Now that we have a jailbreak (developers only) for iPhone OS 4 Beta, and an upgraded version of Fuzzyband (Baseband downgrader). Technically, iPhone 3G can now be unlocked on the latest iPhone OS 4 Beta, provided that you have one of those rare iPhone 3G’s with 05.08 bootloader that is downgradable to 05.13.03 baseband of OS 4 to 04.26.08 so that ultrasn0w can unlock it.
Fuzzyband has been upgraded to support the latest baseband 05.13.03 in iPhone OS 4.0 Beta. The following instructions will only help downgrade iPhone 3G which is currently on iPhone OS 4 Beta with 05.13.03 baseband and older bootloader 05.08. This wont work with iPhone 3GS.
