How to Upgrade to iOS 5 And Preserve Your iPhone Baseband For Unlock

[freepalistine4me]

does this work the same way for windows??

and by preserving baseband ....you mean updating to ios 5.0.1 and keeping my baseband the same one it is now?? mine is 4.10.01

[cleric022684]

What if my phone is Jailbroken and I want to keep all my apps and just upgrade the system to iOS 5

[123456789dulys]

Will this work for iPod touch?

[freepalistine4me]

@123456789dulys you dont need this on ipod touch only for iphone....but you can jailbreak on ios 5 ....watch my video on my channel

[08ender80]

hold shift + restore to select custom ipsw. but now we're stuck in DFU :(

[estePECAN]

My phone went black and it won't turn on or anything does anyone know a solution to this problem?

[freepalistine4me]

@estePECAN its called DFU mode.... just hold the power and home button until you see the apple icon

[estePECAN]

does this work for windows?

[aaronl1]

what about this problem!!!!!?????? i was able to follow you until 2:39... but the difference is once i press the restore button on itunes it says "are you sure you want to restore the iphone..." yada yada yada... itunes will verify the restore with apple... cancel or restore and update are my options to pick... WTF!!! Headache right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[freepalistine4me]

@aaronl1 if on windows press shift and the restore button toigether to get the screen he got.

[RapRockHockey]

What if ive already jailbroken and tried to get it unlocked it obviously did not work the baseband was not right, can i still fix it?

[j2dun]

Do I have to download the iOS 5 to install it for my phone??

If yes, where can I download it.. Links??

[freepalistine4me]

@j2dun download them from iclarifeid or flexburns

[101488patel]

what if im already jailbroken and unlocked can i still update it to ios 5 by using the custom ipsw and preserving the baseband will i lose the jailbreak?

[tonydayna]

WHAT VERSION OF ITUNES SHOULD WE USE?!!

[XKC12]

im stuck on 3:00 its say the phone could not be restored because the fireware is not compatible......what do i do now?

[Kpkenny96]

im soooo afraid of trying this lol...

i have a iphone 4 4.3.3 baseband 4.10.01.

im afraid its going to mess up during the update and stuff..

[badgot]

do i jailbreak it now with thertherd or untethered?

[karlagv1994]

When I hit restore... it didn't give me the option to choose an update from my itunes file like yours did in the video. I freaked so I stopped the extraction of the software. How come it bypassed that section? How am I suppose to choose the no...bb software? Or should I just let it run?

[spikes12231]

@karlagv1994 i dont know if this is too late or if u already looked it up but what he did when he clicked restore is he held shift and clicked (windows) or option and clicked(mac)

[karlagv1994]

@spikes12231

Thanks... No I haven't tried it yet. I'm an amateur.. loll

[The40nontyy3]

thanks!

[F1TZY22]

I am currently on iOS 4.3.3 with Baseband 4.10.01, and was wondering if I update to 5.0.1 using my NO_BB ipsw, will my baseband stay at 4.10.01, and When I jailbreak with redsn0w, will my phone get hacktivated, as I dont have an AT&T sim? Thanks.

[fizzmaverick]

@F1TZY22 id liek to know as well. im in the exact same situation! thanks

[wormz1]

[GnarlySkates]

[JerkFace62]

[TerryKha]

@cchayann Do you have iPhone 3G/3GS with baseband 06.15.00 and got error 1015 on restore iTunes?

This error is because you havee iPad baseband.

[larks1717]

[jenniinguyen14]

Hi there, i updated my iPhone 4 to ios 5 on iTunes without preserving the base hand so right now my firmware is 4.11.08. Is there anyway I can still unlock my iPhone using the gevey sim card..please help me out!

[DudeRanch909]

[HolocaustPlayer]

[sapphirezobi]

[disneygolfed]

[bluengt3]

[deejaycherub]

[gualwer]

I have baseband 06.15.00 .. can I do this to upgrade to ios 5? will I get stuck in recovery mode? helppp

[DecadeRican]

it doesn't let me update it says error 11. How do I update??

[musemic80]

when will i be able to do this on a windows ?

[xEpiicFuze]

wheres the links??? and will i be able to restore to factory settings off itunes after doing this??

