Confirmed: Bricked iPhones Rise From the Grave With Firmware 1.1.3

Good news from Gizmodo for everyone who bought an unlocked iPhone.

For all those unlocked iPhones out there that were bricked after attempting firmware upgrades, we have some great news. It appears that Apple's new 1.1.3 iPhone firmware rewrites either most or all of the phone's firmware, allowing for bricked iPhones to be brought back to life.

If this sounds too good to be true, watch the video. We tested it on our own dead iPhone that was originally unlocked with AnySIM and later bricked by an attempted upgrade.
