In anticipation for the New Years unlocking festivities it is recommended that you definitely jailbrake your iPhone. Here is the reason why. The iphone dev team will be releasing the unlock via cydia. So why not make things easy for your self and get it ready now so all you have to do is install via cydia. It benefits everyone here because there no longer is a need to create separate windows/mac applications. No operating restrictions means easy unlock. But dont jump the gun here please please please dont update to 2.2 firmware because this update will also update your baseband and ruin your chances for software unlocking. I don’t put is past the dev team that they will undoubtedly have an unlock for this baseband sometime in the future. However until then lets get somethings ready that you will need for this upcoming unlock.

I suggest that you use the firmware right beneath 2.2 so use 2.1 so you don’t accidentally update your baseband.

1. iPhone 3G
2. 2.1 apple firmware
3. Quickpwn

If you are on a firmware that is below 2.1 then I recommend updating to at least 2.1 nothing past this. To update open up itunes and hold down shift and browse for the firmware image. If you have an out of the box iphone then put it in DFU mode to update. Once you are on 2.1 simply pwn your phone by using the program quickpwn. Quickpwn will pwn your phone and jailbrake it. You have the option to install cydia installer or make custom boot image. But I like leaving it with default setting and install cydia. That’s it your done and jailbroken on your iPhone 3G so the next step is to wait for new years and the unlock via cydia. This should leave you prepared enough. If I had a mac then I will be able to use pwnage tool and make a how to for you via mac maybe I will invest in one soon. I was lucky that the iphone 3g i purchased was on 2.1 but I has no way of being certain since it was otb. So I blindly jailbroke mine. If you are unsure what firmware you are on because you just purchased it then I wouldn’t recommend doing what I did (Guesstimating) you might end up getting 2.2 if you purchase it today.

When I first unlocked my phone I have never used an iPhone before so I was hesitant on what I should do or how I should go about doing it. Here is a video representation of some information I have gathered over the internet in addition to some simple steps. ***Windows Only*** (more…)
