iPhone 3G hasn’t been unlocked yet. iPhone Dev Team, the only team working on iPhone 3G unlocking methods, haven’t yet unlocked iPhone 3G. If you are on iPhone 1st Gen, Pwnage and ZiPhone will unlock and Jailbreak it. iPhone 3G isn’t still unlockable. Keep checking this page for the latest on unlocking/jailbreaking news from Pwnage.

Status on unlocking and jailbreaking iPhone 3G and 2.0.2 firmware
iPhone 3G and the 2.0, 2.0.1,2.0.2 and 2.1 firmwares are now released. The iPhone Dev Team have released the newest version of Pwnage tool, making it possible to activate and jailbreak the newest firmware. Owners of the old iPhone will also be able to unlock their phone. The new iPhone 3G is not possible to unlock at the moment.
Jailbreak/Quickpwn new iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G firmwares
Winpwn 2.5 beta is released. It supports jailbreaking (using quickpwn method) of all new firmwares: 2.0, 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. For the old iPhone unlock is also supported. Unlocking of iPhone 3G is not possible, but it does jailbreak iPhone 3G firmwares so that you can use Installer and Cydia. I will update the webpage as soon as it’s possible to unlock iPhone 3G.

Update - 2.0.4 Pwnage Released (MAC)
It seems that some people have been having problems with our initial release, so we have PwnageTool 2.0.1 for you. It addresses the following issues:
- It auto-finds the bl39 and bl46 files better, if they’re on your computer
- It creates the ~/Library/iTunes/Device Support/ folder if not present, which should help with some 1600 errors people have been having.
- Many people have reported the PwnageTool not starting up at all (the icon never stops bouncing). This issue should be resolved now.
- The Sparkle AppCast URL is fixed in this version, so automatic updates should work for future releases.
Because of the AppCast URL fix, we recommend that everyone who downloaded PwnageTool 2.0 get this version, if they want to stay up to date automatically.
N.B: if PwnageTool 2.0 pwned your phone correctly the first time, you do not need to pwn again with 2.0.4.

iPhone 3G has been unlocked by Pwnage - Download PwnageTool-2.0 now (MAC):
Yes, this was just the news I was waiting for. Pwnage (iPhoneDevTeam) has released their first software that can easily unlock 2.0 firmware and iPhone 3G. This is just awesome. Here is how to do unlock your iPhone 3G (users who have upgraded their 1st Gen iPhones to 2.0 firmware can unlock it as well)
Please download the software from Here. Unzip it, Install and follow the instructions and you are good to go
iPhoneDevTeam - Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.
Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it.
Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.
In summary Pwnage software supports:
iPhone (1st Gen) with 2.0 - Activated, Unlocked & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
iPod Touch with 2.0 - Activated & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
iPhone (3G) with 2.0 - Activated, Jailbroken (with support for third party applications).
Few of the initial feedback from users who used this software (from iPhoneDevTeam’s blog)
- Thank you. I downloaded it and used it and it worked flawlessly. I couldn’t be happier. Also, thank you for managing to surprise just about everyone in the world with this one - from embarassed
- it’s working i upgraded my 1.1.4 to 2.0, but Wi-Fi has some problems ny application unable to connect to internet, can any one help in this - from kanna
- Make sure you get the correct version, not the early released one that came back before Apple officially released it. Then you have to remember to remove the .zip at the end and keep it as a .ipsw - The icon will change to a little package box.
- from Lionman

Previous Firmware Updates:
There have been instances where users have upgraded to 1.1.4 using ZiPhone and are finding few strange issues cropping up. I would suggest to check these 3 posts of mine and try it out. I guess most of the issues which are cropping up are due to some files which are left in iPhone before upgrading to 1.1.4 and clashing with the new files which get installed. These usually happen when users install new apps through installer.app. Try either of these to article:
- ZIPHONE updated my firmware 1.1.1 to 1.1.4 but had few issues
- Update/Fix to the same FW version w/o loosing your Data !
- Fix No IMEI, Repair Needed, Ziphone bricks, Dead phones
——————————–
There are 2 ways to unlock/update iPhones. One way is to update the existing firmware(1.0.2, 1.1.1, 1.1.2 or 1.1.3) to the latest firmware that keeps getting released by Apple. Another one is to unlock iPhones that are bought by users all around the world. These iPhones come with latest firmware and are very difficult to unlock. I would recommend buying iPhones once the firmware that those iPhones are using have been jailbroken. You got to wait for 10 to 15 days after a new firmware has been released. This is a good time for people to find a way to jailbreak and unlock that very firmware. If you have any specific questions, do contact me any time.

