  You all are doing such an amazing job!

  I accidentally upgraded to 1.1.2 and thought I would have to wait for the 1.1.2 jailbreak to use my phone again. I was wrong.

  This worked PERFECTLY!

  Many thanks.

  Seems to be something wrong with the secpack. iEraser takes out the baseband ver but if you reboot it comes back.

  Hi
  In STEP 4 when i press “Enter DFU Mode” (because i get the error you mentioned), a dialogue box appears asking me to point it to the folder where i have uncompressed the Firmware files. I have tried pointing it to the relevant ipsw file itself and the extracted(with Expander 11) but it does not recognize any of them and gives the error.

  Are you close to coming up with a guide like this for Win?
  I have an 1.1.2, and have windows, so…..

  I REALLY hope you are close to making this downgrade in Windows.
  Thanks

• 21. admin replies at 12th November 2007, 10:03 am :

  kenji,

  In leopard, Archive Utility is same as BOM archive utility.

  And, the password is “dottie”.

  You should know it if you read our site a lot.

  gigawatts92,

  If you iPhone is bought in US and the bootloader is 3.9_M3S2 and not 4.6. This may work.

• 25. admin replies at 12th November 2007, 10:08 am :

  g,

  This only works for AT&T activated iPhone. It won’t work for any other hacked and unlocked iPhone. Don’t try it.

• 26. admin replies at 12th November 2007, 10:12 am :

  Marius, NORWAY and kareem,

  It actually works for Windows vista (or Windows…) if you know how to type the commands using Putty.

  I will soon upload another guide for Windows. Please be patient.

• 27. mrinal replies at 12th November 2007, 1:08 pm :

  there’s this news on tuaw.com about 1.1.2 jailbreak software release….
  it tells how to downgrade and then jailbreak.. pls comment on this ………

  but i m not sure if this method will allow to swap any sim card (i.e is it a complete unlock solution or not)

  i m eagerly waiting for a complete unlock + jailbreak +activation solution (to be used with any other simcard) for windows

  Dude. I am at work.

  I will soon off and help you out. I think it’s you didn’t locate the directory correctly. Did you upload the required pack?

• 31. admin replies at 12th November 2007, 9:45 pm :

  RSJJ,

  what error you got from iNdependence?

  And, you must choose iPhone 1.0.2 extracted firmware. Not 1.1.1 one.

• 32. admin replies at 12th November 2007, 9:47 pm :

  mrinal,

  The method mentioned by g should not work for unlocked iPhone. I am now trying the guide from hackint0sh to see whether it works to unlock 1.1.2 or not. Stay tuned.

  help needed?! i live in the uk and have a usa iphone. on thursday i accidentally tried to restore it with 112 firmware in itunes 7.5. it wouldn’t let me put phone into software recovery mode so i attached it to itunes anyway and hit restore – it began download and extracted but then i got a message saying restore failed due to insufficient memory on the iphone?

  does anyone know a) what i’ve done and b) how i can reVirginize my phone – would the above work for me?

  Big Brick,

  Did you try the iNdependence to get it into activation screen before you go for the downgrade?

• 37. Big Brick replies at 13th November 2007, 6:46 am :

  no haven’t tried any of the above yet as i’m not sure where I’m at? Histroy of phone as follows… USA 102 iphone, used independence for activation, jailbreak and 111 ready then upgrade to 111 – iphone Alley wifi jailbreak, all good. thursday home screen went blank (could still receive calls) couldn’t shut down to reboot would only sleep/lock. couldn’t put into software recovery mode? connected to iTunes, iphone with my i.d shown in browser (thought 112 update not being released till friday) so hit restore, download commenced, went into extraction then got insufficient memory message and all info N/A? still can’t put into recovery mode, just have dock and iTunes icon, nothing else.
  hope this clarifies. Thanks for your reply. Any advice?

  Cheers

  BIG Brick.

  Guido,
  I had the exact same problem yesterday (1.1.1 phone – down from 1.1.2; no AT&T signal – I also subscribe to AT&T.)
  I simply jailbroke my phone on 1.1.1 (used Safari on Wi-fi and visited jailbreakme.com,) installed Oktoprep then updated back to 1.1.2 (using the update option – without holding any keys.) Once on 1.1.2 I ran the jailbreak program for 1.1.2 (not without many troubles as I had to download this file to put in one of my ‘root’ folders, etc.) and success…now I’m on a 1.1.2 AT&T phone with Installer (and of course my choice of 3rd party apps.)
  Let me know if you have any more questions…

• 58. Ken replies at 14th November 2007, 12:14 pm :

  Admin,
  In step 4, I keep getting the error 1 message, why?

