There are people who love technology and then there are people who love it so much that they can’t help but tweak and play and break and fix anything they get their hands on. I’m in that second group. After enjoying a fun night out with friends last night and a movie and lunch today, I got online to find that the jailbreak software for the iPhone 3G S had been released. I quickly downloaded it and after a couple small pitfalls, I now have a jailbroken and unlocked iPhone 3G S. Just check out these steps and the video right below them.

Here’s the basic steps required, but read the notes below before you begin:
1. Back up your iPhone!
2. Download purplera1n.
3. Run purplera1n.
4. Run Freeze.
5. Reboot.
6. Open Cydia and add the repo666.ultrasn0w.com source.
7. Install ultrasn0w.

Note 1: Freeze will say it’s done, but just sit there. You should close Freeze and reboot your iPhone to see Cydia.

Note 2: If you tried with vista and get stuck at “wait for reboot”, don’t worry. Just unplug your phone and hold down the power and home buttons at the same time for a few seconds. This will turn it off. Then plug it back in with iTunes open. iTunes will then ask you to restore your iPhone to factory settings. Let it do that and make sure it is installing 3.0, not 3.1. Next, restore from your backup. If you didn’t make a back, consider it a lesson learned. Always make a backup before stuff like this. Once it’s all restored, try again in compatibility mode.
