And you thought the code-warriors working on iNdependence were on their game…
Check out this video demonstrating the "iPhone Unleashed" as it's updating from a jailbroken iPhone v1.1.1 straight to the iPhone v1.1.4 firmware. The kicker here is that the update process, via iTunes, automatically and seamlessly jailbreaks, unlocks, and activates the iPhone into v1.1.4. What you see is an iPhone "that are belong" to the "iPhone Unleashed" team, running a jailbroken iPhone v1.1.4 and locked on to T-Mobile's network.
The team has also "PWNED" the restore screen to their liking. Not to mention replaced the startup Apple logo with their own. The iTunes-based jailbreak was made possible by hacking the iPhone firmware restore file (that file that ends with the extension .ipsw). This jailbreak is not ready for primetime yet, but we can only hope that there are plans to release it soon.
Oh, and they did all this without any official iPhone SDK support from Apple. These guys are amazing! Props to roxfan, Turbo, wizdaze, bgm, pumpkin and the iPhone Dev Team.
