IPhone 2.0 Firmware Already Jailbroken
- drewcrawford 18y agoNice! Now all I have to do is purchase one from Belgium (I prefer my $20/mo unlimited 3G data plan...)
- maximilian 18y agoI've heard that the belgian iPhones, while "unlocked", only work with Belgian cell phone companies. I don't have any source, but its something to consider and watch out for. Somebody said its called "Nation Locking" or something.
- pchristensen 18y agoI figured there would be all kind of tricks up AppleT&T's sleeves this time and if you want an unlocked phone, it's probably worth waiting a few months (weeks?) until the proper jailbreaking procedure is figured out.
- lyime 18y agoMost likely within the next week. Its already been jailbroken(not unlocked)
- stcredzero 18y agoSteve Jobs and Apple should be happy that there's an established lexicon around what you can do with the iPhone.
- nailer 18y ago> I've heard that the belgian iPhones, while "unlocked", only work with Belgian cell phone companies That's true in a few countries, Italy too IIRC. However the locking is based on IMEI number, which can be changed with ziPhone for this reason.
- brl 18y agoThis announcement is not about jailbreaking the new 3G iPhone hardware. A huge attack against the first generation iPhones was discovered in March which completely compromised the secure bootloader and made it possible to install any unsigned firmware image you want. http://wikee.iphwn.org/news:pwnage http://wikee.iphwn.org/news:pwnage All they have probably done here is hacked the 2.0 firmware to include the installer app and then loaded it on first generation hardware with the bootloader vulnerability.
- nailer 18y agoAgreed. But ziPhone on Thursday (maybe it's still Thursday where you are) announced they've jailbroken firmware 2.0. See http://status.ziphone.org/ http://status.ziphone.org/
- aditya 18y agoexcept that ziPhone does nasty things like giving every unlocked/jailbroken iphone the same MAC address. d'oh - but it's easy to use :-)
