Keep up the great work :)
I was totally got no idea at the first half..
u guys are amazing
I'll have to wait till I get home.
Keep up the good work. We all support your efforts.
Thanks
keep it up
The Baseband processor checks what is in FLASH memory to see if it is digitally signed with Apple's key before it runs the radio code or loads the "Profile" from there. The radio code signed by Apple checks the Carrier is the same as what the Profile, also signed by Apple, requires.
This video shows that DevTeam is able to trick the Baseband processor into running their own code. It shows them running a bunch of things, including their own tool (not signed by Apple) showing the list of tasks the Nucleus OS which is what the Baseband runs. Much like a list of programs running on Darwin/Mac OS which runs on the iPhone's ARM processor (the one you actually interact with).
This means they "should" be able to figure out how to load code into the Baseband that doesn't check which Carrier the SIM card is for OR load a Profile that allows any SIM card. Either would be an "Unlock".
what is new.....an explanation would be highly appreciated!!!
Anyway, keep up the good work dev team....

"How far are You from the 3G unlock?"
greets und thanks a LOT dev team!
Go-Hard Dev-Team!
I understand this will help to unlock, but how "great" is this baseband tool in this view?
I have no idea?
Seguid asi, ya casi lo teneis xD
Thanks
Great Job and Thanks Dev-Team
The name of the song in end of the video.
Anyways, nice update. Best of luck with the newfound baseband exploit!
Explanation ppl!!
Kudos to Dev-Team :).
Gongratulaciones Dev-Team
but i'm still waiting for my ipod touch 2g jailbreak .....:D
how to unlock my 2.1 with this video?
Dev team you rule you're the best!!!!
What does it mean to the iPhone 3G unlock?
Greetings from Austria
Merci !!!!
go you good things
But whats a "Nucleus OS task list" for?
Greets
What does sec stand for?
null means "nothing".
/dev/null is like a blackhole, any files or folders put into /dev/null will be disappeared.
Blessing from whole world
-You can now execute/install your own (not in appstore available) software on iPhon 3G
(in the video you see "iPhone 3G via SSH", but OpenSSH Server isn't available for iPhone
(yet?) it can only be installed by something like installer.app or so)
greetings from Germany
KEEP UP THAT GOOD WORK GUYS!!!
go go go
greetz from austria
But what wants this to say? have you got the code for unlocking the 3g?
donations to /dev/null.
Very classy of you guys.
Вместо сроков два бредовых видео...
we are waiting for you!
Make a phone call!
Now it is a (very) expensive iPod ;-)
From The Netherlands: DevTeam you're almost there!!!
Still no word on when the unlock will be here?
Hope you will release the 3G Unlock fast!!!
Also, I am buying a iPod Touch 2G, as I know you will be working hard on the jailbreak right after you finish the unlock!
greets from germany
And yeah, greetings from Israel too!
People leave them a little space... Members of dev team are people too they want to live, not just work for your jailbreaks and unlocks, I gues....
Here is an explanation from: http://gizmodo.com/5068884/iphone-3g-baseband-b...
Get ready, because the iPhone 3G unlock is coming to an iPhone 3G near you. The iPhone Dev Team have been able to break in the baseband processor. As you may remember from the first-generation iPhone unlock, this is big news because it means they have access to the core of the system, which gives them the ability to fully manipulate the iPhone 3G hardware and, therefore, unlock it. They gave us all the technical details and posted a demo of it in action:
This is a video of a custom application running on the iPhone 3G baseband, which is big news.
Nucleus is the operating system that runs on the PMB8878 baseband processor, we are using minicom running on the iPhone to talk to the basband via AT commands, the AT command shown is a custom AT command that has been inserted into the PMB8878 that starts an application on the baseband, one of the things that this application does is to lists the tasks (processes) that are running within Nucleus.
Now it's just a matter of time before they come with the unlock and, at last, total carrier independence on compatible 3G networks.
Wish you the best from lebanon! GO DEV TEAM, DEV-TEAM!
greetings from Germany
Great work~~
Some of us are tech geeks, but have NO IDEA, how some of the carrier stuff works. You and all the dev team put up with us asking questions, and the answers are appreciated!
I may not be able to do what you do, but I love hearing the bits about how you do things and what it all means.
So keep "splainin' Lucy"! :-P
We love Sundays. We think you will too
iPod Touch jailbreak would be sweet. :)
Hope to be able to get my 3g out of the box at last within the next couple of days, cant wait for the unlock!
Keep it up.

Great job
Great Job.

I can't wait :p
Good bye, Good luck, Great Job.

Greetings from Greece
Amazing.
Thank you.
Greetings from Venezuela! :)
Thank you Guys!
Hopefully we can have the 2g Touch jailbreak real soon. Mine comes tomorrow :)
Regards from Warsaw
and now is comin' time 4 german iPhones :D
To all the iPod 2G owners I'd like to say: Be patient! Be grateful for the nice work, dev team has accomplished so far! Remeber: The time between the iPhone 3G release and the moment you watch this video is relatively short! Everytime I read your impatient comments I come to the conclusion, that you don't have the slightest idea, what it means to hack an electronic device...it's not like buying beer in the supermarket. Maybe you should start *using* the Internet and *learn* (yes, this has something to do with "reading" and *thinking* (as they call it...)
And always remember that dev team is doing it out of..em...fun...they are not here to your pleasure...if the result of their work is useful for you: congratulations! If not: congratulations! You have a nice iPod anyway, where you don't have to worry about things like cruel contracts and free carrier choice and the like. And btw: nobody told you to buy an iPod 2G right now (especially no one from dev team)...
And for christs sake: Show some respect! Or learn hacking by yourself and contribute to the issue with your knowledge and stop your discouraging behaviour!
So: Hold your fire and have a little faith in the dev team!
Thanks for reading.
Greatest respect goes to the dev team, of course! You Guys are just marvelous!!!
Greetings,
Kampfschaf
Anyways, you guys are superheroes.

tell them again man.

