  the carnival is pretty complicated to us. It takes a lot of steps. So we suggest to use our steps.

  What is iTune version?

  How can I connect WinSCP with iPhone (IP)?
  Step 11. Use WinSCP, connect to the iPhone SSH system by typing the correct IP.

  Will you post pictures?

  Thanks.

• 9. Bruno replies at 26th October 2007, 11:55 am :

  It is a good guide but it has many mistakes. The password in WinSCp is “alpine”. And if the lockdownd file you rename .old iphone gets stuck just overwrite the old one

• 10. admin replies at 26th October 2007, 12:57 pm :

  Woddy,

  We are using iTunes 7.4.2. It will work for iTunes 7.4.3, anyway.

  Guide updated. You can always check IP using step 11.

  And yes. this guide will not only upload more pictures but also keeps updating.

• 11. admin replies at 26th October 2007, 1:01 pm :

  Bruno,

  Sorry that we make this mistake. BTW, you can always backup your lockdownd file to local hard disk, or, you can overwrite it for sure.

• 12. Sam replies at 26th October 2007, 3:28 pm :

  Hey Admin, I need some help here. On step 8 can you please put up a link to how to jailbreak. and also on step 11 what is the correct ‘IP’ Adress?

  Thanks for the help

  I would like to say this method is very good, thank you very much for taking into consideration my cooment.

  or do u have to activate using the lockdown method below and then access the springboard to upbate ???

• 15. kunwar replies at 27th October 2007, 7:09 am :

  well this seems to be great
  but did any1 really unlocked it already using these steps
  how long does it takes to unlcok it

• 16. Jon Tan replies at 27th October 2007, 7:51 am :

  Step 11. Use WinSCP, connect to the iPhone SSH system by typing the correct IP. You need to type “root” as username, “alpine” as password. You can always check your iPhone’s IP by clicking Settings > Wi-Fi, click the blue arrow that you connected to.

  I have downloaded winSCP… now how do I use it? Where do I type my IP password etc..

• 17. Jon Tan replies at 27th October 2007, 8:11 am :

  forget what i said.. i think i got it.. u type the ip address in the host name? OK… now to my next question. I have a mac and windows… I was just wondering if you can mix some of the steps from windows with the mac? Mac you use Fugu to access into the iphone and in Windows you use WinSCP. I was just wondering if I can use WinSCP on windows to access my iphone for STAGES 3-5 and to ‘jailbreak, activation and installing 3rd app’ on the Mac with iNdependance and Fugu?

• 18. g replies at 27th October 2007, 12:40 pm :

  hey could u explain how to chmod the anysim1.1 app file

• 19. admin replies at 27th October 2007, 2:11 pm :

  Sam,

  just run the program and click the button. It’s very simple. Easier than that one in Mac OS X.

  You can always check IP by clicking Settings > Wi-Fi from your iPhone. Click the blue arrow you connected to.

• 20. admin replies at 27th October 2007, 2:21 pm :

  Jon Tan,

  If you run the jailbreak and activate steps in Mac, there is no need to repeat those stages in Windows again. Since you have a mac, you can always want to try the mac guide. That is pretty easy to follow under iNdependence.

  I am trying to use touchFree but for some reason I get stuck on step 2 “Reading iPod flash image” and it stays there for a couple of hours. Am I just supposed to wait and look at the loading bar keep filling or there is something really wrong? any suggestions?

• 27. admin replies at 27th October 2007, 10:03 pm :

  chung and king,

  We got the same message when we have run the anySIM. The thing you need to do is to follow the stage 2 step.

  Did you try it yet?

  Make sure you don’t run anySIM for one more time. That is inapporiate

• 28. admin replies at 27th October 2007, 10:04 pm :

  p-air,

  something is wrong for sure. Try to restore your iPhone to 1.1.1 and start over.

• 29. Bruno replies at 27th October 2007, 10:33 pm :

  Hi admin,
  I read somewhere elese that after unlocking iphone you cant use the installer, is that true or if unlocked by this method you can. I am really interested in using the installer.

