can iphone 3G 2.2.1 be unlocked?
August 2nd, 2016
You don’t unlock the iPhone 3g through QuickPwn, you have to do it through a utility found on Cydia (yellowsn0w)…and no, you likely can’t unlock it now…I think only the basebands found on 2.2 and earlier can be unlocked.
ah ok, is good to know, i hope they can figure it out how to unlock it cuz im gonna do some traveling to different countris and i wanna use my iphone with the carriers from them countries
bootloader must be 05.08 to unlock 3g fw 2.2.1
what is bootloader? can u get me like a tutorial or something? please?
i thought this is impossible to do.
1) open iTunes, click restore, wait.
2) run quickpwn (version you need is 2.2.5)
3) open cydia, and install fuzzy baseband downgrader (or simular, just type fuzzy)
4) run the app, and see if it works or gives you an error. If it works, report back and we’ll continue, if it fails, your iphone can’t be unlocked.
thats for ipod touch not iphone. the iphone is different.

LOL, you kidding me? Ipod touch can’t even be unlocked, that’s called jailbreaking. To unlock an iPhone, you need to modify the baseband. With the 3G, this has to be done live (with the system running), so you need to jailbreak it first. Don’t pretend to be smart when you aren’t…
Just do what i said and report back
Jailbrake first, then YellosSnow for carrier unlock… It cannot be unlocked line iPhone original with QuickPwn…

Yeah, but yellowsnow onley works on the baseband of 2.2, so we need to downgrade first.. using fuzzy baseband downgrader get it?
so if i restore my iphone will i lose all my data? like contacts and that stuff? pictures i just save them, the apps i can install them again, but how do i save contacts. do u have a videotutorial?
I have just spent a few days trying to unlock my 3g iphone in Thailand. No one can unlock the software yet – a place called MBK has all of the latest cracks and copies of everything you can imagine. You can however use the turbo sim card without any issues (they say it only works at about 75%) but since using this I have had no problems and can use any sim card in any country (it cost 700b in Thailand but I don’t know how much they are else where).
Plug in your iphone, open itunes, richt click the name of your iphone on the left side, and click backup. (don’t know if it’s exactly the word backup, just something similar, i’m dutch )
After you do this you will be able to restore the backup once your finished, so you won’t loose anything.
great! thanks, but still not unlock for 2.2.1 right? but 3.0 is already out so is it a good idea to update it or just wait for a hack?
Come on! would you pleas do what i asked you.. There is an unlock for 2.2.1..
1) open iTunes, click restore, wait.
2) run quickpwn (version you need is 2.2.5)
3) open cydia, and install fuzzy baseband downgrader (or simular, just type fuzzy)
4) run the app, and see if it works or gives you an error. If it works, report back and we'll continue, if it fails, your iphone can't be unlocked.

I allready told him that, he has 5.9. The unlock is out on friday by the way It’s called ultrasn0w.
ok, so do i need to instal 3.0 first and then jail break it or how do i do it? or with my already jailbroken iphone 3g i just need to download ultrasnow 3.0 and unlock my cell so i can use it here in my country? i will be here for 2 weeks
question, i have cydia in my 2.2.1 can i just get ultrasnow from cydia and unlock the phone or do i need to update it first to 3.0 ORIGINAL from ITUNES then jailbreak it again and then download ultranow and unlock it? please please please, this is my 4th day in my country and unsing a $10 sucky phone hahaha and i want to use the iphone.
Just wait ’till tomorrow there’s a big chance you’ll have to upgrade to 3.0, but just to be sure, just wait 1 day
Same for you, ask again tomorrow
ok it is tomorrow already lol PLEASE give me a tutorial video or a guide on how to do it, or the links where to get it. please man, i am a noob
Curse the dev team, they only published the jailbreak. The unlock will be released shortly : Ask again tomorrow
Again, check
http://blog.iphone-dev.org/
for updatesthanks
No ultrasn0w.. They released jailbreak for the second gen ipod touch today Keep on dreaming.
so 3.0 cant even be jailbroken yet? neither 2.2.1 for iphone 3G? i havent updated my iphone, im still on 2.2.1 and resotred it back waiting for the freaking ultrasn0w which im starting to think wont be possible or something
3.0 can be jailbroken using Pwnage Tool on a Mac, or using a custom .ipsw on Windows.
see i dont know much of IPSW and i do not own or know somebody who owns a mac as well, so i guess i have to wait until they realease the software for pc and be able to unlock the phone. which in the states i dont really need cuz i have att, but i wanted to use my iphone this 2 weeks in my counrtry. anyway, keep waiting
It’s out
Here is what you need to do:
1) update to 3.0 using iTunes
2) download redsn0w for pc from one of these links:
