Today is too lucky for everyone in the iPhone 3G and 3GS community as it's both blacksn0w and blackra1n day. GeoHot released the blacksn0w, the first ever unlock solution for iPhone 3G and 3GS with latest iPhone OS 3.1.2 with baseband 05.11.07, for free. The bonus news is that blacksn0w enables official tethering. Too lucky! Isn't? And you can un-tether from AT&T and Apple's shackle, finally. Also he released blackra1n, a jailbreak for 3.1.2. It has been updated to RC3 with hacktivation support, 15 second speed improvement, Tiger+PPC support, and installation of the latest blackra1n.app

Here is the relief for the iPhone and iPod touch owners (just like me) who accidentally updated the iPhone OS 3.1.2 with baseband 05.11.07 and want to unlock the iPhone. GeoHot, one among the very few iPhone hackers who can jailbreak and unlock iPhone, is readying for the release of blacksn0w on 11/04/2009. Blacksn0w will be the first and only one unlock solution for the Apple's latest iPhone OS version 3.1.2 with baseband 05.11.07. Though the Dev-Team continues to work on a carrier unlock for the latest basebands, as per them, "the timeframe for such an unlock is unknowable."