• 59. Ken replies at 14th November 2007, 12:41 pm :

  Try it like thousand time in step 4, can’t get over.
  Keep getting the same message which said “The IPhone”IPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1).”
  I did what the step say, rename the file to zip and extract it by StuffIt Expander, but when I use that file, the same message show up, oh by the way I am using win, so how am I supposed to put the Iphone into DFU mode, the screen only show the logo of iTunes and the plug with a arrow pointing toward it.
  Please Help~~~:(

  hi,

  i was performing this step,

  Step 8. Open Terminal. Type “ssh root@192.168.0.1″ (change 192.168.0.1 to your iPhone’s IP address). Type the following commands consequently. Make sure you press Enter key to execute it for each line:

  launchctl remove com.apple.CommCenter

  cd /usr/bin/

  bbupdater -v

  chmod +x ieraser

  ieraser

  bbupdater -v

  bbupdater -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls

  bbupdater -v

  I was somewhere around the 4-5 line of code, The Wifi connection got disconnected and not Wifi , bluetooth everything is gone.

  i Think the commcenter is disabled. Can any body tell me how to fix that.

• 63. admin replies at 14th November 2007, 8:45 pm :

  Ken,

  oh. You need to get it in DFU mode. To do so, try to select from iNdependence. If it does not work, than press home + power of iPhone, when the screen turns dark, keep holding home button and open iTunes. It will tell you in restore mode, and the screen should remain in dark, than restore it using the 1.1.1 or 1.0.2 software.

  Ken,

  I think you didn’t follow the steps clearly. Because you said it’s error 1013 at the end, then you should virgin and reflash the baseband after all. Than, upgrade to 1.1.1 and try jailbreakme.com or iNdependence method. Make sure you upgrade to 1.1.1

• 75. admin replies at 15th November 2007, 2:14 am :

• 79. Ken replies at 15th November 2007, 2:44 am :

  Oh yeah, i did evey steps, and as you write above, after we receive the error 1013, we should run the iNdepentence to activate the phone, and for me, windows, should use the AppTapp to activate the phone, but my situation is no matter how many times i run the AppTapp, my screen stay the same, only can dial for emergency call!!!No WiFi, or u tube.

• 80. admin replies at 15th November 2007, 3:21 am :

  Ken,

  No. That’s why I mean you didn’t follow the steps clearly. You should first go to Stage 2. Than go to stage 3. Did you upgrade your iPhone to 1.1.1? You should not run AppSnapp before you upgrade to 1.1.1.

  And hacking is dangerous.

• 81. Wolf replies at 15th November 2007, 3:38 am :

  Admin,

  don’t get me wrong. Your documentation worked perfectly fine. I went through the downgrad, the fugu and the baseband change sucessfully. Just getting then from 1.0.2 back to 1.1.1 following the Independence link strictly (and eventhere it worked correctly as described until step 12) Then I found myself back on 1.1.2

  Yes hacking is dangerous but guys make it less cumbersome. I did not loose anything nor did I brick my phone – just need a hint to get “safely” back to 1.1.1 => My thought would be: Getting in DFU mode and then restore in iTunes via Option + Click and the 1.1.1 firmware….

  Wolf,

  Sorry to say that to you. But I am really getting pissed since there are still lots of people didn’t follow the guide clearly. And than complain to me with anger by email or in comments. I also feel down that there are thousands of people reading those guides and only few people digg it and help the site.

  I am still working hard to make this site popular. Can’t get any fundings now.

• 84. admin replies at 15th November 2007, 3:48 am :

  Demi,

  Just select the whole extracted folder. Not to select one specific folder or DFU folder.

• 86. Wolf replies at 15th November 2007, 3:56 am :

  Admin, excuse my french but I don’t see a reason why I am pissing you off. I did follow your docs, I said it worked, I said that you guys make hacking less cumbersome. So this should come across as a compliment.

  I am happy be called “Blind Big Idiot” when you tell me where I did not follow the instructions. So please let me know.

  Just for clarity: I am now on 1.02 with correct IMEI and Baseband 3.14.08_G – the only question that I have is: On iNdependence – after the Pre 1.1.1 Upgrade – the doc says “UPDATE in iTunes” and here is where I struggle. Update means 1.1.2…..

  Sorry if I bother you – as said if I am alone here please call me BBI

  It is really hard for me to follow the steps since those are for Mac user, and I am using windows, so many thing is different, and wanna ask if there are another guide for win?
  Thanks any way~~

• 89. Wolf replies at 15th November 2007, 4:59 am :

  @Ken – just scroll up and read the second line where it says “(mac only, win guide coming soon.)” – hope that helps.

