It has finally happened! My newly granted iPhone 3G is able to make calls now!
Long story short, I have iPhone OS 3.1.3 and the modem version 05.12.01
Only few days ago it was not possible to unlock such an iPhone. It was only possible to jailbreak it and use it as an iPod. If you have the same versions of the OS and modem firmware it will take 10 minutes only to make your precious phone make it first call!
- You should have iTunes installed and its version should be below 9.2 (I have iTunes 9.1.1). You can search for the iTunes 9.1.x in Google – you’ll find plenty of results. If you have 9.2 Spirit won’t work but if your phone is jailbroken already you don’t need to worry
- If your iPhone is not jailbroken then download Spirit here. Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch Spirit. Press the single button and wait. If Spirit says the phone is jailbroken you should have Cydia app in the list of apps installed.
- Launch Cydia on your iPhone and install all updates it can find (it will prompt you for an update automatically if there is any). Then go to Manage->Sources->repo666.ultrasn0w.com and check the version of ultrasn0w – if it is 0.93 then press “Install”. When the process is finished the phone will reboot itself.
Ready! Now your iPhod can actually make calls!
The unlock should work for modem versions 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04.
And don’t forget to not update to iPhone OS 4 or you will get your iPod back again!
