Before Updating to iOS 5:

DO NOT upgrade to iOS 5 using the stock firmware from Apple. Doing so will cause your iPhone 4 to lose its unlock by upgrading its unlockable baseband. You don't want that of course. Instead of using the stock iOS 5 firmware, we will be cooking our own iOS 5 custom firmware using the latest version of Redsn0w which we will be using to upgrade our iPhone 4 to in order to preserve your unlockable baseband. This way we can use Gevey SIM to unlock your device after the upgrade. Just follow this mini guide first:
  • Download the latest version of Redsn0w (0.9.10b1) for Windows or Mac  , which has a new feature that lets you create custom IPSWs. 
  •  For iOS 5 IPSW download links, click here.
  • Launch Redsn0w and click "Extras" from the main menu and then select "Custom IPSW"How to create custom IPSW using redsn0w guide here. 
  • Redsn0w will now create the custom IPSW for you.
  • Once that's done, enter "Pwned DFU" mode through Redsn0w's "Extras" option.
  • After that restore to the custom firmware we've created earlier using iTunes 10.5 (download links here).
  • Now you can use Gevey SIM to unlock your device.
