Hey all....I just bought an IPhone from the states (I'm from Canada) and I'm giving it to this dude who has been unlocking them for my friends....problem is...I keep hearing about all this IPhone "bricking"...Can I still get it unlocked and use it? Should I not update it with the newest software? What do I do?

[...] Here’s the deal - Civil war has broken out among iPhone Dev Team, leaving the group broken into several splinter factions, each with its own banner and coat of arms. The disunited groups plan to settle their differences on World of Warcraft, in a blood orgy of axe wielding carnage. One faction, modestly named “iPhone Elite”, has released a method for downgrading the all important baseband settings that turned anySIM unlocked iPhones into bricks upon updating to firmware 1.1.1. What makes this significant is that even downgrading from 1.1.1, back to 1.0.2 won’t restore a bricked iPhone due to changes made by anySIM to the iPhone’s baseband settings. This solution provides a way of undoing those changes, restoring baseband to its original state… resulting in unbricking. [...]

Hollywood: You know that roundish hairy thing sitting on your shoulders? Use it.

Until Apple says it's safe to unlock, it's unsafe.

Question... Will new iphone buyers still be able to unlock the phone? I am receiving my phone tomorrow...

How do I know I am safe to do the unlock? Advice would be appreciated.

Okay, Apple has increased volume... now if only ATT would increase its signal strength so I can get and make phone calls from (gasp!) within my own home? Or how about the grocery store? Or even Mal-Wart? ATT is definitely the weak link.

Thanks Tony! Nah, it's not that bad. My iPhone isn't a gonner, just temporarily comatose.

I'm touched by your offer but please, don't waste your donation dollars on me. Put that towards a worthy cause like supporting charity organizations. I'll be fine. I'm down, but not out!

Is it possible for you to restore back to 1.02? Is it working after that?

I feel for you Kent, really I do. I come here dozens of times a day to see what news you have found out. You my friend, are the "goto" guy for anything iPhone related. I listen to you, I havent opened my iPhone with apptapp in fear that it might cuase some damage. Id hate to have a $600 paper weight. If in time your phone cannot be ressurected, I (and lets hope others wanna hop on this band wagon) will be more than happy to send you a donation towards the purchase of a new iPhone. Anyway care to join me in the new fund i will now name "The Untitled Kent Fund" cause I can't think of anything witty to call it as of now...any suggestions? There is no minimal donation, just whatever you want to donate.

Oh, and one more thing Kent. YOU'RE WELCOME!
