Sherif Hashim has discovered another exploitable iPhone baseband crash which could bring an unlock for iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2.

@sherif_hashim: since nearly all my received tweets ask about both BB, I can report very early "initial" 1st step success on both sides, calmed down? :)

@mrpauldurden: @sherif_hashim very early first steps means.. you've found a crash that can potentially prove to be an expoitable vulnerability?

@sherif_hashim: @mrpauldurden a bit more sure than this, yeah

Hashim previously found a baseband crash in iOS 4.0 that was instrumental in bringing the unlock for devices on that firmware.

Veeence suggests that the unlock won't be released till iOS 4.2; however, it will still support iOS 4.1.

@veeence: A new exploitable baseband crash has been found. An unlock will very likely be released after iOS 4.2 and will unlock both BB's of 4.1 & 4.2

We'll bring you more information as it becomes available.

if an unlock comes out for the latest jailbreak, then i will upgrade. i don't even need the unlock as i use at&t, but it's nice having the luxury, ya know. right now, i'm still on the stock iOS 4 from the iphone 4's box opening. i have 3rd party apps for the HDR feature now. to cut down on apps, i'd like to have apple's native HDR. bring on the unlock, puh-lease! good job too, mr. hashim.

I don't think you did it right then cuz I opened tinyumbrella, turned the server on, ran the backup and when I went to upgrade I kicked it out and the baseband was still the same. I didn't know what I was doing so yeaaa...
