How to relock your iPhone - reverse unlocking process before updating 1 Year ago  
Apple's gunning for all you iPhone unlockers out there. Cupertino's upcoming WiFi iTunes Music Store-enabling update for the iPhone will most likely break your unlocked iPhone's firmware due to changes made by the unlocking process. So, what's an iPhone unlocker to do? Well, you can try this iPhone relocking method prior to updating your iPhone:

* (Take out your SIM from your iPhone.)–Still checking on this step.
* Download the 1.0.2 firmware to your computer and unzip it. It uses a .ipsw extension but your unzip program should still work. Change the extension if you have to.
* Extract the ramdisk as such: dd if=009-7698-4.dmg of=ramdisk.dmg bs=512 skip=4 conv=sync
* Mount the extracted ramdisk.
* From the ramdisk, copy /usr/local/bin/bbupdater, /usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.eep, and /usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.fls to your iPhone. Place these into a folder on the OS partition (such as /bbupdate) and not into a folder on /var/root. The /var/root partition is set noexec and you cannot run programs from there.
* Disable com.apple.CommCenter.plist–either using UIctl or launchctl: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
* On the iPhone, navigate to the folder where you stored bbupdater and the eep and fls files.
* Run bbupdater as such: ./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep
* Reload comm center: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
* Reactivate with your favorite AT&T SIM. I personally like using iASign.

There's no guarantee that this will work or will successfully reverse the unlock process, but it's worth a shot. If you decide to try it out, drop us a line and let us know how it goes.
