Important note for users of iPhone firmware v2.2.1 and Yellowsn0w iPhone 3G unlock hack
Posted by james on January 31st, 2009 at 01:39am Comments
The iPhone Dev Team, creators of countless jailbreak and unlock programs for the iPhone, have announced that the recently released iPhone firmware v2.2.1 contains some code that hinders the operation of Yellowsn0w, their unlock program for the iPhone 3G.
Acccording to them: “Yellowsn0w will NOT work with the baseband version (02.30.03) that is present in the recent 2.2.1 update. If you want to use Yellownsn0w you will need to create and restore using a custom .ipsw that will allow you to update safely to 2.2.1 without applying the 02.30.03 baseband update. You’ll then have a 3G iPhone running 2.2.1 with an older baseband version that is still vulnerable to yellowsn0w, following these steps ensures that yellowsn0w will still operate.”
And if you want to grab an older version of iPhone firmware for this purpose, you can do so here.
