The following instructions will help you jailbreak iOS 4.1 on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS using Limera1n.

NOTE: If you rely on an unlock, do not update to iOS 4.1 yet as doing so will upgrade your baseband, making it impossible for now to unlock. Either use TinyUmbrella to update to iOS 4.1 without update baseband Instructions here, or wait for PwnageTool which will help you cook custom firmware files for iOS 4.1 without the upgraded baseband.

UNLESS YOU PRESERVED YOUR BASEBAND USING TINYUMRELLA WHEN UPDATING FW TO 4.1 THERE IS NO UNLOCK . untethered thanks to jailbreakme star comex

released today to get chronicdev to do the right thing
brought to you by geohot
Mac and Linux coming soon
follow the instructions in the box, sadly limera1n isn’t one click
that’s the price of unpatchability
as usual, donations appreciated but not required
still in beta, pardon my ragged edges
zero pictures of my face

Unlock for iOS 4.1 (Old Baseband)
There is currently no way to unlock your iPhone on the latest 05.14.02 baseband. If you have managed to preserve your baseband while upgrading to iOS 4.1 using TinyUmbrella, you can use the existing version of Ultrasn0w to unlock your iPhone on iOS 4.1. Step by step HERE

does it cover the iphone 3g ?? as it says all iOS devices but no mention on the 3g iphone ??

is it 4.1 that updates the phones baseband so becomes unable to unlock??

Cheers

IF U want your unlock mate dont update to 4.1 until ultra sn0w has been updated DEPENDING what your bootrom version is , i had no luck on 2 iphone 3g`s downgrading my baseband with the updated version of Fuzzyband 4.1.1 from 5.14.02 to 05.13.04 and ultrasn0w wont either yet until an update
The only way is if you used Tinyumbrella to update to 4.1 guide to do this is in the 1st post

Hi Marra if you update to 4.1 which you can update in itunes, if you require your idevice to be unlocked , by updating your fw you will inturn up date your baseband to 5.14.02 , which ive tied using fuzzyband, with ultrasn0w with ice, i had no joy doing so at the moment there are only a few iphones that can be unlocked as i like a numpty forgot to use tinyumbrella to update to 4.1[The only way is if you used Tinyumbrella to update to 4.1 guide to do this is in the 1st post]
