iPhone Broken and unlocked in 5 minutes
What a valentine..
Yesterday my sweet messengers brought an brand new iPhone from the States.
Just in time, as last friday, the latest firmware got cracked and only yesterday a one-click install for mac got released.I decided to wait another day, to see the results of some people (would it be bricked or not)
But after reading some positive results on the Dutch iPhone Forum, I decided to go along with the 0.5.3 version of iJailbreak.com.
As I watched the code passing on the screen, doing the whole thing of breaking and hacking the phone, I feared what I decided.
Yet a mere 4 minutes later it said 'Unlocked and jailbroken, enjoy your iPhone.'
What took me longest was finding a paperclip to insert my own Proximus sim. (and discovering how to open it, I admit..)
And yes, it is working like a glance, showing my proximus network, unleaching my wifi.
C looked at me, with surprise, we both never hoped it would be that easy.
Me as a geek, she fearful, I'd spend Valentine with my new love.
Yet, she doesn't need to worry..
To all of you with bricked iPhones, or phones without wifi, or those who paid an awful lot for the simcard thingy, restore your iPhone and run the iJailbreak (Leopard only...). It worked for me!
And yes, I am still stunned by the hackers: 13year old kids. F*... can you imagine...
(NB: I had to add this from C: Writing this blogpost turned out the longest procedure of all.)
