A new version of Yellowsn0w, the one and only unlock program for the iPhone 3G, enabling you to use any SIM card with your iPhone 3G, has been updated to v0.9.7. Currently it works with iPhone firmware v2.2.
If you have been living under a rock for the past few months, you might not have heard all the talk about unlocking iPhone 3G. Well the time is officially here, the iPhone Dev Team has released the latest software unlock for iPhone 3G!!! It is only available on a Jailbroken iPhone 3G via the Cydia Installer and is to be used on the latest firmware with the newest baseband!
True to their word, the group known as Dev-Team unveiled their software unlock for the iPhone 3G, known as yellowsn0w, on New Year's Day. This software unlock will allow you to use your iPhone with a SIM card from another carrier other than AT&T (the exclusive iPhone carrier in the US). CrunchGear did a great step-by-step walk through with pictures, and it looks very easy to do, but there are some issues, which the Dev-Team has been updating on its blog.
The iPhone 3G unlock is now available. The unlocking software is called yellowsn0w, runs as an invisible application, and it's very easy to install. Here's how. Updated: Bad news. It doesn't work right.
This New Year, you may be planning to join a gym, or to quit smoking. Some of you might even want to cure an internet addiction (you fools!). I will be doing something I have wanted to do for some time. I'll be getting an iPhone.
The iPhone Dev team has worked hard over the past few weeks. After the successful release of their iPhone 3G software unlock, they now have a iPod Touch 2nd gen Jailbreak working. Though the process at the moment is highly manual, its working and we can expect a final version to be released soon.
Ever since the Dev-Team kinda sorta promised that they would have a neatly packaged iPhone 3G unlock ready for release by the year's end, we've all been waiting on pins and needles, counting down the moments until freedom was in hand yet again.
