Update #2: Looks like the yellowsn0w application will be in Cydia and it will only work for the 2.28.00 baseband – We were semi-correct about ignoring the post where they told us not to update the iPhone 3G to 2.2
Yellowsn0w will be available once the Dev Team member in charge of their Cydia repo wakes up and fixes the permissions.
Update: The Dev Team have posted a screenshot of the About screen of a firmware 2.2 with baseband (Modem Firmware) 2.28.00 and on the Carrier on the top status bar it says Vodafone with a 3G logo — Further evidence yellowsn0w does work on iPhone 3Gs with 2.28.00 baseband versions
We’re only hours maybe minutes away from iPhone Dev Team’s 3G Unlock, Yellowsn0w – On their most recent blog post, the iPhone Dev Team as usual gave us some type of encoded message.
The message they posted is the following:
01110110
01110100
01100001
01100010
01100101
01110010
00100000
00110110

00110000
00110001
00110111
00110100
00100000
If you decode the binary message, you get vtaber 61060174 if you decode that ROT13 message, you get IGNORE 61060174 — Now, what does IGNORE 61060174 mean? We believe it means to ignore their blog post #61060174 – This blog post – Yeah, remember that blog post from the iPhone Dev Team stating NOT to update your 3G to 2.2, because doing so will update your baseband and you’ll loose possibility of a 3G Unlock. Maybe they are secretly telling us that yellowsn0w will in fact work on all iPhone 3G basebands. Only time will tell.
Try it for yourself!

Wooooooooooooooooo
What a suprise =P
man 1 more hour
ive been in 2009 for the past 13 hours :(
This is hilarious – they think they are Apple now with all their mystery and hype surrounding release… :-P
55 minutes in to 2009 ny time ..still waiting lol
nothing yet huh???? How much longer is this going to take? Does anyone know anything?
Stay Tuned for any updates there may be :)
i can make the guess of A) there drunk and have forgotten,but they deserve it so its ok. B) they live in California where the time is 10.20pm C) they cant upload it for some reason?
i rekon B which means longer waiting for all of us
Yeah, I believe one member of the Dev Team is in Los Angeles, CA (Where I’m from) Pretty sweet.
Hopefully they can get something to work with iPod Touch 2G, I mean, can’t somebody try to work on it?
There should be someone working on it, It would surprise me if no one is. The iPhone Dev Team should be on it once yellowsn0w is released and they fix whatever bug they may have to fix, if any.
WTF?…….HURRY ALREADY!!!!!
how much more time wil it take??
Who knows when the repo manager will wake up to fix the file permission error. I suspect not much longer.
I think a third update is in order now even if not ready yet, if just to let the people know what is going on and how much longer they have to wait, peopleeeeeeee, say something.
“ang tagal naman ma release. its New Year na!”
huhuhuh
