iPhone OS 3.0 Cracked and Unlocked
The iPhone OS isn’t set to be released until Wednesday, but the hackers at Dev-Team apparently already found a way to carrier unlock the new firmware.
This is the same team that released the PwnageTool and QuickPwn tools. The new Pwn tools are fully compatible with iTunes 8.2, but will be released directly after the new iPhone firmware. Luckily, the jailbreak continues to work on OS 3.0 for all devices previous to it.
“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.”
For all of you with turbosims and unlocked phones, the best thing to do would be to wait a day or two to see that everything goes as planned for the Dev-Team, making sure there are no compatibility issues with the newer bootloaders and basebands.
*UPDATE*: MuscleNerd on the Dev Team released a video of the new iPhone 3G unlocking software ultrasn0w (previously named yellowsn0w) for OS 3.0. You can view the video below.
