iPhone 1.1.4 Upgrade, Downgrade, Activate, Jailbreak, Unlock Horror Story!

28 February 2008 4,242 views 177 Comments

Once iNdependence v 1.4b5 was released with 1.1.4 support, I went ahead and updated the iPhone (16GB 1.1.3 OTB unlocked using iJailbreak)from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 via iTunes which gave me an error. I repeated the same and the update went fine and now I have version 1.1.4 installed on the iPhone.

I then fired iNdependence trying to jailbreak/activate my iPhone. I hit the Activate button and it didn’t respond in a timely fashion showing me the Jailbreak screen. I then hit the Jailbreak tab to Jailbreak the iPhone which gave me positive results. I now proceeded by clicking on the activate button and it sorta activated the iPhone but I saw no signal. It being unlocked previously in an IPSF manner using iJailbreak, I never realized that I had to use signal.app to get a signal on 1.1.4 . I took an extreme step and hit the unlock button at this stage which promptly alerted me saying I need not unlock the iPhone if I used IPSF – I ignored it! It gave an error message saying the unlock failed.

The horror story begins now – I see the famous – no WiFi, no Bluetooth, no IMEI, no modem firmware on the newly updated 16GB 1.1.4 iPhone.

It was a little scary at this time. I almost lost faith in my iPhone troubleshooting skills! I then tried something interesting – downgrade to 1.1.3 using iTunes. All I did is hold the ‘opt’ key and hit the restore button – browsed the 1.1.3 Restore firmware file and boom, the restore was underway! MAGIC!! I did not put the iPhone in DFU mode , it started downgrading to 1.1.3 and finally it finished with the downgrade!

I then used iJailbreak as usual and took a bold decision yet again – i.e to unlock and jailbreak the 1.1.3 iPhone and hey, it worked a charm this time around! Not to mention that WiFi, Bluetooth, IMEI back to where they belong!! The iPhone is wiped clean, the entire 14.6 GB is showing ‘Free’. It is working great now! I just restored to a 1.1.2 backup from iTunes. Yeah, weird tries but I am a happy man at the end of the day. I don’t have to fake to Apple saying my 20 day old 16GB iPhone died all of a sudden ;)

Verdict : Don’t use iNdependence and don’t upgrade to 1.1.4 yet. Trust me, you will save a ‘heart attack’ in the process!!

  • billy said:

    had the same problem after using 16 gig and using independence BUT instead of downgrading …i upgraded to 1.1.4 again to get my phone and wifi again and then tried the SimUnlock again but same thing happen again ..”Repair needed error” so i gave it a third shot with updating the phone again and getting wifi and phone back and hence tried the unlock again and it worked eventhough it said at the end that it failed.

  • kiran (author) said:

    Hi Billy! So you updated your iPhone to 1.1.4 twice to get it back to work? Cool, I should have tried that but I am sorta happy with 1.1.3. After installing Dock on 1.1.3, coverflow stopped working (contacts, iPod), a restart fixed it though.

    But, do you get to see the apps on your homescreen in 1.1.4?

  • Martin said:

    Hello. I have exactly the same horror story. But mine is not a happy ending. I still can’t make the iPhone unlock to any SIM. It doesn’t work on ATT or T-Mobile. No signal. How did you do it? I am pc user, so I can’t use iJailbreak. Thanks.

  • kiran (author) said:

    Martin, I recommend you to downgrade to 1.1.3 as described and then use ziphone GUI to unlock your iphone :)

    check my post on ziphone GUI for windows and download the latest version!!

  • Ivan said:

    hi i got 1.1.4 and i want to have 1.1.1 how can i get this to work ANY ONE PLEASE HELP!!

    my email is
    Ivan_tribes@hotmail.com

  • kiran (author) said:

    Hi Ivan. Any specific reason why you want only 1.1.1?? I suggest 1.1.3/1.1.2… For 1.1.3 just hold opt (mac)/ shift (windows) key and browse to the firmware file (I tried with 1.1.3) and hit restore in iTunes :)

  • rob said:

    hey kiran (or anyone else),

    can you be alittle more detailed in your explanation of this downgrade via itunes? when do i hold down the apple key, etc?

    i was toying with my 1.1.3 jailbroken iphone last night and something happened, had to restore. now i have 1.1.4 and i miss my jailbroken options dearly. haha

  • kiran (author) said:

    @ Rob : All I did was hold the Opt key (Mac) / Shift (Windows) and clicked on restore button iTunes and restored it to 1.1.3 … Did not put the iPhone in DFU mode at all. So, don’t hold the home button/ power buttons like before..

  • Daniel said:

    Hey,

    I just upgraded my iPhone 1.1.3 (unlocked, jailbroken and activated using Ziphone)to 1.1.4.
    It was a 1.1.2 OTB Week 44 with Bootloader 3.9.

    Now I have a 1.1.4 jailbroken, activated and unlocked.

    This Ziphone.org method is really easy.

  • rob said:

    kiran,

    i got what ur sayin about the opt restore, but where can i find a copy of the 1.1.3 firmwear?
    i thought i had found it on my imac under library>itunes>iphone software updates>iphone 1,1_1.1.3_4a93.ipsw but when i chose that one i got an error. are there any clean versions of 1.1.3 that i can download that will work?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Download the firmwares here : http://ilikemyiphone.com/?page_id=162

  • SpooN said:

    I have an OTB 1.1.3 iphone upgraded to 1.1.4 unlocked with ZiphoneOSX. I’ve tried downgrading to 1.1.3 and 1.1.2 and i keep getting a error and the end of the restore……….PLZ HELP

  • iw said:

    impossible to downgrade from 1.1.4 to 1.1.3
    Error 1015 on itunes..
    i do it with press on shift restore and it run half way it show error!!!

