Just a few days later than we had anticipated due to a few problems encountered by the iPhone Dev Team but ultrasn0w has finally been released. The latest iPhone OS 3.0 unlocking tool for iPhone 3G which was originally known as yellowsn0w has now been renamed as ultrasn0w.
It is very simple to use, in fact you don’t need to download it from a computer, all you need to do is have your iPhone 3G jailbroken using Pwnage Tool or redsn0w so that you can have access to apps from Cydia, from there simply search for ultrasn0w.
Just heads up to all PC users that the iPhone Dev Team’s latest release of redsn0w is compatible with Mac OS X and PC. Redsn0w has very similar functionality to Quickpwn, it will jailbreak firmware OS 3.0 running on first and second generation iPhone, iPhone 3G, first and second generation iPod Touch but not iPhone 3GS – now also jailbreaks iPhone 3GS!
If you’re a PC user and haven’t been able to use Pwnage Tool for jailbreaking your device due to its Mac OS X specificity then redsn0w is definitely worth having a look at as it essentially provides the same outcome. For full details, check out our full guide.

It is now probably the only time in iPhone hacking history which we have tools available to jailbreak and unlock all devices, these include jailbreak and unlock for iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS. Jailbreak is also now fully successful for both generations of iPod Touch.
