Ultrasn0w Free Download to Unlock iPhone 3G and 3GS with Firmware OS 3.0 (Baseband 04.26.08)

Download Free Ultrasn0w to Unlock iPhone 3GS and iPod 3G


Ultrasn0w is a software-based unlocking tool to crack and unlock any version of the iPhone, including original 1st generation iPhone, iPhone 2G or iPhone 3Gs (3G S), which running on firmware software OS version 3.0 with baseband 04.26.08. Unlocking allows iPhone to be used to any mobile service provider or operator, instead of tying to particular mobile carrier, such as AT&T in USA and O2 in UK.

Previously, original and 3G iPhones are unlocked by using Yellowsn0w tool, which unlocks iPhone on firmware OS 2.2. Ultrasn0w effectively replaces Yellowsn0w as previous bug used to inject payload code in iPhone firmware 2.2 was closed by Apple in firmware OS 3.0. Ultrasn0w is born after any loophole to inject code for unlocking iPhone is found by an iPhone user accidentally. Ultrasn0w claims to work with any version of the iPhone, including the new iPhone 3G S, as of version 0.6, as shown in iPhone 3GS unlocking demo video.

In order to unlock iPhone 3G running on firmware 3.0, the iPhone with firmware OS 3.0 must first be jailbroken with Redsn0w in Windows or Mac OS X system, or PwnageTool in Mac OS X, which will also install Cydia/Icy, where Ultrasn0w is available in its repository exclusively. iPhone 3G(S) requires Purplera1n to jailbreak.

Guide to Install Ultrasn0w and Unlock iPhone 3G with OS 3.0 and 04.26.08 Baseband

  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).

    Jailbreak iPhone 3GS with Purplera1n.

  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 or 3GS.
  7. T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w. To disable 3G Mode in iPhone 3G, go to Settings -> General-> Network and turn off 3G Mode.

Here’s a demo video by iPhone Dev Team that unlocked an iPhone 3G with Ultrasnow prior to its release.


Note: You will responsible for any damage done to your iPhone during jailbreaking iPhone 3Gs and Unlocking it. Neither will your iPhone warranty will be valid nor anyone else could be held responsible if something goes wrong. sO i strongly suggest not to try it if you don't have sufficient knowledge about it and unsure to use the tools described in the tutorial..!!

Ultrasn0w Unlocks iPhone 3GS Video Demo

dO it stEp bY sTep nOw..Unlock iPhone 3GS with Ultrasn0w

iPhone Dev Team have published a video demonstration on using the Ultrasn0w unlocking solution tool to unlock iPhone 3GS (3G S). iPhone Dev Team claims Ultrasn0w uses the at+xlog crash as an injection vector of our unlocking payload, and it does so on the iPhone 3GS in exactly the same way as on the iPhone 3G. Together with 24Kpwn exploit found in iPhone 3GS bootrom, ultrasn0w will be able to be used on the iPhone 3GS for unlockers, without any modifications whatsoever.


NOTE: DO NOT UPGRADE TO 3.1 YET IF YOU WANT THIS UNLOCK.

A brief demonstration of the iPhone Dev Team’s unlock for the new iPhone 3G S.

Before using ultrasnow to unlock iPhone 3GS, it’s recommended to backup the personalize 3.0 firmware bundle.

A warning though is that ultrasn0w injection vector will be lost if user update to upcoming iPhone OS Software 3.1 using the official Apple IPSW, which also updates the baseband. Until a tool is released that allows user to update the firmware without updating the baseband, any upgrade to firmware OS 3.1 will break the unlock.

Unlock and jailbreak iPhone 3GS

Yes now iPhone 3GS can be Jailbroken and Unlocked

Purplera1n, unrelated to the Dev Team, has announced a solution to jailbreak the iPhone 3GS for both Windows and Intel Mac computers. The jailbreak allows users to download Cydia on their iPhone to install unofficial applications on their device.

The jailbreaking solution provided by purplera1n still does not allow Winterboard to be used as of yet. The method installs an application
called Freeze onto the device; this installs and unpacks Cydia.

Users who install Cydia onto their device can then proceed to install UltraSn0w which was recently released to unlock the iPhone 3G, now unlocks the iPhone 3GS. Users can freely use any service provider using a SIM card on their iPhone without being locked to selected service providers.

Users who have installed the iPhone 3.1 SDK will not be able to unlock their device due to the update in the baseband. The updated baseband in the 3.1 SDK prevents the exploit to unlock your iPhone from working. Users who updated previously may not be able to unlock their iPhone, according to The Dev Team Blog.

Warning: Users who jailbreak or unlock their iPhone may void the warranty and are cautioned to use this software at their own risk; purplera1n RC2 may still be buggy on Windows machines.

New iPhone to launch July 17, full specs leaked?

New iPhone with Full Specs-m Lovin it..!

Wired is reporting that a source closely connected to the Apple hardware team is giving out details about the suspected upcoming revision of the iPhone. Among the most important details are a launch date of July 17 (a Friday) and that it will come in two flavors of 16GB at $199.99 and 32GB at $299.99

Full potential leaked spec list below:
  • 32GB and 16GB storage (up from the current 16GB and 8GB models)
  • $199 and $299 price points to be maintained
  • 3.2-megapixel camera (up from the current 2-megapixel camera)
  • Video-recording and editing capabilities
  • Ability to send a picture & video via MMS
  • Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device
  • OLED screen
  • 1.5 times the battery life of the current models
  • Double the RAM and processing power
  • Built-in FM transmitter
  • Apple logo on back will glow
  • Rubber-tread backing
  • Sleeker design
  • Built-in compass
  • The camera, GPS, compass and Google map combined will identify photo and inform about photo locations
  • Turn-by-turn directions
The upgrades provide a solid reason to purchase a new one but do not provide any ground breaking features that haven't been seen before in a mobile device.

The FM transmitter is a nice feature but anyone who has tried to stream music to a car radio will tell you that they are nothing short of terrible, especially if you live in a populated area with many radio stations.

It won't be until early June when the world will find out if these specs are true or just another person looking for their 15 minutes of fame; albeit, they do line up nicely with some of the rumors that have been circulating the web.

iPhone Dev Team Say’s iPhone Firmware 3.0 Beta is Jailbreakable

Good News for everyone..iPhone 3.0 is Jailbreakable..!!!

Earlier I posted iPhone Firmware 3.0 Features list which was previewed at Macworld Expo 2009 San Francisco. The next question which immediately comes after iPhone new firmware 3.0 is, will it be possible to jailbreak and unlock ?

Well Dev Team has some positive answers for this. The good news is that iPhone Dev Team have successfully Jailbroken iPhone Firmware 3.0 beta version which was distributed at Macworld expo.

Here is what iPhone Dev Team says,
“with all of the great stuff lined up for us with the 3.0 OS that Apple described today, many 3G owners may find themselves with itchy update fingers. If you find yourself with access to the 3G IPSW for 3.0 via the iPhone Dev Center program, and you are using yellowsn0w, do not update or restore to that official IPSW. You will lose yellowsn0w and find yourself unable to revert the baseband to get it back.
And for those wondering, yes the 3.0 OS is jailbreakable on all devices. It’s just those using 3G yellowsn0w that have to show some restraint and wait for PwnageTool to create a custom IPSW that avoids the baseband update.”

Above comment from iPhone Dev team makes it clear that Firmware 3.0 is still jailbrekable but do not restore your iPhone 3G to Firmware 3.0 if you want to have unlock capability with yellowsn0w. You need to wait for custom iPhone Firmware 3.0 ipws file created using pwnagetool.
