[OBSOLETE] Ultimate guide to unlock any iPhone 1.1.1 for free (Mac)

The following guide now only works for Mac OS X. You can do it under Windows using this guide. If you don’t want to downgrade, you can always use the jailbreakme.com guide right here. Follow Step 1 - 11. Than, go back to this tutorial and follow step 15.
We found that why someone can’t unlock. If your IMEI started as 004…. that means you cannot use this guide. Sorry.
After you follow the guide, you could be able to:
1. Jailbreak and use any SIM card other than AT&T. YouTube will be enabled, too.
2. Installing 3rd party applications
3. Enable International Support
4. Free custom ringtones
5. Sticky EDGE setting. You don’t have to reset the EDGE setting everytime you restart the iPhone.
Note this guide only for those OTB (Out of the box, or we called it as ‘virgin’) iPhone 1.1.1, virgin your iPhone by following this guide from steps 4-12, if you have unlocked your iPhone 1.0.2 with old anySIM 1.0.2.
For iPhonesimfree paid solution users, you can also follow this guide. But you don’t need to run anySIM again.
And, also, no one can guarantee this guide will work 100%, so try it at your own risk.
This guide is tested under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and iTunes 7.5.
Pre-Stage:
Download iNdependence 1.3 beta 2, iPhone 1.1.1 firmware and Fugu to get prepared.
If you used iTunes 7.5, iNdependence 1.3 needs the following steps. Download the MobileDevice Framework here. Extract it and than follow:
First, from the Mounted DMG file, run the MobDev Tool, you will see the following dialog.

Press okay and than choose the extracted MobileDevice that you downloaded.

Than choose the iNdependence.

When you see this, you can go to stage 1.

Stage 1: Jailbreak and unlock iPhone 1.1.1
Step 1. Choose ‘Firmware’ tab from iNdependence, click ‘Enter DFU Mode’. Select the extracted iPhone 1.0.2 firmware.
Step 2. Follow the on-screen instructions, when it showed it is successful. Quit iNdependence and run iTunes.

Step 3. iTunes should say it detected iPhone in recovery mode, press okay. Press and hold “Option” key, than click ‘restore’ in iTunes. Choose the iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw file, you can download it at here.
Step 4. After the restore completed, it should tell you the restore got some error. Ignore it and press okay. iTunes will tell you the iPhone is in restore mode again. Don’t restore it again. Close iTunes now and run iNdependence.

Step 5. Close iTunes. Make sure iTunesHelper is not running using Activity Monitor in Mac OS X. Run iNdependence now and wait for a few seconds it should appear ‘Activate iPhone’ message. Click the activate iPhone now. It will ask your extracted iPhone 1.0.2 firmware. To do it, rename the iPhone 1.0.2 we downloaded in Step 3 to iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.zip, extract it using StuffIt Expander.

Step 6. If the iPhone activated, than go through the and ’ssh’ tab. Click to install the OpenSSH. follow the on-screen instructions.
Step 7. Connect your iPhone with Wi-Fi, check the IP under Settings > Wi-Fi, and click the blue arrow. Be sure the Wi-Fi connected is in the same LAN as your Mac. (For instance, if the iPhone’s IP is 192.168.0.123, than your Mac’s IP should also start with 192.168.0) You may also share your Mac internet connection as Wi-Fi by following this guide.
Step 8. Now, click the ‘Pre 1.1.1 upgrade’ under iNdependence’s ‘firmware’ tab. Enter the IP address connected. The password should be ‘dottie’

Step 9. Open iTunes now. Choose ’set up a new iPhone’ rather than ‘restore’. Don’t sync any data at the moment, go back to iNdependence and click okay when you finished. Keep iTunes open.

Step 10. It may say it is failed as below, click ‘yes’ to fix it. If you stuck in this step, open Fugu now. Under Fugu, click Fugu > Preferences. Select the “Known Host” Tab, delete all the stuff.

