Liveblogging the big iPhone 1.1.1 hack

tuaw.com — Last night, iPhone hackers "dinopio" and "Edgan" brought 1.1.1 hacking into a new arena. By using symbolic links before doing a 1.1.1 upgrade, they were able to gain access to the entire 1.1.1 file tree. Today, I'll be liveblogging my attempt to duplicate their hack. So sit back and reload as I put my poor iPhone to the test. via TUAW

sholt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Heh... using a sym link before the update.

That's actually a slick idea.
pmpk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3WTG erica! props to dinopio and edgan
OneManArmy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Prepare to see 1.0.2 Dev-team-edition soon ;)
GodsDragon, on 10/10/2007, -22/+4God please stop digging the iPhone.
- tokyomonster, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10BLOCK THE APPLE CATEGORY
nbeighley, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10OK, everybody brace yourselves for 1.1.2!!!
Bridea, on 10/10/2007, -8/+1meh
kee440, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2*Gets giddy*
carvsdriver, on 10/10/2007, -25/+2It is just a phone, Appletards.
- tokyomonster, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10So then why would you take the time to say this?
- kee440, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If it's just a phone, why are you crying about it then?
alefox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3where's the touch hacks?
- Chakat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Still in the works. A lot of the reason why they're focusing on the iPhone right now is because they have known ways in. It's assumed among a lot of developers that they're doing similar things for the touch, so once they get the iphone jailbroken, they can apply those techniques to getting the touch working.
- kris33, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This method also works for iPod touch, atleast according to some random chatter on the #itouch channel.
jdepp, on 10/10/2007, -15/+3It means he's tricking Apple LLC into using a condom when they upgrade-***** the iPhone
and he's now analysing the goop they left behind. :)
- badnewsblair, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Seriously, the worst analogy I've ever read.
Wander2000, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Some bright person should work on getting 1.0.2 to spoof that it's running 1.1.1, that way any future programs that require that version (iTunes or the upcoming Leopard) won't be a problem. And then get a working copy of the music store app running on 1.0.2!
- shawnz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2the former will probably imply the ladder
dominiccarr, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17Would everyone who hates apple or the iphone just y'know go away, or block the apple channel.
indiefan, on 10/10/2007, -6/+22i'm not a hater, and i own an iphone, but seriously...when did Apple become sony?
- skellener, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4When 1.1.1 and the $0.99 ringtone fiasco for iTunes was released.
  - Me1000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4when they signed a deal with at&t
- SirZRX, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1they prove that they can be greedy as Microsoft and evil as Sony!
codehkr, on 10/10/2007, -12/+2iPhone 1.2.3.1.1.1.2.3.4.4.21.1.1.1.1.23...4 hack coming soon.. i'll wait for that

morons!
- energyblue, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Are all the numbers in the title too confusing for you?
objectcode, on 10/10/2007, -10/+2i hate being dugg down
joerod, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I never doubted this would happen I only wondered how long it would take.
nubela, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2just a quick qtn: how is this going to help unlock 1.1.1? enlighten me please.

I know it'll help create custom firmwares for those with already unlocked 1.0.2 to get 1.1.1 features, what bout those with virgin 1.1.1? bandbase still not going to be downgraded.
- noisebleed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Being able to dig around the 1.1.1 file system and install some tools should prove very useful for understanding the encryption scheme.
  - senatorpjt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1If you can copy all the files off 1.1.1 from the phone, I don't see why you even need to understand it. Just copy off, patch, and copy back.
  - shawnz, on 10/18/2007, -1/+1but... its running 1.0.2, not 1.1.1. the 1.1.1 firmware is installed to a different directory.
amneosis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Cat 0 1 Mouse
goat2, on 10/10/2007, -18/+10what the ***** kind of faggotry is "liveblogging"
- airburst, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1It's just like regular blogging but with timestamps! Ooooohh it's LIVE. I'm so sick of these buzzwords.
vinchBR, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1good luck guys =)
zabouth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I love the way its always the simple solution
TechBharat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Hope I can upgrade my unlocked 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 with Apps.
beauche, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Wow... between your skillz, in combination, with the guys over at T-MobileSignal (they help me with perspective), not to mention HowardForums (general wireless questions), it has been a great summer! NICE HACK, ERICA SADUN!
hungarianhc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This cat and mouse game sure is fun!!!
crossers, on 07/14/2008, -0/+0I like this way, couse there is a simple solution!
