Software unlock for 4.6 bootloader released

Geohot found a flaw in the new 4.6 bootloader. This a very good news for all the people having 1.1.2OOTB & 1.1.3OOTB phones and waiting for software unlock. This is also a good news for some people who bricked their 1.1.2 OOTB phones. They can upgrade to 1.1.3 version to unbrick their phone and unlock it. See the details about the exploit from geohot's blog.

Zibree developed a nice easy to use GUI based application that can unlock the phones. It is called ziphone. This application is a conglomerate of different tools one has to use to perform this software unlocks. So, one need not bothering about collecting all the needed files from different sites. This application performs other tasks also besides performing the unlock. It can jailbreak and activate the phones also. It also has the capability to downgrade or erase the bootloader.
