This method will only work for iPhone 3G with bootloader version 5.08 (5.8)!
UPDATE: If you have an AT&T iPhone 3G/3GS, unlock it permanently using this.
You can quickly check your bootloader version by using TinyUmbrella. Download it from here. It should show your bootloader version right away.
Alternatively, you can also try using f0recast [Windows or Mac]. If you have bootloader 5.8, you will see the prompt below:
Lets start!
What you need:
- Jailbroken iPhone 3G
- Fuzzyband – install this from Cydia
- afc2add – install this from Cydia although not necessary
- i-Funbox – a file explorer for iPhone, Mac users can use DiskAid
- 5.15.04 certificate (download ICE2-05.15.04.cert) for Fuzzyband
Steps:
- Launch Fuzzyband after installing the app via Cydia.
- Connect your iPhone to the computer.
- Launch i-FunBox and select File, then go to Applications/Fuzzyband.app, right-click and then select Copy from PC.
- Copy ICE2-05.15.04.cert you have downloaded earlier to this location
- Go back to Fuzzyband and you can now begin the downgrade process. If the downgrade is successful, you should see “I Haz Downgrade“
- You can now unlock it with ultrasn0w.

Excellent! It really works for me. But several weeks ago I had tried with ICE2-06.15.00.cert with no success (Step 4) but later I read again and downloaded ICE2-05.15.04.cert and voila! it works like a charm… Thanks for your post…
Glad it worked for you!

hi. do you have by any chance a procedure for bootloader 5.09 Iphone 3G? need to unlock my phone. thanks!
have you tried updating to baseband 6.15?
i cant upgrade it to 6.15. for some reason redsnow does not recognize it when i follow the onscreen instruction. any tip?
you failed to bring it into DFU (black screen), try again – try with another USB port
i was able to finally upgrade it to 6.15 using Redsn0w but my wifi stopped working. i have 4.2.1 IOS. I was able to unlock however using DiskAid method (no WIFI needed) but I need WIFI connectivity on my Iphone 3G. Help, pls!
flash your baseband one more time
i was able to upgrade it to 6.15 but went back to 3.1.3 due to issues I encountered in 4.2.1
now my wifi is still not working even when I was on 4.2.1 bb 6.15. pls help.
try using redsn0w to reflash your baseband
what exactly do you mean by flashing the baseband using redsn0w?
use redsn0w to flash your baseband to 6.15.00
it is now on 6.15.00 but stil wifi is not working. can't identify any wifi connection at all. hope there is a solution to this.
maybe it's a broken wifi chip
it only stopped working after jailbreaking.
this works perfectly
nice!
if you're downloading from 5.15.04 to 5.13.04, why use 6.15.00 certificate?
what about 5.15.04 with bootloader 6.4? – any luck ?
none unfortunately
what about 5.15.04 with bootloader 5.9
Works like a charm iOS 4.2.1, iPhone 3G, Bootroom 5.08 — downgraded baseband and managed to unlock !!! A+++++
just follow the instructions !!!
I upgraded to 4.2.1, lost WIFI and SIM is locked. How can Install FUZZYBAND ?
Cheers

How can I downgrade it ?
I have iOS 4.2.1 (Jailed)

the only was to unlock it is to update the bb to 6.15
What are the risks and benefits of upgrading to 6.15
I updated my iPhone accidentally on iTunes not knowing the activation until now.
benefit – you can unlock for any network, risk – GPS will not work
a trick question: how to change bootloader from 5.9 to 5.8? any possibility?
zero possibility
I have the same problem as you @Purehate.
I upgraded by Itunes by mistake.. and now i have a useless phone.

I have Iphone 3G, booloader 5.8, baseband 05.15.04 and iOS 3.1.2, but i can´t do this!
When i open Fuzzyband appears a message:
"Downgrading ICE2-05.15.04 is not supported at this time"
Please tell me what´s the problem, because if this guide is for 05.15.04 why fuzzyband says is not supported!
Try again!
DID NOT WORK! and paid $10 for the software. Thanks for nothing
contact your seller to claim your $10 back

guys pls how can i upload boostloader on ma 3g 16 gg. am having problem wit ma baseband.
Your instructions didn’t work at all for me. It turns out redsn0w doesn’t work correctly with iTunes 10.6. Neither does f0rcast. Tiny Umbrella works, but did not show my bootloader version. I finally went with the following instead:
1. Restore to 4.2.1
2. Download redsn0w 0.9.6rc19 and the 4.2.1 ipsw file.
2. Run redsn0w 0.96rc19.
3. Select the IPSW for 4.2.1 I had already downloaded.
4. Install cynthia to jailbreak.
5. Use cynthia to install fuzzyband.
6. Run fuzzyband.
At that point I stopped, as fuzzyband reported I have bootloader 05.09.
So since I couldn’t downgrade, preceeded with the upgrade.
7. Download redsn0w 0.99.10b6.
8. Download itunesMobileDevice.dll
9. Copy itunesMobileDevice.dll to the redsn0w 0.9.10b6 directory.
10. Rename itunesMobileDevice.dll to MobileDevice.dll.
11. Run redsn0w 0.99.10b6
12. Select the ipsw file.
13. Jailbreak. Uncheck the install Cynthia and battery checkboxes. And check the ipad baseband checkbox.
14. Once jailbroken install ultrasn0w with cynthia and reboot.
Of course the problem with upgrading is it is one way only, and for some people the GPS doesn’t work afterwards. For me the GPS is working fine, but I notice there are no longer any location services settings. So my guess is if you upgrade with your GPS turned off, it will remain off forever. If you upgrade with your GPS turned on, and you are lucky it will remain on forever.
For those trying different versions of redsn0w here is what I found with iTunes 10.6 instealled. 0.99.10b6 will give an an allocate (233) error if you try to install cynthia. The earlier versions of 0.99.10b* will not recognize the iPhone as connected in DSU mode. Consequently this is why I ended up using 0.96rc19 for the initial breaking.
As I commented above f0rcast is broken and tiny umbella are useless. However, even if they worked it seems like a redundant extra step since fuzzyband will report the bootloader version.
Oh excuse me, my comments should have been posted on the page that referenced this page, as that is the page that gave the parts of the instruction that didn’t work.
This seems a bit more straightforward:
