What happens when you try to unlock an iPhone but you do not really know what you are doing? The picture says it all! One guy involved in this process said:

“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. Then we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF, up it went in smoke, I think my colleague must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. It was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burned my fingers. So, this is for sure 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.

The morale of the story is: wait until the hack appears. Don’t do it yourself or let somebody that knows what he is doing make the needed changes. Luckily nobody got hurt!
