The iPhone Dev Team's Pwnage tool is set for public release tomorrow. The tool allows you to upgrade any iPhone with the latest firmware from Apple, modified to make it work with any compatible carrier in any part of the world, and install any application, as well as adding custom payloads, additional software like SSH, FTP, and other applications.
iPhone Dev Team的Pwnage工具将于明天向公众发布。这个工具将允许你用最新的Apple固件升级任意一部iPhone，使这些最新固件能在世界上所有地方的移动运营商网络下运行，可以安装任何应用程序，可以增加例如SSH，FTP等其他应用程序。
Update: Due to legalities the Pwnage tool has been delayed. We'll keep you updated with any release information as we get it. [iPhone Dev Team]
最新进展1：由于法律原因，Pwnage工具将推迟发布，我们将随时向大家公布最新发布信息。[iPhone Dev Team]
Update: Video of project Pwonage after the jump. The beta 2.0 firmware that comes with the iPhone SDK has been modified to unlock the iPhone and run any application. Part of the Pwnage Project, the hacked firmware will allow you to do anything you want, including the installation of both official and unofficial apps, and even patches. We got the exclusive details directly from the DevTeam, including the fact that it is going to be extremely hard for Cupertino to close this new hole:
最新进展2：我们已经修改了和iPhone SDK一起发布的2.0 Beta版固件，现在可以解锁iPhone并运行任何程序。作为Pwnage项目的一部分，这个被破解的固件将允许你在iPhone上作任何你想做的事情，包括安装官方和非官方的应用程序，甚至于补丁。我们从DevTeam直接拿到这个独家信息，事实上目前Cupertino（苹果总部）要修补这个漏洞已经十分困难了。
pwned firmware means it's custom [firmware], you can have it install anything you would ever want :-) Pwned works with some magic, it will be hard to close but nothing is impossible (from Apple) with a mindtwist. But first, we will enjoy :)
They told us that this is all part of their previous Pwnage project, which instead of trying to hack into the iPhone, directly patches the firmware itself to both unlock it, so you can use the iPhone with any carrier you want, and allow you to install any applications you want. You can see how it works here:
Pwnage的定制固件意味着你可以安装你想要的任何东西:-)。虽然这使苹果更难修补漏洞，但以Apple的智商没有事情是不可能的。但在此之前，我们可以先享受:-)。项目组告诉我们他们之前的这个Pwnage项目通过直接修改固件本身来解锁，而不是试图在固件基础上加破解，这使iPhone能在任何运营商网络下运行，可以安装任何应用程序。
According to the Dev Team, the custom 2.0 firmware (technically, 1.2.0,) is now up and running without problems in many of their iPhones, running unsigned applications without a single problem. However, current Installer.app applications need to be changed: "they changed lots of the API, a lot. We will see how much has to be changed to the Toolchain [the previous development tool for iPhone independent developers] to still work after 2.0."
根据Dev Team项目组的介绍，他们的自制版的2.0固件（或者说1.2.0）现在已经在他们很多部iPhone上毫无问题地运行了，所有的无数字签名应用程序也运行正常。然而目前的Installer程序需要修改一下。“Apple修改了很多API（应用程序接口），我们要看一下他们的改动使我们需要在多大程度上修改我们的Toolchain（之前的iPhone独立开发者的开发工具）使它仍能在2.0下工作。
The best news, however, is this: "the hacked 1.2 firmware works with anything. AT&T and others, it's pwned. And Apple will not really be able to patch it this time... somehow :-)"
当然最好的消息是：“破解版的1.2固件在任何情况下都能运行，AT&T和其他运营商。在某种程度上说Apple这次已经不能真正去修补它了。”
I'm flabbergasted. As Han Solo would say, "that's one in a million, kid!" Once again.
对此我目瞪口呆。正如Han Solo再次说的：“孩子，他们只有百万分之一的机会”
The cool thing here is that Dev Team told us that this is 1) a true unlock and 2) Apple will have a very difficult time closing this hole. That's the news, not just jailbreak—in fact, it's not even jailbreak in the classic sense. It's built-in the hacked firmware, which allows for installation of any application, unsigned or "Apple Approved"
这里DevTeam告诉我们的酷事是：1）真正的解锁；2）Apple很难修补这个漏洞。这里不仅仅是jailbreak，事实上甚至不是传统意义上的越狱，这是内建的破解版固件，可以安装所有程序，包括无数字证书签名版的和那些Apple认证的。
In other words, true carrier and applications independence. And for a long time.
换句话说，真正的与具体运营商和应用程序无关，而且在很长时间内都是这样。
Note: as you can see, the Dev Team is still working hard in making the iPhone a completely open, carrier-independent platform. If you want to help them, please send a Paypal donation to

注：正如你看到的，DevTeam仍在为使iPhone成为彻底开放和无运营商绑定的平台而努力工作。如果你想帮助她，请通过Paypal向