  @Admin – I claim victory as I was right. When you are using iNdependence to upgrade back from 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 – DO NOT follow the instruction and update your firmware! Do the Pre 1.1.1. Upgrade as described and in ITunes do a restore with Option+Click and the 1.1.1 firmware. After that go back to Independence until the phone is recognized and then follow the activation using the emergency dial. See here http://modmyifone.com/wiki/index.php/Jailbreak_the_iPhone_1.1.1_out_of_the_box

  Cheers,

  Aloha Admin!

  I’m on step 9 now. I could not find the “BOM Archive Utility”. When I right click at the zip file, I didn’t seem to see anything, except if I go to Stuffit>Archive> after that there are so many choices such as Stuff (.sitx), Stuff (.sit), Stuff and BinHex, Self-Extracting and BinHex, Stuff and MacBinary, Self-Extracting and MacBinary, Zip, Zip and UU, Tar, Tar and BZip, Tar and Gzip, Tar and Unix Compress, LHa…

  Not sure if I’m lost here, but please let me know if I need to download for Bom Arichive Utility before I can make a progress.

  I’m on Mac OSX Version 10.4.10.

  Connect to: ……should I put in the IP address here?
  Username: …..is this suppose to be my Mac user?
  Port:…..should I leave it blank here?

  There is Advanced SFTP Options too…do I need to check any box there?

  Hello,

  The things i have done: My iPhone came originally with software 1.1.1. i upgradet too 1.1.2. i have downgradet to 1.1.1 again, and downgradet to 1.0.2. I’m in fugu now, and i have written down the ip adress to the iPhone, when i click connect, it ask me for a password. I have entered “dottie” and ” alpine” with no luck. I tried to remove the “username” field but its telling me that i have to provide a username to continue. Can you help admin or anyone???, thnx

  Aosif

• 97. Wolf replies at 15th November 2007, 6:35 am :

  @Demi

  OK, let’s see:

  Select SFTP window
  Connect to: put the IP address of your iPhone here
  Username: root

  Leave everything else blank and hit connect. You will get prompted for the password which is either Alpine or Dottie (unless you changed it).

  Then you get your mac on the left and the iPhone on the right. Use the light blue arrows to navigate up in the folder hierarchy.

  It’s pretty simple – just click on the relavant folders and then drag and drop from left to right. But be careful. Hacking is dangerous would be the Admin’s comment

  Good luck and good night,
  Wolf

• 98. Demi replies at 15th November 2007, 7:56 am :

  Thanks again, Wolf! It’s working and I can see what you told me now! Do you mean I just drop 112fr.zip file into the bin folder of iphone (no need to extract it before drag and drop)? I actually did that, but just want to be sure if I got it right.

  For the step 8, can you let me know again about “Open terminal”?
  Do you mean I need to go back to SFTP window again?

  And after that error 1013, it said “Close iTunes now and open iNdependence again once the restoration completed. Click the “Activation/SIM” tab. Choose to activate the iPhone. It will ask your extracted iPhone 1.0.2 firmware.”
  Can somebody please explain how to do this without iNdependence, since I thought iNdependence only work on Mac…

  And everytime I try to connect my iphone to the itunes, there always a message said, “We could not complete your iTunes store request. A secure network connection could not be established.”
  What exactly it that mean????

• 105. Wolf replies at 15th November 2007, 1:25 pm :

  @Demi

  You need to unzip the files before and have them in a separate folder. From this one you can then drag and drop via Fugu. The same you need to do with the virginizer pack a bit later in the process.

  With Terminal you get a unix console and will be able to key in the commandlines that are described in the doc. The tool you find in Programs/Utility (I am using a german version of Leopard so I am not sure whether its correctly translated – could be tools too). In anyway the icon looks like a black screen with a cursor on it.

  Good luck – and once you are on terminal make sure you doublecheck your input before you hit enter. And look at the response – sometimes it is obvious when you made a mistake or when you were successful. No response here is a good response too

  Cheers,
  Wolf

  Hello everyone,
  I am having a problem similar to Abishek’s which went unanswered – I bought a 1.1.1 iphone, downgraded to 1.02 and unlocked via independence – however, two nights ago, my phone stopped recognizing my sim. After attempting to remedy the problem by downgrading the firmware and reapplying the unlock, my wifi and bluetooth were disabled (regardless of whether or not the phone is jailbroken in 1.02 or 1.1.1 firmware, the wifi and bluetooth remain DISABLED – there is simply no option to turn them on).

  Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Any help is IMMENSELY appreciated

  Hi Admin,

  thanks for your advice. But unfortunately renaming the file secpack40213.bin to “seckpack” only (without .bin extension) and running step 7 and 8 did not work for me. I tried over a dozen times and even installed terminal.app on the iPhone to run the commands through there and I still got stuck at “Waiting for data…”

  How I solved it and got through step 7 to 9 for my iPhone was using the files downloaded from http://cats.omerkatzir.com/Restore%20Baseband.zip. I extracted it and SSH’d it using Fugu as you’d outlined in step 7. However, the bbupdater file had permissions set on it in the pack I just mentioned so I replaced the bbupdater file from your pack in step 7. Ran the commands at soon enough, my baseband is now…

  -sh-3.2# bbupdater -v

  Done

  I don’t know why my iPhone can’t read the ieraser in your Stage 2 packs. I say this is because now I’m getting “Waiting for data…” in step 10.

  after upgrading to 1.1.1 i could not intall anysim and intaller via independence, so i used cyberduck.

  once again: great work, thank you. in addition i´d like to say that i am a bloody normal computer-user with no special knowledge about this stuff.

  Chris,

  I think I figure out why you corrupt at the stage. I think if you guys extract the files using StuffIt, it will corrupt. You need to extract it with BOM Archive Utility.

• 152. admin replies at 17th November 2007, 1:11 am :

  bbern,

  great to hear that. And thx for your comments. Stay tuned for more updates.

• 153. admin replies at 17th November 2007, 1:14 am :

  Roly,

  you need to select the original downloaded file. Not the extracted one

• 154. Chris replies at 17th November 2007, 1:32 am :

  Hi Admin, actually I right clicked on the file and opened with BOMArchiveHelper.app (Default) (10.4.7). I followed exactly what you have instructed.

  Anyway, after 4 hours since that post my phone is unlocked and jailbroken with 1.1.1! I skipped the virginizer process (step 10) and upgraded to 1.1.1 from Stage 3 onwards till the end using iNdependance. Thank you for your guide and your responses by the way. Greatly appreciated your help and this guide! =)

• 158. admin replies at 17th November 2007, 4:12 am :

  chunk,

  put it in restore mode by press “Home+Power”button. Hold it tight until the screen turns dark, release the power button. Open iTunes and when it said it is in restore mode, restore it.

• 159. Dylan replies at 17th November 2007, 4:14 am :

  Are we doing something wrong or is there something wrong with the virginize_pack?

• 160. admin replies at 17th November 2007, 4:18 am :

  Dylan,

  THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE PACK WE DELIVERED. Just used it to unlock another iPhone.

  may be you can skip this command and go for the next one :
  chmod +x ./iUnlock
  and try.

  04.02.13_G ?

  When I restore 1.1.1 (the first step) I get error 1 and then i close itunes and open Independence when i do that on the bottom left of Independence it says that im in DFU mode? but then i dont know what to do? your help is very appreciated…

• 163. admin replies at 17th November 2007, 4:44 am :

  Roly

  In DFU mode that means you can restore your firmware to 1.0.2 through iTunes now. Close iNdependence and open iTunes to do so.

• 164. Roly replies at 17th November 2007, 4:54 am :

  ok i did that and then it give me and error “1″ when im done with the 1.0.2 update i then closed itunes and open independence and then it tell me on the bottom right that it is in recovery mode and it does not let me click on any buttons at all to activate the phone?

  there has to be something im doing wrong? im so anxious in getting this to work.

  thanks again and again!!

• 167. admin replies at 17th November 2007, 5:30 am :

  Jason,

  What is your question? This is pretty unclear. The iPhone should be in restore mode before restoring. That’s normal

• 168. Jason replies at 17th November 2007, 5:37 am :

  Ok, well i follow all the steps. i download the 1.1.1 file. i put my iphone into DFU mode and then click option restore. itunes wont let me select the file so i compress it and then select it. it says it is extracting the file but then it say it couldnt restore my iphone error 1. what am i doing wrong?

• 169. Jason replies at 17th November 2007, 5:41 am :

  and iNdependece keeps telling me to download the itunes mobile
  thing. i downloaded it and i relaunced independence and it couldnt find the itunesmobile file. it said it wasnt in the right path of something.

• 170. Roly replies at 17th November 2007, 5:51 am :

  Jason, for Independence you need to read the “readme” file ot go below: http://www.winandmac.com/mobile/iphone/ultimate-guide-to-unlock-iphone-111-for-free/#more-367

  That will show you how to get it working.

• 171. Roly replies at 17th November 2007, 5:56 am :

  admin, im sorry if im bothering you for explanations but im doing everything you say to do in the guide and its not working.

  im not very cleary what to do.

  when i restore the phone with the file 1.1.1 it give me the error “1″ instead of the 1015 error that you say that is suppose to give me.

  im wondering if that is skipping to the other step in which you say that it should give me the “1″ error?

