iPhone Dev Team to Open Source anySIM — the Free SIM Unlocking Solution

Posted by greg

Interesting article posted over at gizmodo… It appears the iPhone Dev Team may be releasing anySIM’s source code — the free iPhone software unlocking solution. They’re hoping a community-style effort will aid in faster developments & quality software whenever Apple decides to pull some fancy footwork.

Well, all the core members of the team are OK with Open Sourcing it. Now we are checking to see if the community likes the idea and see if we can grow support for it. We want to be sure quality software, however, not have a bin-patch-mania of pieces of our hard work by other people. We are sure that Open Source people will submit their stuff to the tree so the software gets better.

It open a lot of possibilities for the future and anyone will be able to participate with quality code.

well the other guy was right, and imagine what will happend if apple gets that source and patched the file that anySim uses like what Sony did on psp when they got the source for custom firmware they change the encryption and filenames and spread the functions insted on using 1 file for 5 functions they rebuild it to use 5 files for each functions well open sourcing it is a good idea but well who knows what will really happend if apple gets that source too

i think its a tottaly bad move,

as jack-of-all-spades mentioned , apple will get the source and then release patches that will lock out the feature… ( not that they didnt allready try this.. lol )

anywhay, back to the point… anyone will be able to download the source and make a couple of mistakes during its programming, so all iphones using AnySim will just go to apple heaven… lol…

Please guys , dont release this out to the public ;p..

allthough i want to know how it works, it will be a seriously BAD move..

thanks for the reply. So why are so many prior 1.1.2 people upgrading their iPhones ? I’m sure the old bootloader can be unlocked on 1.1.2 , look at the iPhone Elite’s Google Code page - they’ve got a tutorial for the new baseband unlock on there…

Get a cheap GO card, I bought a Go card for my IPhone, and I love it ^^ damn people at AT&T tried to charge me 500 dollars for deposit. I think the lowest 1 goes for is 60 dollars 200 minutes unlimited internet (recuring). about the 1.1.2 hack. I bought mine last friday and its already hacked with installer ^^ Love my IPhone as much as I love my car now ^^ if u need help u can email me. Sayasith@cox.net but u need a GO card first.
