hi guys my mates 3g is on 4.2.1 and baseband 05.15.04 which says snowbreeze cant unlock.but i read a link saying it can be with redsn0w 0.9.6b5 and download ipad firmware 3.2.2 now i did it all but the fone wont reboot after it searched and found ipad firmware...can anyone tell me what im doing wrong please...thanks in advance..ps ive downloaded the correct firmware too
 
Using the iPad firmware is very risky mate.

Firstly you can never downgrade and will be stuck on iPad firmware forever, secondly, you will loose your GPS.

If you run F0recast on it, it will tell you to that you can JB the phone and to unlock it you need to install the Ipad firmware, but that's bullshit as no current software will jailbreak your phone, to add to the pain all mainstream support for the 3G is practically dead.

Is there any reason why your mate can't call the network provider and get it unlocked properly?

I feel like I'm missing some other info here, but I'm not sure what it is, lol.
If you run your phone through F0recast, it will give you extra info about your baseband, this number is critical and decides whether or not you can upgrade, IIRC, if the last digit is more that 8 then you are in shitsville.

I think. :)

ok thanks for that lads..now my mates 3g i jailbroke for him it was on 4.0 i i unlocked it for him,now the best bit hes only gone and updated cus apparently it was dead slow which he read and hes just rang me and his sim no longer works lol..is that cus he updated.
 
is that cus he updated.

yup
and you will find that the baseband will have been updated too so you wont beable to software unlock that either.
you can get gevey sims on ebay wich will unlock it, but you have to repeat the unlock procedure each time the phone is turned off.
 
can anyone point me in right direction for this gevey sim for a 3g can only find them for iphone 3gs and iphone 4..please

i would imagine the 3g/3gs would be the same aslong as the baseband and firmware are compatible.
email a seller on ebay and ask if it would work in yours
