The redsn0w update is out
Typically you’d have the 06.15 baseband if you unlock with ultrasn0w but updated your iPhone baseband past 05.13.04. With this new capability, you can now downgrade specifically from 06.15 to 05.13.04 (even if you never had 05.13.04 on that device before). This gives you the best of both worlds: ultrasn0w compatibility and a normal iPhone baseband with full GPS and the ability to use stock IPSWs again. There will be a new version of Redsn0w (NOR fix) released on the 28th of June if you are having issues with the downgrade and followed the steps below, read here.
Those who are having trouble try these instructions: Have an internet connection. Then follow the following steps:
1. Download latest iTunes
2. Backup your phone in iTunes
3. Download 5.1.1 IPSW
4. Download latest Redsn0w
5. Clear the cache in Redsn0w
6. Select / navigate to the 5.1.1 IPSW in Extras
7. Go back and select jailbreak
8. Untick install cydia
9. Check baseband downgrade
10. Turn your phone off, slide to switch off
11. Then follow the prompts for DFU mode
12. After complete open iTunes
13. Restore via the IPSW you downloaded
14. Run redsn0w and check install cydia
15. Open iTunes again
16. Restore from Backup
If you are getting a 60000ms error on your iphone after a jailbreak with
redsnow, your only option is to snow breeze on a windows os. After you
download the 5.1.1 iswp file and have the current version of itunes. Use
snowbreeze to create a custom ispw. After that is finished use ireb in
snowbreeze to enter pwned dfu mode. Then restore from your custom ispw file
that you made from snow breeze and set up as a new phone.
NOTE If you get a 3014 error from itunes make sure you have enough room on your hardrive (AKA not red) you have a good internet connection, and briefly turn off your firewall till you jailbreak your iPhone. If you still get the 3014 error go here( http://www.iphonehail.com/fix-itunes-error-3014-3004-3002-1053.html ) and follow the steps to fix your host file. If you still get the 3014 error use a different computer to restore to the custom firmware you made, and then use iBooty to boot your idevise tethered.

Before you start all the steps i said, ensure that your phone actually boots up,
do not try when you have no screen or the apple booting screen, or the
greenpoison screen or a white screen.
Here are the download links. Enjoy!
- redsn0w 0.9.14b1 (OS X)
- redsn0w 0.9.14b1 (Windows — run in Administrator Mode)
Use the “Extras->Select IPSW” button in redsn0w to tell it which firmware version you have installed (new-bootrom 3GS users can usually skip this step but it doesn’t hurt for them to do it too).
- Do a controlled shutdown of your iPhone (“slide to power off”). This step is very important to avoid mount problems when the ramdisk is running!
- Go back to the first screen and click “Jailbreak”. Enable the “Downgrade from iPad baseband” checkbox, disable Cydia if you already have it installed, and click Next proceed through the normal DFU ramdisk steps.
After the ramdisk gets launched and you see the running Pwnapple, you’ll eventually get to the “Flashing Baseband” step. THIS STEP TAKES A VERY LONG TIME to complete and there won’t be any feedback while its running. Please just let it be for the next 3-8 minutes! When the ramdisk has done its job it will reboot the phone on its own.
For those who are wondering if you can update your 3G or 3GS to 06.15 solely for the purposes of downgrading to 05.13.04, the answer is “yes” for 3G owners, and “maybe” for 3GS owners. The iPad baseband is not compatible with 3GS units manufactured week 34 of 2011 or later. If you have an iPhone3GS and if digits 3-5 of its Serial Number are 134 or later (xx134…), then you should NOT try to install the 06.15 baseband on your 3GS! It will brick your radio, preventing both the downgrade from working and normal iPhone software from using it as a phone!
You can find your serial number in Settings > General > About > Serial Number

Finally! good news, the wait is over, MuscleNerd has just released his downgrade option for those who are on the notorious baseband 06.15.00 that ruined the GPS and made them unstable with loss of signal / reception and wifi.
