Ultrasn0w: iPhone 3G Unlock for firmware 3.0 is ready

DevTeam released Ultrasn0w – application that will unlock your iPhone 3G with firmware 3.0. Here are the instructions:

  • Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
  • Jailbreak your iPhone using redsn0w (this will also install Cydia)
  • Run Cydia
  • Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”! If you use the letter “o” you’ll get an error.

    Firmware 2.2.1 is officially hacked

    Yes, DevTeam released new version of their software. First of all, please, do NOT use unofficial software from unknows sites (f.e. quickpwm.com). We recommend to download from torrent or official mirors.

    We regulary publish latets software and firmware links. Use them or the same ones from DevTeam site.

    So:

    • iPhone 2G and iPod Touch: update to 2.2.1 with iTunes and run QuickPwn to jailbreak, activate and unlock you device.
    • iPod Touch 2G: sorry, you need to wait a bit more
    • iPhone 3G + NO UNLOCK: If you do not need unlock, you are using your iPhone with one carrier or you hae factory unlcoked iPhone, just restore or upgrade to 2.2.1 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer.
    • iPhone 3G + UNLOCK: you need to preserve current baseband software. Preserving the baseband will ensure that you can still use “yellowsn0w” the iPhone 3G unlock application. To upgrade your phone to 2.2.1 and preserve the state of the baseband you need to create a custom .ipsw with PwnageTool. This custom .ipsw will not contain the baseband update but of course will still allow all the cool new stuff from 2.2.1. PwnageTool is only available for Mac OS X.

    DevTeam updated yellowsn0w to version 0.9.7 to work with modified (!!!) firmware 2.2.1, in which you preserve old baseband from firmware 2.2.

    Get internet on a desktop or notebook through IPhone 3G

    Thanks to Dev Team and the porting work of Jay Freeman as well as the authors of 3Proxy, it is now possible to “tether” your iPhone 3G and use its Internet connection on your laptop.

    Warning – Tethering your iPhone is against the iPhone data plan terms. AT&T could slap you with huge fees if you overuse this. I recommend only using it during emergencies.

    Here is a basic plan (by the way, this should work for old IPhone also):

    • Jailbreak your iPhone 3G
    • Install 3Proxy and Terminal
    • Create an ad-hoc Wi-fi network using your laptop
    • Join the network with your iPhone
    • Find the iPhone’s IP address
    • Open Terminal and run the proxy program
    • Open Safari on your iPhone and open a web page
    • Configure your browser to use the proxy

    Later we’ll discuss it with more details.

    Step 1: Jailbreak your iPhone

    Just download PWNageTool 2.0. Run it and follow the instructions. Make sure to add Cydia, when asked.

    Step 2: Install 3Proxy and Terminal

    During the jailbreak, Cydia should have appeared on one of your app pages: use it and let Cydia load and self-update.

    Then head to Install, All Packages, then find MobileTerminal and 3Proxy (3Proxy is at the bottom). Install both and hit your Home button. Your phone will restart and you’ll see Terminal installed on your home screen. 3Proxy isn’t a GUI app and as such won’t have an icon.

    Step 3: Create an ad-hoc Wifi network using your laptop

    Using whatever wireless software suite you have, create an ad-hoc network. On a Mac it’s in the Airport menu, under “Create network…”. Name it something inconspicuous. I called mine “baladoux”. On your iPhone, join the ad-hoc network.

    Step 4: Find your iPhone’s IP address

    Then, hit the blue arrow next to it, and wait for your IP address to show up:

    Memorize (or write down) this IP address. You will need it later.

    Step 5: Open Terminal and run the proxy program

    Simple enough. Open Terminal, type “socks” and hit return.

    Nothing will appear to happen, but the SOCKS server will be running. You can hit the home button to push Terminal to the background (remember to terminate it later, by switching back to Terminal and holding the Home button until it closes).

    Step 6: Open Safari on the iPhone and open a web page

    Any page will do. I recommend http://pwnagetool.ru

    This step is important. The page will take a while to load. When Safari realizes it can’t get to the Internet using the ad-hoc Wifi, it will do some internal magic to switch back to 3G for Internet while still on your ad-hoc network. That lets the proxy do its thing.

    Step 7: Configure your browser

    In Firefox, head to Preferences, and under Advanced, Network, hit Settings:

    Then, fill in the iPhone’s IP address (which you memorized earlier) into the SOCKS Host field, and put 1080 as the port number. Make sure all other proxy fields are blank and/or 0 as shown:

    Then, since the proxy doesn’t forward DNS, you will also have to change an advanced option in Firefox. In the Firefox URL bar, enter “about:config” and hit Enter

    In Filter, type “socks” and then double-click “network.proxy.socks_remote_dns” to make its value “true”.

    That should be all you need! Firefox should be able to browse the Internet through your iPhone’s 3G connection.

    Tethering costs a lot of battery life on the iPhone so make sure you have it plugged in. When you’re done, make sure to quit Terminal by opening it back up and pressing and holding the Home button until it quits.

    Thanks to cre.ations.net for this tutorial.
