iPhone 3G Has Been Unlocked!

December 16, 08 by Doug

We have an announcement from the iPhone Dev Team that the iPhone 3G has been unlocked! There has been hardware unlocks that have cost money in the past, but now it’s been done on the software side. . .and it will be free!

There is some good news. . .and some potential bad news. . .

* 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.
* The unlock requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone.

So if you’re baseband is later than 2.11.07 then you’re out of luck. If you read further into the post, they link back to and older one that says “If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.”

This entry does not have any comments... but you can be first.