  When you told me to close independence because it said i was in DFU mode i did and then open itunes to restore it with 1.0.2 I then closed itunes when it gave me the “1″ error, then when i open independence it does not let me do anything.

  again sorry if this is bothering you i have just been trying to do this for ever now..

  thanks…

  Roly,

  I am sorry to say that you really can’t get it. Cause having error (1) means you didn’t restore your iPhone to 1.0.2 yet. If you are in firmware 1.1.2, restore it to 1.1.1 first. Tham, restore it to 1.0.2 with the help in iNdependence.

  You didn’t downgrade your firmware correctly. Please try again by putting it in DFU mode. Hold Power+Home Button for a few seconds, when the screen turns dark, release the power button. Open iTunes now and see whether it tells you in restore mode. If not, try again.

  You may restore from 1.1.2 > 1.1.1 > 1.0.2

  My phone was is not activated when I purchased it from the Apple store. I have tried to downgraded from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 but it seems not to have picked it up, instead it downloads 1.1.2. I have changed the extension file to .ispw and also tried the other way too .zip both with no success. It seems like alot of people on here are not very clear as to how you should downgrade, obviously the instruction on the web is not clear enough. Perhaps we have downloaded the firware from the wrong site.

  Please help.

  I have downloaded the firware 1.1.1 from your link to my Desktop of my MAC. The file name iPhone1,1_1-1.1.1_3A109a_Restore.ipsw.zip.download and I have renamed it to iPhone1,1_1-1.1.1_3A109a_Restore.ipsw is this correct. Also every time I download this, it will create a folder iphone1,1_1 as well, is this correct. When I hold down the alt-option button and pressing the Restore button, it allows me to select the the file iPhone1,1_1-1.1.1_3A109a_Restore.ipsw. I hit the retire and update button and I get an information screen saying iPhone Software Version 1.1.2, is this correct?

  Obviously there are many successful case in the comments. Please check.

  Are you using Safari, if yes, the reason why you see that the file is in .zip could possibly caused by Safari. It is your problem that you didn’t configure you Safari correctly. Please don’t assume this guide won’t work for everyone or whatsoever without thinking any other possibility or errors not related to unlock.

At that point I just wanted to get back 1.1.1 and use my phone. Getting into recovery mode (the first step) from 1.1.2 is more difficult and wasn’t explained well anywhere and nothing was workin.

  Hi
  I am following your instructions, and trying to find answers in the comments. but i am stuck now… Chris has mentioned this before, but i could not figure out how to solve it.

  you need a file called secpack matching your current firmware version in this folder
  see http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com for instructions on finding this file
  Waiting for data…

  i have tried to download secpack from where you suggested, did not work. tried to remove the bin extension, did not work.
  i have not used Stuffit, i have used BOM (as you suggested).

  Do you have any ideas?
  Thanks a lot.

  Chris now have a happy iPhone with 1.1.1.

  Anyway, is your iPhone newly bought?

• 241. Andy M. replies at 21st November 2007, 11:20 am :

  Admin,
  Excellent tutorial!
  i’m having a problem anyways that wasn’t addressed anywhere, and wanted to see if you could give me a hand.
  I have a working 1.0.2 iPhone with 04.02.13_G modem firmware.
  Bluetooth, wifi address, imei and iccid are showing numbers, so i think they are all working right, but i can’t get wifi really working, i suppose that’s because the modem firmware is actually for 1.1.2 fw.
  Do you have any idea on how to flash the modem firmware back to the 03.14.08_G that was originally from 1.0.2?
  I have all the files, the olny thing missing for me is a way to access to phone without using WiFi (cause i dont have any).
  If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks in advance from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

  Aloha!

  Just got my phone back. All I can say is THANK YOU! Once I got my phone back to 1.0.2, i had access to the springboard and an UNLOCKED telephone! I had iphonesimfree before.

  After my kid accidently “upgraded” my firmware, I was ready to kill her. Thanks for not making me have to turn my kid into fish food! : )

  i got the phone 2 days ago from HK, and by stupid mistake upgraded it when i connected to itunes.
  i managed to downgrade it to 1.0.2, and now it can connect to wifi and it looks normal, except of course i can not use my Tmobile sim card (which i used for half a day when i got the phone).
  so i have been trying to unlock the phone following your procedure.
  i am not sure what i am doing wrong….
  thank you so much for your help.

• 245. Chris replies at 21st November 2007, 10:43 pm :

  @ Souraya

  Which step are you stuck at? Like Admin said, is your iphone newly bought and from where?

