Latest News, Unlocking 3.0 unlock, jailbreak, PwnageTool
iPhone Dev Team has done it. If you are on iPhone 3G or 2G, you can now jailbreak OS 3.0 and therefore upgrade to 3.0 OS. You will need a Mac to get this done, since iPhoneDevTeam has only released the PwnageTool and the windows version of PwnageTool, quickPWN is still under development. QuickPWN should go live any time soon, keep checking blog.iphone-dev.org.
PwnageTool can only jailbreak iPhone 3G and 2G version, but it cannot unlock it. The unlock tool Ultrasn0w is still under development and should get released in a week or two. So if you want to unlock your current iPhone with 3.0 OS, dont follow this procedure yet. Wait for Ultrasn0w tool be released. Keep checking blog.iphone-dev.org.
It should be noted that this PwnageTool will not work for the iPhone 3G S
You SHOULD NOT use this PwnageTool release if you are using an iPhone 3G with yellowsn0w.
As per iPhone Dev Team, please read these rules before going ahead with PwnageTool:
- GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use PwnageTool right now. UltraSn0w is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be release via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 unlock works with this PwnageToolrelease.
- Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you can get it via Cydia or Icy).
- Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
- Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
- At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.0 capable version ofPwnageTool.
- This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release.
- PwnageTool will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
- PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch (1st Generation) and the iPhone 3G.

Applications, Latest News, Unlocking iPhone OS 3.0
update 4:
This is an important note for those looking to update their 2G iPhone to the 3.0 firmware without losing their activation and unlock.
If you click the Update button in iTunes to install the 3.0 firmware you will not loose your unlock. (2G iPhones ONLY).
HOWEVER, if you are using the 2G iPhone on an unofficial carrier you may loose your activation. This means that will your network will be detected but you will not be able to use your iPhone.
You will loose your activation if you used QuickPwn to jailbreak your iPhone. If you used PwnageTool you will not.
If you are super excited about iPhone 3.0 and wish to update immediately, either make sure you jailbroke with PwnageTool or rejailbreak using PwnageTool and then do the update.
Otherwise wait for a little bit and the iPhone Dev-Team will release new PwnageTool and QuickPwn utilities shortly.
update 3:
It seems that if you have a iPhone 2G then there is no need to jailbreak/unlock if your phone has previously been jailbroken, but it has also been reported that the update breaks the jailbreak…. will keep you posted.
update 2:
We will be posting information and tutorials as soon as the jailbreak and unlock for the new firmware is released.
