GeoHot Looking into an Unlock for 05.11.07 Baseband
October 27, 2009 by
Quite a few people have been asking GeoHot, the developer of the blackra1n jailbreak, if he is going to look into an unlock… his answer is always a resounding, “No.
Tweets:
However, GeoHot has recently decided to look into an unlock for the 05.11.07 baseband. It seems that Jody Sanders, better known as the guy that sells the Dev-Teams unlocks, has offered GeoHot $10,000 to release the unlock.
If GeoHot does find an exploit for the unlock, it will be released to the community for free however, Sanders will continue to sell support for the the unlock to his customers.
According to GeoHot it should only take him a day or so to find the exploit. He started the search at 10:00pm EST last night.
“
So far, he still hasn’t found an exploit and is running out of places to look. We will just have to wait and see if he is able to find one!

Ultrasn0w 0.8 – iPhone 3GS Compatible Unlock
July 7, 2009 by
|
Available In: Cydia | |
Price: Free |
There is an update to ultrasn0w, iPhone software unlock, to version 0.8. This version of ultrasn0w is said to work on the iPhone 3GS according to MuscleNerd, a Dev-Team member.
Things to Note:
• “Ultrasn0W 0.8 (incl. 3GS support) (see Cydia).”
• “ultrasn0w is now 3GS friendly! First cross-platform carrier unlock, thanks partly to Apple :) Repo details at http://is.gd/1pRGL.”
• “The main 3GS ultrasn0w glitch on hacktivated devices is: need to do Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network settings once.”
• “If ultrasn0w already works for you, 0.8 won’t add anything new. This 0.8 is mostly for 3GS users or 3G outliers.”!–more–>
That means that the iPhone 3GS is now unlockable. All you need to do is go into Cydia and install ultrasn0w 0.8. If you are on a hacktivated device make sure you follow the instructions above.

Firmware 3.1 Beta Brings New Features But Breaks Unlock *UPDATED*
July 1, 2009 by
Apple has seeded firmware 3.1 to developers and there is already info coming out on the new features. Of course, they have updated the baseband so if you want to unlock, don’t upgrade. Also, If you want to jailbreak, don’t upgrade. There is speculation that if you upgrade, you may never be able to jailbreak again. Here’s info from the Dev Team and then a list of new features.
You’ve seen us give this warning before, and there are only so many ways to say it or come up with a clever title :) But here it is: ultrasn0w users must stay away from any firmware updates past 3.0 (including today’s 3.1 beta) until we release the tools that let you update the firmware without updating the baseband. For most phones out there, baseband updates are irreversible and you’ll lose ultrasn0w.
The 3.0 jailbreak was one of those (rare) times where both the jailbreak and the unlock coincided (the only other time was 2.2). It’s important that people realize that *most* firmware releases aren’t like that, and you need to take steps (via the tools) to separate the firmware update from its included baseband update.
This warning does not apply to the iPhone 2G, which uses BootNeuter for the unlock, not ultrasn0w.
iPhone 3GS Jailbreak & Unlock Possible via 24Kpwn Exploit
June 26, 2009 by
Great news! It looks like the same exploit used to jailbreak the 2nd Gen iPod Touch will work on the the new iPhone 3GS. No date on when it will be released but now that we know it can be jailbroke it shouldn’t be too much longer. Here’s what the Dev Team has to say:
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.
