I'm still confused about which iPhone to buy. I know the iPhone 3GS is the latest version, but I don't see much diffrence between the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. At least I know how to unlock the iPhone now

Thanks everyone.

I tried Blacksn0w. it worked first time but then when I rebooted my iphone 3gs 3.1.2 it got stuck on recovery mode. I restored it from itunes and tried to unlock again but this time I am getting stuck at recovery mode.

anyone have faced such issues.

Does this new Blacksn0w unlock a First Generation Iphone 3.1.2? If not then what would you recommend I should use?

OH MAN The Dev team is awesome, GEOHOT is the man. I once said that this could never be done especially with the 5.11.07 baseband. I could never be happier to have been SO WRONG..

GEOHOT .... DEVTEAM awesome work

I need some advice. I'm new to the iphone world. I've Blacksn0wed successfuly. However, like Tom, I'm getting a "could not activate cellular data network" message when ever I run some apps when outside of wifi range. Even when I have an "E" and full bars. I have reset network settings & cold booted several times, but still get the same results. Is there a network setting that I'm missing or unaware of?

Google tethering 3.1.2 real quick. There is another website you can go to and download a profile that enables tethering. It's not the Ben.at site.

I'm not seeing tethering either, and I also have hard rebooted. Any suggestions?

Thanks Saul and everyone else. Very informative.

Can't wait for the update to come out. The Dev team seems to not be keeping up with Windows versions of their jailbreak software.

Thanks to Geohot for remember us Windows user (which is the majority of iPhone users by the way).

@ Jose.. thanks i meant to say Jailbreak and not unlock.. but thanks again for the reply

I really think PDAnet is the inferior choice for tethering. MyWi works with USB without installing any software, and MyWi also works as a Wifi router without having to setup an adhoc connection on the PC. Plus it's cheaper. I've used both and PDANet can be a pain sometimes. MyWi works perfect.

Either way, the blacksn0w unlock re-enables tethering so you don't need either of these.

All unlocking does is edit your baseband to use the phone on non-AT&T carriers. The only difference you will see is that a T-mobile (or other) sim card will now work in your iPhone.

Tethering answer- use pdanet. Offers USB and adhoc tethering. Simply put it works. No questions, no issues, just works.

As far as unlocking, I Think it's similar to a jailbreak, where once you do it there are no immediate and obvious effects, although the phone is now "unlocked" or "jailbroken" whichever the case may be. It doesn't change anything already on the device, it just opens it up with new capabilities.

quick question from a rookie... by me unlocking, does that remove everything I have on my phone already? Contacts pics apps etc?

Yes Mike you can use MyWi to tether... there are other ways... But I like MyWi cause you can choose between usb, bluetooth or wifi to connect!!!!

To all future question askers: Yes, Yes, and Yes. Blacksn0w does everything, and even cooks you dinner afterwards.

took me forever to find out that all the other unlock software would not work with 5.11.07, very glad to know it'll be out today.

Does this mean my 3Gs will run on Tmo now?

By: Mike

Question for everyone.

Does anyone know if with blackra1n & blacksn0w, will we be able to tether on 3.12?

Please advise.

Thanks
