don't get too excited, you have to soldering, so it's not for the unexperienced.

But, it is a step in the right direction!

I hope this is ture! ! I dont like to wait, but I will if I could unlock my iphone

I'm sure many people will brick their phone trying this method. Not to say that i won't try it.

Tell you what, GPS will continue to work exactly the same as it does now. Put it that way...

A better question is will Youtube finaly work ??

Well everything besides visual voice mail should work afaik because everything else uses edge data right? so that means you would need some sort of data plan from tmobile. Oh and tmobile uses edge just like att's iphone...right?

My bad. I've been following the apple forum for quite a quite a while now about GPS :-/


I feel dumb



Posted by: bryanharig

With the current TurboSIM method everything except visual voicemail works fine. Including youtube and EDGE data. I would expect the unlocking solution to work just as well.

So basically its a testpoint procedure. Simple stuff! thats what we do for the nokia BB5 models and still some motorolas

I've been following this guy since the release of the Iphone. In fact, many of you know he left the Dev Team to go to it on his own, (difference of opinion from what I understand)

Regardless, I find it interesting that someone has actually tapped into the Jtag using a hardware method. The complication of this method I am sure are difficult and I for one give Geohot a

Nice Job, I have no doubt he will also have the software unlock in the near future.

Kudos for your efforts- regardless if the laymen cannot utilize it's functions as of yet.
