The hack works thanks to sbingner‘s new tool which called SAM (Subscriber Artificial Module) and redsn0w 0.9.6b6. Moreover this mix-up has fixed the battery consumption problem some have reported after unlocking iPhone 3GS/3G with ultrasn0w 1.2.
The guide doesn’t say if this new hack will be able to unlock the base-band of the the rather troublesome iOS 4.1 or 4.2.1, but rest assured we’ll be personally trying it in a few hours and will post our results.
