Question about 4.2 unlock on iphone...

[FearoftheNight]

I have a jailbroken iphone 3gs on 4.1 fw/shsh. Can I unlock with the new 4.2 unlock or no? How would I go about doing this?

Have you looked on the iPhone Dev Team's website? The unlock is very complicated.

nah its loading the ipad baseband permanently which could limit your future upgrades forever. Also 4.2.1 is tethered unless they've come out with MC 3GS comex hack yet. doubt it.

ah ok. would you happen to know if a real unlock is coming down the pipeline?

Well it is a "real" unlock, but you are stuck with a 6.xx baseband. Also it will be a tethered jailbreak for the time being (possibly forever) pending comex et al being able to find a hole/hack to untether it.

Personally (and I have the same phone/FW unlocked) I would wait for PWNage to work with 4.2.x before upgrading.