• 35. andy replies at 28th October 2007, 3:04 am :

  You should check “anySIM.app” itself and “anySIM.app/anySIM” are chmod to 755.

  Q: HOW to check?

• 36. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:48 am :

  Bruno,

  oh. Why not just run it and try.

  You will be prompted to update the installer 3.0b4, just go for it.

  Since the program provided is not official, you should use it with caution

• 37. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:50 am :

  andy,

  right click the folder and choose ‘properties’ in WinSCP and you can check.

• 38. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:51 am :

• 43. Brad replies at 28th October 2007, 11:50 am :

  I followed these steps and successfully jailbroke my phone. The activation part is not working though (getting “this may take a while” error). Are you sure its OK to use the downloaded lockdownd file for any iphone? It isn’t unique to each phone?

• 44. chung replies at 28th October 2007, 1:06 pm :

  you said that dont run anySIM more than once. If I restore the iphone, then can I need to run anySIM again? Or I just skip anySIM step?

• 45. Jeffrey replies at 28th October 2007, 2:34 pm :

  Thank You for the hard work~
  I just wanna ask when I start from stage 1 entering the URL, the screen start over from the beginning. So, how can I start again because the phone do not ring anymore even when I dial *#307#. Thank You very much

• 46. Roger replies at 28th October 2007, 3:02 pm :

  I’m stuck, am successful up to touchfree part, it seems to get stuck and just recycles through “reading ipod flash image”.

• 47. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:10 pm :

  Brad,

  I found this on the forum, you may try:

  OLD 6. ACTIVATING METHOD :

  6.0 On your Iphone screen. Click Installer. Install BSD Subsystem (4mins or less)
  [REMEMBER: If you used TouchFree alpha then you installed it already]
  6.1 [In winSCP] Upload killall to /usr/bin folder on the iphone. Set permissions to 0655.
  6.2 [In winSCP] Upload lockdownds files that were in the unlock111.zip you downloaded at the start to /usr/libexec Set permissions to 0755 to the three files.
  6.3 [In winSCP] Rename the file called lockdownd on your /usr/libexec folder to lockdownd.back
  6.4 [In winSCP] Rename the file lockdownd.1.0.2 to lockdownd [DON’T forget ends in d]
  6.5 [In winSCP] Upload iphoneactivation.pem from \iasign\bin in your computer to /System/Library/Lockdown [The file is 1277k in size permissions:0644]
  6.7 [In winSCP] go to Commands->Open Terminal (or just press Control+T).Enter command: killall lockdownd. Click Execute. THEN CLICK CLOSE.
  6.8 Message on iphone screen: “iPhone is activated”. [ACTIVATION DONE]
  The message may not appear..or it may take longer or it may have appear earlier. The imporant thing is the phone won’t complain and your phone carrier will appear in the top-left corner if the unlocking with ANYsim went fine.
  6.9 [In winSCP] rename lockdownd to lockdownd.1.0.2 using WinSCP (This is in /usr/libexec)
  6.10 [In winSCP] rename lockdownd.swap to lockdownd using WinSCP (This is in /usr/libexec)
  6.11 [In winSCP] Repeat go to Commands->Open Terminal (or just press Control+T). Enter command: killall lockdownd . Click Execute.
  6.12 Disconect your iPhone from USB. Restart. ENJOY!! Now you can swap SIM cards.
  [WHAT IF activation didn’t work … well .. some people say this method didn’t work for them. I tried three times and it worked. Others have had success too. PLEASE REPORT. But make sure you followed every step!! Maybe iasign is needed in the end. And I would rewrite this part]

• 48. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:11 pm :

  chung,

  It is safe to run anySIM again, but if it is unlocked, it will say it’s unsuccessful

• 49. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:14 pm :

  Roger,

  that means Touchfree can’t connect to iPhone correctly. You may need to start from fresh

• 50. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:15 pm :

  Jeffrey,

  Slide for emergency, and press “0″ to call. Answer the call than hold the call. It will ring again. Than, press decline and you will go back to contact list.

