The Dev Team posted yesterday stated that they do in fact have a iPhone 3GS jailbreak ready, but they are purposely delaying it’s release until the next iPhone 3GS firmware update (3.0.1).
We can jailbreak the 3GS right now. But making our jailbreak public at this point in time would benefit relatively few people. It would in fact be detrimental to many more people than it would help. So we feel it’s best to keep our version of the jailbreak out of Apple’s sights for the time being.
They also note if you have done a USB dump or got your img3’s signed with your ECID using purplera1n you will always be able to jailbreak in the future.
If you already have a 3GS phone and have already done a full USB dump or captured your img3’s signed with your ECID, then you’re in great shape. You will always be able to jailbreak.

It appears George Hotz has discovered a new layer of security in the iPhone 3GS, but he’s found a way to generate a certificate for your phone so you’ll be able to jailbreak in the future.
Apple has added a new layer of security to the iPhone 3GS. I mentioned it several posts earlier; it’s the ECID field. When iTunes starts the restore process, they contact Apple servers to generate signatures just for your device. It’s important you get these signatures for your phone before a new version of the software comes out. I had previously suggested doing this by dumping usb while the iPhone restores. But this is complicated.
Fortunately, the good folks at purplera1n are here for you, the end user who wants a jailbreak. Follow these instructions to generate a unique certificate for your phones iBSS. And don’t delay, Apple may change their minds. To clarify, this is instead of a usb dump. Do this, and you are good!
1. Put your phone into recovery mode and connect it to your computer.
2. Using usbview on Windows(enable Config Descriptors), System Profiler on Mac, or lsusb on Linux, read your phones ECID. It’s the 16 digit hex number after “ECID:”
3. Go to purplera1n, type it, and hit enter
4. Save the generated file for a purplera1nyday…

The Dev Team is reporting the success of using the same exploit that was used to jailbreak the iPod Touch 2G to work on the iPhone 3GS.
About 5 hours ago (Thursday evening, less than a week after the 3GS launch), we were able to verify that the 24Kpwn exploit that the hybrid team used on the iPod Touch 2G is still applicable to the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS. That means we can use the same sort of technique used by our current redsn0w tool to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS.
This is great news, but how did it happen? Why didn’t Apple fix this in their normal cat&mouse fashion? Well it seems this bootrom was cut in about the August 2008 timeframe, so the unintended early reveal of 24Kpwn earlier this year didn’t affect the iPhone 3GS.
And yes, ultrasn0w will be able to be used on the iPhone 3GS for you unlockers! (In fact, without any modifications whatsoever!)
Keep your eyes peeled folks, I predict the jailbreak coming out in the coming weeks!

The Dev Team just posted on their site:
Ultrasn0w for iPhone 3G is ready!
1. Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
2. Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool (this will also install Cydia/Icy)
3. Run Cydia or Icy
4. Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”! If you use the letter “o” you’ll get an error.
5. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w
6. Reboot your iPhone 3G
7. T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
8. Enjoy
If you relied on yellowsn0w to use your iPhone 3G you’re now able to upgrade to OS 3.0 and use Ultrasn0w to unlock your device!

Lately it seems my iPhone 3G on jailbroken 3.0 firmware is pretty slow and laggy. Apps, App Store or Cydia apps run fine. But using official Apple applications seem to bug and lag a lot for me. Even going through the settings app feels sluggish. How has 3.0 been treating you, good, bad? Sound off in the comments with your experience.
