MAKE: Blog: Finding JTAG on the iPhone

Finding JTAG on the iPhone

Hardest
The iPhone is unlocked, thanks to some soldering from a kid in NJ... love it -

Coming into this project I didn't know that cell phones used at commands, or that there was a distinction between kernel/user space. I had once in my life looked at ida before this, and found it too confusing. I still can't reverse well, but this is definitely something I want to learn.

There will be (and are) software versions of this, iPhones unlocked everywhere - it's also unlikely Apple or AT&T could stop this since the latest updates to copyright laws allows unlocking phones to get them on a network...

Kids, adults - everyone, electronics is fun.