• 51. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:16 pm :

  Visitor,

  just to let the iTunes recognize your iPhone so that other program can do the hacking job

• 52. admin replies at 28th October 2007, 3:21 pm :

  Javier,

  You may upgrade it directly to iPhone 1.1.1. But you know, it is pretty risky. Try it at your own risk

• 53. Roger replies at 28th October 2007, 3:31 pm :

  One more thing to add to the reading the ipod flash image loop I get stuck in, before hand, touchfree asks me to first visit http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com on Safari, I click on the link and then continue to step 2, that’s when it gets frozen.

• 54. Bruno replies at 28th October 2007, 5:07 pm :

  Yeah it is running the intaller is running perfectly, my question is if i wont have any problem like apple locking my iphone again, cause in other jailbreaking processes, like iDemocracy you have to go through a process to install the apptapp and the installer, why dont they just install it directly like in this method.

• 55. Lonely replies at 28th October 2007, 7:33 pm :

  Dear Roger,

  It’s IMPORTANT to make sure that iTunes can recognise the iPhone. Once you confirm that iTunes can recognise the iPhone then close iTunes and kill iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe services from the task manager and then run TouchFree.

• 56. CS replies at 28th October 2007, 9:58 pm :

  hey, after I passed step 17 the iphone freezes up and I can´t do anything… I restarted it and the apple appears and stays there forever… what to do????

• 57. chung replies at 28th October 2007, 10:31 pm :

  is it anySIM can only sucess once. That is if i sucessed before, if i restore it, i will not sucess anymore??

• 58. chung replies at 28th October 2007, 10:36 pm :

  After i restore, I never sucess in anySIM, Why??

• 59. chung replies at 28th October 2007, 10:37 pm :

  Also after I replace this lockdownd file, the iphone become very slow and the home button become no respone.

• 60. Javier replies at 28th October 2007, 10:55 pm :

  Thanks admin. I did restore to 1.1.1. Everything seemed fine. Went through the steps and had the same problem that Roger had (successful up to touchfree part, it seems to get stuck and just recycles through “reading ipod flash image”). When you say “start from fresh” I guess you mean rerunning all the steps again. I did, but get the same result. Any other option?

• 61. amit replies at 28th October 2007, 11:04 pm :

  I did everything as said here, everything seems to work except for the IPHONE. In the beginning, I tunes after clicking on syncing gave a message can’t read from disk, now it can’t read from IPHONE,
  says to restore, but on restore, get ITUNES error. The IPHONE is working fine including WIFI, phone calls and WIFI Itunes except for the IPOD feature, kindly advise

  For those who have problem with jailbreak, try their alpha version to see whether the problem can be fixed.

  You can always install SSH using the Installer included.

• 67. Javier replies at 29th October 2007, 12:46 am :

  Tried the alpha version. no luck. Stays in step 2, “Patching ipod flash image… 1000 tries” and counting.
  admin, what do you mean by “You can always install SSH using the Installer included”? Remember the phone is still in jail, so how do i get to the installer?

• 68. admin replies at 29th October 2007, 12:49 am :

  Javier,

  If you are able to jailbreak using the alpha version, than you can install openSSH.

  thanks a lot for all your efforts to help us. I have a new iphone 1.1.1 and I trying to use your method for jailbreaking it. It is my first time and so I have the following questions:
  1) during the jailbreaking do I have to use my own sim card? or I have to use AT&T card? and than change it?
  2) where can I download the “BSD Subsystem” and “OpenSSH”?
  3) do I have to do steps 11, 12 and 13 from my PC or directly form the iphone?

  After I installed AppSnapp my phone was unlocked without You Tube. I did however continue to follow your guide and install AnySim however it failed at the end of the process. I still followed your guide and installed the “BSD Subsystem”, than install “OpenSSH” and uploaded the lockdownd file and copied the you tube files and everything worked. Why did it unlock everything after AppSnapp?

