Download Yellowsn0w 0.9.8 to Unlock iPhone 3G 2.2.1

ADVERTISEMENTS

Yellowsn0w 0.9.8 Unlock iPhone 2.2.1

I suppose every one is aware of yellowsn0w, iPhone 3G 2.2 unlock tool. Yellowsn0w is first soft unlocking tool for iPhone 3G. Yellowsn0w was designed to work with baseband 02.28.0 of firmware 2.2 and in order to successfully unlock your iPhone you need to have firmware 2.2 with baseband 02.28.0.

When Apple has released Firmware 2.2.1 for iPhone and iPod touch, iPhone dev team had warned to all iPhone users not to update their iPhone as you may lose the ability to unlock your iPhone. But Now you don’t have to worry as dev team is about to release latest version of Yellowsn0w 0.9.8 which is capable of unlocking iPhone 3G with firmware 2.2.1.

Download Yellowsn0w 0.9.8 to Unlock iPhone 3G 2.2.1

Download links will be soon updated once iPhone dev team officially release Yellowsn0w 0.9.8

Update: Yellowsn0w to Unlock iPhone 3G 2.2.1 was never released by iPhone Dev Team as Bug used by Yellowsn0w was closed by Apple in latest iPhone 3G running fixed firmware.

Latest iPhone 3G Firmware 3.0 is all set to release and good news for iPhone Unlockers is here. iPhone Dev team has developed Ultrasn0w (replacing yellowsn0w) which can unlock iPhone 3G 3.0 Baseband 04.26.8 with any bootloader.

Here is Demo Video of Ultrasn0w unlocking iPhone 3G 3.0.

Ultrasn0w is expected to release on Friday 19th June. You can safely upgrade your iPhone 3G 3.0 today but you need to wait till 19th June for Unlock.

Anyone hoping to use a different operator sim to the what the phone is locked too have to wait if using baseband 2.30.03, there is nothing officially out there. I have heard rumours of testing but i dont know.

In the mean time if you want a quick fix go out and buy a rebel sim card, you can get one for like £12, im currently using it with Vodafone UK, and although it will not work on FULL 3G, it works albeit slightly slower when browsing.

What is most surprising is after all replies, questions, sad comclusions etc. who says exactly the same thing, YOU CANT UNLOCK YOUR PHONE WITH BASEBAND 2.30!!!, thera are still people asking : “How can i unlock my phone when I upgraded to 2.30, pls help me! Here’s my email address if someone is sitting with the solution but wont write it on the forum but will email me instead” DOH!

Please please please, read at least one row of the discussion before asking such a stupid question…’

Thanks!

Antother maybe more relevant question:
Do anyone know if there are ANY sim that actually works with the 2.30 baseband?
As far as I have read and understood the Rebel SIM is working for a few people (but not many), and some people have stated that the MAXSIM should work, but here are others also.
It would be nice if you can use a SIM unlock until our friends DevTeam has a solution to our problem.

Btw, I bought a new Iphone and made the mistake not to read up on the unlocking business before upgrading upon the first connect to itunes… Maybe stupid but stop laughing at us morons, we are sad enugh as it is :)

I’m here waiting too… At the moment I’m using a REBEL simcard to unlock it. It works cool but some SIM applications don’t work, the Voicemail number isn’t automatically recognized neither. And sometimes (with Orange carrier) if I go too far the REBEL simcard loses contact with the carrier, then I have to pull out the Orange simcard put it into an unlocked phone and then put it back to the iphone with the REBEL to be working again. It’s very annoying, but at least I’m using my iphone until the cool solution comes.

Dear Friends

Im also stuck with 3g baseband 2.30.03. I have searched with local mobile repairers and also searched almost every single Forum available online.

To be honest, i dont think dev will be able to unlock this one, cause this 2.2.1 versions is released from the apple to cease the ability of yellowsnow to unlock iphone 3g ( New safari stability etc are just to bluff) .

As, our beloved DEV team has been taking advantage of some holes and flaws by apple in their previous versions. It will be very difficult for any one or any organization to unlock the new baseband.

