iPhone OS 4.0 Beta Unlock : BlackSn0w ported

The title says it all.

It’s amazing how the amount of effort is being put into the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta releases by the Dev-team.

Not only do we have jailbreak tools for iPhone OS 4.0 Beta, but now we have the ability to unlock 4.0 on the iPhone 3GS. While these tools and the beta are not practical at this moment, it’s great news for developers that are stuck with the beta and need to be unlocked.

Blacksn0w ported to 4.0 on a 3GS by msft.guy

Msft.guy has released a video demonstrating the unlock and how he managed to port Blacksn0w to be compatible with the new beta operating system. He also provided instructions on how to do this yourself. The video itself is only a proof of concept, and here’s why. There are still plenty of bugs involved so staying unlocked will not be an easy job. Each time you reboot your device, you will need to re-apply the patched files.

It’s recommended that you don’t play with the 4.0 betas unless you’re a developer. We strongly suggest you stay away from any unlocking tools until the iPhone Dev-Team releases their official unlock which isn’t far away, as the new 4.0 should be available shortly after WWDC.
