Or if you like the feeling of a full size physical keyboard and hate the feeling of a virtual keyboard. One word for you, bluesn0w.

Update #2: iPhone Dev Team has released an update for yellowsn0w, version 0.9.5 beta. So make sure you update!

Update: If you have success or failure on unlocking your iPhone 3G with yellowsn0w, report it to the iPhone Dev Team at report.yellowsn0w.com - Here

Finally! After months of waiting for an iPhone 3G Unlock it’s finally here. Yellowsn0w is available for Installer and Cydia. Yellowsn0w is exclusive for the 2.28.00 baseband. (The baseband provided with the firmware version 2.2 from Apple)

From iPhone Dev Team’s Blog:

BASICS

• 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.

The iPhone Dev Team worked for months trying to crack the iPhone 3G to be able to unlock it to use 3rd-party SIM cards on it. They worked at no charge to the general public and does not charge for their software. All of their software is completely free. Their software’s source code is given away by the team for those who want to reverse the application, but can NOT be sold.

A fool named Jody Sanders of the West Midlands, UK has decided that it is ok to steal the software and sell it for the hefty sum of £19.99 DIY (£49.99 in-store at either London or Birmingham). Jody Sander’s software contains copyrighted code that belongs to the iPhone Dev Team. The team’s latest blog post on their website is asking readers for some information about Jody Sanders and asking readers with a legal background for some advice.

From iPhone Dev Team’s blog:

Jody’s “software” contains our code and also copyrighted code from elsewhere. All you need is free and outlined here . What he is doing just isn’t cool.

If you are in Birmingham or London then if you could find out any information about Jody Sanders at “iph*neunl*ckuk” we’d be very appreciative.

Also if there are any UK based lawyers or student lawyers that could help us with this, then please contact us at blog@iphone-dev.org of course student lawyers can’t give us specific legal advice, but even your informal opinion helps.

Seems like even though Jody claims he doesn’t offer our software, he is offering his “own software” (that is fact just QuickPwn with some edits, also forbidden)

If you have any information about Jody Sanders or any legal advice make sure to contact the iPhone Dev Team, I’m sure they’ll appreciate any information or legal advice.

You can get in contact with the Team in the source link.

Update #2: Looks like the yellowsn0w application will be in Cydia and it will only work for the 2.28.00 baseband - We were semi-correct about ignoring the post where they told us not to update the iPhone 3G to 2.2

Yellowsn0w will be available once the Dev Team member in charge of their Cydia repo wakes up and fixes the permissions.

If you decode the binary message, you get vtaber 61060174 if you decode that ROT13 message, you get IGNORE 61060174 — Now, what does IGNORE 61060174 mean? We believe it means to ignore their blog post #61060174 - This blog post - Yeah, remember that blog post from the iPhone Dev Team stating NOT to update your 3G to 2.2, because doing so will update your baseband and you’ll loose possibility of a 3G Unlock. Maybe they are secretly telling us that yellowsn0w will in fact work on all iPhone 3G basebands. Only time will tell.

Try it for yourself!