1. If you have a Locked iPhone or Pre-activated AT&T iPhone which you have just bought, go for the steps below:
1.1.4 is released! Supported in newest version of ZiPhone!
from - iphone.unlock.no
I’ve teamed up with Zibri and i’m proud to present my latest Windows user interface for ZiPhone! This application will jailbreak, unlock and activate any version of iPhone extremely fast and easy!
To download, click the image below and then click “Download ZiPhone” (Mac version also available)
If you get error “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)” you need to install .NET Framework 2.0. Problems, tips for improvements etc. can be posted here

2. If you prefer to update your firmware to the latest firmware using Installer.app, go for this:
from - iJailBreak.com
iJailBreak 0.6 Released: Supports 1.1.4 on all iPhones and iPod Touches
We’ve just released iJailBreak 0.6 (referenced to before as 0.5.5). This version provides 1.1.4 support for all iPhones and iPod Touches, and, as before, allows you to freely enable the $20 iPhone apps. It also adds com.apple.afc2 support, allowing for easy manipulation of the filesystem.
As always, iJailBreak is released under the GNU General Public License version 2, and can be downloaded by choosing Check For Updates in the iJailBreak Menu Bar, or at our Google Code (see below)
Enjoy!
UPDATE: We are currently having trouble with Google Code, so please download iJailBreak from here.
UPDATE 2: If you are having “Spamming AT” errors on your iPod touch, download the NVRAM Fixer from here.
UPDATE 3: We’re not sure quite how it happened, but the iJailBreak download on our server has been corrupted for some time. This has been fixed, so please try the download again (May 11, 2008).

