If you accidently updated to the stock iPhone OS 3.1.3 from iTunes and are locked out, you maybe in with a luck as an unlocking tool is said to be out soon. George Hotz has confirmed via his twitter account that he has a working exploit which can unlock the latest 05.12.01 baseband which Apple bundled when they released iPhone 3.1.3 for iPhone and iPod touch earlier this month. While no ETA was given, judging by his tweet, it may not be too long before we get the updated version of blacksn0w which can unlock 05.12.01 baseband on iPhone 3.1.3 firmware.

Unlock 05.12.01 Baseband

Last week, another iPhone hacker and developer named Sherif Hashim also found an exploit for the latest baseband. This exploit was sent to iPhone Dev-Team and they confirmed that it was working but didn’t give any ETA on when or if they are going to release a tool which is going to unlock iPhone 3.1.3 05.12.01 Baseband for iPhone 3G and 3GS. Maybe they don’t want to waste this all important exploit for this minor update and instead will use it when the major update such as iPhone 3.2 or iPhone 4.0 is released with the next-gen iPhone 4G.

UPDATE 1: Apologies for raising your hope as now it seems like Geohot is not going to release the update to blacksn0w this weekend. “Motorama this weekend” in his tweet referred to an event where he is going to showcase his robot.

Just came across this next-generation iPhone 4G concept image which shows off a Super AMOLED screen, a front-facing camera for video conferencing via iChat, and an LED Flashlight on the backside for the 5 megapixel camera. We all know how AMOLED screens produces crisp and vivid contrasts compared to the traditional LED displays on iPhones. The recently announced Samsung Wave has gone a step further by introducing Super AMOLED display technology which is an improved version of AMOLED, seen on the devices like Nexus One.

The difference between the traditional LED on iPhone 3GS vs AMOLED display on Nexus One can be seen in the image below.

Nexus One vs iPhone 3GSYou can clearly see how washed-out the iPhone 3GS display (on top) looks in comparison to the one on Nexus One.

And here is that conceptual next-generation iPhone 4G image with Super AMOLED display, a front facing camera and LED flash. Credit for the image goes to an Italian forum member named Gekino.
