Hi [[User:liamchat|liamchat]]! You just added 4.2.1GM beta rows. Thanks. Where do you have the baseband infos from? Did you install it on all devices or where does this info come from? Are you 100% sure the baseband versions are correct you added? --[[User:Http|http]] 22:05, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

::Ok, but please don't add unproven / possibly wrong information. There's no race to be the first to add the 4.2.1GM release. And please replace the ones you don't test with a question mark or something similar. --[[User:Http|http]] 22:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

:::Well, GreySyntax did [https://twitter.com/GreySyntax/status/5365655490527232 confirm on Twitter] that the 4.2.1 GM release for the iPhone 4 has [[03.10.01]]. I'm almost willing to bet that the iPhone 3G/3GS baseband is still [[05.15.04]], but it still hasn't been confirmed yet. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 22:21, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

::::I also saw that. But it was added for all devices and I think you should only add what you really know. That's why I initially added lots of empty fields instead of assuming something. I agree that it's probably correct. --[[User:Http|http]] 22:38, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not completely happy on the idea of having SHA1 hashes for beta firmwares. I do see it as useful if you need to verify the firmware, but I don't think it's necessary. The firmwares should have been downloaded from Apple by developers/hackers, not the Average Joe jailbreaker. I feel that the inclusion of SHA1 hashes is just to assist people in pirating the beta firmwares; that's the only reason I can think of that would make people want to verify their IPSW. Thoughts? --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 17:00, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Wrong Version?

For 3GS firmware 4.2GM the baseband doesn't match the value here. So one of these must be wrong. --http 08:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

liamchat baseband edit

Hi liamchat! You just added 4.2.1GM beta rows. Thanks. Where do you have the baseband infos from? Did you install it on all devices or where does this info come from? Are you 100% sure the baseband versions are correct you added? --http 22:05, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

no sorry i copied the 4.2gm table lines to help me add it faster however once i have finished downloading it i will check --liamchat 22:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, GreySyntax did confirm on Twitter that the 4.2.1 GM release for the iPhone 4 has 03.10.01. I'm almost willing to bet that the iPhone 3G/3GS baseband is still 05.15.04, but it still hasn't been confirmed yet. --Dialexio 22:21, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
