The 1.0.1 Update

As far as anyone can tell the update to firmware rev 1.0.1 will erase everything on a hacked iPhone. It will not, however, prevent the iPhone from being hacked again as jailbreak, iphoneinterface and friends will continue to work normally.

What I've done

1. installed dropbear
2. installed binaries
3. installed sshd and removed dropbear
4. installed terminal, tetric, hello, zune, and a lot more.
5. built a toolchain [updated 12 Aug. 2007]
6. working on sip phone [updated 12 Aug. 2007]
