ultrasn0w version 0.9 is out! We believe it solves pretty much all of the various random issues that have been reported. Its features include:

• Works on both iPhone 3G and 3GS
• Works on jailbroken iPhones
• Works regardless of how you jailbroke your device
• 100% Free
  
• Start Cydia, add source (http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com), install ultrasn0w with a Zero not
• that's it

Old Update

As anyone reading this blog must already know, this is the big week where Apple releases their official 3.0 FW to the public (Wednesday), and then the new iPhone2,1 hardware, aka the iPhone 3GS (Friday).

On Tuesday evening (just before the big Apple release) we’ll do a live demo of the yellowsn0w carrier unlock working on official 3.0 firmware. The actual link for the feed will be twittered by @MuscleNerd and also placed here when the feed starts. The demo should answer everything you need to know about the new yellowsn0w. But it’s good news for iPhone 3G unlockers everywhere.

Meanwhile, we’re in the middle of testing our PwnageTool and QuickPwn tools, which will work with iTunes 8.2. The jailbreak of course continues to work on 3.0 for all devices it ever worked on, thanks due the Pwnage 2.0 technique released last summer. Our tools will be released no sooner than the Apple release (just in case!).

P.S. For the new iPhone 3GS, please don’t expect periodic updates about any progress we have or don’t have. Nothing gives Apple the upper hand like someone tweeting or blogging partial hack results. That’s not how cat & mouse is played :) That’s how the cat gets fed.

Updates after the video. Please skip ahead to 02:00 to see the demo.




Update 1:

* Only ultrasn0w is going to take til Friday to get pushed out. All of our other tools should be out pretty soon after the official Apple release.
* If you apply our jailbreak when it comes out, you can install ultrasn0w anytime after that. You obviously won’t have cell service in the meantime, though.
* This may in fact be directly applicable to the iPhone 3GS if it can be jailbroken, because it runs the same baseband version. Whether or not it can be jailbroken is a big question right now!

	Anonymous -  i am still on OS 2.1 with iphone 3g. i have downloaded the OS 3.0 software. but will it be fine if i upgrade? my modem firmware is 02.11.07 and my bootloader is 05.09. i couldn't use yellowsn0w before cos of my bootloader. i am using a turbosim for now. so just asking if i update to 3.0, then when the jailbreak is released to use ultrasn0w to unlock. is that correct?

	iphone3g-mods -  yes correct, as of friday everyone who owns a 2g and 3g headset will be able to jailbreak and unlock their phones period.

	chino -  i read that today is the jailbreak and ultrasnow release for firmware 3.0 but i just want to know what time would it be CANT WAIT ANYMORE hahaha should i wait for this release to upgrade my iphone 3g firmware or i can do it right now? im just worried that if i upgrade right now, then i couldnt be able to jailbreak and unlock it
