Hackers “have owned the filesystem” of iPhone

by DJ Neawedde | 10th July 2007

Now we’ve heard about some of the hacks taking place and unlocking and such, but I wanted to wait until a major breakthrough like this occurred to write about it.

Some peeps at the IRC channel #iphone now have complete access of iPhone’s filesystem. apparently the tutorial is called “How to Escape Jail,” and Engadget says, they show you how to “enable custom ringtones, wallpapers and more for your iPhone”. Yes! Not being able to to do custom ‘tones on iPhone was a bummer for me (along with other things); and thought you can already do custom wallpapers?. There is no tool for the general public. maybe soon though, but the picture above is offered as evidence.

      This is really cool for iPhone owners that want to take advantage of it.
