Dev Team just passed on the good news for those with a iPhone 3GS or waiting to buy/sell unlocked iPhone 3GS.
In less than a week from iPhone 3GS launch (has it just been a week?), they have been able to verify that an exploit used to jailbreak iPod Touch 2G, dubbed 24kpwn, is still applicable to the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS!
If you are familiar with jailbreaking iPhone 3G with redsn0w, the same technique could be used to jailbreak iPhone 3GS. The iPhone 3GS bootrom seems to have been cut in August 2008 timeframe so this exploit is still valid which is great news for us.
And another great news is that Ultrasn0w – the iPhone unlocking tool can be used as such to unlock iPhone 3GS without any modifications whatsoever!
That said, Dev Team says there are still challenging aspects of iPhone 3GS that needs to worked into their tools. With this coming in less than a week from launch, I am more than hopeful that we will be seeing Redsn0w for iPhone 3GS very soon.
Stay tuned for more updates on iPhone 3GS jailbreak and unlocking.
Excellent work, Dev Team!
