I unlocked it (3G not 3Gs) using ultrasn0w and Only becuase I may sell it and thought I would get more money for it or at least be easier to sell.

I sold my non-jbed/locked white 16 gig 3g for $340 on craigslist with in 30 minutes of posting it. I got 11 emails, 9 text messages and 2 phone calls before i pulled the ad. If i had a dozen of them I could have sold them all! I wouldn't over think it, just get it listed. I offered to JB/Unlock for an extra $20, but because there was a small crack in the cover, the buyer opted not to and went straight to the apple store to get it replaced.

If you are a legit ATT user, there is no reason at all to unlock the phone. The only reason to unlock is to use the iPhone on a different carrier (such at TMobile, Orange, etc). If your phone is unlocked, and you are a legit ATT user, you may run into difficulties with such things as visual voice mail.

Frankly, the only advantage of an unlocked phone is the ability to use it on a network other than what it was locked on.

I unlocked my first gen iPhone when I sold it to a guy in Ireland. I did not unlock my iPhone3G when I sold it, because the user was already an ATT customer, and would be using the 3G on ATT. And, with my current 3GS, I have done a jailbreak, but not an unlock, since I am using ATT. I would only unlock it if I was going to use it overseas. And, even then, in order to use it overseas, I would still have to get a different sim card for the carrier there.

I wasn't thinking and just upgraded to 3.01.... will the PurpleRa1n jailbreak still work?

I ended up finding some very easy instructions and did the redsnow jailbreak....worked very well.

I have no idea....I did a Google Search and found them. I just tried again and can't find the link.... I think I used keywords of 3.01 jailbreak redsn0w.

I broke down and bought 3GS, just had to have the latest device. I'm running purplera1n, it puts the phone in recovery mode and just sits there, says Done! wait..... No instructions anywhere? Has anybody else experienced this?

Maybe I should try Redsn0w?

purplera1n does not work on 3.0.1, if that is what your iPhone came with. You must use redsn0w

That was it, i did use redsn0w, all better now. Thanks!

not having any luck with redsnow. keeps saying waiting to reboot. i've searched further into the iPhone blog and he does recognize the problem but simply says unplug and replug the cord and it should work....it doesnt.

well i figured out what the problem was....my phone doesnt want to reboot itself. which explains the no go on the unplug and plug back in fix, still no go on the j/bing



Update: disregard.....im a complete iPhone nub. I downloaded the ipsw for my old 2g iPhone that i was testing the jailbreak process with (worked perfectly btw) and i was still using it for my 3GS....yea im a tool
