Revirginizing Tool Unbricks Hacked iPhones
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
iPhone owners that "bricked" their unlocked handheld with the 1.1.1 software update have a new way to bring it back to life thanks to the efforts of the iPhone Elite Dev Team. The groups Revirginizing Tool promises to repair damage caused by the original anySIM unlock.
The step-by-step procedure isnt for the technically challenged, but once completed will returns an unlocked and bricked iPhone to working order and supports upgrading to iPhone software version 1.1.1.
Scripts have begun appearing to help automate the process, but for now a little Unix command line work is still necessary.
Many iPhone owners that chose to unlock their combination iPod and smartphone found out the hard way that updating from software version 1.0.2 to version 1.1.1 left them with an unusable unit. Apple did issue warnings ahead of the software update warning that procedures to free the iPhone from AT&T could leave the device unusable after software updates were applied.
The Revirginizing Tool is free, and available for download at the Google Code Web site.
