Congratulations Guys and good work. Everyone should just be patient it's a lot of work to do this and living a little while longer on 1.0.2 is not a big deal.

And yes i am sure Apple will try to shut this down in their next release however their attempt to do that in 1.1.1 has now cost them a class action law suit and bad press from LA Times to Businesweek. In the long run they are not pursuing their customers best interest or their own.

But as long as they continue to be Borg I will keep contributing and supporting the folks that give us Freedom.

haha sweet Root access is a huge step. I'mlearning UNIX/LINIX OS in college right now. This all ties in so well with what im learning. (hoping to be a future hacker or atleast help with these things) any one have ideas where i can learn more wether in general hacking or with the iphone?

Fixing a bricked PSP is easy but this isnt the forum for that now is it

Sweet. This'll calm all the iTouchers down too. This has gone much quicker than I thought it would go. Kudos!

Yeah, and I wish Apple would stop trying to stop us from hacking it, or they'll kill the iPhone the way Sony killed the PSP.

I'm gonna Donate too, These guys are simply awesome.

Lets hope Apple Doesn't find a work around the Tiff exploit (which will be really really easy for them...sorry to break that to you).

Anyways, I'm glad that im going to have some awesome features on my iphone like double tap home button. I love that function.

the faster we hack, the more apple will try to keep us from modding.

"Using the tiff exploit, we have managed to expose the root parition via the symlink hack. We have verified the exploit with an iphone 1.0.2,1.1.1 and itouch 1.1.1
We are currently working on remounting the / parition rw and we will be hosting the exploit on this site SOON."

Why is the DEV team working so hard on the software - when the biggest problem is all of the fingerprints and face grease all over the screen!!

If I donate some more to the DEV team will they send somebody over to wipe it off every 10 minutes for me?

but seriously, nice work guys - I hope that this is the last time we have to go through so much just to get some stupid icons back!
