Thanks for all the news. I know that I am not only speaking for myself...but you guys rock!! lets all just hope that apple puts something out soon.

Sorry, but the Orange french iPhones will be in firmware 1.1.2

We 'll have to wait some more ...

Can you teach me how to check the bootloader ? I don't really understand the methods they show.

gayyy apple - however thanks for the information ! definetly clarrified a lot of unanswered points !

looks like that we have luck and a new firmware is comming soon. tmobile in germany has a lot of problems with the unlocked iphones. guess what, the unlocked iphones have have problems with not supportet country codes. :p

Is 1.1.3 (or whatever the next version is) an absolutely sure bet?

I mean, can we be absolutely sure that we are able to extract the secpack from the new firmware and proceed with the steps that pspsully described? Could Apple implement some new tricks that would prevent that and still leave us waiting for a software unlock?

I hope thats right, it would be awesome.

Hi all, I know that the hardware unlock solution is not easy, and as said b4, only a few people can do it...
My father has a smd component factory and I've just called him and explained the proccess to him, he said he probably can do it, but I what I want is some info...
Everything I found till now is summarized, I wanted some detailed info...
Just to make clear, I dont want a guide, I just want some details on the hardware unlock so I can try.
If someone could please tell me some info or pass me a link to some info I'd really appreciate

Doesn't make sense to me. Who told you this?

Regarding sniffing the germany official unlock via iTunes.

I don't think it is worth spending time on this. Likely, there is no direct relationsship or algorith to get the NCK (network control key) from the IMEI to unlock the phone. It is more likely that Apple has a database with all IMEI / Serials and the correponding NCK's. iTunes may send the IMEI and get the NCK back to unlock the phone. The official way. As the NCK is different for every phone this would not help. Likely, the NCK is only given back to iTunes when the IMEI is on the white list of the Apple server.
A more reasonable approach to an official unlock would be this:
It is already known how to get the RSA hash of the NCK from the seczone. This can not be decrypted without the private key. But if it is possible to reverse engineer the routine which encrypts the NCK to compare it with the RSA hash of the NCK, given the public key, it would be possible to create all RSA hashes of all NCK values XXXXXXXX in a database(10^8 possibilites). This would maybe take some time, a week?, I don't know, but afterwards it should be possible to get the NCK from there after extracting the RSA hack from the seczone. This would be pretty much like the official unlock.

Maybe I am wrong but has there anything been posted why reverse engineering the hash routine is not possible? Does anyone know if this is sitting in the bootloader or the firmware? Any comments would be great.

If the public key is known, is the RSA encryption used not known?
