The power was off. my friend punctured the batery while trying to lever the back of the iphone up to insert the card on the side, he just was not careful enough. He was a bit stupid, as it was the first time he try and he was not supposed to do it (he did it while I had gone to fetch something to continue trying to open the back...)

Actually, the iphone is ALWAYS on. Even when it is "OFF" it is actually still "ON". There is no hardware switch that completely removes power from all the electronics. Powering OFF the iphone just puts it into a deeper than normal sleep. Even if there was such a switch, you would still get smoke and flames if you punctured or shorted the battery. Moral of the story, don't go sticking sharp (or even dull) pointy objects into any iOriface.

Neither am I with regards to the iPhone, however I've dealt with the charge and discharge cycling of Li-Po and Li-Io batteries to the extent of distructive results, for performance testing. (radio control car racing, where everything explodes sooner or later)

It is NOT a good idea to completely discharge a Li-Po or Li-Io battery. Neither type rebounds properly from being completely discharged, degrading the useful daily lifespan of the battery to annoying levels. On that note, I doubt using the phone until it shuts off will actually accomplish the desired effect of completely discharging the battery. If that is actually true, there will be plenty of voltage remaining inside the battery to fuel a fire that, as seen, is unstopable.

In the R/C community, we incinerate 4000mah Li-Po batteries at an alarming rate. Seeing the fire this phone caused, you can imagine how much damage our "misused" hobby Li-Po's generate. :eek:

Hope that tidbit of battery experience helps someone get further with this project, safely.

I know this isn't funny..

But i keep imagining how the situation might've played out and its funny.

Sorry to hear what happened but i think you just showed alot of people out there, hardware unlocking is no easy feature, and only a few certain are out there that have successfully done it ad have no problems

I'm chickening out and waiting for the software unlock, cause i don't have the guts to do a hardware unlock
