Unlock for 1.1.2/1.1.3 out of the box iPhones released [Update 1]
[Update 1] Good news for those who have been waiting for an unlock solution for iPhones that ship with firmware 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 out of the box. An iPhone hacker named George Hotz (a.k.a. geohot) has just posted an unlock solution for you.
Details and instructions are a little technical though, so unless you understand everything that he says in his blog post, you might want to hold off until someone posts an easy to follow tutorial and we have more reports from people who have done it successfully. Reading through the comments on geohot’s blog post, someone posted this link to one page in a very long thread on the Hackint0sh forums which explains things step by step, but please note that I haven’t tried this myself. I cannot vouch for the quality of the unlock or the accuracy of the tutorials, so proceed at your own risk.
Most users will want to hold off until someone packages this unlock into a simple one-button iPhone application. I’ll post an update once I’ve seen one.
Update 1 - 2/8/2008, 2:12 pm: A reported success story was posted in this ehmac.ca thread. They did a pretty good job of documenting the steps they used, so for those brave souls who want to try it, hope this helps!
