iPhone Dev Team Releases Ultrasn0w
The iPhone hackers, known as the Dev Team, has released Ultrasn0w a few minutes ago.
Ultrasn0w is a little program installed through Cydia or Icy (via jailbroken iPhones) which will unlock the iPhone 3G for use on any GSM network. It is the successor of the previous yellowsn0w which worked on previous basebands and firmwares. For the T-Mobile users, the carrier is happily supporting the iPhone since they make up quite a large user base.
Last week, the Dev Team released the iPhone OS 3.0 jailbreak called redsn0w which will probably be incorporated into QuickPwn 3.0 to make it more user friendly along with custom boot logos. QuickPwn.com is now concentrating on releasing QuickPwn before Friday this week (hopefully earlier). However, the Dev Team and QuickPwn.com are not affiliated with each other.
To install Ultrasn0w:
- Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to cydia or icy
- Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w
- Reboot your iPhone 3G
- T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
- Enjoy
As incomprehensible as it sounds, the Dev Team does not accept donations. “There is no paypal account associated to us, there is no way to donate to us, we do this as a hobby and don’t want to be paid and we fund all of this ourselves and it works out just fine.”
Remember kids, don’t upgrade to the next iPhone firmware without the OK from the Dev Team.
