Unlock iPhone 3G 3GS OS 3.1.2 With UltraSn0w

13 October 2009 by Vinay 33 Comments

These are instructions on how to software unlock the iPhone 3GS with OS 3.0 for use with any GSM cell phone carrier. Before you can follow these instructions you must have a jailbroken iPhone with 04.26.08 baseband. If you have a 05.11.07 baseband then this guide is not for you. There is no soft unlock available in the wild for unlocking the 05.11.07 baseband, Dev team (Musclenerd) promised they started working for unlocking the baseband. Here are the official words “ We’ll continue to work on a carrier unlock for the latest basebands, but the timeframe for such an unlock is unknowable. ”

Breaking : GeoHot is Working on an Unlock for Baseband 5.11.07

_____________________________________________________________________________________

For unlocking your iPhone with 04.26.08 UltraSn0w, a soft unlock payload from iPhone Dev Team is used. UltraSn0w is a small daemon that is launched on boot. It injects the payload at boot and also whenever there is a baseband reset. You won’t notice anything about it other than that your third-party sim now works. Once you have a Jailbreaked iPhone then you can use these easy steps to Unlock your iPhone.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Step One : Press to launch Cydia Installer from your Springboard.

Step Two : Press to select the Manage tab at the bottom of the screen.

Step Three : Press to select the large Sources button

Step Four : Press the Edit button at the top right of the screen.

Step Five : Press the Add button at the top left of the screen.

Step Six : Enter http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com/ as the source url and press the Add Source button.

Step Seven : Once the source has been added press the large Return to Cydia button.

Step Eight : Press the Done button at the top right of the screen.

Step Nine : Press to select http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com/ from the list of user entered sources.

Step Ten : Press to select ultrasn0w from the list of packages.

Step Eleven : Press the Install button at the top right of the screen.

Step Twelve : Press the Confirm button at the top right of the screen.

Step Thirteen : After installation completes successfully press the large Return to Cydia button.

Step Fourteen : Now press the Home button then power off and power on the iPhone. You do this by holding down the power button for 3 seconds then moving the power slider that appears to the right. Press the power button again to turn on the phone.

Step Fifteen : You should now be able to insert the SIM of your choice!

stegfan said:

guyss if u have a iphone 3gs with 3.1 or 3.1.2 just go to blackrain.com and download the file (only windows for now)
i used it on my brand new 3gs OTB,was hacked in 30 seconds as promised!
one thing, better install only cydia with it,i had a lot of problems with rock.
and dont be afraid if it doesnt work for you,u can set your original setting back easy with itunes

You may have noticed that your carrier name or logo is missing after jailbreaking and unlocking your iPhone 3G or 3GS on Firmware 3.1.2. According to Dev-Team, this is caused because of the bug in ultrasn0w and PwnageTool. It wont be affecting your iPhone is anyway, so you dont have to worry about it. But here is a workaround for the same until the Dev-Team comes up with the fix in their next update.

You can follow the steps below to fix the Missing Carrier Logo on iPhone 3.1.2 Jailbreak

Launch “Cydia” on your iPhone, search for a app named “MakeitMine” and install it.
Now Start the app you just installed, now type-in your carrier name in the box given below.
After that Touch on “Carrier” button on the top left to save your changes.

I struggled to unlock my phone after upgrading to OS 3.1.2 and Baseband 05.11.07, however after downgrading to OS 3.0, jalibreaking with ultrasn0w, and then using fuzzyband – I was able to downgrade to baseband 04.26.08 – then the unlock worked perfectly!

Don’t know if this helps anyone, but good luck!

If the software you buy for the purpose of 3g iphone unlock gets old you do not need to worry as recent updates to these software services and the customer cares for answering of all your queries are also available for your benefit.

Layale said:

Rich,

I tried the method you proposed, but I am not being able to downgrade to OS 3.0. Can you please provide the link from where to download the firmware 3.0? And if you can give more details…in fact I am stuck now with a 3.1.2 firmware and baseband 05.11.07 and unable to use my iPhone!

Help is appreciated.
Rgds.

Christophe said:

It doesn’t seem possible to me to downgrade to 3.0 once you’ve updated your iPhone 3GS to 3.1.2.

Rich, your idea seems good but I just cannot seem to make it happen for me.
A little more detail would be much appreciated.

Layale … I feel your pain
