I just got one 16GB from a friend's friend. I popped in my sim card(T-mobile) and it works and there is cydia. So I checked its bootloader and baseband info with fuzzyband. Amazingly the bootloader is 5.09 and baseband is 2.28.......
That means its unlocked by apple or at&t?
Nothing weird about you iPhone!!! It's not unlocked by AT&T or Apple. It's unlocked by yellowsn0w.
i thought that only works with bootloader 5.08 or older, mine is 5.09........how is that possible?Quote:

BUT: If the bootloader is 5.8 (5.0.8), you can downgrade the baseband from 02.30 to 02.28. Does only work for bootloader 5.8 NOT for 5.9.....Quote:

For now I would just enjoy the iPhone 3G and see whats coming up on Monday, maybe firmware 3. AGAIN BUT: dont update then, you'll be stuck. Wait and check with us here ;-)
This phone is running on 2.2.1 firmware. The basedband was downgraded to 2.28? But how was that possible with bootloader 5.9?Quote:
