could you please confirm, in case i want to preserve baseband, the only point is to mark the “Activate the iPhone [Hactivate]” option? It is not quite clear in the explanation above.

  por tu nombre creo q hablas español, sino disculpa, cuando haces click en “Activate the iPhone [Hactivate]” lo q hace es q no te pida el sim del carrier oficial en mi caso T&t, cuando haces click en Build IPSW y desp en la flecha te crea una nuebva IPSW y esa es la q le tenes q instalar q no tiene el baseband nuevo! saludos espero q se entienda

        3 thered boot
        4 install the Untether Patch Rocky Racoon

Regarding your warning “Check mark Activate the iPhone [Hactivate] only if you do NOT have the official carrier SIM card;” I don’t clearly understand. What’s the impact if I checked mark against this? Actually, I followed steps above, everything looks good except “No Service” when I inserted cell phone carrier SIM card. I’m not sure if it caused from checking [Hactivate]. If it’s, what I should do, rebuild IPSW without checking [Hactivate] or other option to avoid restore 5.1.1. Thank you.

I have used the above way to upgrade my iphone4 (oldios:4.3.3 , BB:4.10.01 ) to ios 5.1.1 Hoodoo 9B208 with snowbreez 2.9.5 without AT&T simcard – i used Hacktivation mode ( it’s preserve baseband it self) and with gevey simcard just get signals, and NOW every thing works fine,

  put your device into PWNED DFU Mode first, either using Sn0wbreeze’s or RedSn0w
