The day many iPhone owners were waiting for has finally arrived. The day when their iPhones would finally get salvation ! Dev Team today launched its much awaited Free Software Unlock codenamed “Yellowsn0w” for the iPhone 3G.

Now you can use any SIM Cardof any Network in your iPhone 3G.

Follow these Steps to Unlock your iPhone 3G :

1. Using iTunes, upgrade your iPhone 3G to Firmware 2.2 !

2. Once you’re on Firmware 2.2, Download Quickpwn 2.2 then follow the Onscreen steps to Jailbreak your iPhone 3G.

3. Once the Jailbreak Process is complete and your iPhone is booted up, you’ll see Cydia on the Home Screen.

4. Open Cydia, it will tell you to Upgrade, Upgrade the Essentials. After Upgrade of Cydia, run it again.

5. Now goto Manage > Sources > Edit > Add.

Now Enter: http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/ and click Add Source.

6. That it. Now install Yellow Snow from Cydia and your iPhone 3G should be Unlocked.

NOTE : The current version of Yellowsn0w 0.9.1 is said to have a pretty high failure rate. This has worked for a lot of people but there are quite a bunch of people for whom it didn’t work. So I recommend you try this on your own risk.

Its quite a while now that iPhone/iTouch 2.1 Firmware has been launched. A Jailbreak solution was released for the Mac Users. Windows users still had no easy option.

Well that is until now, the Dev Team has made available the latest version of QuickPwn for Windows, Quickpwn 2.1.

• Unlocking and Jailbreaking of iPhone 2G
• Jailbreaking of iPhone 3G

Winpwn 2.5 was recently launched. Its still said to be in BETA stage which according to the Dev Team means “Use at your Own Risk” !

This latest iteration of Winpwn is fully Graphical with a very attractive User Interface !

Note : iPhone 3G still cannot be Software Unlocked ! If you want to Unlock iPhone 3G you will need to use a Hardware Tool like a RebelSIM.

Things you Need :

Follow these Steps to Unlock/Activate your 2G 2.0.2 iPhone :

4. Select your Firmware.

5. Choose to Delete Bootneuter.app after installation.

6. Click on Activate if you’re not on ATnT.

8. Wipe Data as NO.

9. Check to manually adjust Root Partition Size and set the Size to 800 Mb.

10. The IPSW Building will now start.

11. By Default the Custom IPSW is stored in My Documents.

The latest update to the PwnageTool has just been released by the iPhone Dev Team. This version version now supports the iPhone/iPod Firmware version 2.0.1 which was released this Monday and fixes up some annoying bugs !

Along with 2.0.1 Support, this version of PwnageTool comes with the much awaited release of Installer 4 in Beta version. Installer if you remember was the 1st Way to distribute JailBroken applications by the 3rd Party Community via Repos. Apple later on influenced by this planned and opened up their own App Store based on the ideals of Installer !

Along with Installer, Cydia is also included by Default.

Here’s what the iPhone Dev Team says at their Official Blog :

Good Morning!

Did you think we’d sleep? really?

Recommended method for updating is Sparkle (the internal updater inside PwnageTool) or using the Finder to decompress the files, don’t use command line tools to decompress as incorrect use will not preserve permissions, just double click the download above in the Finder.

Installer 4 Beta is included, it is added in any mode by default. The main installer package management interface within PwnageTool isn’t enabled yet, and will report that installer.app isn’t available, but the actual Installer.app package is added as a default option in both modes.

The latest Cydia is also enabled by default

Please ensure you ONLY download and use the tbz file – as we warned yesterday the re-compressed unauthorized .zip files cause problems with certain parts of the release.

Note: Currently this Tool is only released for the Mac ! Winpwn will be released shortly !
