iPhone Dev Team 'œyellowsn0w' unleashed FOR ALL!

IT Industry - Market

The iPhone Dev Team’s “yellowsn0w” post continues:

"- After you install yellowsn0w via Cydia, you should return to the Cydia main menu then reboot your iPhone with the 3rd party SIM installed.  Wait for the slide to unlock screen, then wait 10 or 15 secs more.   If you don’t see your carrier name pop up, then remove your SIM, reinsert it, and wait 10 secs more.  This is the step we’ll be working on eliminating next.

RANDOM:

- The application is version 0.9.  This is considered beta software, you use it at your own risk. You know the score.

- The application is released on a non-commerical basis.  Please do not accept pirates and scummy ripoffs of this software. We license this software for single use and in a non-commerical environment (meaning you can’t charge for it). The techniques and methods used are not to be used by third party companies. We are watching you Jody…we won’t be so forgiving this time.

- Direct linking to the repository URLs is prohibited, please only link to this post. We will be checking referers.

“Happy 2009 and enjoy!

“The iPhone 3G is used all over the world with all sorts of SIM cards, and we almost certainly will see untested and unexpected situations.  If the soft unlock doesn’t work for you on day 1 (literally day 1, of 2009!) then please don’t panic or be impatient.  This is new territory for everyone, so enjoy the ride as much as you can :)”

So... thus ends the message from the iPhone Dev Team.

Check the Installer and Cydia apps on your jailbroken iPhone 3Gs for the yellowsn0w download, and make sure you’ve updated your iPhone 3G to the very latest 2.2 firmware with the very latest 02.28.00 baseband.

Talk about legendary, and talk about a New Year’s Surprise!!
