Lock That iPhone To Avoid the Brick

Earlier today, we told you that your modified iPhone could get bricked with the next firmware update and this includes anyone who happens to be rocking an unlocked iPhone (that is a modification, after all). Thankfully, the guys and gals at the Unofficial Apple Weblog have put together a tutorial that teaches you how to relock your iPhone and thus avoid ending up with a bricked glossy wonder when Apple rolls out its next update.
