There you have it folks, the iPhone 3GS has been unlocked! The iPhone Dev Team hasn’t launched a new unlock software. And there’s no need to do so for now. Don’t try this at home, especially if technology kinda scares you away! What you have to do in order to unlock the new iPhone is to jailbreak it first using purplera1n and then unlock it using the ultrasn0w made by the iPhone Dev Team. That’s how it’s supposed to work although we won’t be surprised if the hack isn’t 100% efficient:

Louis said…Excellent Jailbreak program! RC2 seems to work better than RC1. Make sure you restore your iPhone 3GS with the original firmware 3.0 from Apple, then run Purplrra1n RC2 from Windows. You must have a valid ATT SIM card to activate the phone, then run Freeze to install Cydia. After rebooting, update Cydia and install ULTRASN0W, then you are ready to use any SIM card you have. Enjoy a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone 3GS!

The iPhone Dev Team will release it’s unlock solution once iPhone 3.1 OS is in place so you’ll have to be patient for a while!

iPhone 3GS owners will not be able to unlock their handset right now but everyone still playing with an iPhone 3G that’s running iPhone 3.0 can now unlock it. The iPhone Dev Team has clear instructions for you so all you have to do is backup your phone and use Ultrasn0w to unlock it:

1. Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
2. Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool (this will also install Cydia/Icy)
3. Run Cydia or Icy
4. Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”! If you use the letter “o” you’ll get an error.
5. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w
6. Reboot your iPhone 3G
7. T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
8. Enjoy

Well that didn’t take long — OS 3.0 for the iPhone/iPod Touch hasn’t even been officially publicly released and already the iPhone Dev-Team is announcing that they have successfully jailbroken it.

Now, they aren’t releasing the software unlock to the public until Friday (the same day the iPhone 3G S comes out) in hopes that Apple won’t be able to fix it last minute.

Anyways, be sure to check out the above video demoing what the Dev-Team is calling ultrasn0w (the actual demo starts at 1:57) and await its June 19th arrival.
