@g3n0c|d3,
Unfortunately at this point, NO one can confirm the AU iPhone 3GS are officially unlocked, useable with foreign sims! *siGh* Apparently the phones needs to be activated through iTunes before it can be tested *ugh*

During the US launched it took them 48hrs to activate. I wonder will Aus case the same? |

I'm officially closing the Italian Job. Nokia has confirmed that his Maxis simcard works with the 3G[S], and kwekeugene confirmed his DiGi sim works as well. My unit diverted to Nokia/Tink arrangement, and Harmeet managed to get his as well. Things fall nicely into place.  |

24Kpwn lives on, in the iPhone 3GS! QUOTE
About 5 hours ago (Thursday evening, less than a week after the 3GS launch), we were able to verify that the 24Kpwn exploit that the hybrid team used on the iPod Touch 2G is still present in the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS. That means we can apply the same sort of technique used by our current redsn0w tool to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS.
This is great news, but how did it happen? Why didn’t Apple fix this in their normal cat&mouse fashion? Well it seems this bootrom was cut in about the August 2008 timeframe, so the unintended early reveal of 24Kpwn earlier this year didn’t affect the iPhone 3GS.
For our technical notes on where the 24Kpwn exploit is in the 3GS, see here (pastebin hash of it is here). Our original blog post for when this exploit was first found is here.
And yes, ultrasn0w will be able to be used on the iPhone 3GS for you unlockers!
Important: Apple has not given up on the cat&mouse game, and in fact there are challenging aspects of the 3GS jailbreak that aren’t in the other devices. It’ll take some time to safely work these into our tools, but the fundamental weaknesses are there: The bootrom is exploitable via 24Kpwn, and the baseband is exploitable via ultrasn0w. (And just like with the 3G, ultrasn0w for 3GS requires that you not update your baseband when Apple comes out with new firmware.)
jb is cming for 3gs... |