hey i accidentally upgraded my iphone firmware to 2.0 now am stuck can not get network cpverage even after pwnage
when is the new iphone activation software that will enable the first generation phone work
Hi
I also accidentally upgraded my iphone firmware to 2.0. Please help me how to unlock it.
Hi Rupesh, you will have to follow these steps:
1. You need to virginize before going out of 1.0.2, i sugest you put your phone in DFU mode restore to 1.0.3 and jailbreak so that you can virginize.
2. After you virginzie you can use WINPWN or PWNAGE (depending if you are on a PC or a MAC) and DFU to 2.0, however 2.0.1 is just out so i’ll recommend you wait.
If you dont know how to virginize, please follow this link - http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41839&highlight=1.0.2
Hi,
I tried for DFU mode by using Ziphone or iliberty n others…but it doesnt recognize my iphone. Screen always shows the Data Cable with Itunes.
No Software is detecting my Iphone. Some guy said that have to install a fresh software for menu.
Please tell me what to do.
hi…i need an iphone 3g…is there any way to get it from us…it pretty costly here.
Thanks so much for your blog. Tried so many times without success and your note about removing the file in Device Support folder worked! Thank you thank you thank you!
Hey guys, I just official upgraded my first gen Iphone 8gb to 2.1 firmware thru’ Itunes 8.0 and still my Iphone was unlocked but not jail broken. I had to jailbreak my iphone 2.1 thru quick pwn in order to have cydia & installer, which i did. All the apps works flawless. 2.1 firmware is really great with lot of bug fixes specially i was facing hell of a problem in backing up the time consumed was too long and phone book was damn slow. Do upgrade your Iphone to 2.1 it is all worth but ensure that your Iphone should have been pwned before either on 2.0.2 or 2.0.1. Do write to me if you need any help.
Cool Jay.. this is great news.
I am sure many will get back to you with questions.
Thanks for sharing your experience on this blog.
Hi Jay,
I jailbroke my iphone and upgraded it to 2.1. However my SIM has got locked. On iTunes it gives a message stating “The SIM Card inserted on this phone does not appear to be supported”. Can you please advise?
Hey Harsh, you are having problems with the baseband. Download quickpwn from http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ and run it.
my spice sim is not working in iphone 2.1
Hey Goldy, are you on 1st gen or 3G? If you are on 1st gen, go to http://www.winpwn.com and download winpwn and run it. You might need quickpwn as well.
Thnaks
Goldy, how can SPICE sim work on 3G 2.2firmware?
are you sure? It can only with with Airtel/Vodafone in India. Are you using turbo SIM?
I DID THAT PHONE IS WORKING BUT SIM IS NOT WORKING ITS 3G 2.2 IPHONE
ciao ragazzi conoscete il sito http://www.fastunluckiphone.com ? funziona?
I buy the iphone from USA . how to unlock the iphone 3G. which software is available. which sim card is working in india on iphone 3G . urgent help require please…
Hey Prashant, you can unlock your 3G using a TurboSIM. There is no software based unlocking method yet available. Look for turboSIM for 3G on google and buy one. 3G cannot be unlocked using softwares like Pwnage and/or WinPwn or ZiPhone.
Hello. I unlocked my iphone 3G with this website, http://www.iphoneunlockfast.com . Now i want to update my iphone 2G to iphone 3G version…is this possible?? ps: sorry for my English
I dont think that will be possible. Please check with the same website regarding this upgrade to 2.1 version
The comment quality would have to be really good for it not to be recognized as spam. For the prices quoted, it may actually rise above the normal level of comment spam, especially if they’re hiring third-world spammers with some education.
I looked at the guy’s blog. He is definitely not a good blog but your blog is nice and knowledgeble.
Hi there,
I have been able to get my hands on a 3G with 2.1 loaded and jailbroken. I have also bought a Gevey 3G turbo sim hoping that I could use it in India with a vodaphone sim card. Will it work?
Congrats Sharad. Since I dont have any knowledge about Gevey 3G turbo SIM, I wont be able to comment on this, sorry. As far as I know, yes you should be able to user an iPhone 3G with an turbo SIM. You might have cut your vodafone SIM card to fit that turbo SIM though.
And, since its an Hardware unlocked iPhone, DONT EVER UPGRADE YOUR IPHONE. or else it will get bricked.
Thanks a lot Dev.
The Gevey 3G card is so thin that one can put a regular sim card along with the Gevey 3G. I tried it with a T-Mobile (US provider) sim card and it worked.
I was able to buy the 3G iPhone for the equivalent of INR 18,000 and if what they say about unlocking is true (see below link), then why pay INR 35,000.

Thanks again for the response.
Cheers !!
Cool Sharad. this is great news. If one can get 3G for as low as 21k and use all its features. Its just great.
Congrats on this. And thanks for sharing your view… Your comment will surely help many. I wasnt very sure of Turbo SIMs. But now that you have vouched on hardware unlocking mechanism, it will be surely go a long way.
i hv a 3g iphone bought from uk. firmware info as follows
2.1 3G: iPhone1,2_2.1_5F136_Restore.ipsw (02.11.07)
can any one tell me if i can unlock my iphone to use it in india with my vodafone sim card. Plz, plz, plz, plz I need this info asap
Hi Lalit. There is no software unlocking method for iphone 3G yet. Pwnage and Ziphone are still trying to unlock it.
You can only unlock it wiht the help of a turboSIM. This is not reliable and you cannot upgrade your iphone ever.
turboSIMs are available in India as well. Checkout ebay.in or just search for turboSIM for iPhone 3G in google.
Hi, i have a really serious problem with my iphone!
Firstly, i bought a new iPhone 3G from ebay with a Gevey turbosim and used it successfully for a couple of days and then decided to put some music on it from my iTunes and thats when i was asked to upgrade the software to version 2.something, which i did and now the iPhone says “insert valid sim…” and displays a picture of the iphone and connecting lead.
i know ive probably been an idiot by doing the update but it was an innocent mistake. Is there any solution to this or am i basically stuck with an expensive paperweight? Any help GREATLY appreciated.
There is no software based unlocking mechanism yet. Since you used Gevey turboSIM to unlock 3G, the only option left is to get in touch with the makers of Gevey turboSIM and ask for help.
Sorry about this James, I dont think you have much option left. If Gevey turboSIM cant help you, you will have to wait for either Pwnage team (blog.iphone-dev.org) or Zibri (Ziphone.org) to find a software solution for iPhone 3G. These guys had done a great job with iPhone 1st Gen.
