iPhone Dev Team To Ring In The New Year With iPhone 3G Unlock

The day many have been waiting for seems to finally be at hand—the Dev Team is announcing that their iPhone 3G unlock method, codenamed “yellowsn0w” (oh, guys!) will drop on December 31.

While it took a little longer than the official iPhone EDGE unlock, it does sound like this is the real deal. The team is claiming a successful unlock—now the next step is to package it up in a user-friendly GUI app like Pwnage Tool.

The only catch is that it will work only with iPhone 3Gs with baseband version 2.11.07 or earlier, and it must be jailbroken. To ensure you preserve an unlockable version of the baseband, the Dev Team has warned against the usage of the QuickPwn jailbreaking tool and against updating via official firmwares without first waiting for Pwnage Tool to work with it. More guidelines for that are here.

Phew, after all this l33t my head is starting to spin, but the good news remains—iPhone 3G unlock is on the way!
