Yellowsn0w is here!!!

Thanks to the amazing efforts of the iPhone Dev Team, we are pleased to announce that a REAL unlock solution is now available for all iPhone 3G’s called Yellowsn0w.

Contrary to all advice and rumours in the past, this unlock will only work, if you have the LATEST version of the Modem Firmware 02.28.00. So you may need to update your iPhone to the latest software if you are not on the latest version, and then jailbreak it with QuickPwn first. However this is GREAT NEWS because it means EVERYONE can now unlock their iPhone to any network.

Now the games really begin…

• Cydia source: http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/

*Yes, you will need to already have a jailbroken iPhone, you can jailbreak your iPhone with QuickPwn in literally 5 minutes with no dramas.

Things to note about Yellowsnow from iPhone Dev Team…

• The unlock works exclusively with baseband 02.28.00. This baseband is provided by the latest firmware update (2.2) from Apple. You’ll need to upgrade to this release using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to activate etc. There are plenty of tutorials about this on iclarified, bigboss, and other established tutorial sites. Because it works on 02.28.00, it is available to everyone on the planet. This means we don’t need to unnecessarily expose holes in earlier basebands, which is an important concern.
• The application is a small daemon that is launched on boot. It injects the payload at boot and also whenever there is a baseband reset. You won’t notice anything about it other than that your third-party sim now works. It’s a small program and unobtrusive. There is no GUI (this is by design).
• You can add the application using the sources outlined below (coming soon). There are Cydia and Installer sources available, so use whichever you are comfortable using.
• yellowsn0w is completely removable through Cydia, the command line, and iTunes.