However, my aim is not to make all of you hopeless but i want you to be focused on real solution to this common problem. The only solution available at this time is to used Unlock sims, i have tried universal, turbo and Rebel sim card, but they are all of no use.

All thease sims are origninally manufactured in China. And then been sold in uk, USa etc with different claims.

But the best among them is Rebel sim card with it i got signals for one day but then no service. The reason why im saying Rebel is good because rebelsimcard.com which claims to be original manufacturer of Rebel sim Card as UK based firm is working to make rebel sim card work properly by offering upgrade to all their sims owners. And i expect they will shortly find a propoer solution to make it work properly.

Meanwhile, my studied showed me that rebel does work for people in different countries with different carriers. So it might work for you.

And i dont mean to hurt anyone feelings, but i have to tell the truth that dev team is not likely to come with the solution this time. If they do, then they deserve to be called Apple Matser.

Meanwhile anyone with a real and fruitful information regarding ecpected solutions, current solutions or any other idea regarding 2.30.03 can discuss with me. I will keep on checking this post will answer in the comments. Please feel free to ask anything.

BUT Im wondering if I could just start from scratch and Restore, downgrade, jailbreak again and try yellowsn0w ..? Any thoughts? I don’t want to have to to all of that over again but if it will work i will. Im impatient but very grateful for the dev team , as I am already traveling and can’t use my beloved iphone 3g but my spare 4 year old nokia! :( :( :( such a shame.

Dear Amanda

You should try it because u will think over the possibility again and again. But as i said earlier this not possible. You cant soft unlock the 2.30.03.

But dont be dissappointed, cause a solution is there like rebel sim card, bit 3g card,and turbo they all work fine but of course you have to reset sim keys

yes, chell is rite andy is just enjoying by lying. However, it no big problem the solution ( I mean a complete stable solution) will be out very soon. Also today I tried a 3g unlock sim which I bought from the market. It is no cut version an also it is thin as compared to rebel and other sims. It worked well through out day I travelled more than 10 miles from
home and u know wat no errors, no sim kEys reset. The name on the unlock sim is mentioned as BIT 3g sim. But it is cool as no cut and no tape as it is too thin and easy to inject And add along with my carrier sim.

I will keep you all update on unlock sims behaviour and any expected soft unlock solution for 2.30.03

Dear Umer,
So downgrading will downgrade the baseband as well as the firmware? I heard that you will downgrade the firmware but the baseband with stay 02.30.03… if so then its pointless right? Just covering all the bases before I go through all this work… And if it does work how come no one else seems to want to try it?
I would totally buy the rebel sim.. but i have no credit card and Im in Milan with no known sellers of such a thing…any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Written By Amanda
on March 4th, 2009

If you down grade to any firmware version the baseband will indeed stay the same 02.30.03 as I spent a full day downgrading-quick pwn,downgrading-quick pwn,downgrading-quick pwn,downgrading-quick pwn and the baseband didnt move. I bought a rebel sim from ebay for €12 inc delivery from Uk to Ireland! It works fine on all networks except vodafone as it crashes quite a bit, I am on 02 though so it works fine for me, just plug and play, no cutting or code changing etc. Ill go on to my ebay account and send you the link to his shop if you like?
Dev will defo have something soon, just look at all the cracks in the past and there will be loads more to come id say. Remember when the 1.1.4 came out for the 2g and apple said it will never be cracked….and all the updates after that… keep calm.

Haha true. Thats what I have been thinking this whole time..

I too am eager to use my phone while abroad so i think I will try this Rebel sim.. but , again…no credit card…. I would like any help you can give me!

on March 8th, 2009

dear friends

Sorry for late response but I will now check this post regularly.

First to Amanda the is no downgrading will not downgrade the baseband. Firmware can be downgraded but baseband cannot.

Second to michelle and marie please try to buy it from a local mobile accessories shop near you cause u may experience problems with it. As far as my opinion goes you can use any unlock sim rebel sim, turbo sim and BIT sim they are should work.

They are all originally manufactured in china no matter wat one says. They will work fine with 2g settings but it you are planning to use 3g on your iphone then it is not possible.

