Maybe offtopic. I have a PC running Vista. Got a VM running MacOSX and hope to use pwnage in there. USB works, sees my iPhone but iTunes comes up with a error it cannot connect to the iPhone. Anyone, or please redirect me if you know...

Zibri my friend. Fuck them all. Stop developing for an ungrateful crowd.

Here is what I hope happens.

I hope Apple decides to stop really fucking around and letting the Dev(SHIT)Team dance and prance like a bunch of bitches. Apple should and I hope they do, start implementing checks, just like Sony, Microsoft, Sat TV, etc.... They simply ask one question: "anything altered". Answer yes. ACESS DENIED. See who gets PWNED then.

Think of how easy it was to do on Xbox, and PSP cracked games. They play fine in stand alone mode but if you go online, they lock your account.

Here it comes boys and girls. The end of the DEV(FUCK)TEAM !!!!!!!

You heard it here first.

Just in case were wondering, if you decode the timer, u can see that the deadline is July 15th 12:00 noon ET . I still thing that the dev team is doing the right thing by holding the release till it's well tested.

Honestly it's all this "cloak and dagger" drama created by the dev team that makes me want to just wait for George's release of the iBoot exploit.

"We thought that Geohot would have matured somewhat in the last year, but this clearly isn’t the case, as sadly one of the team members has leaked a copy of our exploit to Geohot and he is now using this to try and provoke us into making an early release :-("

This is an insane statement! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Maturity? Honestly the iPhone Dev Team has become the poster child for immaturity in the hacking community, some of the drama that erupted over the ramdisk hack is embarrassing to us all. Now to see you guys trying to rewrite history and say you took some sort of high road? Don't be fooled people, this is a total fabrication.

In the end all the glory goes to those who herd the sheep, you're all lucky Geohot is being respectful enough NOT to immediately release the iBoot exploit.

Re: Rush, rush, rush....

cyberface — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:50:07 -0000

The only reason for holding back the exploit is to wait for Apple's MobileMe rollout to complete, so that they can see whether it can be used to negate the exploit they plan to use.
Anything else is just media whoring, and from the idiotic comments posted here (from the haters to the fanbois) it's clear that it's working.
I unlocked my v1 iPhone with the very first leaked code, yes it was command line, yes it was risky, yes it lost the seczone and yes I learned a lot in the process. Great. It's still running like a charm now on 1.1.4, unlocked.
Seems like this time there's less 'hacking' and more sekrit bullshit - which I'd expect if the 'dev team' were planning to sell their code (including the polished GUI, which you'd only need for a commercial product) - but they claim they aren't. Seems very very fishy to me, unless it's all about making sure Apple settle down before they release anything.

And as far as the 'Pwnage Tool' (lame name) is concerned - so far it appears that it will only jailbreak, not unlock the baseband firmware. Which means there's still a large challenge for anyone to pick up. The 'dev team' aren't the only hackers in the world...

Hey guys,
Its a shame that you have to explain yourselves like this, but I think it helps. What you say makes perfect sense now.
What difference does it make if we don't have the 2.0 software on our phones yet? Its not like they stopped working without it. Its better to wait and get something perfected and hassle free then to risk the safty of our phones.
Thanks for all your efforts and keep up the good work :)

Get angry at your government too. There should be anti competitive laws so no-one has a given monopoly. In Australia and other places where this exists, multiple carriers offer the iPhone, albeit locked to the carrier you buy the phone from, or pay a fee to unlock it. Yes to buyer freedom, No to corporate monopolies.

Good for you! I for one would prefer a well-tested program next week than a kludgy hack tomorrow!

The eyes of the world are on you!

most of us here are "beggars" as we dont have the skills to hack this stuff ourselves and we have to rely on your. As we all know beggars cant be chosers so some of these posts beggars belief. The day a beggar walks up to me and asks me "so WHEN will I get my money?" there will be some trouble..

Dev Team: some of us are retarded, some of us impatient and some of us patient. I am looking forward to your fix WHEN it comes. I am in no hurry although my iPhone is stuck in restore mode after having attempted the upgrade :-)

Cheers,
Eric

Did you see what just happened? The Dev team just released a Pwnage on the whiners!

Ernest Cunningham — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:49:57 -0000

Well well well.
Looks like we have a whole lot of people coming in here knowing half truths.

I unlocked my first iphone as geo was posting the info for the first HW unlock.

What people do is catch feelings because of what somebody said on some blog, let their emotions run without facts and mouth off about things they know nothing, or at best very little about.

There is much the "Dev team" owe to gehot and his work (and vice-versa). We the user of their unlocks owe them even more.

Give respect where respect is due. And thats to both Geohot and the Dev Team.

Keep up the works guys.

John G — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 19:17:54 -0000

As someone who previously criticized the team and their release date slip, I will say that this explanation makes a lot of sense to me. Way to be guys, looking forward to pwnage 2.0, when it's ready.

Yeah you're prob right :D
the weather is terrible and it doesnt help that i have work which is directing and to my luck i have a shooting already next thursday in this terribly HOT weather. wish i could hide under the covers in the a/c but a man gotta do what he gotta do right :D

and believe me waiting for the pwnage tool to unlock 2.0 is my have fun with version 2.0 while waiting till the iphone 3G gets released here officially :D so i am in no hurry, i mean i am but when the egyptian vodafone customer service that should be selling the iphone 3g before years end doesnt even know there is a 3G iphone and simply tells me yesterday that apple didnt make a 3G iphone. i am sure me waiting for the pwnage tool is so easy to waiting for the 3G to be released here :D

Benji the Kid — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:48:02 -0000

I'm as eager as any to get the tool... But I've tried a lot of shit out there, and think you are abosolutely right in your strategy.
