[Warning] Don’t Get Locked Out Of Your iPhone!!!
As always, the Dev-Team has released the usual warning to 3G and 3G[S] owners regarding the imminent release of iPhone OS 3.1 update. Not to take notice of this would be a grave mistake for any iPhone owner. However, as always, owners of the iPhone 2G are quite safe as Apple stopped updating the baseband for the first model a while ago.
Once again they have warned that updating before they have got their hands on it to test the vulnerability, will disable the use of Ultrasnow for all 3G and 3G[S] unlockers, maybe even for good. This is what they have posted on their blog;
This week Apple will be all over the news with their announcements at Wednesday’s “Let’s Rock” event. But with so many new owners of the iPhone 3GS, and with so many new owners of the iPhone 3G (perhaps sold to them by these new 3GS owners)…now is a good time to send out this general advisory.
If you update to Apple’s new software using the normal iTunes process, you will lose your ultrasn0w unlock. In fact you may lose it permanently, because for most people the baseband firmware cannot be reverted to a previous version (unlike the main application CPU firmware).
But don’t worry…our PwnageTool program lets you update your main firmware without touching your baseband firmware, so you can still have the best of both worlds. But you must be diligent about saying “no” to your iTunes request this week to update your firmware.
The general consensus is that Apple will release the update tomorrow, in line with their “Let’s Rock” event, mainly centered around the unveiling of the new iPod Touch 3.
So remember, resist the urge to hit update, even when iTunes persistently pesters you over and over, JUST SAY NO!!!!!!
