Teenager George Hotz, aka GeoHot, the original iPhone unlocker is back. In a post to his personal blog he states that he has successfully unlocked a 1.1.2 firmware and bootloader 4.6 iPhone. Better yet, he posts the not-for-dummies version of the directions to downgrade the bootloader to version 3.9 in preparation for running AnySim. We haven’t tried that ourselves so remember, as GeoHot himself states, that hardware method “could brick your iPhone.”

You haven’t upgraded to 1.1.3 already have you? whether so, you’re stuck with AT&T.

Update: We’re now hearing that a software unlock for 1.1.2 / 4.6 iPhones is right around the corner. So don’t crack that case just yet kids.

[Thanks, fantastico]
