How to unlock your iPhone 3G (3.0 Firmware)

Disclaimer: 1). I haven't tried this myself, 2). This guide is application for original iPhone, iPhone 3G running on firmware 3.0.

Unlocking and jailbreaking an iPhone can be intimedating and scary at times. While the iPhone Dev Team kicks ass in writing hacking software, they aren't always the best in documenting the process to free your iPhone or iPhone 3G. Gizmodo published a handy step-by-step guide to show you how it can be done. Personally, I found the two step (redsn0w via app + ultrasn0w via browser) combination a bit unique. Essentially, for this round, instead of jailbreaking AND unlocking your device at once, they break it up into two separate steps.

As always, there is no garantee it will work so take your time and good luck!

Info on iPhone 3.0 Unlock from Dev Team

Here is the 411 on iPhone firmware 3.0 unlock. Apparently, the Dev Team is on the verge of release a torrent for their latest breakthru code name: UltraSn0w. The crazy thing here is that they may be able to unlock not just the good ole' iPhone 3G but the new 3G[S] as well. It appears that they've been able to hacktivate the baseband (04.26.08) from the new firmware 3.0 which is applicable to both 3G and 3G[S].

So folks, keep your F5 button free and clear of obstruction starting tonight and watch closely as the iPhone Dev Team is about to make more history again.
