Zibri of ZiPhone fame has updated his blog with his own brand of tantalizing tid-bits of information to wet our appetites. His messages aren’t quite as cryptic as the iPhone Dev Team’s riddles and can be interpreted quite easily:

Like the egg of Columbus,
sometimes the best solution
is the simplier.

(Click the ‘More…’ link to read the story of ‘The Egg of Columbus’)

It looks like we can expect a whole new method of jailbreaking and unlocking the iPhone 2.0 platform with the next ZiPhone. Zibri and the iPhone Dev Team have had some bad blood in the past concerning criticisms from both parties regarding their methods of reaching everyone’s mutual goals. Leaving us to expect a new and innovative approach. After much hunting around for more information on what we can expect in the next generation release of ZiPhone, I managed to locate this little development log blurb from Zibri:

Next generation of ZiPhone is in the works.
It will be as simple as Apple would have done it.
A simple one click program.
A 5 seconds run.
Stay tuned.

Zibri doesn’t seem to have held back on the promises we’ll see if he can fulfill those claims.

Digg It!

There has been a lot of news circulating lately about all the juicy features in the iPhone v2.0 firmware and we are all very excited. But let’s not get too excited just yet, as with every other time there is a firmware update released by Apple those of us with unlocked iPhones need to wait or risk losing use of our iPhone. This is a warning to all of you out there thinking of trying out iPhone 2.0 on launch date, you will lose all your apps for sure. You will also most likely have your iPhone deactivated and jailed.

iPhone-Hacks.com’s advice is to wait, but we know some of you won’t. Luckily the iPhone hacking community is strong and solutions are already in the works. Zibris of ZiPhone fame is already working on a downgrader, here is what he has to say:

Well, here I am still…
The picture above is not a fake.
It’s not even a major breakthru but it’s something.
I am glad to tell you anyhow that 2.0
firmware works pretty well on my iPod 32gb.
All features are enabled.
To install it from windows (or mac) you need
a special beta version of itunes.
Unless you want to loose installer
and all third party apps I strongly suggest you
NOT TO UPGRADE (both iPod both iPhone).
To downgrade the iPod you will need
to uninstall iTunes 7.7 and reinstall 7.5.
Then you will need to put the iPod in DFU mode
and do a full restore back to 1.1.4 (and use ZiPhone)
to have back Installer and all goodies.
With the iPhone it’s more complicated
because you will also need to
downgrade the baseband.
I already have a very preliminary version
of the new ZiPhone which will allow that.

As of today you will have 2 choices:

  1. Believe in the community and don’t upgrade to 2.0
  2. Say goodbye to Installer and freedom and upgrade.
