iPhone Unleashed and Out of Control

We have covered the iPhone hack scene before here at ThirdPipe. The new iPhone series does not even require a soldering iron, its all in software. Good for the customer base as they can unleash the phone and use a SIM card for nearly anywhere on the planet. We still don’t think it is worth the cache of having Apple on the logo for the price. There are other options now and more coming in the near future. –

Ever since Apple changed the Bootloader with the release of the iPhone with firmware version 1.1.2 (Just in case you don’t know, the Bootloader is the code that runs before the operating system runs) want-to-be iPhone owners have had to shell out extra money for hardware unlock solutions like TurboSIM and StealthSIM. This morning however, a full unlock solution for brand new out of the box iPhones hit the web - and, as is normally the case, within a few hours another popped up too.

For those of you who don’t speak ‘Geek’ that means you can now buy (or get a friend who is in the US to buy you) a brand new iPhone from Apple and use software to unlock the phone to a point where you can use any SIM card to make and receive calls. Before this breakthrough you needed to spend extra buying a third-party SIM card that ‘tricked’ the iPhone into thinking you actually were using an AT&T Sim card to make calls. With this release, owning a brand new iPhone just got a $100 cheaper.

So how do you do it? Well, thanks to the web there are many resources that will help you unlock your new iPhone, but the best and most complete site to refer to is here. iClarified will show you everything from unlocking a brand new iPhone, to upgrading your existing firmware to the latest version 1.1.3. Most solutions oniClarified are so advanced that you don’t even need to use a computer to achieve the unlock - you simply the Installer application on the iPhone itself to run the unlock.

Let us make one off hand comment. If in watching the video you still can’t fathom all the directions then you don’t have the sensibilities to operate the phone itself, even fresh out of the box. Save your money, go home and have a scotch.
