Prerequisites:

  1. You must have a jailbroken iPhone 3G or 3GS. We trust that you may have already done this either with Limera1n or Greenpois0n.
  2. You must have a working and stable WiFi connection on your iPhone.

Carrier Unlock Steps:

Before you start, please remove the SIM card from your iPhone.

Step 1: Launch Cydia from the springboard.

Step 2: Tap on Manage.

Step 3: Search for ultrasn0w on Packages in Cydia. If you cannot find it, add new Sources by typing: repo666.ultrasn0w.com.

Step 4: A new ultrasnow package will be installed. Once done, go to Packages and look for ultrasnow. Tap and install it. During installation, you will see a black screen with running command lines.

Step 5: Reboot your iPhone and insert your SIM card. Toggle the Airplane mode to ON and then OFF. Your iPhone will search and register to your mobile phone network. Please be patient, sometimes it may take up to 3 minutes.

Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked your iPhone. If you encounter any issue, please leave your comments below.

Comments & Discussion

  1. Your baseband needs to be updated to 6.15.00 in order for the new ultrasn0w to work. See instructions on the main page.

  2. I did install the new ultrasnow today, but after searching no network found. pls help! i have 3g with 3.1.3 fw and 5.14.02 bb. THANKS!

  3. Cant believe NO ONE with iphone with bb 5.14.02 can unlock. The socalled 'experts' suggests to update bb to 06.15, then unlock. The problem is when people tries to upgrade to 06.15, the process STOPS along the way. Just false hopes imo. Unbelievable.
    Props to Apple in a way for making 05.14.02 unlockable forever. *sigh*
