IMPORTANT: Please READ and Understand all iPhone 3g users DO NOT Update your iPhone 3g to new 4.1 firmware that is used in this Video if you rely on Ultrasn0w or Blacksn0w to Unlock. Reason being new 4.1 Firmware will make you loose your Unlock since it changes your baseband. And the current baseband 5.14.02 (belongs to 4.1 Firmware) is Unlockable at this time. So Please read all of the above again if something is not clear.
