I am sure you will enjoy the video! A brief yet concise presentaton by the masters themselves. A very good detail but not giving it all up for Apple to take advantage. It is close to an hour’s presentation. Video is not the best of quality but that is all I got my hands on for now.

25C3: Hacking the iPhone – Pwning Apple’s Mobile Internet Device from Kiran Konathala on Vimeo.
Credit goes to volkspost @ hackint0sh (for packaging it all up) and Dev Team for initially spilling the beans (though it required some terminal hackery)! volkspost has done a remarkable job in automating the whole procedure saving the average user lot of time and terminal panic attacks!
Macbooks (both Unibody and 10.5.6 enabled Macs) have regained the precedence in iPhone hacking world (QuickPwn / Pwnage). No more switching back to a painful Bootcamp XP partition.
Before you proceed further, make sure your Mac is upgraded to 10.5.6. Quit all running applications on your Mac.

It is currently undergoing idiot proof GUI packaging for the total noobs! However, those users who accidentally upgraded to 2.2 firmware from iTunes have no other choice but to resort to x-Sim solutions or a possible baseband downgrade from 2.28 to 2.11 (hopefully).
Great job iPhone Dev Team, you really rock the iPhone world and Apple likes it too, not sure about ATT …
UPDATE : Software solution now released!
UPDATE : iPhone 3G 2.28 baseband is unhackable, all x-SIMs in the market saw a miserable failure (I have tested some and all of the rely on a IMSI spoof which was broken with 2.28. Buyer beware!
It is time for iPhone firmware 2.2 accidental upgrade users! Though iPhone devs have been hard at work chasing 2.11 baseband (they claim to have the unlock solution for 1.45, awaiting a 2.11 downgrade and a simple to use GUI). A much anticipated date of around Christmas for the …
