The iPhone Dev Team have completed the 3g unlock codenamed “yellowsnow”. The release will be planned for New Years Eve and a simple, user-friendly interface will be availabe much like QuickPwn.
We have been working hard on a few other things. The main one being the 3G unlock codenamed “yellowsn0w”. This is now completed and is currently being packaged into a user-friendly application with the simplicity that you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter.
- The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008.
- This unlock method is available to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier, we did warn you.
- You can tell what version baseband you have by going to Settings->General->About->Modem Firmware
- The unlock requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone. It’ll be installable via Cydia and so it doesn’t matter if you have a Mac or PC.
- Please refrain from updating your baseband, regardless of what version you’re at. We’ll have complete directions on New Year’s Eve.
- We’ll stream a live demo of the unlock before Christmas (see the update at the end of this post)
A live video stream of the unlock will be presented sometime before Christmas.
Update: Live Demo
Sometime before Christmas, MuscleNerd will show a live demo of the unlock (and some other random nucleus and pwnage stuff). It’ll be streamed live via the awesome Qik application, and announced via his Twitter account just as the broadcast begins.
