IPhone-Dev Team Update
It looks like the iPhone dev team hasn’t been resting much since releasing the iPhone Pwnage Tool 2.0 a few weeks ago. The team has decided to update their progress. Even with the iPhone 2.0 jailbroken, there still isn’t anyway to unlock a 3G iPhone. They have managed to do other things like downgrade a 3G to an older baseband firmware, which shows you that they have the ability to bypass security checks and run un-signed coded.
One of the nice things about the downgrade is that they have ben able to perfect the precautions they take to prevent bricking. On a side note, the RiP Dev team has been doing some great work on Installer 4 which will help everyone instal software on their iPhones/touches that isn’t from the AppStore.
