iphone unlock 1 Dev Team Releasing Unlock System for iPhone 3G This New Year
In their blog, the Dev team has announced that it will be releasing a software unlock solution for the iPhone 3G this New Year.

The blog mentions:

“We have been working hard on 3G unlock code named “Yellowsn0w”. The work is almost complete and is being packaged into a user-friendly way with the same amount of simplicity you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter. The unlock method will be applicable on iPhone 3Gs, which have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier. A jaiborken 3G iPhone will be required for unlock”.

Some other details posted in the blog include:

The DUF problem, which was experienced by users has now been upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.6 system update.

Experts have discussed that the behavior is due to kernel bug, which is not a specific counter measure by Apple. Some suggested fixes are (at your own risk):

  1. 1. Replace the below written Plugin kexts from within IOUSBFFamily.kext with the one 10.55. After this, rebuild the kextcache (but if you don’t understand the process, do not try it).

    /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBHub.kext

    /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBCompositeDriver.kext

  2. A USB hub in-between the DFU device and Mac should be used. Insert/ reinsert the iPhone’s USB cable into it.
  3. Use a PwnageTool created .ipsw on Windows
