So earlier today there was a little rumble in the unlock world,via Twitter, as a new exploit was rumored to be found for the new iPhone 3.1.3 firmware’s baseband 5.12. Sherif Hashim managed to crash the baseband, which in turn could possibly be used for an unlock.

A little while later MuscleNerd of the iPhone DevTeam, confirmed that it was a legit find. Read more…

Update: November 4 is said to be the release date of blacks0w

GeoHot has been working around the clock on this unlock and I must say has made the fastest progress I have ever seen on an unlock. Of course Geohot is a workaholic so when he says something is going to get done he doesn’t stop until he’s finished as you can see from the video above it took him 2 days i believe to get a working unlock on the new 05.11.07 baseband. To clear things up yes this will work with the iphone 3G and 3GS check out what was tweeted earlier

Geohot has announced that an unlock dubbed BlackSn0w for the iPhone 05.11.07 baseband is coming soon.

This means that all iPhones will be unlockable; including those that have accidentally or intentionally upgraded to the latest firmware.

this is the most complicated injection i have ever done, and it uses a public command

Geohot has started looking for an iPhone unlock for the 05.11.07 baseband. He estimates it should take approximately one day to find.

Jody Sanders, a person notorious for selling the Dev-Team’s unlock, has offered Geohot $10,000 for releasing a new one. Sanders maintains that he is not selling the unlock but rather selling the support that comes with it.

If Geohot does find an unlock it will be released free to the entire community regardless of whether Sanders actually pays out. “it’s not really the 10k, i wanted to do it anyway”

The search has already begun and we will keep you up to date on Geohot’s progress.
