I have a iphone 3gs with 3.1.2 and 05.11.07 baseband. but it's stuck in the recovery loop, i tried irecovery and it would not get it out of the loop.

Can i unlock it if i upgrade it to 3.1.3 with custom firmware made by pwnagetool 3.1.5? i did some research, and i am getting mixed results, some say it can unlock, and some site say it couldn't.

TIA :)
 
In NZ, all iPhones are factory-unlocked and yet I still see a lot of local users (on other, local forums) asking how to unlock them. I figured that it was worth checking.
 
i will just wait for the new release. thanks everyone for helping :)
 
I had this happen to my 3gs as well when I was on 3.1.2, and I was scared I would have to upgrade to 3.1.3. But what worked for me was I kept re-running blackra1n, over and over and over again. Probably about 5-6 times. I also used the iRecovery, and I dont really remember which program it was, but one of them randomly booted up my phone. I'm not promising it will help you, but it is definitely worth a try.

Just plug it in, and keep running blackra1n to see if it'll boot it up.

Once my phone did boot up, I had NO wifi... and all i did was simply reboot my phone, and it started itself up perfectly.
Worth a shot.
Good luck.
