Planetbeing of the iPhone Dev Team has just tweeted a video where he explains the current state of unlocking and jailbreaking the iPhone 4. In the video, he shows off his iPhone 4 which is unlocked and proves to the audience it is unlocked by showing off the Rogers (Canadian wireless phone company) symbol on the iPhone 4 itself as well as by dialing 611 and putting the call on speaker, at which point a Rogers automated message goes off. He continues on to explain that the current unlocking method "sucks," is very sloppy, and takes five minutes to fully run through. The plans are to go back and clean it up a little so it is much more efficient at accomplishing its goal, the unlock the iPhone 4. Planetbeing then moves on to discuss how Apple has made specific countermeasures to prevent jailbreaking and unlocking the way it has been done in the past. This time around, the iPhone Dev Team has thought of several different ways to accomplish the goal and they have only successfully done it using one of these ideas. Musclenerd is going to try approaching the idea using a different method and see how that goes. What this means for all of us? Waiting. Planetbeing did mention that we would not want to use the unlock and jailbreak at it's current state and we firmly believe he knows what he is doing and what's he talking about, so if waiting is what he suggests, waiting is what we shall do (although we don't really have a choice anyway). Check out the video below:
