It's full-on innuendo time around the internet today, as the plucky iPhone Dev Team release their Revirginizer which promises to take your bricked iPhone back to pristine, innocent Apple goodness.  Intended to help out the many people who unlocked their iPhones and then found them to be broken when they attempted to upgrade to firmware version 1.1.1, it should restore handsets unlocked via most methods to a state ready to play nicely with Apple's updates.

The full process is a convoluted affair, so happily Dev Team member daurnimator has coded up an automated script which should make the whole thing a lot more straightforward.  Of course, the problem with that is that people who have generally little idea of what they're doing could inappropriately use the code, so this is definitely one of those situations where if you're not sure, consult the Dev Team forum beforetrying anything.  I'm pretty sure they'd rather help you prior to a big palaver, rather than have to deal with your wailing and general beleaguered outpourings afterwards!

As ever, hacking your iPhone can damage it and will likely impact on your warranty with Apple and potentially contravene the contract you signed with them and AT&T.  Of course, if your iPhone is currently bricked and in need of revirginizing, you've probably been one of the naughty 250,000 hackers already!  If you try, let us know in the comments as to how you get on...
