Ultransn0w 0.9 is out. I’m sure most of you’ll are familiar with ultrasn0w so lets just skip to what the DevTeam has to say:

DevTeam:

Ultrasn0w version 0.9 is out!  We believe it solves pretty much all of the various random issues that have been reported.  Its features include:

• Works on both 3G and 3GS
• Works on hacktivated devices
• Works regardless of how you jailbroke your device
• Doesn’t patch any mach-o binary whatsoever.  (Doesn’t require a separate patch as each new firmware comes out).
• Doesn’t install any additional daemon
• Has no race conditions, no popups about “Missing SIM”, no network issues
• Is almost 7000 times smaller than its nearest competition

This is the “Short Version” for people with not too much time on hand but for others, you’ll can read up the whole  post here!

Is available now via Cydia.  Source repo is http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com (that last “0” in ultrasn0w is a zero!)”

Both ultrasn0w & redsn0w updated to version 0.8.

• There isn’t an official post on the Dev-Team’s website.
• redsn0w is now ready to jailbreak iPhone 3GS
• ultrasn0w is now ready to unlock iPhone 3GS
• If ultrasn0w already works for you, 0.8 won’t add anything new. This 0.8 is mostly for 3GS users

iPhone Dev-Team:

About 5 hours ago (Thursday evening, less than a week after the 3GS launch), we were able to verify that the 24Kpwn exploit that the hybrid team used on the iPod Touch 2G is still present in the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS. That means we can apply the same sort of technique used by our current redsn0w tool to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS.

This is great news, but how did it happen?  Why didn’t Apple fix this in their normal cat&mouse fashion?  Well it seems this bootrom was cut in about the August 2008 timeframe, so the unintended early reveal of 24Kpwn earlier this year didn’t affect the iPhone 3GS.

For our technical notes on where the 24Kpwn exploit is in the 3GS, see here (pastebin hash of it is here).    Our original blog post for when this exploit was first found is here.

And yes, ultrasn0w will be able to be used on the iPhone 3GS for you unlockers!

Important: Apple has not given up on the cat&mouse game, and in fact there are challenging aspects of the 3GS jailbreak that aren’t in the other devices.  It’ll take some time to safely work these into our tools, but the fundamental weaknesses are there:  The bootrom is exploitable via 24Kpwn, and the baseband is exploitable via ultrasn0w.  (And just like with the 3G, ultrasn0w for 3GS requires that you not update your baseband when Apple comes out with new firmware.)

Few hours ago Dev-Team release they new unlocking software called “Ultrasn0w“. As they said before, ultrasn0w can be used to unlock iPhone 3G (Firmware 2.x & 3.0) and the new iPhone 3GS (If jailbreakable!!!).

Using ultrasn0w is easy as 1,2,3!

Instructions

1. Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
2. Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool -How To-
3. Add the following repository to Cydia or icy
   • repo666.ultrasn0w.com
4. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install it
   • T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
5. Reboot your iPhone 3G
6. Enjoy!

Users who purchased an iPhone 3G alien must still wait a while ‘before being able to update and unlock their devices. The Dev-Team is working on ultrasn0w and MuscleNerd via Twitter, tells us that the daemon will also work on SIM locked by a PIN.
