Breaking News: Firmware 1.1.2 hacked - before it’s even released

Hack into the future!

Great Scott! TUAW’s Erica Sadun reports that the soon-to-be-released Firmware 1.1.2, which comes out today in Europe with the release of the UK iPhone under carrier O2, has already been hacked - at the least the iPod version of the firmware, anyway. The new version, like its predecessor, disables adding third party apps and relocks the iPhone. At least jailbreaking the iPod Touch won’t be a problem anymore, and presumably the iPhone too.

The iPod/iPhone hack team has succeeded with the main task, but are still hard at work debugging their handiwork and are adding safety features. Stay tuned for further details.

In other news, Conceited Software released today OktoPrep Ver. 1.0, which “prepares 1.1.1 phones for TouchFree jailbreak.” Not quite sure what it really does, but it popped up on Installer today. The 13.9kb app is available when you run and update Installer on your iPhone.

    AJ, didn’t anyone tell you not to do what you did? Oh, well…

    Am not well-versed in restores and unlocks, so I can’t really help you personally, but may I refer you to the members of my home users group Philmug? I think they’d be more than eager to help you out.

    The link is in the Blogroll section on the right of the page.

    Good luck.
