It has been a busy day for the sleepless iPhone hackers. They released two tools, and have made a lot of progress, including figuring out how to manipulate the boot loader, and figuring out how to unlock the phone once they can get appropriate access to the radio.
Boot Loader
We’ve successfully issued commands to the boot loader. So far, we’ve been limited to power off, but have made significant progress on issuing other commands. Some of the commands are radio commands, and this is our key to wealth and prosperity.
UnlockingWe know how to unlock the phone, so the question now is whether we can get the commands to the radio or not. We don’t believe our method is the only method, but assuming that with the help of some very smart folks we can get access to the radio, the firmware should be trivial to unlock.

We are working some prototype circuitry which once understood, will allow us to access the debug capabilities of the phone. Stay tuned for more on this, as I don’t have up-to-date information on this yet.SVN

Again, I’m not posting a link to the actual Wiki because they’ve asked people not to in order to preserve performance and reduce vandalism so they can continue to use it productively.
