Workssssssssss excelentttttttt
when I opened Cydia it asked me first to update Cydia after 4 times accept, coz it will take up to 4-5 times to continue download, Cydia restarted and then after that I was able to continue from step 7, only one thing I noticed, I didn't had "iClarified" on my display, only yellowsn0w. After restart, instead of signal bar, it shown Airplane mode for 2 sec and then it changed to full 5 bar signal, instead of my network name I have 5 digit number, but everything works so far, other networks visible with their names except mine. But who care, as long I have everything else working. All sims in Nepal working without loosing signal.
Great job DEV TEAM, thumbs up.

I got a question guys... while following this steps, http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1881
Why do I need to click shift + Restore in itunes, then use the iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw
Why can't I just click restore, then in quickpwn, I use that iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Restore.ipsw...
or do I need to use it in both... itunes and quickpwn?
PLEASE HELP ME OUT...

works perfect with t-mobite. thanks guys.

Dilip,
you don't have to update in iTunes your firmware if it is already up to date, just skip that step as I did and continue further.
-
Thanks
I was able to unlock from Optus AU to Vodafone AU without a hitch.
Thank you again for all your hard work

Just wanted to say a big thank you for these clear and straight forward instructions. Unlocked my iphone 3G on the first try from O2 in the UK to Optus in Australia.

Hey coogac,
Dev team's unlocking solution works exclusively with firmware 2.2 and baseband/modem firmware 02.28.00.
So first follow the step-by-step guide to jailbreak iPhone 3G for Mac users:
http://www.iphonehacks.com/2009/01/jailbreak3g-mac.htmlor Windows users:
http://www.iphonehacks.com/2009/01/jailbreak3g-win.htmlThe guides include steps to update your iPhone to firmware 2.2 and baseband/modem firmware 02.28.00.
After you have upgraded and jailbroken your iPhone, you can use this guide to unlock your iPhone 3G.

Using UK Orange SIM:
Method 1 didn't work for me. Didn't try 2, 3 looked easier. Method 3 worked!! Thanks Anton!!
Note: It found a carrier (AT&T) while on step 4. waiting for the 1 minute+... Still, did the rest of the proc and all good!Turned all back on again in BossPrefs, as I did wonder about the SIM being able to handle 3G or Edge, which thought it wouldn't since it's a simple pay as you go SIM. It did sit Searching....long on turning 3G and Edge on, but on turning WiFi on after waiting a while, it grabbed AT&T. :))

Is there a way to do the unlock by downloading yellowsn0w to my Mac, and syncing it to the iPhone? i.e. jailbreaking and unlocking a used iPhone bought privately without a contract with any carrier. Then, after jailbreaking and unlocking, using my current SIM to get service..?
-
i was wondering if this yellowsn0w could be integrated with quickpwn
the two step might become one -
im in iceland and cant get my 3g to work with the siminn network :(

Worked perfectly first time on a US AT&T phone (from e**y) used on Vodafone UK. Previously I was using Gevey turbo sim but was v poor signal strength and no good for roaming abroad. Signal strength now superb with full 3G capability. Thanks guys, brilliant work.
-
Worked for me with Orange France with the airplane on-off swith. Phone was originally locked to AT&T.
-
Your team is doing a great work. I am planning to buy the iphone and unlock it. Can you suggest from where should i buy the iphone.. from the Apple store ?
-
It works perfectly with italian sim card.I used jailbreak and then yellowsn0w.after reboot and its done, i get carrier.thanks...
-
I have a rogers iphone without a working sim. I need to run cydia but it is not seeing internet. Any tips arround this?
-
I have unlock 2 of my iphone without any problem.
Thanks alot -
Worked beautifully following the instructions provided by Dev Team. I was running 2.2 under the TurnoSim. Now without Turbo Sim it's working just fine. T-mobile in the US. Installing yellowsn0w did reset my 'cellular data network' setting so I had to set that to wap.voicestream.com To get EDGE network back up. But it all went very smooth.
-
Wow this works flawless less than 10minutes and my Iphone 3g which i upgraded by mistake works on 3 network
thanks a ton !!!1
-
hey, I got an error message says "Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)" what should i do?
-
works perfectly
-
If you upgrade your iPhone 3G to the latest firmware after unlocking it then it will SIM lock your iPhone if you are not using one of the official iPhone carriers.
Deb team's unlocking solution for iPhone 3G is not a low-level unlock like they have managed for the 1st gen iPhone. That is the reason they have warned iPhone 3G users to use the PwnageTool to preserve the baseband so that it can be unlocked.

Hi Josehp,
I got the same problem. Have you solved it yet? Cos I bought my iPhone 3G in Vancouver, Canada (on Rogers network), now I am in Beijing, China, and I got no service at all.
Thanks

Hi Chris,
I got exactly the same problem, no internet connection, could not load Cydia. Have you got a solution yet? By the way, I am also on Rogers.
Thanks,
