I know there are people out there that are into bugs...Jame Gumb (aka Buffalo Bill) and Gil Grissom for example—but this crap is just gross. Nonetheless, if you are a budding entomologist you...

Ok, here is where we stand right now.
ZiPhone seems to be the tool a lot of people are using. What it does is boot an unsigned ramdisk with a script to jailbreak, activate, and unlock. If you would like to view the ramdisk yourself, cut the first 0xCC2000 from the dat file and mount it as a dmg. The script is in /etc/profile. Also, Zibri, patch out the bootloader check from gunlock, it'll work with 3.9
ZiPhone is a wrapper for gunlock, which means with 4.6, it currently only unlocks 4.02.13 In order to unlock 4.03.13, right now you need bootloader 3.9
gbootloader will erase and downgrade your bootloader from software. I have checks in the program to prevent a bootloader without the bootrom locations blank from being uploaded, but if used properly, it will downgrade to 3.9, allowing 4.03.13 to be used.
4.6_GEOMOD is a modified bootloader I have with all secpack stuff patched out, hard coded IPSF style unlock(tokens always validate), full anywhere write access, no startup sig checks, and the bootrom locations blank. But the only 4.6 phone I have got bricked while I was trying to restore the seczone, and my bootloader software hack doesn't seem to work in 3.9 I guess I'll have to hw upgrade. Laziness...
Another problem comes with the release of the modified bootloader. It is copyrighted, and the patches are decently complex. What I'd really like to see is an open source, very well coded(the current compiler is crap), bootloader. Say written in assembly. I believe a full bootloader with all the functionality(minus the security) can fit in under 0x1000 bytes. It should continue to work with bbupdater, but have the crypto state machine fixed to validate everything possible. Maybe I'll get around to writing it. This is the ultimate in baseband hacks, and will put every other hack to rest, once you get the new bootloader on there. I'm sick of patching and trying to understand other peoples(badly written) code, when I can just write my own.

Master iPhone hacker Zibri has released ZiPhone, a utility that can jailbreak and unlock any new iPhone (as of firmware 1.1.3) directly, without any complicated upgrading or downgrading steps. Way easier than my crap.
Hats off to Zibri for this one.
Check out
Zibri's blog for all the instructions.