Anyother question feel free to ask me.

howto:

2. Do quickPwn2.2 procedures (U must know it by now, else, start from reading howto unlock/jailbreak the Iphone thru quickpwn)phone is in DFU btw.
3. unlock using yellowsnow.
4. install automatic ssh then Toggle ssh
5. Now install WINscp to your PC and mobile terminal
6. Open and ENABLE Toggle ssh

HOST NAME: your Iphone’s IP
USER NAME: root
PASSWORD: alpine
7. Save and Close. Then Open again to login: password: alpine
8. Your on the Iphone’s Root, we will now be copying the files (attached).

9. /system/library/audio/uisounds copy paste this file…
10. then /var/root/ this file…
11. after that go to system/liblary/launchDaemons/com.apple.commcenter.plist ( rigth click)
properties on the box Octal enter 755 then click OK

12. Turnoff Iphone. Exit Winscp
13. Open mobile terminal

14. type su
15. Password: alpine
16. ype: chmod 755 BBUpdaterExtreme
17. Type: ./BBUpdaterExtreme update -f ICE2_02.28.00.fls -e ICE2_02.28.00.eep

Just from other people discussing the procedure I assumed it is dodgy. But just to see the settings you have to change seems dangerous. Maby if it went wrong you could just reload the firmware through itunes or something…?

Written By Etsho

Im on bootloader 5.9, as is the majority of iPhone 3G users, some also on 6.02 if im correct?

No way to downgrade this at the moment unfortunately either. Im waiting for them to release something – i presume it will be in a few weeks as if they got this far im sure they can do it for 5.9 as well.

I had to jail break my phone last night just to find out the bootloader and then realise i can’t even downgrade :-(

Hi Sikanda

Thanks for the heads up. my hopes pf converting my iPod touch + WIFI device back into an iPhone 3G.

I have followed the instruction on iClarified, but can not get to the terminal as it doesn’t appear on the springboard.

Could this be a problem with my BootLoader? Help if you can please :-(

Simple man, just go to cydia and in the search type “terminal”. You should see it, download it and you shall have it on your springboard. Cheers.

It doesn seem to work, the boot keeps timing out in the mobile terminal and is failing to boot and downgrade the BB. Could it be that my wireless networks bandwidth is too small to downgrade my BB or is it that my BL is higher than 5.8?

I tired of my comatozed iPhone.

Written By Malcolm jhala

Hi MALCOLM
It’s because ur Boatloader is higher than 5.8 most probably it’s 5.9
Same thing happened with me. I tried and it didn’t work cause my boatloader is 5.9 but i wanted to try anyway cause i was desperate.
You should have checked ur boatloader first.

This worked for me for the last 3 months(since the damn upgrade)
X-sim 3g 2.2.1 BB 2.30.03 unlocker

restored to 2.2 and jailbroken while the sim card (mobinil egypt) and the x-sim installed in the phone (i heard that this is very dangerous as it may brick the BB)

n.b: don’t check the “Unlock the iphone in QPWN”

reset the network data

and wow….working 3g and edge detected and fully functional,
when signal drops, comes back again spontaneously in less than 30 seconds
all proplems that i had with every other rebel sim cards and 2.2.1 was gone
i think 2.2.1 also fails the rebel cards by some unknown way

If you have baseband 2.28.03 then you have nothing to worry about, just jailbrake it, youtube.com have very many solution how to jailbrake you’re iphone.

I have been through it all.
I bought my wife an iphone 3g with firmware 2.2.1 and base band 2.30.03.
-I found the previous version firmware on youtube, downloaded it and did a restored, then did a jailbreak. This allowed me to use cydia.
- On Cydia you can type in 3g fuzzyband and download a utility to downgrade your baseband from 2.30.03 to 2.28.00 right on the iphone (this only works if you have bootloader 5.8 or less. It will not work on 5.9).
I have bootloader 5.9 so I had to buy a sim card to unlock it. Mine is Gevey Turbo Sim 2+ and it works ok but not as good as my older iphone which is unlocked.
This sight is great for information on all this.
