Such a wonderful feat, a blessing for all those who accidentally updated their iPhones to 2.2 (2.28 baseband). Dev Team hinted a 2.28 unlock in a screenshot released today boasting the ever popular 2.28 baseband unlock. Please STOP buying x-SIMs from China and look out for the real deal on Cydia : today (Dec 31st) at 11:59 PM EST.

I am sure you will enjoy the video! A brief yet concise presentaton by the masters themselves. A very good detail but not giving it all up for Apple to take advantage. It is close to an hour’s presentation. Video is not the best of quality but that is all I got my hands on for now.

Credit goes to volkspost @ hackint0sh (for packaging it all up) and Dev Team for initially spilling the beans (though it required some terminal hackery)! volkspost has done a remarkable job in automating the whole procedure saving the average user lot of time and terminal panic attacks!
Macbooks (both Unibody and 10.5.6 enabled Macs) have regained the precedence in iPhone hacking world (QuickPwn / Pwnage). No more switching back to a painful Bootcamp XP partition.
Before you proceed further, make sure your Mac is upgraded to 10.5.6. Quit all running applications on your Mac.

Short and sweet! The software unlock software codenamed yellowsn0w is first uploaded to the iPhone and then it is run via OpenSSH on a Mac, simple huh!

This functionality will be neatly packaged into an App which will be available on Cydia this New Year’s eve. Merry Christmas everybody!

iPhone 3G Unlock (codename : yellowsn0w) is finally ready for general consumption with an anticipated release date of December 25 ~ 31 (Christmas — > New Year’s eve!). It is currently undergoing idiot proof GUI packaging for the total noobs! However, those users who accidentally upgraded to 2.2 firmware from iTunes have no other choice but to resort to x-Sim solutions or a possible baseband downgrade from 2.28 to 2.11 (hopefully).
Great job iPhone Dev Team, you really rock the iPhone world and Apple likes it too, not sure about ATT …