Step 11. Quit iNdependence once you see the following dialog, return to iTunes, press and hold “option” key, click ‘update’ to select iPhone 1.1.1 firmware for update now.

Step 12. When you see the following message, quickly click ‘ok’ than close iTunes. Run the iNdependence now.

Step 13. Notice the bottom line, you will read iPhone 1.1.1. Click ‘Activate iPhone’ to activate your iPhone now. It takes longer than we have in iPhone 1.0.2 in Step 5.
Step 14. After you finished step 13, iPhone will be jailbroken. Now click ’ssh’ tab to install SSH to your iPhone as instructed. You may change the root password also.
Step 15. Install “anySIM” from the “Activation/SIM” Tab.

Step 16. It will prompt you to type in the iPhone’s IP address. Enter “alpine” as the password.
Step 17. Restart your iPhone by turning off and turn it on again. Go to Settings > General > Auto Lock, choose Never. Insert the SIM that you want to use. Click and run anySIM icon in the iPhone now.
Step 18. Read the agreement and start to unlock, once it is completed. Restart your iPhone.

Step 19. Remove anySIM by clicking “Remove anySIM” from iNdependence.
Stage 2: Install 3rd party applications
Step 20. Download the AppTapp Installer from here. Extract the package by right-clicking it and use BOM Archive Utility.
Step 21. Open iNdependence, choose “Customize”tab. And select “Applications” > “User”. Click add to select the extracted file in Step 20.
Step 22. Run the Installer. You may need to update the installer. Choose to install the ‘community resources’. Than, you will get the huge list to install those great native iPhone softwares.

Stage 3: Enable International Support
Step 23. Download the pre-patched file here.
Step 24. Upload it to your iPhone’s “‘/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app” using Fugu. Type in the iPhone’s IP address, “root” as username, “alpine” as the password, “22″ as the port and “/” as directory. Replace the existing file. Restart the iPhone now.
Stage 4: Free custom ringtones
Step 28. Convert the music file you want to AAC format. If you don’t know how to do it, follow the step 1 to 2 from this guide.
Step 29.Copy those m4a files to anywhere you want. Than open iNdependence, choose “Customize” tab, and than choose “Ringtones” > “System”. Press “Add to add those m4a files you want.

If it does not work for you, that means you used SendSong to set ringtones or you use any other similar softwares. Complete restore your iPhone may be needed.
Stage 5: Sticky EDGE setting
Step 30. Download the files from here. Open it using TextEdit.
Step 31. Scroll down and look for the word “EDIT HERE”. Modify it to the correct APNs, login ID and password. (Ask your provider to do so.)

Step 32. SSH into iPhone using Fugu. Upload the modified file in Step 31 to your iPhone’s “/var/root/Library/Preferences”. Overwrite the existing file and restart the iPhone.
END OF THE GUIDE

Can i use ANY simcard of any carrier with this method?
what if i try one and does not unlock? Can i keep trying with different sims until i find one that works?
please help me out on this one you guys!
thanks!
4. elfribo replies at 18th October 2007, 12:46 pm :
How about simfree is there another step or method to upload it? Or should we simply replace anysim w/ simfree in the guide and continue?
And pls what International Support does exactly, is it really needed?
Congrats for a well written, clear and concise guide!
5. admin replies at 18th October 2007, 1:05 pm :
marcospenido,
You can follow the guide from Step 5. There is no need for you to upgrade 1.1.1 at first. Just start from Step 5.
6. admin replies at 18th October 2007, 1:07 pm :
elfribo,
If you have unlocked using paid software in 1.0.2, there is no need to run the program again. You will be activated once you have finished step 13.
International support is really important to me.
It is because the telephone number will not be in US format again.
7. admin replies at 18th October 2007, 1:12 pm :
Luis,
As we always write, “try it at your own risk”. It is because there are thousands of mod method to iPhone, so we cannot and unable to ensure the method works for everyone. Some users report they can use any SIM card when they activated with iNdependence, while some do not. But during our test, it works perfectly.
We used the complicated guide:
http://www.winandmac.com/mobile/iphone/guide-to-unlock-iphone111-with-phone-enabled/
to jailbreak and activate iPhone 1.1.1. You cannot swap SIM card with that guide. But now, the new iNdependence 1.2.3 enables you to do so. So… We can just say, good luck to your iPhone.
Thanks for your comment anyway, we added some warning in this guide.

