No need ultrasn0w or any unlock tool if u are base-band 04.26.08 just download pwnagetool 3.1.5 and fw-3.1.3 make costom restore expert mode. don’t go to DFU mode open itunes then press (mac alt) or (windows option) key click restore. Then find a file iPhone1,2_3.1.3_7E18_Custom_Restore.ipsw click it
Thats it
