iPhone Dev-Team Shows Off iPhone 3.0 Jailbreak and “UltraSn0w” Unlock

ultrasn0w-proof-rm-eng

Engadget Mobile brings word that the iPhone Dev-Team has shown off a working Jailbreak and Unlock — now dubbed UltraSn0w — via Qik video.

The Jailbreak and Unlock should be available on Friday, though TiPb’s guess is it may not work on the new iPhone 3G S, since it took 6 months to unlock the iPhone 3G via yellowsn0w and longer for the 2nd generation iPod touch via redSn0w. We’ll likely know more when the Dev-Team gets some quality time with the new hardware and figures out what, if any, new cats Apple has brought for the mice to game…

    Thought we only had to wait till Friday for ultrasnow, not the jailbreak

  2. Ali Says:

    Yes you can Jailbreak it only unlock will be released on friday.

  3. Evan Says:

    well i think the jailbreak is ready to come out too but i think they are waiting for friday to make sure apple releases 3.0 without making any changes to prevent the unlock and jailbreak

  4. JDM Says:

    Why would this work on any previous iPhone (1st gen and 3G) but MAYBE NOT the 3GS? I dont get it. Isnt it the same OS?

  5. Gibran H Says:

    It is in fact the same OS, but the hardware is different which means the process of jailbreaking is different. Ultrasn0w should work on the 3GS if it can be jailbroken since the Baseband (Software) is the same.

  6. Vermillion Says:

    The Dev Team has stated that the only way to “block” their jailbreak is to modify the hardware itself. I wouldn’t be surprised, and in fact it is to be expected, that Apple found a patch for it by this time around.

    Never give up though. Everything that can be Engineered can be reverse-engineered ;) .

  16. Jose Says:

    I have Iphone with t-mobile (version 2.2) I’m sorry for my question but What I need to do to upgrade my version to 3.0 this friday. thank you in advance.

  17. bezzer88 Says:

    @jose i’m not sure if you are asking a question or just stating what you are going to do but if you want your phone to be unlocked (so you can continue using t-mobile with 3.0) the yes you should wait untill friday when ultrasnow will be released that way you know there won’t be any problems if all is done properly hope this helped.

    p.s on the quickpwn site they are saying quickpwn 3.0 will be out soon and to stay tuned but i’m not getting my hopes up because i think it won’t be released till late tonight/early morning or friday day/night

  18. Decmister Says:

    yeh theres a field where you can insert your email adress and they will send u an email when its out.im downloading the 3.0 firmware but will have to wait to jailbreak it,,hope its out soon and i think ill cope:D:D:P

  19. aurius Says:

    @bezzer88 You needn’t have bothered. The GM is the same build as the “official” release, so there is absolutely no difference between the software.

  20. Jay Says:

    Where do you get the 3.0 firmware !!

  21. bezzer88 Says:

    @aurius i know yeah but the restore seemed to make it function better it was a bit laggy b4 so im thinking i would of had to restore it again sooner or later it might of not restored properly not sure

    fingers crossed all goes well today and we get our hands on the devteams amazing work thanks again dev_team
