GeoHot released blackra1n RC2 recently to Jailbreak and unlock iPhone OS 3.1.2 for iPhone 3G and 3Gs and now he will be releasing Blacksn0w soon to unlock iPhone 3.1.2 with baseband 05.11.07.
Looks like GeoHot has been able to find the exploit in the iPhone 3.1.2. OS which he was trying to find out for a while now, good news? well definitely it is!
So what does the image above mean? well it means that we will soon be having Blacksn0w available to us to download and then use to unlock and jailbreak our iPhones (2G, 3G, 3Gs) with iPhone OS firmware version 3.1.2.
So after I jailbreak/unlock my iphone 3gs and put a warid sim card in it, will it work the same as it does in the US in pakistan? (all aps, email, text, etc)
yes it will work. But only if you follow the process correctly and don’t update it with itunes. If you are not comfortable with the process then get the services of some professional or some one who have done it before.
I am personally using an unlocked and jailbroken iPhone 3G with all apps and features (and yes, on warid sim)
thanks- good to know. But when I return to the US can I reverse the unlock/jailbreak so that I can update with itunes and get new apps, etc?
Also do you know a professional in karachi who can set up the phone?
to reverse the unlock/jailbreak, simply update your iPhone with the latest version of the firmware with iTunes, and this will replace the jailbroken OS with original one
Other than that, most people who jailbreak, also know how to unjailbreak (if they really know what they are doing), so you can use their services for the same purpose.
btw, if you want to spend some money in it, then you can get factory unlocked iphone from apple too to make it work with any sim in the world, but this will be only unlocked one, not jailbroken.
