iPhone Unlocked

Update (7/10): They’ve compromised the root filesystem, which should open opportunities for ringtones, custom icons, and potentially, custom apps, including unlocking programs.

I just scanned the IRC logs for #iphone and it looks like they’ve made a major breakthrough. They are working on verifying it before making an announcement. I’ll post an update as soon as I know more.

<gj> just had a little bit of a breakthrough folks
<gj> stay tuned
<gj> this is definitely not a small breakthrough
<gj> let us verify

…

<gj> MAJOR announcement
<gj> and I do mean MAJOR
<gj> we now OWN serial on this device
<gj> documents coming shortly
<gj> the significance of this
<gj> is that we can now probably access the baseband of the radio
<gj> and issue our unlock commands though we are a little ways off
<gj> please be patient and do NOT interrupt anyone
<gj> thanks
