and helpful people plus I am in the united states air force an have been for 10 years it's kind of engrained. But like I said I respect him a great deal for his helpfulness and generally cool demeanor. I wanted to make sure that no one would take offense and after reading what I posted before the edit it still could be construed as disrespect even tho none was intended so I modified it. Anyway thank u for the noticing of that tho

l8ter · 05-31-2012, 06:40 AM

I think cooldayr is a cool guy with a profounded knowledge and he is always polite as long as noone starts really talking crab .

English isn't my native language and there are days that i wish i had the needed language skills to talk on my own in such a polite manner.

Gotta work this out .
