pwnage tool is hit and miss on the custom ISPW. What you can do is download a custom 4.2.1 ISPW already setup by Cydia . I had a 3G that had been upgraded to 4.1 and the latest baseband and the way I unlocked it was to download the prepared ISPW and then when it I put into itunes to do recovery I held down the option key( I think) so it gave me the option to not do the restore off itunes but off my desktop were I had the custom ISPW. Once I did that I was able to jailbreak it with RedSn0w.
I did this several months ago before the the unlock for 4.1 and 4.2.1 had even been released by Dev Team. My phone had baseband 05.14.03 on it.
Anyways at this point I would not even bother with anything below a 3GS. Though that is me.

Where can I find the ipsw from cydia? I would actually like to have a 3gs, but people think iphones are golden and ask crackhead prices around here for them, which I refuse to pay. I also dont know the history of the phone, for the fact I bought it from a coworker.
