General rule of thumb is that if you updated you're iphone to a recent firmware without jailbreaking it or using tinyumbrella then you have upgraded the baseband and you will almost certainly not be able to unlock it until the dev team cracks the new baseband, which doesn't happen too often.

They may be waiting to see what Apple has in store for us regarding the iPhone 5 or 4S or whatever they end up calling it. If it sticks to the regular release schedule instead of august or september like people think, then it may make more sense to just hold onto the jailbreak for now.

Guys one question, what do you´ll know about those FACTORY UNLOCKED IPHONE 4 that APPLE sells in EUROPE and some parts of the US and even EBAY, what does that means?
Right now i am going to Spain, if i buy a factory unlocked iphone 4 in spain and i use a MOVISTAR chip in SPAIN, when i go back to the US can i put a T-MOBILE chip and it works in the US or not?

It will work with any gsm carrier in the world, which is most of them, but you won't be able to use T-Mobile 3g as it uses different bands so you'd be stuck on edge.

Ok so its confirmed that if a buy a UNLOCKED FACTORY IPHONE 4 it works with any GSM carrier of the world, the only downside is the 3G conection.

Yes, if you buy a factory unlocked iphone 4 it will work with any GSM carrier. It may or may not work with 3G depending on the carrier, but at the very least it will work as a phone.
As for the price, I seriously doubt you can get an unlocked phone for less than $600. Here is the Hong Kong website where they sell it unlocked. http://store.apple.com/hk/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone
The price ranges from about $640 to $770

Just to be clear, contractless doesn't always mean unlocked. As is the case with AT&T here in america.

Yeah contractless doesn't always mean unlocked.
Hmm, I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 to 4.3.2 (originally I wanted to restore my iOS 4.3.1, but it's not signed anymore), but it seems that I am not able to... What am I doing wrong?
- Trying to restore to 4.3.2 via Apple's server, it's giving me the 10xx error
- Tried kicking it out of recovery using TinyUmbrella, still looping to the recovery screen
- Tried to restore to 4.3.2 via TSS Server, since I have the SHSH for it, still giving me the 10xx error.
Please help
Phone's been stuck like this for an hour or so at least.

You don't care about baseband? If so, Go into Tinyumbrella > Advanced > Uncheck Set hosts to cydia
Kirby102 said:I'm running it, it seems that each time I open it, it closes all instances of iTunes, which is weird since it needs friggen iTunes and iTunesHelper.
*biggest rage fit imminent*
I feel your pain, Just last Sat/Sunday I was raging when I spent about 4hrs trying to get my 3GS to 4.3.2 while maintaining the baseband.

Was wondering if someone who knows css can help me fix this widget im using
It is the weather/date widget that can be found here:
http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16809357
when i enable it through winterboard it looks fine, but i only want it on my first page so I decided to enable it through PerPageHTML+ instead and when I do that its not lined up properly
here are 2 screenshots comparing it on winterboard vs PerPageHTML+
and here is the code for the .css file, I have no idea what im supposed to change to make the entire thing move up, any help would be appreciated:

Oh, I know you didn't mean that I just wanted to make sure others knew that. Wouldn't want someone spending $600 on a locked phone from AT&T.

To add to that, the more SHSH blobs you have stored (locally or via Cydia), the greater your options for downgrading your firmware, should you want to. Now that you have the 4.3.2 blob saved, you'll be able to return to 4.3.2 even once Apple pushes 4.3.3 through and stops signing 4.3.2.

Did you ever resolve this?
Are you trying to install vanilla 4.3.2?
An error 1003 (IIRC) is normal if you're using TinyUmbrella to preserve the baseband, and all it means is that the baseband update failed (which is what you want). The next logical step in most JB tutorials would be to power into DFU recovery mode and use a JB app (such as greenpois0n) to JB the vanilla FW you just installed.
With 4.3.1 and 4.3.2, the old limera1n and greenpois0n apps are no longer supported, so you should be using PwnTunes, redsn0w or sn0wbreeze (depending on your needs and PC OS) to install 4.3.x. For preserving baseband and installing via a Windows PC, sn0wbreeze is recommended, in which case you don't need TinyUmbrella at all, as what sn0wbreeze does is take that vanilla 4.3.2 IPSW file and convert it into a custom 4.3.2 IPSW for you to install via iTunes. With sn0wbreeze you have the option to install a "clean" and non-JB'ed version of 4.3.2, or a JB'ed 4.3.2. Regardless of which way you go, sn0wbreeze will ALWAYS preserve baseband (which is why you don't need TSS.

figured out how to get the SB-Widget lined up properly with PerPageHTML, if anyone wants to use it I can send you my files
Does anyone know if there is a weather icon pack that looks the same as the icons in the default iOS weather app that could be used with this widget?

using PerPageHTML so the weather widget only shows up on the first page, and gridlock to move the icons to the bottom row, it is fully animated but im pretty sure it rapes the battery

I just jailbroke my phone today for the tethering. I was actually going to pay the extra $30 a month and I've had an iPhone since the 2007 launch, none of them have been jailbroken. Today AT&T tried to con me out of giving up my unlimited plan without telling me. I was so pissed I jailbroke it.
All you need to do is google: "GreenPoison iPhone". Click on your respective OS and download. Follow the steps as the app guides you. It's very simple. I would encourage you to watch a YouTube video on how to do it just in case.

Use that video to guide you. It's the exact same thing on OSX, in-case you were wondering.

Yeah I know. I'm going to change the TLL of my computer tomorrow as soon as I learn how to do it on OSX 10.6. Fuck them, I've been a loyal customer for 20 years and they tried to con me out of my unlimited plan. I have, and have had, home phones (x3), DSL and two cell phones with the company for a long, long time.
So there's a new app on Cydia called DataDeposit that backs up game saves/app settings do Dropbox and auto restores them when you reinstall your phone or get a new one.
Using a quick test of backing up a game save and deleting/reinstalling the app, then restoring using DataDeposit, it worked perfectly.
PS. It's free!

Is there something useful in 4.3.3 besides the removal of the location cache?

Can anyone here confirm if 4.3.3 updates your baseband?
I'm also on 04.10.01, even though there's no unlock for it now, I like to begin thinking ahead and start preserving my baseband. Just in case if I go overseas this summer for a trip, I like to take my Locked phone with me and unlock it.
So what's my best options at this point? Since there's no unlock for my Baseband (04.10.01) Should I (might as well) carelessly update and jailbreak 4.3.3 through Redsn0W. Or someone can recommend me something else?
Thanks