  Just got a little caught up on making sure the anySim.app/anySim file was executable, as I got an error saying it can’t change files when clicking the group box of the anySim.app folder as the picture shows. Everything worked sweetly when I manually changed the anySim file in the anySim.app folder.

  Great work.

• 116. celio replies at 31st October 2007, 3:36 am :

  well, if admin allow me to, I´d like to write some obs…:

  1) If you have ever ran anysim on your iphone 1.1.1 , but for some reason restored phone, and will jailbreak/activate phone again, DO NOT run anysim again. It causes most iphones to loose Wi-Fi. You should do everything above, but don´t run anysim again, as your iphone is already patched for unlocking (had this problem on 3 iphones);

  2) I see many ppl on forums having same problem as I had on 1st phone: Anysim or Simfree does not run. Solution is simple, just paying attention to guide above. If you don´t chmod its permissions allowing it to be executed, it really don´t work (shame on me for not reading as should);

  3) I see many ppl as well with hanging iphones after copying lockdownd to phone. Problem is very simple, and has nothing to do with “you have to replace lockdownd”. You may copy it, and rename old one to lockdownd.old, no problem. BUT you HAVE to give new permissions to file that you just written: 0555 , same as original. If 0644, iphone keeps hanging, if 0755, iphone restarts occasionally. So, do the proper permission: 555 ;

  4) ReVirginizer tool is a bless, but I can´t find modem 4.01.13_G anywhere to download. I noticed some strange hangings using 1.1.1 with 03.13.08_G, and had to downgrade iphone to 1.02, in order to work properly;

  5) I activated/unlocked/jailbreaked one iphone normally, even without installing BSD subsystem and OpenSSH, using jailbreakme.com . So, can´t see why is this needed. Using jailbreak.toc2rta.com , wasn´t needed at all;

  6) I got one iphone that did not ring after jailbreakme.com . It keeps on emergency mode for more than 15 minutes, tryied 2 more times, still the same. Had to do with jailbreak.toc2rta.com afterall, which works perfectly;

  7) If anyone need licence from iphonesimfree.com , contact me. I got 50 unused, whatta hell was I thinking?

  EDIT by admin: Please do not sell products here. Sorry. And we don’t recommend to use iphonesimfree.com now coz it will destroy seczone which cannot be recovered or virginized.

  best regards to everyone!

• 117. softeye replies at 31st October 2007, 5:29 am :

  I’ve successfully used jailbreakme now on a restored unactivated as well as an activated iphone with no problems. Have even tried and successfully locked the phone up while jailbreaking only to restore and bring phone back to life. Using an activated iphone insured my youtube and itunes worked without taking any additional steps. My son liked it so much we upgraded his jailbroke 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 and it’s fully functional. I know it’s not mentioned anywhere doing it this way but I thought I’d try it just try it. This is the best way yet, and I’ll have to say I’ve done just about everything without bricking the phone. I’ve used Ibrickr on 1.0.2, anysim, unsuccessfully reflashed the baseband only to corrupt it enough to reguire a restore, upgraded to 1.1.1 then downgraded to 1.0.2 and used ibrickr, and now jailbreakme.

  Awesome! Great Tutorial. Just a few comments:
  1) Yes, you can use http://i.unlock.no to install AnySIM, but you need SSH anyway to replace the lockdownd file
  2) I started with step 7, since my device was already activated (but make sure you have SW 1.1.1)
  3) You can skip step 12-14, if you follow http://i.unlock.no
  4) In winSCP, I had to switch under “Environment” to “CR/LF Windows” (default is Linux)
  5) You Tube was working right away!
  6) US guys with a T-Mobile data package: Under EDGE Settings (General Settings -> Network) just add “internet2.voicestream.com” for the APN and leave the rest blank -> iPhone works with TMO EDGE!

  Hey Admin: Well done and thanks for all the updates/comments!

• 182. Zack replies at 4th November 2007, 1:56 am :

  Hi Admin, and everyone!

