Instructions for tethering your iPhone 3G or iPhone with 2.0 firmware are here
Recent developments have allowed iPhone hackers to compile background applications for the iPhone - among the most interesting so far is
srelay, a SOCKS proxy server.
srelay running on your iPhone opens up a very exciting possibility - you can use your iPhone's EDGE connection with a laptop or other Wifi-enabled device.
A note of caution: Accessing your EDGE data plan through a laptop may be against your AT&T terms of service. Even modifying your iPhone to enable this service may be a violation. Please check before attempting this procedure.
Currently these instructions only work for Windows - as I don't have a Mac I can't really test anything on that side. I was hoping a...

Yo guys, the latest iPhone firmware just came out. I can confirm that it is encrypted like the iPod Touch firmware, and so far no one has cracked it open to view the files. We're working our hardest on this.
My recommendation is not to upgrade, if you have a modded phone (ringtones, fake activation, ANYTHING third-party), until we have more information. If you want to upgrade, restore your phone first with the old firmware by holding Shift while clicking Restore in iTunes (Command key if you're on Mac) and choosing the 1.0.2 firmware first, then upgrading once the restore has completed.
DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED.
Let me say this too:
The iPhone firmware version 1.1.1 invalidates ALL iPhone software hacks.
We will bring you more news as it develops.

If your iPhone has never been unlocked, downgrading from 1.1.3 will leave you bricked until you upgrade back to 1.1.3, as far as I can tell. The phone (even with an authentic AT&T SIM) reports an Incorrect SIM while iTunes says there's no SIM at all, when you've downgraded back to 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 (1.0.x untested).
If your phone was unlocked, the baseband upgrade fails on 1.1.3, so you will not have this problem but will not get 1.1.3 to work.
Obviously this may change once Apple releases the firmware officially but I do not count that as likely.

So finally Apple released the 1.1.3 iPhone firmware - and surprise! It's exactly, 100%, bit-for-bit, identical to the leaked firmware that was
demoed on Gear Live.
This means the home screen rearrangement crashing bugs will still happen.
It also means the info I released about the leaked firmware holds true. To reiterate:
If you upgrade to 1.1.3 with an anySIM-unlocked phone, your upgrade will fail, and a restore to 1.1.2 or a lower firmware will let you use your phone again.
If you upgrade to 1.1.3 with a never-unlocked phone (this includes jailbroken phones) your upgrade will succeed. You will ONLY (as of yet) be able to activate if you have a valid AT&T SIM card and service (aka the "normal" way to activate).
Once you upgrade to 1.1.3 on a normal phone, there's no downgrading. The new...

First of all, HUGE thanks to
TA_Mobile and IMTH for getting us the secpack from 1.1.3 Also, thanks to psp_sully for giving me a 1.1.2 OTB phone to play with. Without them there would be no unlock, and no blog post.
YOU VERY WELL MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE WITH THIS. Be careful. I have done it sucessfully on two phones, and have never bricked an iPhone in my life.
So lets get down to business. It is a hardware method to downgrade the bootloader, and I am assuming you are familiar with the old hardware method, so I won't repeat steps. You need to have a 1.1.2 4.6 phone for this to work. If you upgraded to 1.1.3, have fun waiting for 1.1.4!
First download
this pack, you will need these files. This includes the NEW secpack, a new ieraser, a new testcode.bb, and a new iunlocker.
1. Copy all the files to a directory on your phone. It is imperative you do not shut off the phone after ieraser, or you cannot restore wifi, since the only fls which works on 4.6 is 1.1.3 Install mobileterminal before you begin, in case you lose wi-fi. Also I advise doing this on 1.0.2, since resetting the baseband doesn't cause problems.
2. Run ienew. This is ieraser, and it erases your 1.1.2 firmware to allow the testpoint to work.
3. Find an old 3.9 nor dump and create a file called "nor" with the first 0x20000 bytes of the old nor dump. This is the 3.9 bootloader.
4. Copy "nor" into the folder and run iunew. This is iunlocker and runs just like the old one. You will need the A17 testpoint on before running this. See
Step 3 for info on this testpoint. If you restarted and lost wi-fi, it is fine. Just run it from mobileterminal.
Note: "bbupdater -v" shouldn't work at this point, since your phone has no firmware, just a bootloader.
5. The bootloader is now 3.9!!! Run bbupdater -f or restore phone with the AnySimmable firmware of your choice. It seems people are having the most luck with the firmware from 1.1.2
6. Run AnySim and, as usual, enjoy your unlocked iPhone.
PS. Thanks again to TA_Mobile and IMTH. The secpack was the only obstacle to the unlock. And thanks to the girl who pressed the return button while I held the testpoint :)
