Not sure how DMCA-legal this is, but here's the skinny.
Download the Restore package using iTunes. Hit Restore on your iPhone screen and accept all the wild legal mumbo jumbo (after reading it thoroughly). Then unplug your iPhone as it downloads.
Head over to where iPhone updates are stored (on Windows, Run "application data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates") and rename the new .ipsw to .zip.
Extract the contents.
Run this command on the Ramdisk DMG:
strings 009-7662-6.dmg | grep "^[0-9a-fA-F]*$"
Look at the strings that come out. One of them is very long.
Now grab
vfdecrypt.
Edit vfdecrypt.c putting in the key you found where it says INSERT KEY HERE. Use the same amount of characters as the hyphens in there, replacing them with parts of the key.
Now compile vfdecrypt. You can use...

Alright, here's the skinny on what's changed in the new iPhone firmware (1.0.2):
- /private/var/db/localtime has been changed from a file to a symlink,
looks like a fix related to time zones.
- The kernel caches in /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/ have been changed. So
a few changes in the kernel. The new kernels are actually
smaller by about 6 kilobytes.
- The Info.plist for the Multitouch driver in /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMultitouchSPI.kext has been changed. This corresponds with what appears to be reprogrammed multitouch firmware,
possibly fixing some multitouch issues for some.
- A few files have been rearranged, for the IOKit, MultitouchSupport, OfficeImport, and System frameworks (/System/Library/Frameworks). Looks like they've replaced some static folders with symlinks into the Versions folder of each framework. Possibly a backward compatibility move? I'm just thinking...

Here's some code to initialize the accelerometer to run at full speed. Pass the desired sample rate (in Hz) to the initialize function. Go wild!

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.

Alright! Congrats to Kmac1985 from the Hackint0sh forums who discovered this little doozy of a method. Make sure to read the issues below (it's not COMPLETELY reversible). On a phone that has 1.1.1 installed:
- Start by downloading the 1.0.2 firmware
here. Get it while it's still hot. That's an Apple download link so it's subject to change.
- Try to sit under a good light source. You need to see the screen clearly when it's not backlit.
- Make sure the phone is on and running normally (if activated, at the Home screen, if not, just at the "Activate iphone" screen). The phone must also be docked or plugged in to your USB cable.
- Press and hold the Power and Home buttons on the phone until the screen shuts off.
- Release the Power button immediately. Keep pressing the...
