Unlock you iphone 3g for free and for real

After a long time, we can finaly unock our iphone 2.2.1 for free using a software thanks to DEV-TEAM. It doesnt matter if you have bootloader 5.8 , 5.9 , 6.0,6.2 or even newer if apple realesed nowdays. Doesnt matter if you have basebank 2.30.03 or 04.26.08, you can unlock all of them and here is how.

Upgrade your iphone using itunes (you must upgrade the itunes also) with firmware 3.0. After upgrading you need to jaibrake your iphone so you can install cydia or icy. There are many ways to do it, but the easiest is using redsnow software. A step by step goide for jailbraking can be found at this site http://iphonefreakz.com/2009/06/22/step-by-step-instructions-jailbreak-os-30-windows/ but make sure that you got the latest redsn0w version (0.72).

After jailbraking, you will get cydia or icy on your iphone springboard, and you have to do the following:

1. Run Cydia and go to manage.

2. Tap on Sources

3. Click on Edit in the upper right corner

4. Tap on Add in the upper left corner.

5. Cydia will promt you to enter the new sorce so make sure you write http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com (you must enter the https://)  The o in snow in actually a zero, so make be carefull

6. Once the url has been entered, select Add Source.

9. You will see the ultrasn0w app, and install it just like any other application from cydia.

11. After installing ultrasn0w you have to do a hard Restart of your iphone 3g by holding power and home button at the same time, and release them when yourl phone will restart

12. The iPhone 3G is now unlocked and you can enter any SIM card without any chip such as rebelsim, universal sim, turbosim…You may need to restart your iPhone after inserting the new SIM.

We’re not responsible for any damage coused to your iphone using the tools described on this post.

UPDATE: When you will jailbrake you iphone using redsn0w, select it to install only Cydia , or only ICE (which i dont recommand). If you install both of them you wont be able to unlock your iphone with ultrasn0w. You will this error:

Error-sub process \usr\bin\dpkg returned an error code (1)  or (2)

This error pops up in iphone 3g, i dont have any information about iphone 2g, i hope Sarim Ghani

    Hi, so basically I cannot unlock my phone when it’s using firmware 2.2.1? I have NO choice but to upgrade it to 3.0 for it to work right?

    Yes Max, you’re right just upgrade to 3.0 and you can unlock. Upgrade before ver 3.1 is released , otherwise you will have to do a manual upgrade from iTunes
