| How to unlock iPhone 3G & 3GS on iOS 5 and 5.0.1 Dec 2nd 2011, 04:49 
If you've updated your iPhone 3G or 3GS to iOS 5 or 5.0.1 and lost your unlock we can help you get it back. The actual jailbreak will be tethered but you'll still be able to unlock and continue using your device in the mean time until an untethered jailbreak solution is released. iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S users should steer clear of this as it will not work. Devices supported What you'll need - RedSn0w 0.9.9b5 or later, we recommend the most current version which is RedSn0w 0.9.9b8 – Mac Link, Windows Link
- A working SIM card (doesn't matter what carrier as long as it's activated and working)
Jailbreak with RedSn0w and Install the iPad baseband 
You'll follow the same steps are you would to jailbreak via Redsn0w except for one difference. Instead of just checking Install Cydia you'll need to check off Install iPad baseband. RedSn0w will warn you that this can not be undone. Agree and continue the jailbreak process. Boot Tethered 
After jailbreaking you'll need to perform one tethered boot before unlocking. Simply launch RedSn0w again and click Extras. Check the box for Just boot tethered right now. You'll be walked through DFU mode and your phone should reboot. Install UltraSn0w After your phone reboots you'll need to perform the following steps to unlock it:  - Open Cydia and search for ultrasn0w
- Install the ultrasn0w package to your device.
- After installation is complete your phone should automatically ask you to reboot it. If it doesn't, reboot it manually.
- You'll need to jump into RedSn0w one more time and perform a tethered boot like you did above.
- Your phone should now be unlocked. It may say Searching… for a few minutes before finally connecting to the network.

Known Issues 
A few users have seen issues where their phone will not obtain service after using ultrasn0w on iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1. If you have this issue, launch RedSn0w once more and choose jailbreak again. Instead of going through the whole process this time, you only want to check Deactivate. Do one more tethered boot and you should be good to go!
