iPhone 3G now unlocked. Hurray everybody.






The iPhone dev-team which is responsible for releasing the software for the famous iPhone days within it was launched in June 2007 has succeeded to unlock the iPhone 3G  from AT&T's clutches ! 

For all those who don't admire AT&T service but love iPhone 3G, it was a long wait indeed. Apple had rendered the old/popular method of unlocking useless; changing the processor of iPhone 3G was one of the changes.


Today, the Dev Team has confirmed in its official blog that iPhone 3G has been successfully unlocked! The team claims they want to make this holiday, A real jolly holiday by releasing the user-friendly software version of the software, packaging it up in the user-friendly GUI App like the Pwnage Tool.  

Expected Release Date : 31st December 2008.
 Update : PwnageTool 2.2.1 is released. The link for the torrent can be found here.

The Dev-Team has a few cautions for the eager iPhone hackers :

Quote from the Dev-Team Blog 
GOLDEN RULE:
  1.  If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
  2. Read item 1 again and again. "

Apple has subdued many user's urge to get their iPhone jailbroken by releasing App Store. I can say it is one Killer App for iPhone. So jailbreaking is not at all as hot as before. The only problem was with the unlocking carrier and making it available for all non-AT&T fans. Not that it was bad but now, with the successful unlocking of iPhone, we can clearly expect MORE OPTIONS.
