[/img]Can't wait another minute for your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to be
carrier-unlocked once more? If and only if you're already running the
latest firmware, you can actually pilfer a bit of iPad code to pick
the requisite locks -- though there are some serious risks in doing
so. The iPhone Dev Team has a new version of PwnageTool that uses the
6.15.00 baseband from iPad firmware 3.2.2, which just so happens to
run perfectly on the iPhone 3G and 3GS since both phones and tablets
of that era use the same Infineon radio chip. If you know your way
around an IPSW and regularly bench-press SHSH blobs, you can download
all the software you need right now -- but if you don't, you might
want to steer clear of the proceedings for the time being. We spoke
about risks a moment ago, and in this case there are quite a few --
like the inability to downgrade from baseband 6.15 or ever do a full
restore unless Apple relations improve, and it's fairly likely that
Cupertino won't look kindly on your warranty if they find you running
iPad software. Them's the breaks, kid.
