Or, the DEV Team found a way to create their own signed firmware images.

Both options are great. Hope its released the minute after the SDK is announced.


Kudos!

I've been told that it's the latter. It's not a custom bootloader but a signed custom firmware image (.ipsw) loaded, among other things, with the appropriate fstab, lockdownd, and baseband unlocking script (that presumably was run during the reboot after the upgrade).

you are retarded. Bye

I think the DEV Team found a way to create their own signed firmware images.

This would in theory allow for usage on more than one bootloader yes?

which I think would be it's major advantage over a solution like ZiPhone. While ZiPhone is great and it's allowed people to use their phones. it's potential lifespan could end with the release of a new bootloader or some other checks in a new phone version. don't really know.

I personally like the idea of not needing to be downgrading various parts of the phone to use current versions of firmware (I'm still on 1.1.2 with my 4.6 BL). still iffy on downgrading my bootloader.

Someone posted this comment on TUAW.com:

Unfortunately, wouldn't Apple's just patch iTunes to do a crc/md5 type check on the firmware file before attempting the restore so that only official firmware files are allowed?

LOL. Oh well, I guess the cat and mouse chase countinues.

stop presuming facts... it is fake!

Hey kiwi, are you such an ass all the time, or only on leap years?

kiwi and others your IP should be banned from the servers to download this when it is released..

fake?.. some of you re so retarded... why would the dev team fake something like this?? they have a tremendous amount of respect to loose and would never jeopardized that.

So, given that this custom bootloader is coming, is it better to be on BL3.9 or 4.6 or does it even matter?

And that is a good question. Some people say that downgrading to 3.9 is bad, because the phone will stay there for ever, without the possibility to upgrade again, even with a custom firmware. Don't know about that... But if this is true a lot of people are about to freeze there phone for ever with the new 1.1.4 firm and Ziphone 2.5.

What do you think?

whatever guys... let me know when they will say how they did it....

ps

check in the forum a thread called week 50 iphone impossible to unlock...... guess who was convincing the community that was a fake?? do a serach before talking guys... it is always the same story and always the poor kiwi gets the insult