Please correct me if I am wrong at the beginning of your guide you are talking about INdependance 1.2.3 then in the middle
download links to 1.2.4.
I know 1.2.4 was released just hours ago is it not the case to correct the guide too and pinpoint to 1.2.4?

17. admin replies at 20th October 2007, 12:58 am :
andrew,
look at the pre-stage, we downloaded the original iPhone 1.0.2 firmware from apple, right?
And you must click option plus restore key together so that you will be able to choose the file
18. admin replies at 20th October 2007, 1:03 am :

Yes. We are currently trying now. And there will be a guide within today or tomorrow. Please keep checking.

step 13 says activate iphone 1.1.1 by clicking on the activate iphone tab
step 14 now says when your successfully jailbroken your iphone 1.1.1……. does this mean after step 13 u have to preform another jail break on the 1.1.1 iphone before u install SSH
22. g replies at 20th October 2007, 4:39 am :
OR does the activation in in step 13 leave the iphone jailbroken from the previous 1.0.2 jailbreak
23. admin replies at 20th October 2007, 4:54 am :
g,
when you special upgrade to iPhone 1.1.1, than click activate at step 13, you iPhone will be jailbroken at the same time.
The guide edited also. Thanks for your comments!

Did you click yes during this step?
26. foo bar replies at 20th October 2007, 4:24 pm :
Suggestion: You might want to advice ppl to clean up in the end by removing anySim and maybe disabling ssh if not root pw has been changed.

Btw, I’ve done three virgin 1.1.1 phones with this guide and it works like a charm. Great job guys….
28. stan replies at 21st October 2007, 12:29 am :
Worked (on a virgin 1.1.1) until step 13 where iNdependence says:
Error, couldn’t perform jailbreak. You need to downgrade to version 1.0.2, then perform the special upgrade to 1.1.1 (see Help documentation for more details).
Back at the start?
29. admin replies at 21st October 2007, 2:25 am :
stan,
Yes. sorry to say that. But did you finish step 8 correctly?
The first time I perform step 8, I tried to disconnect my Wi-Fi, it does not connect to my iPhone correctly, but it still said “Successful”. So I think if you wanna redo the steps, try to check your Wi-fi connection first.

I am stuck on the very 1st step. It says “Select the extracted iPhone 1.0.2 firmware.”. I have an iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore folder, with a Firmare subfolder and all_flash and dfu subfolders. I cannot select a single file in any of the folders/subfolders
32. Bill replies at 21st October 2007, 5:22 am :
Please ignore previous comment. Wasn’t aware I had to select the whole folder.
The error I am getting now is “Failure: Error entering recovery mode”. My iPhone is a 1.1.1 just out of the box. Do I have to activate it with iTunes (or iNdependence) prior to Ener FDU mode
33. Bill replies at 21st October 2007, 5:35 am :
And you can forget the previous as well (hope they don’t get published). I would advice readers to go through iNdepence Help file as it is an excellent resource.
Thanks for making this comprehensive guide
34. Daniel Sass replies at 21st October 2007, 8:36 am :
I have an iPhone v1.0.2 still in the box / untouched. What steps should (can) I take if I want to upgrade the firmware to 1.1.1 and have my phone SIM unlocked (the importance of course being more on the unlocking and less on the firmware upgrade?
In other words, am I still safer to stay with the 1.0.2 phone and stick with the 1.0.2 unlocks and not mess with the 1.1.1 update or is the current SIM unlock generally safe, reliable and workable on 1.1.1 update to a virgin 1.0.2 phone?
Last question. IF I want to go with the 1.1.1 SIM unlock, do I FIRST update my phone’s firmware from 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 before everything else or do I do the update from within the above steps?
Sorry so many questions, I’m just SOOOO scared I’m going to brick my new baby:(
Thanks

