The Dev-Team could be working on an unlock for iPhone users who have already updated to official firmware 3.1.3 and find themselves stuck with no unlock options at the moment. Sherif Hashim has discovered an exploit that could be used to unlock the current iPhone baseband so the iPhone can be used with carriers other than AT&T.
This exploit was verified by Dev-Team's own MuscleNerd as a legitimate and working exploit. It's possible the Dev-Team would wait until the release of iPhone OS 4.0 on the next generation iPhone before revealing the exploit to Apple with a new unlock, however the new iPhone isn't expected to ship until later this summer.
MuscleNerd will defer to the Dev-Team's opinion on when to release the 5.12 unlock. Sherif Hashim's exploit uses a previously undiscovered security flaw that makes it possible to unlock the baseband.
Many iPhone users are already running the latest baseband (05.12.01) and can't downgrade to unlock their devices. The baseband refers to software that runs the iPhone's cellular modem, the hardware that communicates with the wireless network.

You need to put the original carrier's sim card in the phone Eg:AT&T or O2 this will get you back to the home screen.

No unlock for bb 05.12.01 is out yet! Why can't people understand that? Wait two weeks or so. Maybe a new unlock from Dev-Team or Geohot will come out when apple releases iOS4.

I just jailbroke my iphone 3gs firmware 3.1.3 with baseband 05.12.01 using spirit. You can download the exe file from http://spiritjb.com. This site has been posted on the DEV TEAM blog. It took approx. 2 mins to jailbreak my iphone and cydia is working just fine. I heard the unlocking software comes out June 10th. Can't wait to get my phone unlocked. CHEERS!!!

connect to itunes and then use that carrier sim card which the phone is lock with... your iphone will be open... after that you dont need to use the sim, you can use your iphone without the sim..... sorry for bad english

if you have an early bootloader you can downoad fuzzyband from cydia and it will downgrade your broadband to 4.26 then you can unlock with any program like redsn0w.

guys i got the unlock for 05.12 ... it definately works
after you jailbreak using the redsnow .
do the following steps in a wifi environment going to cedia
ti definately works
1. Start Cydia on your iPhone 3G /3GS and go to “add sources”.
2. Now type the following repo in the URL field : http://repo666.ultraSn0w.com.
3. Now search for ultrasn0w 0.93 using Cydia search bar. Once located, install by tapping the button on the top left corner of the display.
4. Let the installation complete and finally you will have an unlocked iPhone 3G / 3GS running jailbroken iOS 4.
i am so excited whooo hoooo ... thank you dev team and thank you ultrasnow

I'm running 3.1.3, 05.12.01 on 5.09 on an Iphone 3G and it's jailbroken. All I did was to install Ultrasnow, reboot my iphone and that's it, it's unlocked. I tried with fuzzyband but of course it didn't work.
