iPhoneWorld.ca: iPhone Dev Team one step closer to iPhone 3GS unlock, Apple’s to thank
June 30, 2009
Those unstoppable iPhone hackers from the iPhone Dev Team announced that they’re one step closer to producing an unlock tool for the recently launched iPhone 3GS.
Their statement says:
[Less than a week after the 3GS launch] we were able to verify that the 24Kpwn exploit that the hybrid team used on the iPod Touch 2G is still applicable to the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS. That means we can use the same sort of technique used by our current redsn0w tool to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS. ”
They further wonder:
“This is great news, but how did it happen? Why didnt Apple fix this in their normal cat&mouse fashion? Well it seems this bootrom was cut in about the August 2008 timeframe, so the unintended early reveal of 24Kpwn earlier this year didnt affect the iPhone 3GS.”
Still, there’s a word of warning among all those encouraging news:
“Important: Apple has not given up on the cat&mouse game, and in fact there are challenging aspects of the 3GS jailbreak that arent in the other devices. Itll take some time to safely work these into our tools, but the fundamental weaknesses are there: The bootrom is exploitable via 24Kpwn, and the baseband is exploitable via ultrasn0w. (And just like with the 3G, ultrasn0w for 3GS requires that you not update your baseband when Apple comes out with new firmware.)”
So for now the only models that can be unlocked are the iPhone 2G and the iPhone 3G.
