iPhone Dev Team one step closer to unlocking iPhone 3G

By Aaron Besson at 27 July, 2008, 8:06 am

The iPhone Dev Team are one step closer to a true software unlock for the iPhone 3G.

This image is the “About” screen from a 3G iPhone that was bought in a store last week by one fo the Dev Team. As you can see the modem firmware version has been successfully downgraded to an older “beta” firmware.

This is not an unlock (yet), but it is an illustration of the first progress made with regard to hacking the 3G baseband. The Dev Team have accomplished this by being able to execute their own code on the baseband that allows them to circumvent security checks and flash the baseband with older, disallowed (maybe unlocked) firmware.

Please note this has been accomplished using software only, the iPhone 3G has not been disassembled or hardware modified in any way.