• 246. Chris replies at 21st November 2007, 11:06 pm :

  @ Souraya,

  are you stuck on step 7? For some reason, the secpack provided by the admin’s link did not run for me and was stuck at “Awaiting data…”

  So I downloaded the files from here http://cats.omerkatzir.com/Restore Baseband.zip which was given to me by a macrumors member. However, you need to replace the “bbupdater” file with the one provided by the Admin in step 7. I completed steps 8 & 9 but skipped 10 & 11 virginiser steps and went straight to Stage 3 step 12. I too bought my iPhone in HK and how they unlocked and jailbreak was quite clean so I don’t really think you need to virginize it.

  I hope this works for you!

  I thought about upgrading to 1.1.2 but I’m going to listen to the Admin as he pointed out it has risks at the moment. Thanks Admin for the advice!

• 247. Chris replies at 21st November 2007, 11:09 pm :

  I am sorry to say that you really can’t get it. Cause having error (1) means you didn’t restore your iPhone to 1.0.2 yet. If you are in firmware 1.1.2, restore it to 1.1.1 first. I figured out independence… I just need this one step to work!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

• 254. Andy M. replies at 24th November 2007, 9:36 am :

  Admin,
  i’ve read your tutorial througly, but i cannot use it due to the fact that i can get to 1.0.2, but when i do so my phone is left without WiFi access.
  Therefore, i cannot get to it thru ssh or do anything.
  i just jailbreak it and so, but cannot restore the baseband cause i cant access the phone thru ssh…
  any ideas??
  thanks!!!

• 255. Andy M. replies at 24th November 2007, 9:39 am :

  thanks!

• 256. Damien replies at 24th November 2007, 10:47 am :

  I too was stuck at Step 10 with the “Waiting for data” taking forever.

  I deleted the files from the iPhone, re-downloaded the virginizer bundle, unzipped them and put them back into /usr/bin, and then went back to the terminal and it went through fine. Hope that helps anyone. Took about an hour of trying different things to get that to work.

• 257. damien replies at 24th November 2007, 11:04 am :

  For all those who had problems with Step 10, “Waiting for data”

  Redownload the virginizing bundle, delete the old one from your phone, and place the new unzipped files in. This worked for me.

  Just got this working on Vodafone in Oz. Thanks all!

• 302. Daryl replies at 1st December 2007, 8:20 am :

  Every time I try this I get as far as step 3 or version 1.1.1 . After that when I reach the point where I’m supposed to send the iphone into DFU mode when I open independence that isn’t an available option. I end up manually putting the iphone into restore mode and attempting the process a second time to which I eventually do get the option from Independence, however when I select the folder (which i renamed “iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.zip”) I just receive and error from Independence about not being able to put the iphone into restore mode. What am I doing wrong here?

  I’d really appreciate it if someone could take a moment and have a dialog with me so i could figure this out. I’ve literally dedicated 73 hours to this since I bought this phone a week and a half ago. I can be contacted at brodeo@comcast.net

  I’ve dedicated 100+ hours to write those guides.

  And you should select the extracted folder, not the zip file

• 308. Daryl replies at 2nd December 2007, 12:56 am :

  If the option was available too me, I would be choosing the extracted folder. But when I open up iNdependence immediately after the “error (1)”, the status reads as “connected to iphone in DFU mode”, and aside from clicking between tabs from Activate/sim – Firmware. Clicking any other buttons aside from those is not an option. And when I enter recovery mode at the start of downgrading to 1.0.2 my iphone screen is black (I don’t know if that’s relevant). So I’m trying to understand if I’m doing something wrong because the best of my knowledge I’m just following directions.

  I am not challenging your guide. I really do appreciate it and I swear that once I complete all the steps my phone will finally be working. I was simply expressing my mounting frustration as I’m stumbling through so many tutorials and such and this seems to be the most effect and better explained of all of them

• 309. admin replies at 2nd December 2007, 1:47 am :

  Daryl,

  put your iPhone to DFU mode. Here’s how:
  Turn off the iphone first.
  hold the home and power button
  when the apple logo appears
  release the power button but hold the home button
  wait until iTunes tell you it’s in restore mode.

  try to restore it with 1.0.2 firmware

• 310. Migest replies at 2nd December 2007, 2:15 am :

  Sorry admin… the reason i have asked my question that I see bunch of websites that are selling “unlocking” solutions for this FW with 4.x bootloader. I am tying to find who is right.

  I see that you guys are willing to find the solution – that why I stick to your forum and not believe those “dudes” with fake softs.

  I have try to check my bootloader with Mac OS and Window… iBrick is not working nor anySim… iNdependence is not working with my FW… iDemocracy crashes all the time… I do not know what to do… I have checked many sites, links, forums… I still have no clue how to check my bootloader version. My iPhone is locked and not activated. It’s still shows the cable to iTunes – that is it… frustrating…

  Thanks again.

