How-To: Update to Unlocking the Apple iPhone

George has posted on his blog some updated information regarding his steps to unlock the iPhone. They can be read below.

First of all, I don't solder anymore on the phones I unlock. Just get tweezers with a sharp point, scratch away the trace, and use the two prongs on the tweezers to touch the side of the cap and the trace. It's much much easier.
Second, kiwi66 pointed out and fixed some problems with ieraser not connecting to the bootloader. The download link has been updated.
Third, you cannot reboot between ieraser and iunlocker. The wifi will stop working, which I saw happened to several people on the forums. If you do reboot, simply make a launch daemon to run bbupdater -f myver.fls That restores the firmware.
Also using that termcap I have linked seems to make ssh and minicom init slowly. Anyone find a better way, perhaps with just the vt100 file?
