A video of an iPhone unlock, from start to end. That’s what Engadget has put up on their site for all of you to view. They’ve written quite a few posts about the iPhone unlocking, but this video is really something new. Both HD and normal version is available in MP4 and AVI, as well as an embedded version on their site. This is what they did:

1. Started with AT&T SIM inserted
2. Inserted T-Mobile SIM, showed that it produces invalid SIM error (expected behavior for a locked iPhone)
3. Connected to iPhone over SSH
4. Transferred iPhoneSIMfree unlock app over SCP
5. Restarted SpringBoard (iPhone default application launcher)
6. Ran iPhoneSIMfree app
7. When complete, iPhone shows that T-Mobile SIM no longer produces invalid SIM error, instead asks for activation (expected behavior for an iPhone that has a valid SIM, but is not yet activated)
   Prep for re-activation off camera using iAsign (phone is now unlocked, but still activated with AT&T)
8. Back on camera: activate iPhone with T-Mobile SIM using iAsign
9. Make test call to another phone
10. Activate iPhone once more with AT&T SIM using iAsign
    

Thanks, Engadget.
