Yes geohot and his team have done it! They have hardware unlocked the iphone. Better yet, instead of making everyone wait a week like they originally said geohot has posted up the instructions.

Click me to see the instructions

And it's nowhere near as hard as they made it seem. It's only 2 wires soldered into an easily accessible spot on the phone.

**rx8racr** · 08-23-2007, 02:47 PM

So theres not going to be a software unlock? was the software unlock supposted to come from him? if you read waht he wrote he wont be doing a software unlock.

I disagree. Soldering traces are not an easy task (especially when the traces are about 26-27 gage; it does not take much heat to burn them.) I've had to repair many Nintendo wii mods where the customers burnt pads and traces off. I'm sure this type of hardware mod for the iphone will result in a lot of bricked phones. I don't recommend anyone doing this unless you are very skilled in soldering. I'm willing to fix mistakes, but that will cost ya.

I'm gonna attempt this unlocking technique tonight... wish me luck.

QFT. Traces are a pain to solder. I sense a lot of bricks.

**suleiman** · 08-23-2007, 05:03 PM

just dont get caught doing it!

**antiflash** · 08-23-2007, 05:21 PM

It's not illegal...unless there's something about how it's done that violates something in apple's cryptic TOS agreements.

Oh...and I put together a zip of the how-to and the required files for anyone wanting a 1-stop shopping for the process...

Cheers!

**rx8racr** · 08-23-2007, 06:49 PM

Geohot Bud tell is there any software from which you can unlock completely without touching hardware come on tell me how many people are ready to take a risk to open there iPhones.

**iphoneroeth** · 08-23-2007, 07:46 PM

Alot of people are going to open their phones. The iPhone is the highest awaited unlock. I have a felling there will be about 50 posts before Monday asking how to unbrick or "I melted my board, help"
