How to jailbreak iphone 2g or 3g(mac)

iPhone’s older baseband firmware.

The iPhone’s baseband firmware lies at the heart of the battle for a viable iPhone 3G software unlock solution. The iPhone Dev Team is working hard to discover an iPhone 3G soft-unlock solution, but be warned - you must update to iPhone 2.2 OS using PwnageTool if you ever plan to unlock your iPhone 3G. Of course, if you have and original iPhone, don’t care about unlocking your iPhone 3G, or have a Windows machine and don’t care about unlocking your iPhone 3G, you can easily jailbreak iPhone 2.2 OS using QuickPWN.

[Update]
Please note that PwnageTool is a Mac-only utility. PwnageTool 2.2 will jailbreak your iPhone and iPhone 3G to whatever iPhone OS version you choose.


New MacBook and MacBook Pros are reportedly blocking first-time jailbreak attempts, but should work fine with already-jailbroken iPhones.
