Over at the Hackint0sh forums, a couple of humans decided to unlock their iPhone, little did they know, opening their phone after completing the software, was not such a great notion. At least they now have a door stop, brick, frisbee, and tons of other useful tasks.

We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening the iphone. The antenna cover was a bit tricky but eventually it came off. thereupon we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF,

up it went in smoke, I think my collegue must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. I was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burnt my fingers. So, that is for certain the most difficult part of the whole process. I don’t know what he did, as I had just stepped out of the room to fetch something when I heard a scream…they got such a fright.
