How to unlock your iPhone 3G running OS 3.0 with ultrasn0w

The wait is over. If you own an Apple iPhone 3G, you can now do a software unlock for free. The iPhone Dev team has released ultrasn0w, which will allow you a more or less painless unlock experience.

Here’s how to do it in 7 easy steps:

1. Upgrade to iPhone OS 3.0 using iTunes
2. Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool (this will also install Cydia/Icy)
3. Run Cydia or Icy
4. Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy
5. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in Cydia or Icy. Install ultrasn0w
6. Reboot your iPhone 3G
7. That’s it — Enjoy!

Note : T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w. If you have an iPhone 3GS (or iPhone 3G S, whatever Apple calls it now), you’ll still have to wait a while.
