Reports are coming in via MacRumors, Boy Genius Report, TUAW and others that the recently released, hack-breaking iPhone firmware 1.1.1 (the software that runs the phone) has been cracked by the ‘iPhone Dev Team’ group.
The news should mean a return for the unofficial iPhone applications that have appeared over the last few months, all of which were disabled by Apple’s release of the 1.1.1 firmware update. For potential buyers of the UK iPhone who might be interested in installing apps such as the NES emulator on their handset, this is obviously good news.
However, the iPhone Dev Team apparently isn’t quite ready to publicly release its efforts, and also says that apps created for the old 1.0.2 firmware are likely to need some re-working before they’ll run on 1.1.1.
Update Oct 24th: click here for news of the iPhone ‘revirginizer’.
Dear Team thank you for your fast follow up with the latest updates, I have the Iphone with 1.1.1 and i cracked the software by downgrading it to the old V.
But i am no able to use the Phone functionality due to the modem Firmware as i assume .. its 4.0…
i can wait for the crack to happen sine i love the phone and i want to use the full functionality..
Just brought I-phone in USA ‘unlocked’. However when I attempted to upgrade software Apple ‘bricked’ the phone. Can you unbrick for me?
Regards
Mel Cayzer
Tons of thanks to the Dev team.
I bought a new iPhone only to be tied down with the firmware release 1.1.1