Please help, thanks a lot
36. admin replies at 21st October 2007, 2:20 pm :
bill,
if you got the ‘error entering recovery mode’, just restart the iNdependence and you will be fine.
Thanks for your comments, anyway!
37. admin replies at 21st October 2007, 2:22 pm :
NG,
Navigate to your folder means if you download the M68AP.plist into your desktop than, “cd ~/desktop”.
make sure you converted in using:
Step 25. Open Terminal, navigate to the ‘M68AP.plist’ folder. Type ‘plutil -convert xml1 M68AP.plist’.
or otherwise it will be opened look like a picture.
38. admin replies at 21st October 2007, 2:25 pm :
Daniel,
Start from step 5, you don’t need to upgrade to 1.1.1 first. Just start from step 5.
Make sure your iPhone 1.0.2 is not unlocked with old anySIM (that is anySIM 1.0.2).

It works …….. GREAT. Thank you very much this guide.
Now we to know how to update the iPhones that came with 1.0.x
If anybody knows this ….. please let us know.
Martin
42. elfribo replies at 21st October 2007, 7:42 pm :
please correct me if I am wrong:
in the introduction you r talking about INd 1.2.3 then few lines down you suggest to download 1.2.4 ( the newest one) will it be less confusing if you change the 1st with the latter?
2- in step 10 where it says host failed : to ignore the message isn’t “no” ( which is highlighted btw) or “Yes” we should hit?
logically to ignore the suggestion and question the answer should be “NO” or if we want it to fix it we should hit YES!
Otherwise the guide is vey clear; besides some snags in getting
wifi connection; it worked flawlessly for me (OOB 1.02 updated to 1.1.1 without any prior unlocking) I uploaded simfree, after 2 runs ( the 1st one says unothorized, pls contact your retailer, which I am! lol) it finally worked, it asked me to insert the OTHER SIm before starting and then asked if I want to remove the app once finished, not bad!
43. admin replies at 21st October 2007, 10:46 pm :
Martin, if your iPhone comes with 1.0.x, also start from step 5 and you will be fine.

- Step 10 :this step is the most aggravating, I did have hard time with it and I can read few more folks too had it wrong, failed ssh/known_hosts fix it no?
I am sure this is a glitch and few folks will be able to fix it manually not knowing where to look;
If there is a fix, the entire guide and the process will be a big hit!

You can. I tried. But notice you need to install SwapTunes and run it, or otherwise your iPhone’s stuff will be wiped. It is because iPhone can only synced with one computer.

Yes, I killed iTunesHelper (i checked using ps -aux | grep -i itunes)

I tried to unlock my 1.0.2 iPhone with Anysim a while ago and it didn’t work (performed some steps but then gave an error message - don’t remember exactly which). Is it not unlocked. Even though , is it safe to proceed with this solution, or the steps anysim performed (even though it didn’t finish the unlock) render this solution unapplicable?
Thanks

scheeko,
I think you may try to unlock your iPhone 1.0.2 with anySIM 1.1.1 first.
If you are successful to do so, than you can proceed to iPhone 1.1.1.
BUT I don’t recommend you to try it now, it is because the viriginizer server is down. Don’t try it now! You may brick your iPhone

Anyway, is your Mac on the IP with 192.168.1.X ( where X can be any number).
And I think you may also try to make your Mac to be an wireless router. That is, connect your Mac to internet with wire, than share it using the following method:

It sort of freezes at the first screen and the “Slide to unlock” doesn’t work?? No agreement text shows up….
Anything else is working fine - youtube, etc.
Anyone knows what this could be??

