Most of you must be itching to try out the new 3.0 OS for iPhone. But if you were holding it just because there was no pwnage available for it, then wait no further.

Jailbreak and Unlock for your iPhone 1gen ,2gen and iPhone 3G is out.

Ultrasn0w for iPhone 3G and redSn0w for other iPhone’s except iPhone 3Gs. Check out the Dev Team Blog and let the 3.0 OS glory begin .

As new iPhone 2.2.1 firmware was out, everyone was waiting for to update their jailbreaked iPhone’s to the latest firmware. And it didn’t take much time for the Dev Team to release the QuickPwn(windows) and Pwnage(Mac), which will jailbreak the 2.2.1 firmware.

This is the low down on our tools for use with the 2.2.1 firmare from Apple, read the whole post in full before attempting anything. Please note that the Windows version of QuickPwn has been updated to version 2.2.5-2

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone running 2.2 firmware and you want to keep your ability to use yellowns0w (or the option to use it in the future) do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
2. Yellowsn0w will NOT work with the baseband version (02.30.03) that is present in the recent 2.2.1 update. If you want to use Yellownsn0w you will need to create and restore using a custom .ipsw that will allow you to update safely to 2.2.1 without applying the 02.30.03 baseband update. You’ll then have a 3G iPhone running 2.2.1 with an older baseband version that is still vulnerable to yellowsn0w, following these steps ensures that yellowsn0w will still operate.
3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn.
6. These apps are suitable for the recent 2.2.1 release.
7. The Yellowsn0w version has been updated to 0.9.7. Yellowsn0w is available from Cydia or Installer – this version allows compatibility with pwned 2.2.1 system (not baseband). Again„ remember 0.9.7 yellowsn0w DOES NOT WORK WITH 2.2.1 (02.30.03) directly – you need to be running a ‘pwned’ version of 2.2.1 which didn’t upgrade the baseband during the restore/upgrade.
8. Users of OS X 10.5.6 will be unable to use DFU mode correctly, please see the note towards the end of this post to easily fix this issue.

So head out to the post by dev team and follow the steps given to update your iPhone.
