iPhone Firmware Update: Let the Battle Begin
September 29, 2007 by Lauren
It is upon us now; the Apple firmware updates that you have been so carefully warned about. There was always that chance of, "Maybe it won't affect our tweaks!" Nay, dreamers, the work of hackers everywhere is being undone and war wages on.
The newest iPhone version, 1.1.1, did bring some new features. So long as you still are still running your original SIM, you'll get some things like a louder speakerphone, iTunes WiFi music store, and other various treats. But the update also put hacked phones on the chopping block. So it is just as I said before for all of the users out there with unlocked iPhones; if you haven't updated yet, don't! This won't completely brick your phone, but it will turn it into an un-activateable vegetable in the blink of an eye.
For those phones that have already been firmware-murdered, our noble hackers in shining armor are tinkering right now, diligently searching for a way to revive the victims. Rest assured, something will be figured out. Until then, though, stay far away from the updates.