  Thanks a lot for the free tutorial, I just unlocked my iphone successfully. Since my unlocking experience did not go as predicted in the tutorial, I will make these comments/suggestions for other users:
  1) On Step 1, as obvious as it is, click “call” after you put *#307#.
  2) On Step 4, after Enter “prefs://1f”, you should save that URL, and then go and add another one. That means you have to save twice for each URL and then you have to save all the information.
  3) For step 5, it is suggested you setup a Wifi network at home and use it for the procedure to unlock your iphone. This will offer a stable and strong WiFi connection in order to install AppSnapp in Step 7.
  4) Personally I was stuck at Step 7. As many people posted, I got stuck at the very small Blue Dot image on that website AppSnapp takes you to. Therefore Steps 8 and 9 never worked for me at all. So what I did is I waited for Step 7 for like over 20 minutes and then I gave up… so I went back to the phone call, hung it up, and restarted my iphone by pressing the power button and the Home button (simultaneously for about 5 seconds). After the iphone restarted, the iphone bypassed the activation screen; basically I was on Step 10.
  5) I also found that Step 16 and 17 are somehow repetitive and can be joined as one step, which is basically to move the files to /usr/libexec.
  6) For Step 18, I personally put my own SIM before Step 1. That was fine with my own experience.

  Some Other notes:
  a) Itunes works perfectly fine with me, syncing etc. I only connected the iphone to my PC when everything was working well with the iphone first. I also disabled automatic updates before letting iTunes even see the iphone.
  b) You can always make an SSH connection to the iphone through puTTY and change that alpine password, and well, change almost any and everything else.. Be careful though! During the SSH connection the iphone could be slow, very slow or even freeze. The iphone runs Darwin :
  bash-3.2# uname -a
  Darwin iPhone 9.0.0d1 Darwin Kernel Version 9.0.0d1: Wed Sep 19 00:08:43 PDT 2007; root:xnu-933.0.0.203.obj~21/RELEASE_ARM_S5L8900XRB iPhone1,1 Darwin
  c) Enjoy your new Iphone!! (I will work on some hacks for the fun of it, I will post anything intersting if any one is interested )

  Press Home+Power to switch off your iPhone. Hold it until the screen turns dark. When the screen turns dark, release the power button. Keep holding the Home button and open the iTunes now. Wait until it tells you iPhone is in recovery mode.

  Recover your iPhone and skip stage 2.

• 185. Olav replies at 4th November 2007, 3:53 am :

  Hi g,

  you are right with your question about the lockdownd file. I unlocked two iPhones and even after appsnap told me that my first iphone is unlocked, I still wasn’t able to use my TMO card. It worked after I replaced the lockdownd file. The second phone went very smoothly through the entire unlock process w/o changing the lockdownd at all and w/o using a computer!. The first iPhone is already 4 weeks old and the second was fresh out of the box. Maybe that makes the difference.

  One more comment for the US TMO users: the EDGE settings disappear after you switch of the phone, but there is a hack from http://i.unlock.no which will fix this issue (needs to be installed via installer.app).

  did the both phones sync with itunes after the unlock or did they give trouble to do that ?

• 189. Olav replies at 4th November 2007, 5:18 am :

  g,

  everything is perfectly running, but I switched off the AutoSync in iTunes (just in case, so that I control what will be synced).

  Again, I’m absolutely happy and except of the hiccup with the lockdownd and the EDGE settings, the phone works great in the TMO network.

• 192. Olav replies at 4th November 2007, 7:51 am :

  g,

  the second “out of the box” phone was the one which didn’t have any trouble. The method from http://i.unlock.no worked indeed without PC. I started the unlock process of course with an AT&T SIM, since I bought it here in the US. I’m not a 100% sure, but I guess you can start the process with your local SIM, since you anyway bypass the activation with the first steps.

