Geohot, the original iPhone unlocker is claiming that he has a jailbreak for the iPhone 3G S.  If this is true, Ultrasn0w could be used to unlock the iPhone 3G S as well.  This jailbreak will be called Purplera1n.  Stay tuned.  We will have more details!

It Is Sn0wing in June: UltraSn0w Unlocks All iPhone 3G iPhones!

Yes everyone, it is Tuesday June 23, 2009 at 1:34am (central time) and the iPhone Dev Team has just released ultrasn0w to the public just a couple minutes ago. (We are also the first to break the news, other than the dev team of course)

This is it folks!

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

What?! Is what you all have in mind right now. Well its true. A couple of weeks ago T-Mobile did a “system update” and it caused some major issues with unlocked iPhone users (on T-Mobile USA).

Some of the issues include,  “blank text messages from the future” and a “flurry of texts” would arrive whenever a voicemail was received. To add insult to injury, the text-messages were costing the user some money, as he/she didn’t have an unlimited texting plan.

So what would any other company have done? I think they would have given the “oh really… thats too damn bad” speech. Well, T-Mobile actually took action and supported the unlocked iPhones.

They told customers that they would “fix this as soon as possible…6 months at max”, well, I assume many customers believed that they were just BS-ing them, well T-Mobile fixed this issue in 3 days.

Incredible! So it seems T-Mobile does care about its customers in a way that may cost them in the future by a possible lawsuit. Knowing AT&T, they might be considering a lawsuit, due to the fact that they might be infringing on Apple and AT&T’s exclusive contract.

We will just have to wait and see…
