Default Unlock or Jailbreak iPhone 3G OS 3

Now that iPhone OS 3 is here, I am sure you're waiting to unlock or jailbreak it. Well, dev team is quick enough to release the PwnageTool to unlock the first generation iPhone and jailbreak iPhone 3G. So here it is, just follow the instructions and you'll unlock/jailbreak your iPhone in no time.

Remember only first generation iPhone will be unlocked by this. You can only jailbreak iPhone 3G at this stage. So if you're using a different SIM card than your provider then you will be able to use your phone if you jailbreak it now.
  1. Download iTunes 8.2 and upgrade if you haven’t already
  2. Download the PwnageTool 3 from here
  3. Download the OS 3 IPSW
  4. Make sure both PwnageTool and Restored IPSW is in the same folder
  5. Run the PwnageTool.app click on Expert Mode from the top menu
  6. Then select your iPhone type and click the next arrow at the bottom right
  7. The PwnageTool will find the Restored IPSW
  8. Select it and click the next arrow at the bottom right
  9. On the next page, select “General” and click the next arrow at the bottom right
  10. Untick “Activate the Phone” and leave the rest as it is and click the next arrow at the bottom right
  11. Keep clicking next until you see two images
  12. Once you see the images, untick both of them - Boot Logo & Recovery Logo and click the next arrow
  13. This will bring you back to the home screen
  14. Select “Build” and click next arrow
  15. This will ask you to select a location to create the Custom Restore IPSW file (iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Custom_Restore.ipsw)
  16. Save it on the same location (you can save this file anywhere you want)
  17. This will take a few minutes to create the Custom IPSW file
  18. Once created please follow the instruction on the screen to put your iPhone on DFU Mode
  19. Once the iPhone is on DFU mode, iTune will automatically open up and will be ready to restore your iPhone
  20. Press alt/option and click on restore at the same time to select the custom IPSW you’ve just created
  21. And you’re done
  22. And finally Sync with your iTune to get all your data from the backup