  Good luck! Let us know what happend

• 193. Zack replies at 4th November 2007, 8:32 am :

  Hi all,
  Since I am assuming that most people here have the 1.1.1 firmware, I would like to check if other people have this same issue: When I play music through the ipod, the right speaker (located at the buttom of the iphone) has much much lower volume than the left one. Almost as if it was not working. To test, you could put your thumb and cover the left speaker and see if you hear anything… Anyone has the same issue? I could not so far find settings or what not in order to fix this problem. When plugged into headphones, both work fine, and the same when plugged into the car…

• 194. Zack replies at 4th November 2007, 9:33 am :

  Apperantly, the issue I posted earlier ended up being fine. After some tests (with my GF) I found out that the one on the left is an actual speaker, and the one on the right is the microphone. I think they made both look like speakers just for the look.

  I thought first this had something to do with the unlocking program from anySIM.

• 195. Olav replies at 4th November 2007, 9:35 am :

  Hi Zack,

  yep, same with all phones: iPhone only has one speaker at the moment. One set of holes is a speaker, another one is a microphone. Very deceiving.

  anysim 1.1 or simfree 1.7 (in relation to future software updates by apple and chances of getting bricked while updating)

  Great to hear that. And yes, if you are unable to unlock it using the jailbreakme.com easiest method, try to downgrade it and unlock.

• 207. admin replies at 4th November 2007, 5:49 pm :

  mrinal,

  We highly recommend you to use AnySIM 1.1.1. People are reporting SimFree is destroying iPhone’s boot loader. (Although we are unable to proof it. Sorry).

  And once you activate and jailbreak it, you can unlock with AnySIM 1.1.1

  Than, you will be able to swap any SIM card you want (including AT&T)

So we tried to connect iphone to the computer and use iTunes to uppgrade firmware to 1.1.1(without registrer). And it was here we got problems. Because my computer crashed when I tried to connect with iPhone. One of my friends has same computer(Acer Ferrari), and also his crashed.. But we solved the problem when we tried it on a third computer(a different one, HP). Here, we downloaded new firmware and unlocked it as a 1.1.1.!

• 254. mrinal replies at 6th November 2007, 2:30 pm :

  Okay, here’s my dilemma: Someone I know is going to the united states, and i’ve asked them to bring me back an iPhone, however they aren’t arriving there till Dec, assuming it comes with 1.1.1 I’m comfortable with unlocking mechanisms -

  but..

  Assuming it comes with 1.1.2, will I be able to use the same downgrading practice for 1.1.2->1.1.1 as 1.1.1->1.0.2? And thereby unlock it, remember it’s not activated or anything. And yes i know it’s hard to answer this when you haven’t got the firmware yourself but in theory? Would it be the same downgrade mechanism as before?

  Any feedback is appreciated.

  Olav,
  It wasn’t activated with AT&T, how do I replace the lockdownd file? And one more problem, I tried to unlock it with AnySim again, and now the phone can’t detect wifi anymore.
  Please help, thanks

• 256. JW replies at 6th November 2007, 7:25 pm :

  Never mind the wifi issue I got it to work, but still would like to know how to replace the lockdownd file.

  Thanks for the guide

• 258. admin replies at 7th November 2007, 1:45 am :

  mrinal,

  Actually, I don’t recommend to use hacktheiphone.com or modmyifone.com method for installing anySIM. During my testing, I found that these 2 site’s anySIM have some problem and cannot be run correctly. Not to said these sites are bad, but this is just my experience.

  And yes. Theoretically I think it is okay to downgrade 1.1.2 it to 1.0.2. But I am not sure about this, since the firmware is not there yet.. May be need your input.

  Please help

  Got the “not enough space” problem solved. If you are having the some trouble just do this:
  get into /var/root/ and rename sim link “Media” to “Media_sys” and/or “Mediabackup” into “Media” and should work.

• 269. Pak replies at 7th November 2007, 9:04 pm :

  Ace100

  Thanks but where i can (tutorial from: iphone.unlock.no). Is there a site?

