iPod touch/iPhone ramdisks decrypted

Erica:

If i was to buy a new iphone direct from the apple store, im guessing it will already have the 1.1.1 firmware.

If i understand right, i could unlock it, but not activate it right? to use it with another carrier's SIM?

Any ideas of when this will be possible?

IMO someone should work on putting Linux on the iPhone or at least work on making an open source firmware

Nice work.

To moan or not to moan ? it makes no difference to the outcome, they obviously have nothing better to do or read and it's easy to skip their boredom maybe in their spare time they could create their own blog and have it iPhone free, oh no! wait then you'd get people moaning about it not having any iPhone content, then they;d moan about those moaning about....

Now can someone delete that spam shite above me.

@dk #24, Erica is getting no donations out of this. You seem to have made it your mission to bitch about this. You complain about this whole iPhone wasting your time, but it's only wasting your time because you spend so much time posting nasty comments on it :) Skip over the articles you don't care about, and read the ones you're interested in. It really is that simple.

Somebody really should start the Unofficial Hacking Weblog. Using bizzarro TUAW naming logic, it shold be one awesome blog about Apple. Then everybody who wants to read about Apple can go to the hacking weblog and everybody who wants to read about hacking can go to the Apple weblog and then my head can explode from the stupidity of it all.

Way to go guys!

I will wait! and I really appreciate these people who are doing SUPERB job!

Have you heard that T-Mobile Wired News too? http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2007/10/tmobile ? "Court Clears Way for Mobile-Phone-Unlocking Lawsuit Against T-Mobile"

Sounds like.. .Apple may be and AT&T gonna get a hard kick in their asses! for having the Monopoly!

@steve in denmark

hahaha that is hillarious, though i am in support of the hacks and hack updates (especially as more and more breakthroughs are made) i had to give you credit for a good laugh

I agree with PaulE. I just gave the team a few bucks. I'm no programmer, but if giving the team a few bucks will help them create a product for "the rest of us" to unlock/activate our phones, I'm happy to help. One more thing, quit bitching about this feed. This story is the hottest thing going in Apple Land right now, if you don't like it, start your own site. That way you can control the content.

btw -- do any of you know who you are donating money to or what it's being used for?

the latest apple conspiracy? the iphone dev team is handing sadun some change to overflow the site with spam?

this is being tossed into a vacuum, but to #17

i read this site via the rss feed. unfortunately, i can't customize it to remove anything with "sadun" and "hacking primer" in the text... i get all of them.

maybe i really am missing something here. if i start thinking like this new elite iphone applescript team haXX0r culture, then technically my bandwidth is being abused by articles i am not requesting so i should file a class action lawsuit against tuaw for lack of features and disrupting my life.

but man how would i know what "file system" meant without my primer so that when i fuXX0r my phone i can also sue starbucks? or wait. apple? which one are we fighting guys i think we need the class action lawsuit primer.