• 311. Jehovan replies at 2nd December 2007, 3:24 am :

  Ok, I turned the iphone off and on, and now it was possible to downgrade to 1.1.1, but now when downgrading to 1.0.2 it gives error (1) again. The guide says i have to use independence to enter DFU mode, but with version 1.2.5 it won’t recognize my iphone, and 1.3beta just keeps quitting ‘unexpected’.

  any thoughts?

• 312. Daryl replies at 2nd December 2007, 4:38 am :

  Thank you so much for getting back to me so expeditiously, I really am appreciating it so far. But here’s the issue now: As soon as the message “your phone is in now DFU and is ready for you to downgrade” appears, iTunes opens and doesn’t seem to be recognizing my iPhone. So what I have tried is to quit iTunes then click okay to the message, then quit iNdependence. Re-open iTunes after which, iTunes sees my iPhone. But by this time, my iPhone’s screen has gone black then to a steady white and if I try the restore at that point, I come up with and “error (1)” message again.

  WORKED !!! I’ve got US OOTB 1.1.1 with 04.01.13_G. I upgraded to 1.1.2 and 04.02… BB.
  Today I decided that I’m going back to 1.0.2.
  I did restore my firmware twice with iTunes (1.1.2->1.1.1 & 1.1.1->1.0.2), but my modem firmware was still at 04.0.2.
  I followed another guide to downgrade my BB, but I lost IMEI & modem FW info :/.
  Then followed your guide. Now I have “brand new’ iPhone with 1.0.2 FW and 03.14.08_G (remember that original FW and BB were 1.1.1 & 04.01.13_G !!!) with all my unique info (IMEI, SN and Modem FW).

  Just some more info:
  I lost my IMEI & Modem info, when I had this error:
  –>Error: Failed to download .EEP: Could not verify downloaded image.
  The reason is probably I had wrong secpack (my “first” virginize pack was from another source)
  “Secpack” file from this guide worked !!!

  Remember: to correctly reflash baseband and not to have above error, you should have THIS info:

  –>baseband unresponsive to pinging

  after 2nd
  –> bbupdater -v
  command

  and before
  –>bbupdater -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls

  iPhone with Bootloader 4.6_M3S2 !! Now What?

  1. copy the Bootloader 3.8_M3S1 off of your friend’s old iPhone to a computer.
  2. overwrite Bootloader 4.6_M3S2 with Bootloader 3.8_M3S1
  3. software restore via iTunes back to 1.1.1
  4. look up the jailbreakme.com unluck iPhone guide (use Google)

  How to do Step 1 & 2 ?
  You may have to open your iPhone up

  http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone/Display-Assembly/105/10/

  and locate the JTAG interface.

  http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=jtag+finder&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

  Sorry, this unlock route is not for everyday Joe.

  Apple has been trying to lock their iPhones, so that they can offer exclusive deals to certain wireless carriers, which pay Apple big bucks in return, of course. It takes Apple 3 software updates to lock us out. (1.0.2 -> 1.1.1 -> now the deadly 1.1.2 with Bootloader 4.6_M3S2)

  That’s it. I expect used, but unlocked iPhones to go up in prices.

  Did you rename the file with “.zip” extension?

  You need to extract it also.

• 355. Niggiebro replies at 9th December 2007, 7:50 am :

  Admin,

  Yes I did. I changedor renamed the .ipsw to .zip and used Stuffit Expander v.10.0 (build 235). Then when I click on the “Activate Phone” button and browse to the expanded folder every file in it is shaded, not accessable.

  FYI, after expanding the iPhone1.1_1.0.2.1C28_Restore.zip a folder is created with 5 items in it: 009-7698-4.dmg, 694-5298-5.dmg, Restore.plist, kernelcache.release.s518900xrb, and dir Firmware, in this folder are two more dir: all_flash and dfu. In the dfu folder are 2 files: iBSS.m68ap.RELEASE.dfu and WTF.s518900xall.RELEASE.dfu. In the all_flash folder is another dir in it are 10 files: applelogo.img2, batterycharging.img2, batterylow0.img2, batterylow1.img2, DeviceTree.m68ap.img2, iBoot.m68ap.RELEASE.img2, LLB.m68ap.RELEASE.img2, manifest, needservice.img2, and recoverymode.img2.
  I don’t know, but maybe the image files need to be renamed to .img from .img2? ? ?

• 356. Niggiebro replies at 9th December 2007, 10:58 am :

  Admin,

  I’m going to start over. I was using different firmware than the one’s you have links for, because everytime I downloaded them, “Downloader” would extract them from there zip state.

  FYI, the firmware I used before had the .ipsw extention.

