Hi, I want to find out if my phone have bootloaders 5.8 or 5.9? I have just purchased an iPhone 3G, but is has 2.2.1 software and I want to unlock it via YellowSn0w since thats the only possible way, right?
So how can I find out so I can use the Baseband Downgrade from Cydia?

If you only just bought your iphone the bootloader is almost certainly 5.9 :-(. Any iphone made after spetember 2008 was built with bootloader 5.9. I have the same issue on my iphone so i guess we're just gonna have to wait for devteam to figure out how to get past bootloader 5.9.