Hello!
Thank you for this very good tutorial. I’ve completed the steps from 5 to 19 (my iPhone was 1.0.2 Out of the box).Everyting works and I can use the iPhone with my Danish carrier.(well I actually had a problem in step 9 due to a wrong /etc/ssh_config file on my mac)
My problem is the Install.app. I get confused because the tutorial step 20 says that one should dowload the program from http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/. I’ve read various posts on forums and it seems that it is not good to install installer.app on an unlocked iPhone with 1.1.1 (seems not to be a problem on unlocked 1.0.2).
Sorry to put a ? on the tutorial but I just want to be sure not to bricking my precious.
Has someone completed all the steps and is satisfied with the overall result?
Another question is: Is it possible to uninstall SSH Dropbear from Independence (since some claim it takes battery time) and reinstall it later for a specific use?
Cheers
Jeff
81. admin replies at 24th October 2007, 1:01 pm :
Jeff,
Installer.app currently didn’t release any software for iPhone 1.1.1. But it works properly when you follow the steps above to put the program using SSH (rather than just double-clicking the Installer on Mac OS X).
And for SSH, iNdependence has released 1.2.5. You can always remove it from the iPhone. Just click the button.
82. admin replies at 24th October 2007, 1:03 pm :

You can get it work by SSH into your iPhone using Fugu.
Chmod the AnySIM.app, and the AnySIM.app/anysim to 755
try it again.
Make sure you chmode anySIM.app itself and its content to 755.

I couldn’t get Fugu to connect, så I tried Fetch - this seemed to work - and I dragged the extracted Anysim-file to the applications folder.

86. Jeff replies at 24th October 2007, 6:15 pm :
Hi again and thank you to admin and martinbc for your fast replies!
I’ve copied the Installer.app(version 3.1) to the iphone via Fugu. I got the icon but when I click on it, there is no Community Sources like in the guide.
In the “Install” tab, I have BSD Subsystem(ver 1.5), Launcher(ver 0.2), Mobile Terminal (ver svn113) and Summerboard (ver 2.11). In the “Update” tab, I have Installer (ver3.0b4).
In the “Uninstall” tab, I have Installer (ver 2.63).
In the “Sources” tab, I have Nullriver Software with a message “please upgrade Installer”
Well once again I’m confused. I tought I was installing version 3.1 but it seems that in fact I have installed version 2.63 and I’m asked to update to a version 3.0b4.
Any inputs?
Jeff
PS1: After visiting the tabs I went back to the sprinboard and now I have a small “1″ on the top right corner of the Installer’s
icon.
PS2: to Martin. In your Mac open a Terminal and go to the place where you have anySIM. When you are there, type “chmod 755 anySIM.app”. Then type “cd anySIM.app” and after “chmod 755 anySIM”.

Hi Jeff,
I got it to work :o)
I find out that the 775 had to do with the rights to Anysim (!) - I then used CyberduckFTP to connect (not too familiar with the terminal!) - right-clicked the Anysim app and adjusted the rights from there. I then rebooted and ran Anysim without problems.
So now it’s up and running with the Danish carrier Sonofon!
Next step - to get the international settings :o)

When I checked that, it copying over and now my iTunes account is showing in the iTunes Wifi Store.
So the only thing that doesn’t work now is YouTube. It shows this message:

hi
I’m stuck on steo 3 as well. The file iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw appears as a folder so i don’t know which file to use to restore it. I downloaded this from the link the guide says to use so I don’t know if it is 1.1.1. or 1.0.2 please help…thanks

You didn’t rename it correctly.
First, download that file above. Than change the file extension to .zip. Extract that file using StuffIt Expander. Rename that file extension back to .ipsw

This procedure managed to brick my phone, and after lots of sweating and trying to restore using iTunes (to 1.0.2 and 1.1.1) I was finally able to restore to 1.1.1 using a PC (but couldn’t do it on a Mac for some reason). I then used the jailbreakme.com method, which worked beautifully, and is completely reversible (I reversed it and did it again just to make sure).
The jailbreakme.com method took about 5 minutes, whereas this took much longer and turned my phone into a paperweight.
I highly recommend using the jailbreakme.com method instead of this method.

