2.7.2008UltraSn0w unlocks any 3G iPhone
The iPhone Dev Team has released a video demonstrating a new unlocking method for all iPhone 3G's. The new unlock will be able to unlock the 3G
iPhone running 3.0 firmware regardless of baseband or bootloader, where in the past has prevented future unlocking of the iPhone. The new tool,
replacing the previous YellowSn0w, will be called UltraSn0w on Friday, after Apple has released the 3.0 firmware and can make last minute adjustments.
UltraSn0w will both unlock and jailbreak the iPhone. Jailbreaking is what allows the device to run unsigned applications that are not distributed by
Apple. This new method will work on the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G running 3.0.

17.06.2009iPhone 3G unlock shown live to the web
As previously reported on Neowin last week, the iPhone dev-team has announced they've figured out how to unlock the iPhone 3G for use on any GSM
network you have in your country. The patch will be released on New Years Eve and will require an iPhone that is running 2.11.07 baseband or lower and
will have to be jailbroken. For those of you who were wondering how this is done, there was a demonstration of "yellowsn0w" (the codename for the
unlock) shown live to the Internet by a member of the Dev-Team Blog named MuscleNerd. He used Qik on an iPhone 2G which allowed everyone watching to
communicate with him and ask questions along the way.

30.04.2008iPhone dev team confirm 3G iPhone unlocked for all networks
The unofficial iPhone dev team have confirmed moments ago that they have completed an iPhone 3G unlock and are currently packaging a user-friendly
application with the simplicity that you see in other applications from the team like QuickPwn. The update will be released on New Years Eve and will
require a jailbroken iPhone and 2.11.07 baseband or earlier. Jailbreaking is a method of unofficially hacking the device and allowing it to run 3rd
party applications not available on Apple's official AppStore. The latest iPhone 2.2 software updates the baseband beyond 2.11.07 and it is
recommended that if you want a 3G unlock that you do not update to 2.2 using iTunes alone.

16.12.2008On New Years Eve, iPhone 3G Unlock to go public
Yellowsn0w is the codename to the iPhone 3G unlock. Yesterday, the Dev-Team announced that they have officially unlocked the 2.11.07 baseband on the
iPhone 3G. Users of the 2.2 firmware update do not have the 2.11.07, and will not be able to unlock their devices (the Dev-Team has previously told
users not to upgrade if you wanted to get your phone unlocked).
Yellowsn0w (the codename to the unlock software) will be available for
all users in Cydia, so no restore will be necessary. Since it will be installed via Cydia, it does not matter if you have a PC or Mac.
So, from now until the estimated launch date of New Year's Eve, the Dev-Team will put this software under extensive testing and QA. They have said
before that until it is one-hundred percent stable, they will not release it to the general public, because they do not want to harm the device.
Complete instructions for unlocking will be given upon launch of the software. Just do not update past version 2.11.07 of the baseband.

18.12.2008Apple iPhone 3G unlocked already
A group from Brazil has managed to unlock Apple's iPhone 3G handset just days after its release. The unlocked iPhone is displayed and demonstrated
in an online video on a Portuguese-language news blog. An unlocked iPhone can be used with any Sim card and service provider.
IPhone user
Bruno MacMasi said in an interview with Gizmodo that the unlocking process involved modifying the Sim hardware so that the International Mobile
Subscriber Identity can be overwritten and removed from the original network. A similar process was used to unlock the original iPhone last year.
Separately, a group of researchers known as the iPhone Devteam has released the first 'jailbreak' software releases for the iPhone 3G and the
iPhone 2.0 software update. The 'jailbreak' term refers to the process of removing the software controls which prohibit users from installing
software outside of the iPhone App Store.

17.07.2008UK O2 users now able to unlock iPhones
O2 confirmed today that from November 10 all O2 customers in the UK will be able to unlock their iPhone devices for use on other networks. The unlock
will be free for pay monthly customers at any time during their contracts but O2 will charge a one-off £15 fee for Pay & Go unlocking at the end
of 12 months after purchase. O2 customers can complete an unlocking form and O2 will unlock the device within 14 days. O2 were quick to stress that
existing pay monthly customers will need to honour the remainder of their contracts despite the ability to unlock. Unlocking is a process that allows
users to place a non-O2 sim card into the iPhone device.

21.07.2008iPhone 3G Unlocker (Yellowsn0w) shown in video!
Yesterday, the iPhone Dev Team posted a live video of the iPhone 3G unlock tool, codenamed Yellowsn0w. MuscleNerd, who is part of the iPhone Dev Team,
was the member who explained how it worked, and showed it in action in the video.
Basically, you just have to have the iPhone 3G already
activated and jailbroken with the 2.1/2.2 firmware. Then, you download the Yellowsn0w app from Cydia. Remove your AT&T sim card, and replace it with
another sim card. Then, run the Yellowsn0w app, and within about 20 seconds, your iPhone 3G should be fully working.
It is expected to be
released New Years Eve.

21.11.2008Apple may be adding 3G to future MacBooks
A recent job posting at Apple suggests that the company may be introducing 3G into future MacBooks as a standard. The job posting is seeking for a
quality-assurance engineer with experience in various networking technologies, such as BlueTooth, Wi-Fi, and/or 3G Wireless Wan. The job posting is
only a small glimmer of hope that Apple could introduce 3G as a standard into all future MacBooks and possibly all manufactures for even PC laptops
could follow suit. The next big addition to all future laptops could be 3G wireless support built into the computer, something Apple and AT&T already
have a partnership with, with Apple's iPhone 3G.

06.05.2009RedSn0w Demo Goes live! Not quite finished...
The second generation iPod Touch has finally been jailbroken! The iPhone-Dev Team, which previously expressed no interest in the iPod Touch, as they
were focused on the iPhone 3G unlock, have been the first one to do it! Their excuse that they had to work on the iPhone 3G unlock is now invalid
because YellowSn0w is out, so they must have some free time to do it!
The initial jailbreak has said to only have taken them a mere
hour to crack. But, there are still problems they need to solve. There have been other developers working on a 2G iPod Touch jailbreak, such as the
Chronic Dev Team, but they have not been successful yet.
Minutes ago, a Dev Team member, MuscleNerd launched a live video on Qik
demonstrating the jailbreak process and the problem that they are still faced with.
The video showed the 2G iPod Touch preloaded with the
jailbreak data, but it would not boot. The kernel was giving an invalid kernel error, since it was not signed by Apple. With a simple click of the
"Redsn0w" button, the kernel signature check for Apple went away. The iPod now booted like normal, with Cydia and Installer.
The
problem they still face is there is no way right now to have the kernel be patched to allow for a non-Apple signed kernel every boot. Currently, you
have to patch the kernel to allow the kernel to boot with their jailbroken kernel on every reboot. So, this is sort of a tethered jailbreak, and not
useful to most people Their goal is to remove the tethering requirement.
Once they achieve that goal, we will see the jailbreak software,
codenamed RedSn0w (similar to yellowsn0w) released!
