iPhone v1.1.1 baseband downgrade released

by Ryan Block posted Oct 12th 2007 at 1:24AM

For those following this stuff religiously: the iPhone "Elite" Team has released a method to downgrade the baseband on v1.1.1 iPhones. Ok, that basically means if you accidentally disabled the phone end of your iPhone with anySIM or iUnlock during the upgrade (or just decided v1.0.2 is where it's at), now you can revert to the last working version and restore order to your iPhone's wayward cell radio. Right, for free without paying iPhoneSimFree a cent for their unbricking solution. Alright, maybe you don't care about any of this stuff -- honestly, we don't blame you. Anyway, it's out there, so for those in the crowd who've been waiting for this -- and judging by our tips, that's a lot of you -- enjoy.

AT&T and Apple have made an agreement and I think that people should respect that. But it seems like it's a sport to hack every Apple product.

Are you serious? Considering the fact it's borderline illegal what AT&T and Apple have done, I don't think iPhone users need to respect anything. Hell, I even joined the class-action lawsuit against Apple for the re-locking on the phones. Thats why they are having such a hard time finalizing a deal with Europe because they don't lock phones over there and Apple is getting their panties in a wad. I say hack the iphone all day and night, do whatever we want to do to it. We paid full price for the device and it is our perrogative to do whatever we want to it.

Highly Ranked

I'm not really disagreeing with, well I kind of am, but I at least understand what you're getting at. I'm going to throw something out there, but with someone such as yourself who has joined the ridiculous class action suit and is so obviously flying off the handle (google it) I don't really expect you to take what I'm saying objectively. Yes you bought the device the, you can do what you want with the device. So go ahead, paint it, use brillo pads on the aluminum and give it the brushed aluminum look, engrave the case, etc etc. The problem is you don't own the software running on the device. Those who have unlocked the phone are tampering with the software (owned by Apple) and that is the problem.
