iPhone hacker genius, Geohot has once again outsmarted the Dev Team! First he launched his own iPhone 3GS jailbreaking software dubbed purplera1n, which I must admit is better and easier to use than the iPhone Dev Team’s redsn0w software. He has now released his own iPhone 3G/3GS unlock software dubbed purple sn0w. purple sn0w is a better alternative to the iPhone Dev Team’s ultrasn0w unlocking software.
purplesn0w is still in beta, so don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t work well for you right now. Geohot and his team have definitely spent a lot of time making this software unlock and you can’t expect them to fix all the problems with just one release. Just try the purplesn0w software right now, and leave your feedback in the comments. This will help Geohot improve it!
Who should be using purplesn0w? Only users that have a jailbroken iPhone 3gS and want to unlock their iPhone 3G S to use it with another carrier (T-Mobile only in the US). purple sn0w is very easy to install, go to how to install purplesn0w for details.
It’ll be interesting to see what the Dev Team thinks of this. I’m just glad that we don’t need to just rely on one team for our jailbreaks/unlocks.
