They are able to unlock the 1.1.3 OOTB iphones which comes with 04.03.13 baseband firmware. After unlocking the phone will work with the default (04.03.13) firmware. When the unlock was attempted, the main firmware used to tbe 1.1.2 to activate and jailbreak. But with the recent hack to activate and jailbreak the 1.1.3 firmware, the phone can be fully unlocked and working at 1.1.3.
It is not clear if they downgraded the bootloader from 4.6 to 3.9 which can be hacked. There is not mention of it in the article. Mostly they would have downgraded it. One interesting thing here is to know how they downgraded it without the secpack of 1.1.4. Probably they found a flaw in the bootloader, by which they can downgrade the bootloader. If that is the case, its a great news because all the future phones with 4.6 bootloader can be hacked. I guess apple would not upgrade the bootloader so soon.
The detailed procedure to do this hardware unlock is not yet available. I am not sure what they are waiting for. May be they are waiting for the release of 1.1.4 so that apple does not fix the flaw in the bootloader by then.
