The dev team has announced the completion of the iPhone 3G unlock on their website, blog.iphone-dev.org.
They will are planning to release the unlock via QuickPwn or BootNeuter
by New Year’s Eve. You must be running baseband 2.11.07 or earlier.
That means if you’ve upgraded firmware since 2.1 without using a tool
that creates a custom firmware then you’ll have to wait until they get
the newer baseband unlocked. Others who will also be waiting are 2nd
Generation iPod Touch owners. Work on it’s jailbreak won’t begin until
at least 2009. Finally, if you’re having troubles with the latest OS X
10.5.6 update there are some possible fixes. There are try at your own
risk:
1. Replace the following plugin kexts from within
IOUSBFamily.kext with the ones from 10.5.5 and then rebuild kextcache
(if you don’t understand this, then you shouldn’t attempt it!)
/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBHub.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOUSBCompositeDriver.kext
2. Use a USB hub in-between the DFU device and the Mac and insert/reinsert the iPhone’s USB cable.
3. Use a PwnageTool created .ipsw on Windows! Oh the irony!
