Hardware unlocking tutorial for 1.1.2 OOTB is available

It is available at unlock.no

The tutorial is not for the weak hearted. The procedure involves opening the iphone case and connecting the testpoints on the PCB board using needles . It also involves carefully scratching the trace lines to expose the underlying metal. The baseband downgrade should be performed while the testpoints are connected. There is no other way the baseband can be downgraded as of now.

Because the new 1.1.3 firmware is released and the hackers are working hard on extracting the secpack from it, we can expect some software based solutions soon. But the enhanced security on the new phones is giving them the hardships.
