Geohot has done did it again with a complete software unlock for out-of-the-box iPhone’s running 1.1.2/1.1.3.

Instructions are provided within the RAR archive. The procedure involves downgrading back to system software 1.0.2; however, Geohot notes that other versions may work. See here for [older] downgrade instructions. Put your phone into DFU mode to allow the software restore/downgrade; I use iNdependence for that.

If you encounter problems or have any questions — please search or ask in our forums.

Wait! Before you do anything — if you opened that shiny new, well designed iPhone box and 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 was already installed, you’re SOL — this WILL NOT work.

AnySIM 1.3 unlocks an iPhone with baseband version 04.03.13_G and boot loader v3.9. Find your baseband version under Settings -> General -> About, and scroll down to “Modem Firmware.” Sadly, any iPhone shipped with 1.1.2 or later is running boot loader v4.6.

If you’d like to update the modem firmware on your “soft-updated” jail broken 1.1.3 iPhone, and you truly know what you’re doing; here’s how:

1. Download these: bbupdater, iEraser, the secpack, and the modem firmware (ICE04.03.13_G.fls / ICE04.03.13_G.eep)
2. Extract these archives and copy the files to a directory on your iPhone; i.e.) /baseband
3. Install Ulctl and Term-vt100 via Installer.app
4. Launch Ulctl and unload “com.apple.CommCenter”
5. Launch Term-vt100 and type the following:
   • cd /baseband
   • chmod 0755 *
   • ./ieraser
   • ./bbupdater -f ICE04.03.13_G.fls -e ICE04.03.13_G.eep
   • bbupdater -v (confirm it took)
6. Restart your iPhone
7. If all went well, your iPhone should be running 4.03_13_G. If not — ask or search our forums for assistance.
8. Proceed with anySIM 1.3. Note: Airplane Mode should be enabled prior to unlocking.

Thanks Leif

Looks like iPhone hacker and hardware guru, Geohot, has done it again by unlocking an OTB 1.1.2 iPhone. It’s not the easiest procedure but you can bet that will follow sooner or later. The process entails downgrading the iPhone’s boot loader via hardware hack. Details and instructions available at the source link. Kudos!

If you don’t know what you’re doing, I recommend waiting for a complete software solution. Stay tuned.

Download: 1.1.2 OTB Unlock Package — includes the required secpack, a new ieraser, iunlocker, and testcode.bb.

Courtesy of Conceited Software is iRadio — an experimental Internet radio tuner with 3D sound features. Currently iRadio only supports MPEG streams. Download, install, and launch. A serious number of streams from various genres will be loaded.

Also a new version of gpSPhone is out — v0.0.7. It’s the Gameboy Advance emulator from developer ZodTTD. Read more about gpSPhone here.

Again, I recommend using Installer.app to ensure you always have the latest versions of each. The exception is anySIM — iPhone Dev Team’s free SIM unlocking solution. It’s not available via Installer, at least not from any reputable sources. Not that I’m aware of anyway. So grab anySIM from us.

Enjoy!

Download:
iRadio v1.0b3
gpSPhone v0.0.7
anySIM v1.2.1

Update: Here we have the iPhone DEV Team’s GUI — copy to /Applications and run from the Springboard! Source code is next up for release. :)

Use iBrickr (Windows) or iNdependence (Mac) to get anySIM.app on your iPhone.

Download: anySIM.app — software GUI unlock

The iPhone DEV Team delivers on their promise — iPhone unlocking made simple, and actually, significantly faster. Lets assume you’re on iPhone software version 1.0.2 with iTunes 7.4.1, and the phone is already activated with functional WiFi; the steps:

1. Windows — download this. Mac OS X — download this.
2. disable Auto-Lock under Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock (set to “Never”)
3. jailbreak the phone using whichever app — both are very straight forward.
4. install SSH:
   • with iBrickr: browse to Applications, install the PXL, follow instructions. Select DropBear SSH afterwards.
   • with iNdependence: click the “SSH” tab, and click “Install SSH/SFTP/SCP”
5. download the iUnlock Reloaded package; extract it and copy the 3 files to your iPhone — make sure all 3 end up in the same directory. Lets say /usr/bin for the sake of this [dirty] tutorial. I recommend using WinSCP for Windows and Fugu for Mac. iBrickr is also capable of uploading the required files. Just select the appropriate menu item.
6. SSH to your iPhone — get the IP address under Settings -> Wi-Fi -> the blue arrow next to the connected network.
   • Windows — download putty and create a connection to that IP
   • Mac — Spotlight “Terminal” and double click the app. Type
     
     ssh root@IP_address

   The default root password is ‘dottie’

7. type
   cd /usr/bin && chmod +x iUnlock_reloaded
iUnlock_reloaded
   
   
8. wait 3 – 5 mins, and you’re done!

