Extract the QuickPwn22.zip file to the Pwnage folder.


Step Two
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.


Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down shift and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPhone.


Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the 2.2 firmware ipsw. Click the Open button to continue.

Once its in recovery mode you will be prompted to: Hold the Home button for 5 seconds, Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then release the Power button and continuing holding the Home button until your iPhone is in DFU mode.

Watch the prompts carefully and follow along.

Now We Will Unlock Your Jailbreaked 3G 2.2 iPhone

[FOR WINDOWS USERS]

These are instructions on how to software unlock the iPhone 3G for use with any GSM cellphone carrier.


Before you can follow these instructions you must have a jailbroken iPhone and you must be on the 02.28.00 baseband(modem firmware). This means that you must be running the 2.2 firmware. If you used PwnageTool to update to 2.2 from 2.1 you will have to rejailbreak using a QuickPwn jailbreak tutorial for the time being.

No PIN support yet. Well we’re still working out the flow for SIMs with PINs enabled. Please disable any PIN you may have on that SIM before trying yellowsn0w, for now..
Step One
Press to launch Cydia Installer from your SpringBoard.


Step Two
Press to select the Manage tab at the bottom of the screen.


Step Three
Press to select the large Sources button


Step Four
Press the Edit button at the top right of the screen.


Step Five
Press the Add button at the top left of the screen.


Step Six
Enter yellowsn0w.com as the source url and press the Add Source button.


Step Seven
Once the source has been added press the large Return to Cydia button.


Step Eight
Press the Done button at the top right of the screen.


Step Nine
Press to select apt9.yellowsn0w.com from the list of user entered sources.


Step Ten
Press to select yellowsn0w from the list of packages


Step Eleven
Press the Install button at the top right of the screen.


Step Twelve
Press the Confirm button at the top right of the screen.


Step Thirteen
After installation completes successfully press the large Return to Cydia button.


Step Fourteen
Now press the Home button then power off and power on the iPhone. You do this by holding down the power button for 3 seconds then moving the power slider that appears to the right. Press the power button again to turn on the phone.




Step Fifteen
You should now be able to insert the SIM of your choice!

***HINTS: It seems that getting your iPhone to pick up your new carrier can be helped by turning off 3G and perhaps toggling the Airplane Mode switch on and off. If you are still having problems try removing and reinserting the SIM or booting with the new SIM already inside.

***NOTE: There is a known issue with SIM cards that have STK (SIM Toolkit) application menus. These menus are usually items such as “top up” “get credit” “lotto numbers” etc. These menu items confuse the application sometimes. Removing and reinserting the SIM once after reboot (give it about 10 secs after you see the slide to unlock widget) fixes this issue.

***UPDATES:
1. Soon you’ll see yellowsn0w 0.9.1 in the repos. It uses a much longer delay to let your SIM card initialize. If you have problems with 0.9.0, try this one and wait a full minute after you see homescreen, then reinsert sim card.
2. If you are in the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G switch in Settings.

Guys this video works everytime for me, Settings reset everytime I restart the phone, but with my US Tmobile, it is great, I would reccomend on the end when 4 dots come up, be patient give it 2-3 mins minimum in a area where you should have mobile service.

Hey, welcome to MMi.
Depending on which bootloader, you may have to use a turbo sim.

YellowSn0w only works with BB 2.28.00
Download FuzzyBB Downgrader from Cydia to see if you can downgrade. If you can't your only hope is a piggyback SIM until FW 3.0 is released and hopefully unlocked.

i have used a peggyback sim called smart something and i cant seem to get a strong signal in my home, it keeps searching for the network i am using t-mobile. do i need to change my sim card?

If you have 5.09 your only option is a piggyback SIM.
None are perfect. You could try a different one. The Gevey II has had some good reports on t-mob in the USA. I would avoid Rebel.
