Full Interactive iPhone Shell Obtained with Hardware Hack

Via hackint0sh.org (Poster = Geohot) -

Your friends at #iPhone made a major breakthrough this morning.
we got a serial console working, here is how
the serial has the same pinouts as iPod serial
use a 6.8kish resistor from pin 21 to gnd
tie pin 11-sergnd to the real ground
use iphoneinterface to send the following commands in recovery mode:
setenv debug-uarts 1
saveenv
reboot

that should work
IT GIVES YOU A FULL INTERACTIVE SHELLI
REPEAT, A FULL INTERACTIVE SHELL

The command list is:http://iphone.fiveforty.net/geohot/cmdlist.txt

You need a level convertor, like the max 232 to make this work

This hack appears to use the iphoneinterface - which can be found here.
