If you read the comments left by the dev team in the posts on their blog, you will see a post which states that the 3G iPhone development work is a seperate stream to the work going on with pwnage2.0 although the 2 will come together at some point (next tool after 2.0?)
No, the two seperate streams (WITHIN Pwnage 2.0) he is referring to is

1, iphone 2g jailbreaking and unlocking
2, iphone 3g jailbreaking (and possibly unlocking)

iphone 3g "development" is still in pwnage 2.0, but as a seperate stream than 2g. but still pwnage 2.0

follow?

new work he is talking about is from the video of them getting into the 'iBoot' of the 3G iPhone, which would be a little away from actually unlocking it - but it's a way in
Of course it is a way in since there is no unlock without jailbreaking, BUT the unlocking of 3G is like they said in another post, a different challenge. I do, however, believe that they are working on 3G unlock to be included in pwnage 2.0.

follow?
 
Time will see there....(How can the 2.0 tool be in final testing and only just starting to work on the 3G iPhone?) follow?

and I never said it would be easy to unlock 3G iPhone, I mealy stated that 'stage 1' has been cracked by getting in the handset.
 
a iphone 3g running 2.0 firmware being jailbroken would be great!!
the ability to have app store and installer/cydia ..... XD :D :)
 
Note: in the image from the first post, only iPhone 2Gs are shown, hence the lack of the App store icon etc. So if this isn't a hoax, it's likely a 2G iPhone 2.0 unlock.
 
do u think that yiphone.org and ihazsupper.com are hacking competitors? because they both have countowns... are they both coming out with a jailbreak/unlock program or what? and yiphone.org is not working in my safari browser... might be working on something for us.. :D

yiphone is Geohotz site

ihazsupper is Devteam.

Look in the earlier posts in the thread and you'll understad why.
 
I would be happy with just the SIM unlock!!!

Exactly, I wish they would stop with these shenanigans and release the software or stop toying with people. The picture was amusing at best, soon is not an answer, if they can give at least an ETA on how long before they release something, by the end of the week would even suffice. Soon could be the end of the month or next month even. Hopefully someone releases something soon, I just want the applications and the ability to upgrade my 1G iPhone to the 2.0 software. True enough no one wants a sh**ty defective product but can we at least get a beta or SOMETHING instead of videos and pictures.

I see they're trying to look out for the non-tech savvy crowd and come up with designing a interface to make it as painless as possible, but they've been working on this for months and reporting that they've hacked each beta build that has come out. My whole gripe or issue about this situation is most of us will never even open this program again, as a matter of fact, when I unlocked my phone the first time I deleted the program when I was done, I didn't care how the hell it looked just wanted to use my phone. We waited patiently for Apple, now we're trying to wait *patiently* for the dev team, and I do applaud their efforts and what they're trying to accomplish, but at the end of the day, people just want a SIMPLE, EASY, EFFECTIVE solution to unlocking their iPhone. Not some beautified software, people will still try to sell it to unknowing individuals whether they like it or not, that's just the way people are and it does NOT matter how beautiful or simple their program is, the fact is; if someone comes out with it first, I guarantee you the majority of people who hear about it will rather pay someone than wait on the dev team to release PWNAGE 2.0.

This is 2008, we want things NOW, not "soon". I don't see what's so hard about doing two versions, one for people that just want their phones unlocked and one for people that will probably use the software more than once. This isn't photoshop or a productivity application, it's a friggin' unlock tool.

this is what happened with previous releases, people got impatient and dev team members bailed and released it on their own and many, many phones got "bricked"

you need to relax, i'd much rather wait a week and have a solid piece of software then have them rush it out because of people like you crying on the internet because they don't have installer on their 2.0 2G
 
I understand you'd like it now, but I'd much rather it be released fully funcational in a week. I need a working unlocked phone, not a brick with 2.0 somewhere burried in its bits. Paitence will prevail.
 
@kickpush,

Bricked phone now or non-bricked working iphone "soon"?

Its for your own best to not be able to choose.
 
I think alot of people want the tool now because they have put their 3g iphones on ebay:D

for disgusting prices

I suspect it's the case as well. Makes you wonder how they'll get around the whole 2-year contract issue unless they purchase another iPhone...
 
I don't do math well. :) It's my understanding the release is anticipated for 12 noon Eastern? Just wanted to confirm. Oh this is fun.

I just want to Jailbreak my 3g. Need my pretty backgrounds and ditching the AT&T logo for my name.

My concern is will the apps (and even installer) work. I recall going from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 a nightmare with setting permissions or waiting for the apps to be tweaked to work. That's my fear. Jailbreaking but not able to use the apps. Wondering if anyone has thoughts on that.

Yea, 12 EDT. 4 PM UTC.

I could see that issue occurring but I could also see developers working on their apps for quite a while because they had the SDK.

Nowhere in my post did I say I wanted something rushed, if they have it and it's functioning properly, from my understanding they are more concerned about the interface and people trying to sell their software for profit. My point is people are going to do this anyway and I do not care about the interface or how beautiful the program looks, because I will NOT use it more than once.

I've been following this community since last year, so do not say "people like me", I am completely aware of the situation and the dev team's responses to everyone's gripe, I'm sharing my opinion. The whole bricked iPhone's argument is old, of course you run that risk if you install ANY unauthorized "hacks" to a phone, so your point is invalid.

I do not care about installer, I only use about .05% of the applications in installer, I want the functionality of firmware 2.0 as well as the apps and games that have been released.

I respect them and what they are trying to accomplish, I'm willing to wait - really don't have a choice, but at the same time, all this back and forth is getting really childish.
