Breaking: iPhone 1.1.3 unlocked using hardware method
This is not confirmed. (Now confirmed! Digg this!) N41, hackint0sh iPhone moderator, posted a news saying they have completed the iPhone 1.1.3 hardware unlock. Without any photos and videos, N41 said with the help of Geohot (the first one who unlock iPhone in the world), hardware unlock is done possible. The procedure is like this:
- Unlock the iPhone with firmware 1.1.3 (baseband 4.03.13)
- Downgrade the phone to 1.1.2 then jailbreak it for normally using.
- Phone will work at: firmware 1.1.2 and baseband 4.03.13.
This unlock method requires to physically open the iPhone. You cannot use 1.1.3 in the end since no jailbreak method is successful on 1.1.3. This is still a good sign because once 1.1.3 jailbreak method is found, hardware unlock out of the box iPhone (bootloader 4.6, and also 3.9) is possible and use the newest firmware 1.1.3.
Note nothing is confirmed and hardware unlock is not easy. I highly recommend all of you, DON’T UPDATE iPhone to 1.1.3 unless you are using official and authorized carriers.

Hello guys just to ask you if you consider to wait a little bit more for 1.1.2 boot 4.6 complete software unlock or just go ahead with one of existing …SIM method. By this time i’m not very sure how much time is gonna take.

Bootloader 3.9 or 4.6 it’s not a big problem in our solution! Want some pics? I’ll upload soon. Now still trying around on that phone, still trying to find a way to use 1.1.3 permantly.

TIZ, it is possible to unlock(jailbreak) 1.1.2. the problem is you cant use any sim you need hardware to use it, such as turbosim, simfreer, etc. but jailbreak is easy…
here is the site http://www.winandmac.com/mobile/iphone/win-ultimate-guide-to-fully-unlock-112-for-free/
all you have to do is start from STEP 3, BUT before this step, you have to RESTORE your iphone and downgrade to 1.1.1…than STEP 3…