• 270. admin replies at 7th November 2007, 9:26 pm :

  mrinal,

  1. Use the above anySIM version.
  2. That method require you to downgrade. Not recommended.
  3. You must place a SIM only before running anySIM.
  4. Will soon be updated. Check the guide again.
  5. No. Not really. All works. That’s why I named it as “ultimate guide”.
  6. When you updated your iPhone to 1.1.1, the sound will be better. There is some patch in hackint0sh forum, but I don’t recommend you to try it as they actually not work.
  7. Wait for the next generation iPhone.

• 271. admin replies at 7th November 2007, 9:27 pm :

  jose,

  I have unlocked several iPhonessss (I forgot how many.) Sometimes I used Mac method, and sometimes I used this guide. They all work well.

  The worse thing is that, you don’t know how to fix it.

• 272. Vince replies at 7th November 2007, 9:43 pm :

  Dear all, I hope somebody can help me. I had a problem at stage 2 (old version of the present method). I followed steps 11, 12, 13 and 14 as listed by this method, I also done steps 15, 16, and 17 (stage 2). But when I restarted my iphone, it did not work. When I try to turn it on, the screen is completely black with a white apple in the middle ( I waited for one hour, but it is still in this way), obviously I cannot have access to the main screen. In addition, the only way to turn it off is to press home and on/off buttons at the same time.
  Finally, I have still access to the iphone through WinSCP, but I do know if it could be useful for solving the problem.

  I really hope that somebody can help me to find a solution. I really hope it is not break.

• 275. admin replies at 8th November 2007, 12:24 am :

  Vince,

  Restore your iPhone completely with Home + Power button. When the screen turns dark, release the power button (keep on holding Home button), and open iTunes now. Keep on holding home button until it tells you iPhone is in restore mode

• 276. admin replies at 8th November 2007, 12:34 am :

  johnny,

  Not sure whether it really matters if you’re in China. You may need to try it again later on.

  And, for the IP stuff, your iPhone’s IP should on the same range with notebook’s Wi-Fi. how to do it? Just make sure iPhone and notebook are connected with same Wi-Fi AP station.

  Hello, admin. Tks for the guide.
  My iPhone 1.1.1 was succesfully unlocked(by following this guide)and I was able to place calls, but in the next day a message “Call forwarding active” just appeared every time I tried to place a call. And the call is not being completed, although I can either receive calls, SMS and send SMS, too.
  The message is not the problem, because I was able to remove it, and I can’t complete the calls yet.
  I think there’s something about the mobile operator, because if I insert my SIM on another phone, I can complete the calls.
  Do you have any idea of what’s happening? Any help would be appreciated! Tks very much!

  I managed to follow the steps on this link and succesfully unlocked my iphone Ver 1.1.1 last month (Oct). I am now back in Malaysia and I notice that I’m not able to receive calls. I can make calls though!!
  I could receive calls while in the US using T-Mobile & maxis (roaming).
  I have ran AnySim application a few times. Could this be the cause of it?

  How can I recover from this?? Only incoming calls are not working. The rest seems fine….

  Looking for help… I came back to England from India yesterday with my new unlocked iphone. All working well in both India and when I arrived home. I plug into itunes to charge and sync my music library then went off for a shower. When I came out my teenage son met me saying that he had upgraded my phone but I should have a word with work because my sim is no good…. Needless to say I asked for it back and walked off for a moments reflection… My iphone was an AT&T US based India import unlocked to level 1.0.2. Now it is upgraded to 1.1.2. There is a local backup on itunes but I guess that is only my settings and not my old system and can’t be used to “goback”? Do I have to go through all the steps in http://www.winandmac.com/mobile/iphone/winunlock-iphone-112-via-downgrade/ or is there a short cut. I don’t know what technique or software levels were used to unlock the phone in the first place and don’t want to risk a conflict??? Can anyone help?

  Dear Friend,

  I need your help in unlocking my Iphone. My Iphone is virgin out of the box version 1.1.1. I was able to jailbreak and activate using jailbreakme.com. Later I followed your guide and uploaded Anysim on my iphone. After I click to install it, it says Copying Firmware. After 3-4 min of copying, at the end of it suddenly it shows some Error which Im unable to read as it immediately quits and go back to Home Screen.

