Members of the iPhone Dev Wiki team have created a restore process which
allows some users to regain full use of their
iPhone if it has
been disabled by
Apple's latest
firmware update.
The process will take the phone from the latest version 1.1.1 firmware back
to the previous 1.0.2 version, allowing users to reactivate the iPhone and
regain use of its features.
By reverting to the previous version, however, users will be locked out of
the security, stability and feature improvements that the upgrade offers.
The hack will also not help users who cracked their iPhone by changing the
firmware of its cellular radio using the 'free SIM unlock' tool. Reverting to
the old firmware leaves these users without phone, SMS or Edge functionalities.
Despite its limitations, the reversal allows users to regain control over
phones rendered useless after Apple released its update last week.
