It took a while, but I finally got it. I used a combination of applications for Windows and Mac.

Essentially, the steps for iPhone 3GS are:
1. Create a custom firmware (CFW) with: iPad baseband 06.15.00, hacktivation, jailbreak. I used sn0wbreeze 2.8 for Windows. (If you have iPhone 4, I think the same applications named below will work with iPhone 4, but ignore anything I say about the baseband.)
2. Put the iPhone in "pwned DFU mode" and use iTunes to load the CFW. The iPhone will attempt to restart but will never finish. (pwned DFU mode is different than regular DFU mode. It must be in pwned DFU mode to accept CFWs.)
3. Since iOS 5.0.1 is an "untethered jailbreak", you must boot with a program every time. So I used redsn0w 0.9.9b9 to do this, but for some reason it won’t actually restart the phone. So then I use iBoot while the phone is still in a "receptive" mode.
4. Once it turns on, go through the setup process. You can restore from a backup via iTunes if you want (I did).
5. Go to Cydia and download ultrasn0w after adding the repository repo666.ultrasn0w.com. Install ultrasn0w and let the phone attempt to reboot (go back to setup 3, then to step 6).
6. Insert your SIM card and wait for the iPhone to find your new carrier!
