- Select the 5.1.1 ipsw file for your iPhone 4

- In next page Gevey Sim users select Baseband Preservation Mode . This will preserve your existing unlockable baseband . Ultrasnow and Gevey Ultra users select Simple Mode because they need Cydia in order to download UltraSnow and FuriousMod 5.1.1 Fix . All the modes preserve baseband by default.

- In this step it will ask you whether you want to hacktivate or not. Select “Yes” because we want to use the SIM card from unofficial carrier.

- Launch iTunes. It will detect your iPhone 4 in Recovery Mode . Press and hold SHIFT key on the keyboard and press Restore on iTunes . Select the custom no_bb 5.1.1 ipsw file and iTunes will begin the restore process .
- After the restore is complete , install Gevey Sim in the micro sim slot and follow the Gevey Sim Unlock process to get the unlock . UltraSn0w users skip to Step 9 . SAM unlock users with preserved bb_tickets skip to Step 12
- Since the official Ultrasn0w does not support iOS 5.1.1 yet, so first install the Ultrasn0w Fixer iOS 5.1.1 and then install the actual Ultrasn0w.
