Can someone in plain English tell me why we are unlocking the phone? What is this jailbreak and unlock thing? I am really curious. Does it do more? What???? Please explain and hopefully write more than just typing one line. I am all ears and I would really appreciate it. I want to learn. Thanks.

to understand more you need first to understand what is an iphone.
becuz you seems to be from an other planet .
Is it correct in thinking that there is no legitimate way to unlock iPhones ? After an update it could re-lock them?
normally if its unlocked you will see cydia on there also but that does not always mean it was unlocked.
but if you look at what version it is and its on the latest baseband and firmware you know it hasent been unlocked. and if you restore and it locks up then it has been unlocked, but i woulent risk that until there is an unlock for 4.1 then it wont be a risk doing that

Then Paliometoxo, tell me frankly...do you have your Iphone ONLY unlocked or also jailbreaked? this not very clear for me....and, after a soo long time, why, if, why did you not jailbreak it????

you cant unlock your phone and not jailbreak.. unless like me you got it factory unlock which means i can upgrade with out it ever locking, so if and when i do jailbreak its only to customise my phone and add apps apple dont want me to add, i dont need unlock tools like ultrasn0w
but atm i have mine jailbroken.

thanks again, and, sorry again, why I can NOT jailbreak mine? I used tinyumbrella, told-me, my unit is unlocked, I even did a restore from Itunes store, but, when doing so, Iphone could not finish it's restore....and, now, what next, neither Greenpois0n, and Limerain did not worked...Then, what is best? to wait for next release of 4.2 with it's new baseband...?
Paliometoxo,
I have a new, good or not I would see, but, after a Restore, from the Itunes store, I finally could see the Limerain drop in my Iphone and, sorry to have bothered you soo much, but now, I am happy and see what would come next...
thanks for newbies, and thanks for your help, then now I can change my signature...
go to settings > general > about and if its on 4.1 with baseband 2.10.04 then its unlocked as there is no unlock tool for that baseband, or restore and then you can see if it unlocks or locks

O.K. I looked in settings (General)...it is Verson 4.1 (8B117( with Modem Firmware 02.10.04.
I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying it is unlocked? Or are you saying that there is no unlock tool for that baseband....the last part, I don't get at all "or restore and then you can see if it unlocks or locks.
Also, in another note it was said when 4.2 comes out, 4.1 can be jailbroken and to wait for 4.2. I am lost. Thanks.
