iPhone firmware 2.0 unlocked

The iPhone Dev Team have hacked the new firmware 2.0 before it's released by Apple.

The iPhone Dev claim thay have decrypted and jailbroken the new iPhone software, and published a series of screenshots of third party applications running on iPhone.

Apple has tried to keep hackers out of the popular iPhone, but now hackers from iPhone Dev Team have hacked a now yet released firmware. Every time Apple closes a hole in the firmware, hackers loves to try to hack the "impossible" to see if it is possible.

The next firmware 2.0 will include the SDK (Software development kit) and for now the hack only works for users who don't use AT&T.

Ultimate jailbreak?

Dev Team have been working on the ultimate JailBreak "Pwnage" and have for some weeks ago made a video showing how they can jailbreak there iPhone through iTunes. They told that they would release the hack when the SDK would be released, but it has been released so it’s properly just a matter of time before they release it.

Pwnage, uses a modded firmware on the computer to restore the iPhone via iTunes. When iTunes is done you have a new firmware on your iPhone and it’s JailBroken. So this must be the ultimated method to jailbreak your iPhone.

Below you can watch the video where they show how the Jailbreak via iTunes.

Dev Team will release 2 tools:

• iPwner
• IPSW Builder

iPwner allows you to use the modded firmware. It's seams like you have to use this tool one time, if you not restore your iPhone to a original firmware. The you have to use iPwner again.

IPSW Builder is a tool to pre-JailBreak the firmware. We don't know how easy or hard this process is going to be, but we hope it will be easily.