S.O.S. please!!
I am trying to unlock my iphone but I am stuck in steps 14 and 15! In step 14 I did not introduce a password, because I did not know where to do it (when clicking on the “change password” tab in Independence, it asked for my account name, which I don’t know..).
I kept on to step 15 with no problem, but then in 16 I got stuck: I typed the IP address, username (root), port (22) and directory (/) and clicked on “connect” but nothing happened. As I repeated it, I got the message “Warning: remote host identification has changed”.
I don’t know how to put the anySIM program under applications folder (I am not very familiarized with Mac yet).

It’s not about this method brick your iPhone, it’s about how you did. You can’t say that this guide is a shit because you did something wrong in the hacking process.

Did you downgrade your iPhone first before you upgrade to iPhone 1.1.1? When you use the Mac method, you need to downgrade your iPhone to 1.0.2 first before you use 1.1.1. It can caused by the iPhone is not downgraded successfully.

It’s normal to have error when you downgrade,
after that, activate your iPhone using iNdependence. Please follow the guide clearly.
180. Mike replies at 3rd November 2007, 10:42 am :
Hey, I’m going to have to agree with Temple here. I managed to unlock my phone using this method - but some things weren’t working (like YouTube) and sometimes when I’d try to sync to iTunes it the phone would keep reconnecting until I rebooted my Mac.
So I restored the phone, went over to jailbreakme.com, and within 5 minutes had an activated, unlocked, and jailbroken phone.
Your process is 33 (!!) steps. Jailbreakme.com requires only that you visit a URL and is completely foolproof. Look at the comments here and it’s obvious this method isn’t foolproof at all. I’m not coming down on you, but really, there’s no good reason to suggest this method over jailbreakme.com. You put a lot of work into this method and you clearly know your stuff (although you never managed to answer whether this method is reversible..) but there’s a much better method out there. You should do your readers a favor and point them toward it instead of having them go through the heart-pounding process you have here.
My $.02
181. admin replies at 3rd November 2007, 1:37 pm :
Mike,
you can always use jailbreakme.com method at:
http://www.winandmac.com/mobile/iphone/win-ultimate-guide-to-unlock-iphone-111-for-free/
We have wrote it for a long time ago already.
The mac method provides you another way to get it work.
And please read over the comments again, there are a lot of successful case here. We have also tried in at least 5+ iPhone (which have different conditions, (like bricked, incorrectly downgraded, OTB) and they are all successful with this method.
Anyway, thx for your comments and we just want to say this method is tested and works for us. We didn’t post the guide at least we tested completely. That’s why even there are already thousands of guides out there, and we still tested it completely to make sure it works for us, at least. We hope this will work for you all and get happy with iPhone.
Guide also updated to let you all choose to downgrade or use jailbreakme.com method

Great tutorial. Works fine in my 1.1.1 IPhone imported from USA here in France, under Bouygues telecom provider.
You should precise than when you say “Close ITunes”, you would have to close ITunes Helper too ; use the given Application monitor do do that each times you have to close ITunes. If ITunes runs when it shouldn’t be, just close ITunes, and re-plug your IPhone by USB.
The step 10 wasn’t needed for me before step 11, but needed before step 14. Nevertheless, Fugu wasn’t required as the INdependence tool have done it by himself.
After step 18 and before step 19, be sure to reboot our IPhone ; AnySIM will complete the process by asking your PIN Code.