Go on with Unlocking the Iphone 3g!
You guys rock!
And dev team..congratulations!!!!
Any news on iPod Touch 2G?
Or maybe...dev team hates the iPod 2G... ;)
who knows, who knows?
:3
and how much do you think its gonna cost
Dev team rullez!! i hope the unlock 'll je avalible soon. GL Dev team !!
p.s. sry for my english
Belgium as well has unlocked version (obliged by law) so every sim card gives you the posibility to call even prepaid. The only thing left to do is jailbreaking...
Belgium price: 525 € for 8G and 620 € for 16 G or take a look at: www.ebay.be
;-)
good luck!
i am interested in helping on the technical side.
i am a realtime software engineer.
So far, they are "only" able to run unsigned (meaning not approved by Apple) on the baseband, which is a huge step toward the unlock.
using a patched Itunes..
You rock !!! Thanks !!!
If you're referring the old iphone, it took 4-5 months since its release until it was unlocked.
so heres a question that i have
i have an iphone that i use in japan but i spend about half of my year in the US.
i want to unlock it to use in the US with a t-mobile prepaid card.
can i do this? does it matter that it is a japanese iphone or that the SIM is prepaid?
thanks
... and i'm coming too... ohhh =}
i am watching with interest even tho i have a first gen phone ..
I travel a lot and have three non-US SIMs - Russian, and two German. This is why I ask. I am hoping that, with an unlocked phone, once it's been activated, I can swap out the (legitimate) SIMs whenever I want with no further problem.
Can anyone help me? Amazing that such simple information is so hard to come by. A "Genius Bar" guy at an Apple store had no idea....
Thanks!
Devices unlocked using a software unlock such as PwnageTool or QuickPwn in the future will however just allow any SIM to be inserted and used without configuration or activation.
I live in Sweden and i had to provide a credit card number which is kind of strange but not a problem really :)
If you ever re-flash then you need to activate again. if you already have a iTunes account then its simple, you just login :)
Once activated you can use whatever sim card you like (if your phone is unlocked as you say!).
I live in Belgium, and we only have unlocked Iphones (by law) over here, I paid it 525 €, but no problems with other sim cards, all providers do work, from wherever in the world ( I introduced already: Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, US). Problem: the price of the Iphone, but if you let your company pay for it... ;-) Just ask you boss.. or just watch out: www.ebay.be
I wish you good luck
I understand that the iPod Touch 2g is behind the iPhone 3g, but once this get's entirely Unlocked, it's just a mater of time for the iPod Touch 2g.
I'm not telling you to rush, just showing my support and gratitude. I'd donate to you all if I could, but you guys have to be dicks and not let us. (:P Just kidding. You guys are amazing for not accepting money from people.)
Anyway, yeah. Just dropping in. I check once or twice a week, so keep up the awesome work, guys. :D Make all of us proud like I know you will.
... and not for once-in-a-year but twice-in-a-week, even once-in-a-day.
aren't you a D3V T34M believer?!
And of course I'm a dev team believer. :P
I personally think jailbreaking it is more important than the iPhone 3G unlock. The next generation of iPhone will almost certainly be based on the iPod touch's new chip. Losing jailbreak would be MUCH worse than losing unlock. Jailbreak is what really unleashes the real power of these devices.
DEVTEAMISM
All praise dev team
Great work DevTeam and good luck on your mission...
:-)
:D
Damn good efforts, you can't be that far away from an unlock now, you must have broken the chain of trust to get that app executing on the baseband processor. Nice work, wish I knew how you did it ;-)
Oh yeah, and Boards of Canada absolutely rock. Nice taste in music too.
Well done guys Thank you for all your effort and hard work!!
Regards
Gufufu
Does anybody know the title of the Sound (Artist: Boards of Canada) in the video?
Thanks
iday.ca
Don't hold your breath - It would be VERY difficult, and will likely never happen even if the radio chip is capable.
So could you plz get stared on the iPod Touch 2G Jailbreak?!?!?!?
There are ways to downgrade from certain baseband versions, but we haven't tested all versions and that's sort of a secondary issue right now.
i see a Christmas present already in the way
;D
Great work Dev Team, you just ROCK and make it worthy yo go on internet these days
ZOuhair
TIA

Anyway, RockOn, great work and many greetings from germany...

An chinese mainland iphone question....
Good work

People soft modded the 3G iPhone to model number - MB046LL .
What news? :(
Anyway I've been looking forward to an unlock of 3g for that reason and have been trying to find older iphones with no luck (except for some available from scam artists who talk like they won't ship them anyway :( .).
Even if it won't work on CredoMobile carriers, I still love the iPhone hacks. I refuse though to use AT&T until I can jerk off to the phone sex that they tape and record- or Verizon for that matter.
Meanwhile here is an awesome wiki which is cool. Congrats on all your endeavors! Cheers to knowledge and experience!
