iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 is available

Don't update if you've got an unlocked phone, otherwise it'll become inoperable (at least until another hack is created).

Well that didn't take long...

	Update 3:26PM: OK, I have updated to 1.1.1 in my unlocked iPhone. It works. You have to put the AT&T card before starting. Video upcoming. Testing of unlock too.

I'm a moron, I updated the software to 1.1.1 and now iTunes says both my AT&T and Rogers sims are invalid.. Tried downgrading the software but it wouldn't let me..

My phone was unlocked using the hardware method. Guess I'll have to wait for the dev team to release some new software

why did you do this? Did you have automatic updates turned on in iTunes and it updated by itself? I've turned auto updates off in iTunes, but I'm still afraid to connect the phone to my Mac! Or did it ask you if you wanted to update and you said yes?

It asked me to update and I clicked yes

What was the version of the firmware that the unlocking worked on? Is that still available?

If I bought a new iphone it would probably have the new 1.1.1 on it right?

'Aint necessarily so. New firmware takes a while to trickle down from the factory floor to store shelves. The stock that's selling right now ought not to have the new firmware. But how long that will continue to be the case is anyone's guess.

Best advice to anyone out there using an unlocked iPhone is to hold off on any updates to either the firmware or iTunes until the community has had a chance to work its hack-fu on both.

I'm unlocked via turbo sim and as much as I want the wifi store on my phone, I'll definitely be holding off until someone can confirm it doesn't affect my unlock.

i'm pretty sure i've read this, but you can install the previous versions of the firmware correct?

Not after you've upgraded to 1.1.1.