My iPhone was unlock & working fine on TMobile running 1.0.2 and accidently upgraded to 1.1.2 & now I can not unlock it again. I’m Mac OS 10.4.11 with iTunes 7.5! Now I’m trying to iNdependence 1.3 but can’t copy the “MobileDevice” file. I’m getting this error: “Error copying MobileDevice library into the iNdependence application bundle”. I know this may sound stupid, but I appreciate your help on this again! Thank you!

My phone has version 1.1.1 and firmware 04.01.13_G. I unlocked it using anySim and its been working fine for weeks now. Suddenly, when I try to make calls, I don’t hear a ringtone or anything… but the calls are going through. Occassionally the problem goes away, but comes back again. Is it a hardware problem? Would restoring it work? Please help!

hkg,
You should subscribe to our feed and check out the latest news.
I have told nearly million times that out of the box iPhone 1.1.2 cannot be unlocked. And this guide stated clearly that only for iPhone 1.1.1

Quit iNdependence before you do anything else in iTunes.

A problem with steps 10-12. I also clicked ok before going and setting up the iPhone in iTunes so I never got the ‘Verification failed, cannot update’ error, but any way I delete al from FUGU - Knows hosts. I tried updating to 1.1.1 in iTunes but it’s giving me a 1015 error cannot update. After that Independence dont connect with my phone.
I try it one more time to upgrade 1.1.1. but now it’s give me a 1064 error.
Now in Independence show Firmware 1.1.1. and I cant not activate Phone… and “Error, couldn’t perform jailbreak. You need to downgrade to version 1.0.2, then perform the special upgrade to 1.1.1 (see Help documentation for more details).”
Can anyone offer any help?

Hello,
I am sorry if this is to basic, but I have an old iphone that was unlocked through software, it is now at the 1.0.2 firmware. I haven’t connect it to itunes yet. I wanted to know what should I do, upgrade it to 1.1.2 using this guide? Should I do anything else since my iphone is already unlocked? Can I connect it to iTunes without worries? Thank you!!
251. admin replies at 26th December 2007, 2:01 am :
Raphael,
read the iPhone ultimate guide page
252. Raphael replies at 26th December 2007, 10:27 am :
Thank you Admin.
After I read all the guides I still have a few doubts.
My iphone modem firmware is 03.14.08G, can I virginize it using the guide here or should I use a software like the one in unlock.no?
Differences between unlocking the iphone through jailbreak and through the other method here are that with jailbreak I don’t have to downgrade it, but if I use the other guide here to virgin my iphone I will end up with a 1.0.2 firmware, isn’t that right? Then I wouldn’t be downgrading my phone, I would be updating it to 1.0.2 from 1.0.2 and then to 1.1.1, is that it, did I got it all right? Thank you once again!!!!

Raphael,
At 1.0.2, virgin your iPhone with the following guide:
http://www.winandmac.com/mobile/iphone/unlock-iphone-112-via-downgrade/
than, you should end up “incorrect SIM” error. That’s normal.
After all, upgrade your iPhone to 1.1.2 using the following guide:

Admin,
OK so this is really not working for me right now. I’ve downgraded my 1.1.2 out of the box phone to 1.0.2. But when upgrading it back to 1.1.1 there are several complications. First, the button thats supposed to say ‘Pre 1.1.1 Upgrade’ for me says ‘Pre Firmware Upgrade.’ Second, whenever I do this update/upgrade through itunes my iphone goes back to that “itunes sign and usb cable” screen. What do i do now?
257. K replies at 9th March 2008, 5:28 am :
I have a problem and I was wondering if anyone could help. I unlocked my phone successfully…however, when I connected it to my PC - an update of 1.1.1 popped up and NOW my phone crashed and for some reason it blocks my calls and will only allow emergancy calls.
Thanks..
Please reply if you have any ideas ?
K.

K,
Take a look of the iPhone new guide for 1.1.4, it works pretty well.
Basically you now just need to restore to 1.1.4, then click “do it all” by ZiPhone or iNdependence.
