Yeah, could you update on the unlocking?

well, the unlock will be done once someone had the right idea to solve the problem. lets see what comes with the weekend. noone can promise fast sucess but we do our best.
its worked many many hours each day to archive the goal, 24/7 for real. but as it is with such things, time spirit and ideas are the key, and its hard to give a eta on such things.
please belive me we do our best. I think we do good atm ( see toolchain, new tools and research results etc.) but all we can tell is it will be done once its done.
all research is open and it will be public as soon we found the missing bit but in the meantime all you can do is wait for the day white smoke rises and its done.
for anyone who wants to supports actively, feel free to join IRC and work with us at a solution or send a donation for the team so maybe the basicneeds could be covered. thanks

Sam, do you still need/take donations? if so PM me or email me. I read the entire donation threead but since it addressed "buying an iphone for first trials" and we are far past that, I dont know what kind of donation would be in order. I'm sure money is always handy, but are you taking that?

As I said previously I have 3 iPhones which I can activate with AT&T (one is already running ATT) and I can run any sort of dump or something you'd like under windows... if you need it let me know, or send me the pp add...

best!

I think what is different is iTunes and I also think that Apple/AT&T will actually try to block unlocked phones from iTunes sync, which would be a catastrophy for many owners who buy iTunes DRM protected stuff from Apple.
It is also very likely that the lock of the SIM isn't only in the phone itself, I think that Apple/AT&T are actually using a combination of activation/verification method, using iTunes as some sort of "certified mediator" to a possible server who checks if the phone is still locked or not, resulting in a special "reply" to iTunes to tell iTunes if the phone is locked or unlocked. Just a theory. I know that the real lock is in the baseband stuff but I also think that it is difficult because there is iTunes and that almost every iPhone owner needs (or wants) to connect the iPhone to iTunes to be able to sync stuff or to buy new stuff.

Oh boy, I'm pretty sure that Apple/AT&T will rain HELL on us as soon as the unlock is available.

wat if our devs create a software based on itunes to copy and remove data??..or say sync...dat will be a great sigh of relief...
