iPhoneguide

iPhone hackeren Jonathan Zdziarski, måske bedre kendt som “NerveGas”, har sat en iPhone til salg på ebay. iPhonen er speciel derved, at den er med en rigtig 1.1.3 jailbreak, dvs. ikke den soft jailbreak der er frigivet og volder en del problemer. Metoden til dette rigtige jailbreak er stadig hemmeligholdt af Dev Team, som først vil offentliggøre det efter frigivelse af SDK. Selve metoden til jailbreaket er slettet fra telefonen, således at en køber ikke vil kunne finde ud af hvordan det er gjort.

Beskrivelsen på ebay lyder sådan:

“This 4GB iPhone has been my development phone since Apple’s initial release. It has been with me when we first jail-broke firmware 1.0.0, was used when I wrote ‘iPhone Open Application Development,’ and today is proudly running the ‘private’ jailbreak of firmware 1.1.3.

“The private jailbreak is how members of the dev-team jailbreak our own phones, but is not presently available to the public. This is one of the only ‘true’ jailbreaks out there for v1.1.3, and as such is running the 1.1.3 baseband, 1.1.3 kernel, and is activated – running flawlessly with the native Google location service, fully functioning sync, sound, and all other features as a proper upgrade does. The firmware was updated directly in iTunes, and so is a completely legal software revision to include with the iPhone. As a week 23 phone, this iPhone has the older boot-loader, which allows for unlocking. 1.1.3 unlocking development is underway, but will require an older bootloader like this one. And if you can’t wait then you can always downgrade the baseband when the next firmware version rolls out.”

Opdatering: Og iPhonen er nu ikke længere tilgængelig til salg via ebay. Hvorfor den er taget af igen vides ikke.
