Your iPhone should be jailbroken before proceeding.
Launch Cydia and search for ‘Element’ and …

I searched all over the internet but none were reporting positively about 1.1.1 Jailbreak let alone Cingular working on it. This post at TechDadBlog initiated hope after clueless searches on Google for 1.1.1 hack. Vaughan and Mike did a great job on trying different alternatives. Finally, with …

Well,the word is (un)officially out from iPhone Dev WiKi and Nanocr confirming that iPhone which has never been activated can be used a glorified iPod with WiFi features. Both the sources followed similar approaches and attained an even similar results – Independence day gift indeed 🙂
Though the entire process of achieving the iPod and WiFi functionalities of iPhone without even doing anything AT&T is recommended forhardcore geeks at the moment cos’ it is pretty complicated.
