"does NOT baseband problems from earlier releases."
Wha?

So I can virginize my phone, upgrade to 1.1.1 and then run AnySIM again?

Awesome.

What the heck. This is the first piece of iPhone news all day! TUAW is being smothered with Leopard news. What gives? Gosh!

As far as I can tell, that procedure will still "brick" your phone in between, but once you re-unlock, it should go back to working again (hopefully as good as new), as the unlock check will be patched out again. However, by doing it this way, you lose an extra unlock attempt (5 total), and still will be in danger of "bricking" again in a future update.

Or you could wait until there's a "safer" unlock which is being worked on by the other groups, that works like in IPSF, where once you unlock it is _really_ unlocked (and seems to survive upgrading, despite issues with activation), and you don't have to maintain a patch in order to maintain the unlock like in AnySIM. I have no idea how long this could take though. Or finally you could just give in and pay IPSF, although I'd rather wait personally.

Well done guys but 1.1.2 is around the corner which adds "fixes" and the Notes/Mail.app iphone syncing feature.

I'm guessing this will break 3rd party apps and 1.1.1 SIM unlock yet again :(

It, s a wonderful new!!!

So I had this thought. Apple is adding a "signing" ability to their applications in leopard, you know, to make sure it's from an authorized publisher or w/e. Who's to not say that because of this, we'll be able to develop for the iPhone (and just have to have our applications signed, with a purchased or public key), where all of this bricking nonsense won't be a problem (unless you're trying to go with another carrier, but that's a different story).

Nice. Now I'm waiting on a method to upgrade an unlocked 1.0.2 iPhone (with unlock.app) to 1.1.1. Don't forget about us!

AnySim does NOT alter the NCK counter and no, if you already unlocked with AnySim, you can not virginize your phone, upgrade 1.1.1 and then unlock with this version simply because there's no way to "virginize" your phone yet. The dev-team should have this soon though.

As for IPSF-like unlocks, It is not clear if this Anysim unlock will survive upgrades, but the dev-team's working on it and I'd put my bets on them...

Actually, that would be 'Na zdrowie' — although that's pretty much how it's pronounced (in Polish at least).

There has been so many different news on the 1.1.1 issue so far, I'm lost. Can someone tell me, is there a method for fresh out of the box ATT 1.1.1 iPhones to run 3rd party apps yet? Thanks in advance. Oh yea, I am running Vista, not Mac.

Ok - so just so I (and I suspect others) are clear:This will NOT work for my 1.0.2. anySIM unlocked phone - right? Because my baseband is
sullied. But, what about the "revirginizer" that the Dev team is working on? Will it take 1.0.2 phones back to a virgin, out of the box state? And if so, how can I update my (then) virgin phone up to
1.1.1 so I can then activate and unlock it with AnySIM 1.1?

Thanks in advance for any help with these questions

@JD: Correct re: 1.0.2 needing to be virginized. Once it is accomplished you can upgrade to 1.1.1 using iTunes update :) Then you are off to the races with the 1.1.1 unlocker mentioned here.

Eh... great! So when is the gui application for jailbreaking 1.1.1 coming out? the instructions right now are pretty hard

Guys and girls... this is a patch again..
I applied it to 1.0.2 and when i update to 1.1.1 the phone locked again...

I cant rely on the devteam to come out with a patch each time.
My iPhoneSimFree is working from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 without me having to worry about the update bricking my phone.

Why release incomplete solutions and cause sooooo many issues? All these people who use a free solution end up spending more to get their phones sent back to fix them.

Just get iPhoneSimFree license and cut the stress!

My 2 cents

Ladanada - tks. So, I did not know you could update a phone with iTunes before it has been activated (ie in a virgin state). Good news

As much as I appreciate the efforts of the Dev team, have to say that Andreas' point is well made. But it is right that with iPhone simfree you can simply update as if it was a locked, ATT activated phone with no re-locking? (I seem to recall that at least the jailbreaking was undone with iPhone Simfree phones when upgraded...?)?

Yes indeed. They have demonstrated that their unlock is permanent. You'd only have to jailbreak and activate, but that has nothing to do with the unlock! No corruption, no damages, no 2nd and 3rd unlock!

Its an one-time process that actually works.

And the new iNdependence jailbreaks & activates 1.1.1, correct?
So this was the last piece of the puzzle for F.O.B. 1.1.1 iPhones?

And the new iNdependence 1.2.2 jailbreaks and activates 1.1.1 iPhones, correct? So AnySim 1.1 is the last piece of the puzzle for those of us with F.O.B. 1.1.1 iPhones?
