Thinking about this, I know how I could've done the unlock. I'm so lazy. This might be what yellowsn0w does already; theres a little object code in your source, so I don't know :-)

1. copy task_sim into memory
2. patch task_sim in the usual way(too bad i don't really understand the baseband at all)
3. modify the nucleus task struct to use the in memory task_sim(although idk why theres no execute on the stack, normal ram seems ok)
4. reset the sim card

no real reversing required. i could've had this in july dammit :-P

i also think this approach might solve some peoples problems with it dying after 10 minutes

nx

heh, I think it is a standard thing for ARM for the stack to be nx. btw, of course there was reversing required, how else would you have found the injection hack itself x)
