[SOLVED for firmware 2.2] GPS Banned in Egypt

Here is my log for GPS unlock with Universal-SIM

If this can help

I found the file that iTarek was talking about

root/private/var/stash/libexec/locationd

I opened it with Resorcerer

thanks for that, this is expected aswell cause *sim try to trick. thanks for taht, it will help.

Yep, tahts the file we are talking about, locationd. I have to get some stuff done the next days will start to check then.

v.

so is there any new progress ?

good luck to all that is working on this.

I will start looking into this tomorrow, had way to much real life work til today ;-)

My guess is that somewhere (either in the locationd binary or in the iphone baseband) there is code that does something like this:
if (country of network phone is connected == Egypt) or (country of SIM card in phone == Egypt) then don't allow GPS
What we need is someone who understands ARM and iPhone reverse engineering to disassemble locationd and figure out how it works.

jonwil : if you read the posts in the other pages you will find that we have allready disassembled locationd and figured out how it works, now we need figure out a way to bypass it.

good luck to all...

Hi all,

Did you hear about dev-team?
Those are the only people out there whom are working on the iphone 3g carrier baseband unlock (aka: software unlock)

Those guys are currently reverse engineering the baseband code, in order to override the carrier lock code

I bet that if we ask those people, they can also check out for the gps disable code and override it

I am sure that the override code is done in the baseband and NOT the OS

My advise is we seek those people, because even if the code is found and overriden, how could you install the "cracked" baseband code on ur phone? You need to create a .ipsw file and use the pwn tool (which those guys i told u above created actually)

just visit http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ and see the last 3 weeks posts (i guess there are only 8 posts for the last 3 weeks)

This is there last pwn tool that cracks the os (not the baseband yet)
http://blog.iphone-dev.org/page/2

If you delve more, you will see posts where the team actually started decyphering the baseband code

Hi all

any news about unlocking the gps????
