iPhone 3G Successfully Unlocked, Application Coming Soon

December 16th, 2008

The iPhone Dev-Team have finally managed it - they've successfully unlocked the iPhone 3G. The hack isn't yet available (December 31st seems to be the planned release date), and will require a baseband of 2.11.07 or earlier.

The Dev-Team are currently working on a nice little QuickPwn style application to make the hack as user-friendly as possible.

We have been working hard on a few other things. The main one being the 3G unlock codenamed “yellowsn0w”. This is now completed and is currently being packaged into a user-friendly application with the simplicity that you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter.

The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008.

This unlock method is available to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier, we did warn you.

The unlock requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone.
