iPhone OS 3.0 Unlock Warning
Tomorrow is the start of WWDC and there are some people out there who truly believe Apple will official release the iPhone OS 3.0 software very soon. Whether or not it is released this week or within the next month, don’t be so quick to pull the trigger on the upgrade button within iTunes if you are planning on unlocking your device. If you choose to update there is a high possibility that you will lose your option to unlock in the future. Don’t want to listen to us, ok, will you take the Dev-Teams word for it?
you all paid lots of money for your iPhones, and so we know that if you are depending on a software unlock, this is a sensitive issue. It’s a very sensitive issue to us too, which is why we can’t say or release anything prematurely that could potentially compromise any 3.0 software unlock.
In other words, don’t do anything until the Dev-Team releases any official unlock for the 3.0 software. Also something to keep in mind, which we’ve warned you about in the past, don’t be fooled these fake wanna be Dev-Team websites that are out there.
We’re used to (though still aren’t happy about) less predatory websites, like quickpwn.com. That site (1) is not us. We don’t consult with them in any way (2) makes money from their Google hits (they’re usually near the top) (3) sometimes gives very very bad advice (like tweeting yellowsn0w users to use QuickPwn on 3.0 betas. Bad suggestion). (4) also owns yellowsn0w.net, another money making website.
For more information, be sure to check out the official Dev-Team blog. So there you have it folks, be careful out there.

I’m currently using a Turbo SIM to use my iPhone 3G w/ fw 2.2.1 on T-Mobile. Will this Turbo SIM also work with 3.0 anyone know? I see they are already selling iPhone 2009 Turbo SIMs on NYC craigslist.

I read their message as we aren’t going to release details of 3.0 unlock so apple don’t find out andclose the hole.

@Ben Gillam true i also understood that after reading their update, i sure do hope they release it soon and find a fix for the DFU problem on current iTunes.

Interesting that T-Mobile’s new site is for the 3g. Isn’t there supposed to be new hardware?
I’m going to laugh if this iPhoneVid rumor remains a rumor.

Calm down guys, tech probably work as support in one of the European countries where T-Mobile is the official iPhone provider and therefore he is right. the world does not end with ATT at the shores on NY, after you cross the Atlantic there is still civilization out there..

I used a TurboSim in my Iphone 3G, but when I upgraded to 3.0, my TurboSim didn’t work any more. I finally had to buy some software to unlock it myself.

To Mike (commment #22), You just need to turn on airplane mode and then connect the Iphone to you computer and open iTunes. It will then recognize it and you can sync normally. Just be sure to remain on airplane mode while connected. And, to everyone using Turbo Sim and wants to update to 3.0… it’s not official and I haven’t try it myself but, according to some blogs and it sounds logic to me, you just need to remove the Turbo Sim, insert the original AT&T sim (which iTunes recognizes and syncs normally), updte to 3.0, turn off, remove AT&T sim, put Turbo Sim w/ sim you want to use, turn it on and it should work perfectly fine.
