If you follow MuscleNerd on Twitter (he is a member of the Dev-Team) you may already know this information but, this morning he twittered that the iPhone 3GS is being shipped with baseband 04.26.08. That is the baseband that ultrasn0w can be used on. Meaning, if the iPhone 3GS can be jailbroke, it can be unlocked using ultrasn0w.
There still no updated info since yesterday about the jailbreak for the 3.0 firmware (or now, the iPhone 3GS) or ultrasn0w. Like usual, we will hang out and wait for more info from the Dev-Team. For more info about ultrasn0w check out THIS post.
Original Tweet:
“3GS is shipping with BB 04.26.08 (vulnerable to ultrasn0w). If (big “if”) it can also be jailbroken, that would be swell!”
























Hope the 3G S can be jailbroken. How is Doug getting on with his? Did he go for the White or Black this time round.

4 hours! Thats quick lol. I’m thinking of going with the white again when I get mine, don’t know why. Also I’m thinking of going screen protecter and rear protector free. Does the screen and rear scratch easily on 3Gs?
mattyb123 on June 19th, 2009 12:28 pm:
I would probably restore as well. Just to make it extra new!

Yes, if you want it to be like your old iPhone. You have to restore from a backup.

No. You’ll have to wait for Ultrasn0w to unlock it.
I bought the new 3Gs and all I wish to do is “Jailbreak Only” (not unlock) will any of the newly released software work for only Jailbreaking the new 3Gs? I’m a lil confused since the new phone is running the 3.0 OS which the dev team has released software for and I’m not looking to unlock. Thank you…

Thanks

Nevermind, Found the answer to my question, it must be due to the new Hardware on the 3Gs iPhone that is the exception to 3.0 OS Jailbreak. =(
