The iPhone hackers over at IRC channel #iphone are making progress on hacking the iPhone even though they faced serious roadblocks. Next step? Ringtones!

Here’s their latest report:

"The bootloader is basically a dead end. Everything that goes into it must be signed, and without apples 1024-bit RSA private key, this isn’t going to happen. Fortunately we have another in. We have basically full command over the file system and can upload, copy, and run files. I’ll say this, ringtones would be a *trivial* thing to do now. We know the radio is accessible though software from from thisbbupdate dump. Once the toolchain is working, we can write a program to write to /dev/tty.baseband, and finally unlock this thing."
