"iPhone Dev Team" issues statement

I do unlocking of iphones. Last week I recieved a iphone with ver 1.1.1 it was blocked. I restored it with 1.0.2 then flashed the base band to 3.14 but after that now it says Repair needed. When I enter #06# it shows blank. No imei is displayed. If i go check the base band version it shows empty. When I go into general it shows NO WIFI.My iphone lost the IMEI, ICCID and the Wifi part of it, I tried to restore with 1.1.1 and 1.0.2 even 1.0.1, with out any respond. Please help

Um. yeah, wheres that 're-virginizer' tool that was promised so long ago that supposedly undoes the anySim nvram damage and puts your phone back to a factory state??? btw, I wont be using the new 1.1.1 anysim anytime soon on anyiphone for anyreason. ; ) break my nvram once, shame on me, break it twice, fuggetaboutit.

i know my words are not gonna make any change...i really cant figure why steve is making a big fuzz about the whole thing.people are buying iphone beacuse they love the brand apple.hats off to the hackers who took the initiative to do something like this...i think apple should have gone about launching it in more countries and tie ups with more networks....this would have avoided the entire panic existing.....jus relax Steve... . .let ppl enjoy the phone....dont boo your customers away.......

have they come out with this tool yet that does this:

We will provide you with a tool in the next week which will be able to recover your nck counter and seczones and even enables you to restore your phone to a Factory-like state.

i need to know lease for future warranty purposes for my 1.0.2. iphone unlock. People are saying it does not work on the seczones is that true when relocking to a factory fresh restore?

thanks s. pekerol

hey, i just got an iphone yest and i want to knw if i can unlock it anyhow. i want to use it with t-mobile and i m just to inquisitive and want to unlock it and use it can anyone help me with it. help really appreciated.

The issue is this....

If the update simply returned the phone to its factory state, breaking or erasing my third party apps, then I have the choice to upgrade and get back in compliance. I don't have any issue with Apple doing this.

This is very different from intentionally searching for the presence of third party apps and then disabling the phone if they're detected. There is no way that this could be accidental.

BTW, I have heard that the new iTunes has removed the ability to select which firmware revision you want to restore and it is also checking the contents of the file so renaming a 1.0.2 file to 1.1.1 doesn't fool it. Can anyone confirm this?

Seems everybody is always worried about following "the rules". What does it matter? Life is too short. The plain fact is that the iPhone is just fun . . . and cool to have. You want it to be your own little computer. And what is fun about computers? Programs. Why would Apple or anyone want to restrict people from writing programs? This is the fun thing about little computer gadgets and phones. Stop fussing. Stop fighting. Have fun with the iPhone, use it for everything it could be. . . and that could be a lot. As far as unlocking, most everybody that has traveled or lived outside the USA knows that you need a unlocked phone, been doing it for years. Stop fussing. Stop fighting. Life is too short.

all i want is my own damn ringtones is that so hard to ask for? i know many ppl unlock the phone for other reasons, i got a few more why'd i want to too. in all honesty, why can't i record my dog barking and use that as a ringtone. that alone is pissing me off.

I hate how people get so technical with English and grammar (Billy K). Who cares? Do you speak perfect english everyday?

There always needs to be a balance. Apple/Microsoft suck up all of your precious consumer dollars. Why do you think almost everyone in the top 5 people on the Forbes list are all in the tech sector? They make billions and billions of dollars off of you, can you say that what they are doing is truly revolutionary? No, the iPhone doesn't cure cancer.

These tech companies are making too much money, so why not hack the iPhone? Bring the damn power back to the consumer!

Mike: you are totally incorrect that Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, etc. do not block their phones. ALL phones sold in the US under contract to carriers are locked. The only way you get an unlocked phone is to buy one that was sold overseas. If you want to get pissed off, get pissed at the US wireless carriers, not the device makers.
