Finally! After weeks of hard work, MuscleNerd and PlanetBeing (of Android port for iPhone fame) of the iPhone Dev Team has managed to unlock the new iPhone 4 running on iOS 4. For those of you who don’t know, carrier unlock for US iPhone 4s on AT&T required complete rewrite of ultrasn0w software because of the new baseband OS in iPhone 4.

Looks like I now have an unlocked iPhone 4.

And now that we have both the next version of Spirit like all iOS device userland jailbreak, and unlock for iPhone 4 ready, the wait is now probably for Apple to push the next firmware update i.e. iOS 4.0.1 / 4.1 for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and 3G before these jailbreak and unlock tools are made available for public consumption. Stay tuned as will let you know whenever these new tools are available for primetime use! [via Twitter]
UPDATE 1: Another image has been posted, this time with Cydia open.

UPDATE 2: Here is a video proof of it in action:

To clarify from the start, this isn’t a release of any sort but rather news on an upcoming release. Although we’ve heard a lot about jailbreaking from several different hackers, Geohot has been rather quiet. This doesn’t mean that he isn’t working on anything. George Hotz (Geohot) has currently been in France for the Nuit Du Hack conference. An event started in 2003 by Hackerz Voice team, and inspired by world famous DEF CON, “Nuit Du Hack” is one of the oldest French underground hacking conferences to date.
During one of the “talks” held during the conference, George gave a presentation in which he discussed the discovery of his newest bootrom exploit, which by the sounds of it, can eventually jailbreak or “pwn” every iPhone and iPod Touch available, including the iPhone 4. It sounds like something that will be usable over and over again for any new iPhone devices that are released in the future. The name he has given to this new project of his is “pwned4life”.
