By releasing PwnageTool 3.1.4 last month, the infamous iPhone Dev Team provided jailbreak support for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, out of the box. However, at the time, those relying on ultrasn0w to unlock their phones for use with an unsupported carrier would lose their ability to unlock employing the tool, should they perform the 3.1.2 firmware update with a stock IPSW download via iTunes.

“If you are using a iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G(S) with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new PwnageTool,” the Dev Team stressed last month. “There are no second chances with this. You need to remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer versions of the iPhone software in the future,” the hackers’ blog update said.

Now, the team of internationally-known iPhone OS hackers have released “an ultrasn0w update that fixes an issue for those running firmware 3.1.x with the 04.26 baseband,” according to their latest blog post. “That specific combination resulted in a missing carrier name in the upper left-hand corner of your home screen,” the team adds. “Today’s ultrasn0w update from 0.91 to 0.92 fixes that problem (which was an important issue for roaming). You should see the update available if you have http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com as a Cydia source.  Enjoy!”, the post ends.

As such, ultrasn0w now supports all iPhone models, hence the latest IPSW (iPhone firmware) update / restore files from Apple: “iPhone1,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw”; “iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw”; “iPhone2,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw”.