Ok, so maybe it’s not entirely user-friendly just yet, but there is reason behind that; the iPhone Dev Team states, “Sorry for the delay with the GUI version, we working hard on it but we suffer significant problems with the new updates to the toolchain. Some changes seem to have brought up some timing issues which need to be solved first before we can release the shinny application in the wild.”

Resort to our forums should you experience difficulty. We will try our best to help you.

Steve-Jobs.com has released an updated pdf guide of their refined version of Geohot’s hardware unlock. This is by far the easiest to follow, most comprehensive guide on how to unlock your iPhone using Geohot’s method without the messy soldering.

Click here to download our mirrored copy of the guide.

Update: Apparently AT&T lawyers have put a stop to their plan. *sniff* *sniff* I smell bullshit. Rest assure, a software unlock is just around the corner. Whether or not it’s these guys, someone is going to make it happen.

…John McLaughlin, founder of Uniquephones, said his Belfast, U.K., company will be posting software on Saturday that iPhone users can download to unlock their handsets to work with any SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card on any network they choose. The software should hit the Web at www.iphoneunlocking.com between noon and 2 p.m. Eastern Time, he said.

The software is tagged with the price of somewhere between $25 to $50 (USD). I guess that is yet to be decided… Although, users who have already signed up with iphoneunlocking.com will receive a 25 or 50 percent discount. Not bad — cheaper than a Turbo SIM.

Can you feel the excitement?! Keep your eyes peeled and your pants on. See you tomorrow!

As promised — the steps to achieve a full hardware unlock of the iPhone. Rather than me copy/paste directly from geohot’s blog, just follow the link below. It’s divided into separate blog posts coinciding with his wonderful sense of humour. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll potentially end up with an unlocked iPhone.

I must warn you: it’s definitely an advanced procedure not intended for the faint of heart. If you have the skills, or the balls, have at’er. It’s currently the only working method aside from going the Turbo SIM route; however, Bladox remains out of stock. I feel for those less fortunate, really.

My spidey senses are tingling (again)… I can feel a complete software unlocking coming soon.

Kudos George, and everyone else involved.

Say whaaaaat? You know it! *kicks a cart*

Using a Turbo-SIM from these guys, without any additional hardware, a SIM card reader/writer for instance, you can unlock your iPhone — any carrier — phone, SMS, GPRS, all functional on any GSM network. I just ordered my Turbo-SIM so I cannot personally confirm this method to work, yet. Although, word circulating the virtual streets say it’s good to go.

Software you need:

• iPhone Bladox Utilities Port — you need the binary, “turbo-app”
• AppleSaft 0.92 — you need the “applesaft.trb” file

First, your phone must be activated (with the AT&T SIM), jailbreaked, and with SSH and vim. Refer to previous tutorials to do that

- Download the port of Bladox utilities on your computer, extract it on your computer (you need the binary file turbo-app)
- Download AppleSaft 0.92 from Bladox, extract it on your computer (you need the .trb file)
- Turn on your phone with Turbo SIM + AT&T subscription
- Disable CommCenter – ssh to your phone, vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.CommCenter.plist add

Code:

<key>Disabled</key> <true/>

for example add it just after these lines, already present in the file

Code:

<key>OnDemand</key> <false/>

If you don’t like vim, you can do this modification on your desktop computer (iPhuc/iPhoneInterface getfile, modify the file, and putfile)

vim ultra light survival kit

i : insert mode
ESC : command mode (from insert mode)
dd : delete the current line (in command mode)
:w! : save (in command mode)
:q! : quit (in command mode)

- Reboot
- Copy turbo-app to your phone (for example in /opt/bladox)
- Copy applesaft.trb to your phone (for example in /tmp)
- ssh to your phone, set the executable permission to turbo-app (chmod a+x /opt/bladox/turbo-app) and run it with /opt/bladox/turbo-app /tmp/applesaft.trb. It should take approximately 30 seconds and you shouldn’t see any error. Please panic if you see one
- Reenable CommCenter – ssh to your phone, vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
com.apple.CommCenter.plist and delete the lines you added previously
- Reboot
- Go into Settings/Phone/SIM Applications/Apple Saft and choose Set
- Turn off your phone
- Turn on your phone with Turbo SIM + your subscription and test

Check back for a full report (and cleaner tutorial) once my Turbo-SIM arrives. Mad props to everyone responsible for achieving this unlock!
