With the RedSnow update adding support for iOS 5.1.1 few days ago, the unlock utility UltraSnow also got updated to support software unlock for jailbroken iPhone devices running iOS 5.1.1. With the main emphasis being towards jailbreak, for many users unlocking the device is also the part of the process to get their devices running. For this purpose we have provided a step by step procedure to guide you through the process.
Before we start with the guide, there are few things that should be know before continuing. The main thing to know is the baseband version on which this software unlock works. To check which baseband you are running, goto Settings > General > About and see the Modem firmware version.
