The official ultrasn0w unlock has been released by iPhone Dev Team for iPhone 3GS, with older bootrom running 04.26.08 baseband on iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4). For those of you who preserved their baseband by jailbreaking iPhone 3GS on iOS 4 using PwnageTool can now unlock, provided that your phone is running the older 04.26.08 baseband.
Note: As mentioned above, this is strictly for iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0, with 04.26.08 baseband only. If you are on 05.11.07 baseband, then you need to use blacksn0w RC2, the guide for which is posted here. If you are on 05.12.01 baseband, you will need to wait for the end of June to get your phone unlocked.
