You may wanna wait a couple of days until ultrasn0w is released. This is the unlocking program used for 3.0

Your phone is still unlocked but it's not activated which is why iTunes is freaking out. Wait until later this afternoon and the jailbreak for 3.0 will be released. Pay attention to the front page.

so even though you have unlocked 2G phone with 2.2.1, if you upgrade to 3.0, it won't activate it thru itune and making unsuable with other carriers?
So we have to wait for ultrasn0w to come out?

I'm getting 3GS (with ATT) and keeping my old 2G which I was using for my primary line to use for my second line and don't want to sign up another 2year, but I would like to get 3.0 on 2G phone.

No, as you can read in all Dev-Team blogs and Cydia, DO NOT update until an unlock for 3.0 comes out (ultrasn0w)

I have read that ultrasnow is only needed for unlocking 3G iPhones as the baseband is not being updated for the 2G iPhone anymore. However you will need the new version of Quickpwn to jailbreak and activate your 2G iPhone running 3.0.

I have an unlocked/jailbroken 2G iPhone running 2.2.1 and I want to update to 3.0 using iTunes. It is my understanding that if I do that I will lose the jailbreak and it wont activate. I still have an official o2 sim which I think I can use to activate then switch back to my preferred sim. Can anyone confirm or deny if this will work?

Nope, 2g is good to go. Here's a link that will help yoo

Hello there..
I have a iPhone 3G running firmware 2.2.1 which I believe was officially unlocked. I upgraded the firmware to version 3.0 from itunes and now my phone does not accept my SIM. Could someone advise the remedy to this ?

Thanks a million.

Usually I would tell you that the search feature is your friend. But in this case your answer is only a couple of posts above you. The only way to unlock 3.0 is by waiting until tomorrow and using ultrasn0w. Keep looking at the front page for updates.

Hi..thanks for the post...

I read that you can only use ultrasn0w on a jailbroke iphone. Mine is not...It currently says, "Emergency calls only" and I cannot go pass this screen to access any phone features.

Does ultrasn0w suit in this kind of a situation as well ?

Thanks for your time.

I(Fido in Canada) used Pwnagetool and was successful: UNLOCKED & JAILBROKEN but some functionality are missing like iTunes (does not display song available), no MMS, no Notification ( in Settings).

So wait eager funs! wait until they (Pwnagetool developer team) find out and fixed Pwnagetool. That is all I have to say for now. Bye for now and waiting game is not over yet!

Hope you dont mind me asking this guys but if someone has a locked 2g as above as a result of updating to 3.0,the advice has been to use ultrasnow to unlock it
But how can they get ultrasnow if its only on cydia which requires a working iphone ?
