UPDATE: It is now available
Unlock iPhone 3g with 3.0 firmware/baseband update
The iPhone Dev Team has got us excited (and Apple worried) by announcing they have a fully-working software carrier unlock ready for the 3.0 firmware ahead of its official release.
On Tuesday evening they will do a live demo of the new yellowsn0w carrier unlock working on official 3.0 firmware, just before the big Apple release. While jailbreaking is already possible on 3.0, this is good news for would-be unlockers with an iPhone 3G, though those going for the 3GS will have to wait a bit longer.
Quickies:
It’s safe to update to the current iPhone 3.0 baseband - ultrasn0w will work with it, but for future updates such as firmware 3.0.1 (or whichever # the next firmware is) you should hold off on updating and check here first to see if it’s safe to update. Apple may be able to make a baseband update that permanently locks your firmware just as they did with firmware 2.2.1 users.
ultrasn0w will only work with iPhone 3G - iPhone 2G users can still unlock their iPhone using BootNeuter
Just like yellowsn0w, ultrasn0w can be installed from Cydia (Repo URL has not been announced yet)