[thong04]

my iphone is working now. Thank you very much!!!

[musemic80]

i dont have that custom ipsw option im on windows 7., help?

[rnld23]

i did the iOS 5 And Preserve Your iPhone Baseband For Unlock but Now i have only one signal bar... any fix for it

[missrebel330]

when i go to itunes and click restore. the same screen dosnt pop up . how can i make that screen pop up

[thong04]

@missrebel330 @myjailbreakmovies I have the same problem. It gives me two options either 'cancel' or 'restore and update'. For the latter I fear that it will automatically update w/o baseband preserved.

[thong04]

@myjailbreakmovies what if i delete the original ipsw, rename the no_bb to the same name with the original, and just update via itunes automatically?

[thong04]

@missrebel330 Just hold 'option' key while you click 'restore' button.

[ComputerChip1992]

my iTunes gives me this message "iphone isn't eligible for the requested build" how do i fix this please someone HELP

[frank231090]

[mardally84]

thanks very helpful i still don't own any iOS device but this may help me decide

[NINKman]

Okay solved my problem, make sure you have NOT edited your host files.

[NINKman]

My iPhone 3GS keeps getting stuck on error (11), not eligible for the build. Can anyone help. I have edited my host files and done everything but it never works?

[loues007]

DO I NEED TO HAVE SIM CARD INSTALLED?? MY PHONE CAME FROM JAPAN AND IM HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES....DO THIS VIDEO MAKES MY PHONE USE ANY TYPE OF CARRIER???ANWER ASAP..XD

[FullMetal010]

is there a way to unlock my phone if i already upgraded to ios5 but forgot to prevserve the baseband?

[MrMegatron2002]

@FullMetal010 wait until ultrasn0w upgrade to iOS 5, or wait until Gevey Sim support iOS 5 baseband, or restore to 4.3.3, wait until the untethered jailbreak and unlock.

[NINKman]

Do you use the "no bb" file when jailbreaking afterwards?

[MrMegatron2002]

@NINKman no, only use the one said: BB, for UNLOCKING or RESTORING!!! NOT jailbreak, if yes, use the stock one.

[Decade11124]

PLS help me i just upgraded my phone and now its ios5 but then i noticed that my Tmoblie sim card won't work any more, and thats's when i saw your video and konw that its too late for me. BUt is there any ways to get my BB back ?PLS help me

[Lueserz]

@Decade11124 download itunes 10.4.1 uninstall itunes 10.5 and everything associated with it. EVERYTHING, then download the IPSW for 4.3.5, and enter into DFU, hit Restore and search in library and you're good to go.

[Decade11124]

@Lueserz where can i download IPSW for 4.3.5 or 4.3.3. and can you make a video showing how to do it? Also let say if everything went well and after its 4.3.5 can i still do what you did in the video and upgarde to IOS5 and still preserve my BB?

[hotlantajeff]

Hi, bought a used iPhone 4, they install ISO 5 that updated the base band to 4.11.08, can I do a custom IPSW to get to a old base band

[nityal]

hey my iphone 4 is not factory unlocked and i updated it so what should i do to get my baseband back to unlock my phone

[TheMotorazr2]

how can i edit my host file..... can you plz tell me the procedure or if you could give me any link for that to remove my "cannot connect to iphone software update server" issue?

[9907402343]

@TheMotorazr2 search in youtube brother there are many videos to do that one guy macboyproductions has made 1 on that see

[laker4vida213]

great video! BUT when itunes restores my iphone the bar gets completed and just stays like that. itunes still says its restoring. its been a while. What can i do? my iphone is 0n 4.2.1 using gevey sim.. Thankyou!

[secondnaturerec]

I get an error saying I cant install the OS after I choose the NO BB ispw. it loads for a little bit then I get error. Anyone know why? I have iPhone 4 4.3.4 baseband 4.10.01

[anigorr23]

Thanks a lot!!! I just updated two iPhones from AT&T and as Steve Jobs would say: "It just works". Everything works perfectly!!

[hengsokkung]

Great!

[anigorr23]

While doing the preserved baseband, the iPhone has to be with the original carrier's sim inside?

[rafidiisme]

So wait this isnt how to unlock but how to be able to unlock for the future? How do you unlock it in the here and now?

[ferrai360]
