    No it only jailbreaks. It does not look good for unlocking 3.1.x so far

      Odds are, you are very, very screwed and either have an expensive iPod Touch on your hands or you need to get an AT&T contract. Unless you used the Pwnange tools to make a custom firmware file that preserved a hackable baseband file. The warnings about losing your carrier unlock when upgrading to 3.2 are everywhere!

        the RC1 did not JB the phone which is a 16gb iPhone 3G. But the RC2 did in a matter of seconds. Everything has been done by the book. I attempted to use a ATT sime BEFORE RC2 of blackra1n came out and again neither the ATT Sim nor the T-Mo sim would work in the phone.

    I just used it for my 3Gs and it jailbroke the phone on 3.1.2 in a little under 60 seconds! I couldn’t believe my eyes so I grabbed my friends 3Gs and did the same thing, under a minute!!! I jailbroke four phones in 5 minutes!!!!

    Works perfect!!!!

    @pdx,

    Did rc1 jailbreak your phone? If yea then you don’t need rc2.

    If it didn’t work the just download rc2 and do it.

    I went to Redmond Pie and tried to figure it out, but it looks like without buying MyWi, I’m not able to get the tethering option by using Windows. Help?
