The iPhone Dev-Team has announced the UltraSn0w unlock for iPhones running the 3.0 firmware.

The UltraSn0w unlock will be released on Friday and will be applied in the same manner as the previous yellowsn0w unlock. The procedure will work on the 4.26.08 baseband version so all those who accidentally updated to the latest baseband will be able to regain their unlock.

Once the iPhone Dev-Team has made the tools available we will be posting a detailed tutorial with clear instructions on how to apply it

iPhone 3.0 is now available for downloading! I'm currently downloading it in iTunes as I'm posting this.

Bilal - June 18, 2009 at 2:54am

hey - June 18, 2009 at 6:05pm

i upgradd it as well but now it asks to insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate iphone ?? did u experice ne thing similar?

Daelmyth - June 17, 2009 at 12:12pm

Thanks for the video post MuscleNerd. For all the questions below... He says in the video it will work no matter what your baseband is as long as you upgrade to the 3.0 firmware. Which you would want to do anyway for the newer features as well as to not have the annoying prompts from iTunes trying to get you to re-lock your iPhone.

Way to go Dev-Team!!! Once again, you guys all ROCK!!!!!

spliffy - June 17, 2009 at 10:18am

wow... someone's got some beef with n00bs. Hey, not that I support hazing and flaming... but you have a point. Would be nice if there was a way to have folks know where to go to find answers rather than bloat threads with a bunch of the same questions. Um... I guess I'd recommend waiting if you want to do anything with 3.0- for obviously one great reason: No one "really" knows yet? So advice is already suspect. I'd say wait, and listen for horror stories? Listen for success stories? Go check forums (which "I" wonderfully chastised folks for, yet didn't recommend.) like modmyi.com and here. Folks will, undoubtedly, be looking to make a name for themselves or bolster their current rep. Good luck folks- & maybe respect the "needs" of people like the "I" commenter? ... and hopefully you won't warrant any of their abuse. lol

Will it unlock the iphone 3g with modem firmware 2.30.03 and the boot loader version 6.01?

I - June 17, 2009 at 10:00am

You should read the article and watch the video.

tommyt - June 17, 2009 at 6:46am

I have a 3g version, will the unlock activate voice commands and record movies on the 3g phone or is this just limited to the 3gs?

mingjian - June 17, 2009 at 2:42am

i have 3G with firmware 2.30 and bootloader 5.09. so can i unlock that? there is also another problem that is my iphone is sim locked and ask me to give PUK code. i'm outside of US and from myanmar. so how can i unlock that. thanks help me.

Rob - June 17, 2009 at 5:29am

You will be able to unlock once you update to 3.0 and get ultrasnow on Fri. for the PUK code you need to put your sim in another phone, call tech support and have them give it to you. Also make sure PIN code is off and 3g is toggled off just to be safe

Bilal - June 17, 2009 at 5:55am

i have 3G with v 2.2.1 or firmware 04.26 and bootloader 5.09. so can i unlock that? this ultrasn0w will unlock my iphone or not? plz reply must

wen - June 17, 2009 at 2:01am

upgraded my iphone 2G to 3.0. NOW its slide emergency.? how can i fix this?

tom - June 17, 2009 at 2:20am

what you need to do if you want to be running th 3.0 on the 2g is uninstall itunes 8.2 if you have it running. install itunes 8.1 and downgrade to 2.0 firmware. then once thats done. use the quickpwnRC3 to unlock it with the bootloaders. once uve done tht, uninstall itunes 8.1 and reinstall itunes 8.2 and shift click "update" and choose the 3.0 firmware for the 2g iphone.

mingjian - June 17, 2009 at 2:25am

sound good. but i have 3G with firmware 2.30 and bootloader 5.09. so can i unlock that? there is also another problem that is my iphone is sim locked and aske me to give PUK code. i'm outside of US and from myanmar. so how can i unlock that. thanks help me.

Rob - June 17, 2009 at 5:32am

Where are you getting 3.0 from, only install the official apple one, which isn't available yet. Wait till friday, your most likely stuck until then as I don't know if you can downgrade the bb on 3.0, and some have even reported that if you got certain 3.0 betas you might be really stuck. Hold your horses everyone.

jack - June 17, 2009 at 1:40am

So I can unlock my 3G 16Gb 2.2.1 with 2.30.3, BL 5.09 ??? That will be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent whole day to search and work on it. That is best thing I v heard until now.

Rob - June 17, 2009 at 5:35am

Yes, but not until Friday for the unlock. Get the new quickpwn (pc) or pwnage (mac) after the dev team releases it tomorrow, grab the 3.0 OS from apple and update/jailbreak. Then on friday grab ultrasnow, run it and you're golden

Nick - June 17, 2009 at 12:24am

So is it safe to upgrade to 3.0 tomorrow, jailbreak, and then unlock? Or is there a special way I have to upgrade in order to unlock?

Laurence - June 17, 2009 at 12:04am

so is it true that the jailbreak for 3.0 will be released tomorrow? im not talking about the unlock for 3.0 because we know it woll be released on friday.

Jay - June 16, 2009 at 11:53pm

I have a iPhone 2G... Can I just upgrade without having to unlock again or do I need to redo the entire jailbreaking process?

shadowlag - June 17, 2009 at 12:02am

just update if ur on 2g. If ur on 3g use ultra snow

wendell - June 17, 2009 at 1:57am

i update my 2g to 3.0 and i got a slide emergency screen. what will i do

random - June 17, 2009 at 10:22am

if you're not sure, then wait. Surely you knew enough to find the OS- how bout ya use some of dem thinkin skills. You're only a couple taps & clicks away from the answers...

hippo - June 16, 2009 at 11:43pm

When will QuickPwn for 3.0 jailbreak be officially released? I don't want to use those beta ones....

shadowlag - June 16, 2009 at 11:45pm

tommorow

byrd_Jr903 - June 16, 2009 at 11:26pm
