    Nope, but the Dev Team seems to have made loads of progress on it, they said they would release it after iOS4 has been released so hopefully not long now.

    Any word on a jailbreak for the 3GS on 4.0.1

    Guys. Have a 3GS that's stuck in a boot loop. It has previously been jailbroken at 3.1.3 but obviously when I conect to itunes to perform a restore, it is going to make me update to the latest 4.0.1 firmware. If i was to do this, would I be able to downgrade my firmware back to 3.1.3 because it has been jailbroken before?

    Thanks guys.

    You won't be able to go backwards. Try putting it in DFU Mode and restoring it back to 3.1.3 with the custom Firmware you used before.

    You can go back only if you saved the SHSH blobs in Cydia. Have you tried this to get it out of the boot loop?

    yep. Open Cydia and add a repository -> http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com using this you can unlock all currently known basebands.

    Help iPhone lOcked
    So I bought an iPhone from the USA 1 week ago it was unlocked using ultrasn0w. I accidentally remove the jailbreak and removed unlck I tried restoring the firmware to 3.1.3 but still the unlock doesn't to because it needs (iPhone) to be jailbroken before it can get unlocked.

    So I took it to some Chinese guy in town and he unlcked it for using his pc.
    Originally I wanted a hardware unlock but no one does it in town.

    After unlcking it he said you can update the firmware and you won't lose the unlck.

    When I got home I tried restoring the iPhone from my back up and I update iTunes to 9.2.1 along with the software. Then I thought i lost the unlock the phone still asked for a compatible sim card. I re jailbroke it again with reds0w and it work. And tried restoring from the back up which didn't work.

    After a while I noticed that I couldn't make any call or receive them.
    My iPhone bar is just one.

    Can this be fixed??

    I can't make out what you've actually done to the phone now :D

    I suggest that you restore the firmware, (you have saved the shsh blobs in Cydia right?), then jailbreak with Spirit and unlock with the information in the post above yours.

    :) You found that you can't jailbreak 4.0.1. You need to restore to an earlier version, I suggest 3.1.2 then using Blackra1n and Sn0wbreeze to move forward.

    If you go down to 3.1.3 you will need to use Spirit to Jailbreak, but you can't move forward from that version, you need to go right back to 3.1.2 to move to 4.0

    There are plenty of reports of issues with IOS4.0 so it might be worth just sticking at either 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 until there are more developments. Those versions are easier to jailbreak and unlock.

    Lads, I wouldn't be very tech savy. Looking at the OP and I just get a bit confused.

    So just a few questions: thanks :)

    If I buy an iPhone from the apple store do I need to unlock it at all or could I just put my Meteor simcard into it?

    Also, this jailbreak thing, what apps are offered through this which you can't get on the itunes app store?

    Thanks again lads.

    Has anyone done a Jailbreak/Unlock using Mac? If so, do you use the power button in the process?
    My power button isn't working, so wondering if it can be done on a friend's Mac!
    I've only ever done it on a PC, and you do need to use the Power button a few times, so rules it out for me!
    Thanks.

    It'l be as long as the guys doing it take, it's already been said that they wont release a JB which is half broken, stuff like Facetime isn't working properly yet for them so give them some time. I know, I'm frustrated too, its been what 5-6 weeks since iOS4 came out? You just gotta be patient with these things.
