iPhone 3g Jailbreak/Unlock

This will only work on an iPhone 3g, to check go to settings>general>about and make sure the model # starts with MB the first thing you need to do is plug the iphone and and make sure itunes doesnt open, then use ireb for iphone 3g and keep the iphone in dfu mode. then open itunes hold shift and click on restore then browse to the Jailbreak 3g file included and double click. to unlock go on cydia and let it update and click complete upgrade, reboot then go back on cydia>manage>sources>repo666>ultrasnow>install Because this hactivates the phone you will need to install push fix for youtube to work and push notifications, on cydia homepage find more package sources and add the iphoneModding repo and install push fix. this is mainly to unlock/jailbreak an iPhone 3g without updating the baseband, if you need to unlock and your baseband is upgraded to much you need to use the secendary jailbreak folder, also if you dont care about saving your baseband, you can just use the redsn0w from the folder. THIS WONT WORK ON MAC

This worked on my iPhone 3G with 4.3.5. Thank you, d.v.m.

Damn DVM
I usually don't right comments, but I had to thank you.
I tried so so so many jailbreaks, cuz mine would not get out of anything, this thing did it so easy and simple
Thanx again

I switched cell phone carrier before using this jaikbreak and now I can't update Cydia with the app. Is there a way to update Cydia thru the computer?

d.v.m. (2011-11-21)

@isakdenende there is a way but its far too complicated, just let cydia refresh and click complete upgrade

isakdenende (2011-11-21)

@d.v.m. Thanks for your reply mate. My problem is that when I refresh cydia it keeps saying "Unable to load - The Internet connection appears to be offline", even tho I have a wifi connection (but no service). Thus I can't complete the upgrade.

d.v.m. (2011-11-22)

@isakdenende then use the secondary jailbreak folder and follow the instructions for that jailbreak but choose install cydia

@isakdenende it also might be the country where you live, You might have to do some research and change the repositories to where you live.

Apple iphone 3g 16gb
in the (general) screen from phone it reads:
Version: 4.2.1 (8C148)
Carrier: AT&T 9.0
Model: MB499LL
Modem Firmware: 05.15.04
I got a sim card from At&T for free - result: (No Service) on phone.

I want to use it as a AT&T gophone - Is that possible?

It has Wi-Fi that works great.
I have a Mac Pro. Help me tap this iphone.
