How to Update to iOS 4.3.1 and Preserve iPhone 4 1.59.00 Baseband [Tutorial]

By Kickstar13 on Apr 4, 2011

Now that Redsn0w 0.9.6rc9  finally provides the long awaited iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak, many iPhone 4 owners with unlocked iPhones’ have been advised to hold off upgrading to 4.3.1 as you will lose the ability to unlock, since the newer firmware will update your baseband.

Furthermore, as we’ve mentioned earlier this morning, the new iOS 4.3.1 firmware currently is incompatible with the Dev Team’s ultrasn0w unlock tool. It is recommended that you wait for the Dev Team to update this tool before upgrading and jailbreaking.

But for those anxious to update to the new iOS 4.3.1 firmware and still preserve their iPhone 4 1.59.00 baseband so they can be guaranteed an unlock when the Dev Team updates their ultrasn0w tool, follow our tutorial below.  Read More

By Kickstar13 on Mar 17, 2011

If you’ve launched Cydia today, you’ll notice that it is now showing your SHSH blob for iOS 4.3 official and beta builds (if you saved them).

Although it is already too late to save your iOS 4.2.1 SHSH blobs, if Cydia isn’t showing you’ve saved your iOS 4.3 SHSH blobs, you may want to fire up TinyUmbrella and save them while you still can. As we’ve stated before, saving your SHSH blobs can come in handy for future jailbreaks, such as Jailbreak Monte.
