here is the pic. In the end it is filled with zeros until 00020000:

You are right, the linked file in OP is the new file. You don't need to do any hex editing.

Locked do you have any hardware experience?

I was wondering is there any other step that geohot maybe forgot to mention or just running those 2 files and thats it...

Thnx in advance

Just wait ATTEMPT IN PROGRESS will soon post the result 30 minutes needed

Cool. Using needles? I'm about to do that...

Thnx alot man,
Im at work and I dont have the right tools and the iphone with me thats why I cant try.
I hope youll do it and then all of us together

P.S.: You should use rubber glows just in case

Can someone just clarify exactly where this unlock deviates from the older hw unlock? I just want to be absolutely clear on the steps before I give it a go.

you can check here for more info on NOR dumper, download link- http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki/index.php/NORDumper

just a thought:

@geohot:
is there somewhere the source of your "ienew"?

Idea:
it should be possible to change the testcode.bb with a flash function and additional data from bl3.9. After this the new functions once started with a second iunew in arm core they should be able to downgrade the bootloader itself...
May be it´s possible to workaround this to make the hardware-connection needless...

this would than be a complete software downgrade

I think it's easier to just follow Geohot's post. It's very clear. I'm going to attempt using needles instead of soldering because I think it's safer.
If I get it right I'll write a good tut.

I'm currently doing the hardware hack on a otb 1.1.2 4.06ms32 bootloader.

Maybe a little information for al who are going to try this 2.

Yes to pull of the black plastic in the start you have to use some pressure i was afraid to break some things of @ the start but the plastic wont break that fast. You have to use cauten though. To pull of the backside also wasn't that easy but if you wait long enough eventually it will come off. Don't force things because u will bend the backside and when you're going to putt it back toghter it will look like shit :p. The next thing to overcome was the little shiny metal plate i must say when i saw it i wanted to quit but again if you're carefull enough and be patient you can get it off. I've added a picture to show you what the plate looks like, it's something to assure you you're not removing the wrong thing :p.

and it should come off like this

when you've opened it look like the other pictures you've seen on the internet.

so i hope you've got some info of this if you have any questions just ask and i'll keep you updated with the needle thing :p

hehe

peace out
