02 Jan, 2009, 3:05 pm IST | Shayne Rana | Smartphones

The iPhone Dev Team’s yellowsn0w iPhone 3G unlock application (beta) is out, kudos to the guys on the Dev Team for delivering. The procedure for the unlocking an iPhone 3G is as follows –
  • Jailbreak the handset (use QuickPWN or the PwnageTool)
  • Upgrade to firmware version 2.2 (02.28.00 baseband)
  • Use Cydia or Installer application to install yellowsn0w

Since this is the Beta versions of the unlocking application it’s pretty much an at-your-won-risk situation. For detailed information on yellowsn0w click here and if you do intend to give this shot do send in your experience to the Dev team, it'll only help make it easier for others to follow.
