For anyone using a Grevey for the 4S and installed iOS6, is it still working?

Has anyone tested it? Can i preserve baseband, if yes how? Or can i downgrade to 5.1.1 with 2.0.12?
You cannot preserve baseband on the 4S, it requires a bootrom exploit. I highly doubt you will be able to downgrade baseband once updated.
However, the Gevey Ultra S sim has officially worked on all firmwares(the exception being CDMA carrier versions, which require jailbreak to work, were not supported in 5.1 and 2.0.10 baseband since it was never jailbroken for the 4S) and basebands in the 4S, and still was unofficially supported in the CDMA carrier 4S running 5.1.1 and baseband 2.0.12(officially supported now) for a short time after the untethered jailbreak appeared waiting for an update to support 5.1.1, who is to say it will/will not work officially/unofficially in all future updates...my guess is it should continue working.

Yes you can go back to public build from beta builds, Apple started doing this in iOS5 beta last year
You can restore back to whatever is currently being signed, yes, but I am pretty damn certain you cannot downgrade a baseband once updated...yet. Even if you are freely allowed to test the beta and restore back to a signed production release, there is no exception to the baseband update, you're stuck with it.
Baseband gets downgraded also, did it a few times after testing iOS 5.1.1 months ago.
I'm current using iOS 6, returned to iOS 5 for testing briefly last night and the baseband went back to 2.0.12.
Back on iOS 6 by the morning
Say what? Downgraded baseband months ago? Using the sudo downgrade from IOS 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 using blobs? Can't happen sorry to say it will not downgrade the BB.
Oh golly, they let you downgrade baseband...not! Doubt it was ever even being updated, purely cosmetic only in software...
Does the downgrade process reboot and have a second progress dialog? That be the baseband, if not then it's not being updated or downgraded at all.

LOL x 100
iOS 5.1.1 Beta downgrade to iOS 5.1.0 Public, just like how I just when from iOS6 back to iOS 5.1.1 tonight.
Public builds you can't downgrade the basebands when the IPSW are not signed anymore.
Had to be a smartazz and leave out the detailz, I don't see where you mention anything about a beta when you downgraded a baseband months ago...
So I was wrong on the beta stuff, who cares, I don't mess with beta's... but I wouldn't be surprised if the beta baseband version is purely cosmetic. Care to prove that one??? I was still right with the production firmware and basebands.
Sure since you've requested it LOL
This happened last year, iOS 5 beta 2 baseband got updated and blocked the Gevey Sim
"iPhone 4′s baseband has been updated from 4.11.04 (Beta 1) to 4.11.06 (Beta 2)
iPhone 3GS’ baseband version is 5.20.00 (Beta 2)
It is now confirmed that Gevey Turbo SIM no longer works on iPhone 4 on iOS 5 Beta 2.
So far Dev Team is out of luck in finding any new exploits and the unlock for the following basebands:
iPhone 4: 2.10.04, 3.10.01, 4.10.01, 4.11.04 and 4.11.06
iPhone 3GS: 5.14.02, 5.15.04, 5.16.02 and 5.20.00"
"The bad news here though, is that it appears Gevey SIM has been blocked from working by Apple in its new iOS 5 beta 2 release. This means that if you’re wanting to unlock your iPhone 4 without having to jailbreak then you’ll be needing to either downgrade to iOS 4.x (assuming that you have got your old unlockable baseband preserved) or stick with the first beta."

We are talking about iOS 6 which is in beta form and that's what the OP is asking about w/ the Gevey Ultra S.
Actually, as long as Apple is signing the firmware, you CAN downgrade your baseband. This is true from the betas to the current 5.1.1. It was also true last fall between the two versions of 5.0.1 on the iPhone 4. You could upgrade/downgrade the firmware and baseband at will.
If that is true, and I downgrade to 4.1 which is still being signed... my iPhone 4 should be on 2.10.04 and my iPhone 3G/3GS should be on 5.14.02, sorry it doesn't happen... Why would it have to be the currently signed version only? If it isn't cosmetic in software, maybe it is virtualized in memory, would account for Gevey Turbo Sim block, and my theory that the baseband is in fact not being updated/downgraded when testing beta's.
