Always lock users of iPhone have a big problem! Jailbreak is out but there is no unlock, if update you lose your signal. There is simple solution 1- use our custom firmwares 2- if you have iPhone 4 use TinyUmbrella to Prevent Baseband Update. Here is the guide.
This page ONLY deals with iPhone 4 baseband protection.
You can protect your iPhone 4 Baseband restoring to iOS 4.2.1. Follow these steps exactly:
1. Get the latest TinyUmbrella from blow.
2. Get the latest Greenpois0n rc5 update
3. Open TinyUmbrella
4. Plug in your device and save SHSH (make sure 4.2.1 SHSH were saved, if not don’t bother continuing)
5. Start TSS Server (If you get errors read the help section or FAQs or comment below typically it fails because you have some kind of web sharing enabled… use google to fix it – your issue really not much I can do…)
6. Open iTunes
7. Select your device in iTunes
8. Shift(windows) + restore / Option(Mac) + restore -> Select the 4.2.1 ipsw
9. Restore SHOULD error with a 1013 error. Click the “ok’s” and close iTunes.
10. With your device sitting with the usb pointing to iTunes (recovery mode), enter DFU by pressing and holding HOME + POWER until your screen goes black. then after a count of 2 (1.5-2 seconds) let go of POWER but keep holding HOME. If all goes well you will see nothing but a black screen. If your timing is even a LITTLE bit off, you will see the apple logo and your phone will boot back into recovery mode… Go back to step 10 and try again.
11. You’re now in DFU mode. Start greenpois0n and press ‘Jailbreak’
12. Once greenpois0n has finished its thing. Press ‘Complete!’
13. Let your device restart. You should end up on the activation screen.
14. Congrats your baseband was preserved and you are now on 4.2.1
15- Now you can unlock with Ultrasn0w
*If you get a 16XX error then try entering DFU and go to step 5.
**If your restore does NOT end in a 1013, it means your baseband was updated. This is likely because you did not have the TSS server running OR you updated without TinyUmbrella OR you are working with a device OTHER than iPhone 4.

[...] Remember: Do not update to iOS 4.2.1 if you need the unlock. Ultrasn0w does not support that baseband yet. The only exception is the iPhone 4. You can update to iOS 4.2.1 without upgrading your baseband by following this tutorial. [...]
[...] 4 : 1- if your baseband is 01.59.00 Prevent iPhone4 Baseband Update using TinyUmbrella 2- if your baseband is not 01.59.00 you have to wait for next Ultrasn0w [...]