  I tried to restart the phone, but it does not show my phone network. Ill like to add, I tried to install Anysim after removing the AT&T sim and putting my network SIM. I hope I have not made a mistake in removing the AT&T sim before the installation of Anysim. I also checked in the installer, Anysim is not showing as installed. Can you please how can I get the IPHone unlocked.

  Hey Admin

  Thanks for helping us out man, appreciate it! I recently bought an iPhone from the States and it’s firmware version is 1.1.2 and after following your steps to downgrade it I was able to jailbreak the phone till 1.1.2. The US sim from Cingular works on it fine but when i change the sim to an Indian Sim it says it’s not from a recognized country, also when try to run the software AnySim 1.2.1u on it, it says that anysim was unable to unlock your iPhone – please switch off and switch on your phone. After trying this for a couple of time it becomes a brick, and then I have to restore the phone to the factory condition and start the whole process again. I would really appreciate if you could help me with this!

  Cheers

  Sumit

  hey admin
  i’ll try the virgin phone method but
  currently the iphone is having 1.0.2 with 04.01.g FW
  and the guide starts by first downgrading it too 1.0.2

  the iphone is working at present but i have to update it back to 1.1.1
  i bought a week 41 phone (1.1.1 i think); the vendor i gave it for unlocking downgraded it from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 and used simfree

  should i go ahead with your virgin iphone guide

  i want to be very sure so that i dont brick the iphone

  thanks

  Thanks sooooooooooooooooooo much for this guide!!! My iPhone is finally unlocked! Is there anywhere to send donations?

  Also… One thing that confused me in this guide, was steps 12 and 13. Just an idea, but maybe clarify (for the slower people such as me) that after you extract the folder anySIM-1.1, you need to open the folder that is created (also called anySIM-1.1, but doesn’t have the zipper-folder logo), and take the folder from inside it, and that’s what you upload to your iPhone.

  Such a wondrous guide, thank you so much!! Please let me know if you’re accepting donations, and where to send send money.

  i did try restarting a and taking out the SIM. As said, when i did try the *#307*, I get the “Please Wait…..” message and for about 2 secs it acts ike it is trying to perform the action and then the “Please Wait…..” disappears and the dial pad is just there like nothing happened. PLEASE HELP!!!!

  I also found that when i put back the orginal AT&T SIM the invalid sim message does not come up. It looks like how it should be with the “Activate iPhone” message and all and then i perform the “*#307# (Same thing happens as above) then the invalid SIM message comes up with the ATT card. When i take it out and put it back in it is okay with the AT&T card and then as said…above happens. I hope i haven’t “blocked” access to the phone. If so, is there a way to perform like a hard reset, to get it back to how it was fresh out of the box?! Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks

  Hi-

  Thank you very much for the iPhone unlocking tips. I just purchased an unlocked 8GB iPhone (Serial # starting with 86750) from a Chinese cell phone company with the phone service with T-Mobile. The sales person had warned me not to upgrade iTunes and advised me to use the version 7.3. So I went ahead and downloaded 7.3 to my computer then sync to my iPhone. Big mistake, because the SIM card with T-Mobile has become invalid.

  Would you know what happened, and how to fix it? The sales person will charge $150 for re-unlocking it.

  Please help. I am desperate and have not enjoyed any joy of owning the iPhone since I bought it.

  Thank you, and Happy New Year !!!

  Inder,

  for this serial, the iPhone should be out of the box 1.1.2. I am not sure why your iPhone is not 1.1.2 when it comes out of the box. If it is otb 1.1.2 iPhone, many people said it is not able to downgrade to 1.0.2

  Anyway,if you see waiting for iPhone message, that is probably you are opening other program that controls iTunes or iPhone. Did you try to close iBrickr during the process?

  If you did close iBrickr, you may try my iPhone 1.1.2 guide. The 1.1.2 guide in the iPhone ultimate page does not requires you to downgrade to 1.0.2. You can just start from 1.1.1

• 483. Inder replies at 11th January 2008, 1:53 pm :
