SugarBowl Sweetness

Two weeks ago, the 3G iPhone and 2.0 firmware were released by Apple. Last week around this time we released our jailbreak for all devices,
and unlock for the 1G iPhone. Since that time, it’s been a busy week!

Dev Team’s planetbeing released xpwn, cmw released winpwn, and Apple pushed out 2.1 firmware to beta testers.
And meanwhile the pursuit of the 3G unlock goes on. Whew that’s a lot of activity for one week!

Here’s a screenshot of 2.1 running on an unlocked iPhone 1G. Pwnage remains in effect. Unlike all other jailbreaks (and unlocks for 1G),
we believe Pwnage to be fixable only via a hardware revision. So far Pwnage has worked for 1.1.4, all eight (!) 2.0 betas, 2.0 itself, and now 2.1 beta1.

Something old, something new.....

This image is the “About” screen from a 3G iPhone that was bought in a store last week.
As you can see the modem firmware version has been successfully downgraded to an older “beta” firmware.
This is not an unlock (yet), but it is our illustration of the first progress made with regard to hacking the 3G baseband.
We have accomplished this by being able to execute our own code on the baseband that allows us to circumvent security checks
and flash the baseband with older, disallowed firmware. Please note this has been accomplished using software only, the iPhone 3G has not been
disassembled or hardware modified in any way.
