g0tcha and I finally managed to get the NCK (unlock code) value from the french iPhone
with the help of Geohot. Thanks mate.
It looks like this: “UnlockCode” = “NO=111111111111111&”;
The ‘1′ are to be replaced with digits, so I guess that the unlock code is 15 digits long.
Way too long for a bruteforce attack…
We doubt the unlock code has any correlation with any device ids, it is more likely
that Apple has it stored in a database for every single iPhone.
Reversing continues…
More detais in the extended post…
The NCK code is transfered during activation of your iPhone.
A plist file is created on the iPhone, and then sent to Apple webserver.
If the iPhone is unlocked in Apple’s database, it will reply with the unlock code.
We have managed to send an activation request to apple webserver and catch the NCK.

No need to erase people’s comments asking for progress reports. It is totally logical for them to do so, no?

I can’t stand all those insults that kids spit here. I’m tired of all those whining and crying people. I do not live from hacking, it’s not my full time job, I do it for free. Lot of people from the dev team, just quit because of such rude persons. Please respect people’s work. We are not your hacking slaves.

Don’t let all the kiddies get you down, some of us out there really appreciate all the work you guys are putting on this. Rock on mate!
Merry Xmas!

Yeah man, I can’t stand these ungrateful little dumbass kids whining all the time. Yeah I am also VERY frustrated that I paid money for a phone that I had now for more than a month (almost two) and can’t use it. Like the man said, they do it for free so shut the hll up and stop all the bitchin’ before we all suffer and don’t get shit!
BTW keep up the good work guys and get rest if you need it!

@ Miguel, that shit is a scam and it has already been proven. Completely FALSE. If it were that easy, everyone of us would have our Phones unlocked!

Thanks

hey man, i know that must be pretty difficult to do the unlock, besides i don`t understand anything about the processes you need to do so… i hate the people that comes here and insult you but actually some of them just want to know the progress you are getting with the iphone that many people helped to pay… that is a quite cool reward by the way.

deco: send me your a.plist to macosxgeek@gmail.com and I will send you back your NCK. Cheers.

On your very own blog… an ad by Google shows up for an OTB 1.1.2 unlock (”If you have an iPhone out-of-the-box running Firmware 1.1.2 (i.e new iPhones bought in the UK) then our software will currently do the following for you:
- unlock all functions of the iPhone”:
http://www.iphoneunlocklive.com/
Is that a scam?
What about http://www.iphoneunlocked.eu/
Another potential scam?
Thanks for any tips about these outfits.
From another eager US OTB 1.1.2..

Pete, none of those sites got a solution for unlocking OTB 1.1.2. IPSF is not scam, the other one I dunno…