  This time around I’m not sure if iTunes will recognize the zipped firmware files I downloaded from your links or if I have to extract them first before using iTunes… you did mentioned that you needed to in “Steps 1-3″.

  Wish me luck!

  hard to say. got it on ebay this past week. it was fully “unlocked” and had firmware 1.1.1, however when i got it, it seemed more to be jailbroken than unlocked. like everything worked accept the actual phone. couldn’t read my tmobile sim, nor the at&t sim that came with it. firmware on phone was 1.1.1 but baseband was 04.02.13_G. serial on back had 49 for 4th and 5th numbers. so thats where im confused. if it was a 49th week iphone, it shouldnt have 4.02.13 baseband, but the new 4.6 one i guess. so you tell me.

  after i put it in DFU mode i go back to itunes to do another restore. am i restoring to the 1.0.2 here, and is it the original 1.0.2 file i downloaded, or the renamed one. neither seems to work. just says “waiting for iphone”

  The baseband (04.02.13_G) and the Bootloader (4.6) are two different things.

  It’s likely your iphone is the newest version, and was jailbroken.

  Hey all. I have one of the new iPhones. Week 45. It was locked. I used TurboSim and it works. I am using my DNA card in my iPhone here in Finland. To be honest, I am not very impressed with the iPhone and I tend to use my Nokia N81 more on a daily basis. Save yourself time and a headache. Get TurboSim, unlock your phone and be happy.

  Luiz Fernando ,

  If you are beginner, I suggest you not to hack it. I don’t want to hear any complaint if you have troubles with your iPhone.

  If you really want to go for it, please specify your question. I don’t understand the problem you faced for Fugu

  Many thanks,

  There is something goes wrong for Safari. You need to disable the “Open safe files after downloading” or otherwise the downloaded file will be extracted and you cannot perform step 3.

  im stuck on step 4, when i put the phone on dfu mode the iphone’s screen goes blank white(not sure if thats supposed to happen) and then when i try to restore it with itunes to the 1.0.2 firmware it just says “waiting for iphone”. i gave it some time(about an hour) before i tried again this time using the .zip file instead of the .ispw and still it says “waiting for iphone” . then i waited there for about an hour until i tried restoring it without putting it in dfu mode and again i see the “waiting for iphone…”message. so i go to sleep with it waiting and five hours later it still says the same message. so i restart from the starting of the guide and 1.1.1 restores perfectly(has the 1015 message though) and now im stuck at the same place again. please help me, im so aggravated with this unlocking process. i think i might have spent 50+ trying to unlock it.

  peace

• 423. cris replies at 17th January 2008, 12:58 am :

  oh yeah i forgot to say that no, my iphone isnt an out of box 1.1.2. it was 1.1.1 when i jailbroke it, then i fucked up and updated it by accident although i did buy it recently. so please admin help me out or someone.

  peace

• 424. admin replies at 17th January 2008, 2:02 am :

  cris,

  If it holds at “waiting for iPhone”. It has a large possibility that some other programs controlled your iPhone. Be sure to close iNdependence.

• 425. cris replies at 17th January 2008, 2:56 am :

  admin,

  im sure that when i open itunes to do the restore in dfu mode that INdependence is closed, i did so by looking at the activity monitor. what else do you think it could be?

  I have an US OTB 112 BL 4.6 and trying to use it as an iPod Touch, i’ve read all comments and wish someone could help me with this brick. I’m at Stage 1 – Step 4 trying to downgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 in DFU Mode already BUT, it keeps “Waiting for iPhone” at the iTunes screen. (I’m using OS X 10.5.1 w/iTunes 7.6) How doom am I?

• 431. Meltz replies at 22nd January 2008, 7:31 am :

  Admin,

  I received a replacement OTB 1.1.2 iphone today from apple, Bootloader 4.6. I’ve successfully jailbroken to 1.0.2 and installed SSH via Independnce. I have no need to unlock the phone, but I’d like to upgrade to 1.1.1 so I can put installer on, etc. When I run Independence pre-firmware 1.1.1 upgrade, then upgrade in itunes, I get an error and need to start the whole process again. Firmware is 04.02.13_G, Bootloader 4.6, Week 47. What are my next steps, if any? I’ve downgraded and upgraded, jailbroken and unlocked many phones, but all with earlier phones – I’ve finally met my match.

  Thanks.

  Ok so i had the 1.1.2 firmware and it was new and all that, and i am an idiot for starting this download because i did not want to flash it or anything. So i did step 1 through 3 and downgraded to firmware 1.1.1. Now i do not want to continue with this process, what do i do? it only shows that screen with the itunes sign and a plug in wire at the bottom of that. The screen is not changing or anything, what do i do? Do i have to continue for my iphone to get back to normal or what?
