Hi guys. I've been watching this thread closely for some time now. I have an iPhone 1st gen, and I'm willing to take it apart for the good of the DIY community! Well... sorta... I've already did so.
I thought I was VERY unlucky when I did the hardware unlock (1.1.2 OTB 4.6BL), just to find that 10 days later the soft unlock for my firmware was finally released.
Well... the tide has changed now, so, as my iPhone's case ia a little messed up, I have nothing to lose if I open it again (well... you never know when you'll short something, so ok, maybe I have something to lose
)
I've ordered some parts needed for the mod... They'll probably arrive within the next few days, so I'm gathering as much info as I can get before having at it.
I have a few questions to Jon (and to anyone willing to contribute) regarding the iphone's internals:
Are you sure that the line out output on the iphone uses ROUT2 and LOUT2? OUT3 and OUT4 are used to drive the internal speaker then? I'm a little concerned about removing the wrong caps and frying my little speaker
Does anyone knows where are the (or if there's any) final caps and inductors (like the ipod 5.5g) to be removed near the dock's ribbon cable connector pins?
I'm linking some hi-res pics that have been useful for me:

Thanks in advance for any help
