Iphone firmware 1.1.4 released and also hacked

Iphone's lastest firmware, 1.1.4, is released a few days back. And the good news is that it is already hacked. Currently the hack is only for 3.9 bootloaders. So, all the people who dared to do hardware hacking has a reason to be proud. I am sure this hack will be available soon for the 4.6 bootlloader also. With 3.9 bootloader, currently you can activate + jailbreak + unlock your phone. There are more than one tutorials on how to hack the new firmware. Here you go. Tutorial1, Tutorial2, MacTutorial.

If your phone is already on 1.1.3, need not rush for 1.1.4. Because the 1.1.4 firmware do not have any new features its just bug fixes. If your bootloader is 4.6, you need not really wait. There is method to downgrade you 4.6 bootloader to 3.9. Here is a tutorial on how to downgrade your 4.6 bootloader using ziphone.

Be careful about the fake versions of ziphone making rounds, which claim that they can unlock 1.1.4. I would download it only from ziphone.org. Zibri, the guy behind the ziphone, is yet to release the new version of ziphone which can hack 1.1.4. He is doing the testing. Keep looking at ziphone.org

Update: Ziphone 2.5 is released. It is one step solution to unlocking 1.1.4 . visit www.ziphone.org
I restored to 1.1.4 and unlocked mine.
