Unlock Your iPhone 3G At Hardware Level

Apple’s iPhone 2.2 firmware update has almost made the iPhone 3G impossible to unlock, so if you’re having trouble unlocking the phone, and are holidaying in Hanoi, then you might want to check out one of the local cell phone stores, as there is a businessman called Tuan Anh Do, who is skillful enough to unlock your iPhone 3G at the hardware level. This is done by dismantling the phone, taking the baseband chip out, getting the information to a file, and then removing the locking data using a hex editor and reprogramming the chip with the newly programmed file. It sure sounds like a lot of work, but you have to admit, being able to use your iPhone 3G on any network is extremely tempting. Currently the charge is only $80, so it would sound like a steal to many people. If you’re worried that the delicate process might brick your phone, the shop owner is willing to compensate you a new phone if he bricks your iPhone, but so far he hasn’t had the need to do so just yet.