  • kiran (author) said:

    @ SpooN : Error is quite common, error 1015 actually means that 1.1.3 is restored and it is waiting for iNdependence to boot the iPhone to HomeScreen. Once homescreen shows, just launch iJailbreak to unlock the iPhone :)

    @ iw : It ran fullway!! iNdependence will kick it out of the 1015 error (DFU) mode :) I just finished troublshooting this error (1.1.4 downgraded to 1.1.3 with error 1015).

  • rob said:

    this is so piecey. can anyone post a step by step?

  • rob said:

    sorry dudes, im kind of a noob at this, just jailbroke first time last weekend (ziphone). no experience with independence or iJailbreak…

  • rob said:

    ok so independence doesnt work on iTunes 7.6.1

    kiran got a link for 7.6?

  • kiran (author) said:

    iNdependence work for iTunes 7.6.1, I tried it today. It can be used to kick out of the 1015 error message while downgrading to 1.1.3 from 1.1.4. I suggest iJailbreak or ZiPhone for unlocking though :)

    TRY TO USE ZiPhone it works
    i did it

  • rob said:

    kirin. ur the man. no more trouble shooting for me. installer.app is going to be abuuuuuuuused

  • kiran (author) said:

    Nick : will try ZiPhone, I’m comfortable with iJailbreak and INdependence for Mac and ZiPhone for Windows!!

    Rob : Let us all know ur experiences with apps on 1.1.3. , no much time in hand; atleast till spring break!!

  • tic said:

    Use ziphone 2.5 works perfectly.

  • tic said:

    Also…the springB for 1.1.4 work perfectly ;) and there are some wonderful themes….

  • MyPhone said:

    can anyone please help me out, iam trying to downgrade from 1.1.4 to 1.1.3, i used ibricker it didnt work, i keep gettin the error 1015,, i downloaded iNdependence and i dont know how to use it, please reply i’ve restored my phone atleast 15 times in the past 24hours

  • kiran (author) said:

    @ Myphone : Error 1015 is pretty common and it is very friendly :) Once you get the famous error 1015, quit iTunes and launch iNdependence, it should kick the hell out of the error message and show you the home screen. Im sorry you had to try so many times to get around, iNdependence should fix it in about 5 seconds at most!

  • jak said:

    thanks for this post!! i want my touch unlocked but couldn’t find an easy way to downgrade from 1.1.4.
    On a side note:: Zipod is the best program to use for unlocking your ipod to get more stuff on it. Believe me, i have tried tonnes!!
    :)

  • Jay said:

    Hi I am having real trouble downgrading to 1.1.3 from 1.1.4 getting the 1015 error how can I get round this please? At the moment I have a phone that is no good to me on 1.1.4 and I cant get Ziphone to do the unlock?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Jay, please refer to comment # 33 on this page.

  • Jay Davies said:

    Thats great many thanks… one more quick thing how can I tell which BL my phone is?

  • MyPhone said:

    kiran i got independence but i cant access it when click the icon it tells me to choose a program to run it on, please reply, thanks

  • kiran (author) said:

    Oops, I believe you are on Windows then. I suggest you use iBrickr to kick it out of the DFU mode (1015).

  • MyPhone said:

    thank you karin, i really appreciate it

  • MyPhone said:

    anybody know why customize wont do any customization?

  • jeronimo said:

    when i try restoring it, i have a 1.1.4 iphone jailbreaked,activated and unlocked with ziphone 2.5 itunes tells me that an unknown error occured (1), any ideas? i tried to restore it to 1.1.2 thank you

  • kiran (author) said:

    I never restored to 1.1.2 from 1.1.4, I did do to 1.1.3 though – check out http://ilikemyiphone.com/?p=171

  • pascale calvillo said:

    did you have your sim in there while doing the whole process?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Yep, you can put in your own sim (T-Mobile or non-ATT sim) for the whole process!

  • J said:

    hi there..

    sorry if im repeat a question already asked. but i tried to hold on to the opt key and nothing appeared at all! at which stage should i be doing this?

    also, iNdependence does not seem to work for me as well.. pls help =( thanks so much

  • kiran (author) said:

    Well, if you are on Windows, then you should hold the Shift key and Option key on a Mac.

    iNdependence is also only for a Mac.

    Visit http://ilikemyiphone.com/?page_id=173 and decide on the right tool.

  • Oana said:

    I had an 1.1.2 iPhone working perfectly on non aT&T networks with a chip inserted on top of the SIM. I installed some new application and the iPhone crashed. I had to restore it with iTunes so I automatically got the 1.1.4.
    How can I now downgrade to 1.1.3 if iTunes only shows me the Activate iPhone screen??

  • kiran (author) said:

    Oana : I suggest you use ZiPhoneGUI to put the iPhone in DFU mode and then you can restore it to 1.1.3 via iTunes :)

  • Oana said:

    Kiran: THAANK YOU! It worked :)

  • kiran (author) said:

    I am glad it worked :) Have fun now!

  • Jon said:

    kiran:independence keeps crashing! i downgraded 1.1.4 to 1.1.3 and got the famous error. then the screen on the phone had the “connect to itunes” icon on it. i open independence and it crashes. side note: when the phone isn’t connected to the computer it doesn’t crash, but as soon as i connect it, crash! any thoughts?

  • Jon said:

    seems that ziphone was the answer for me! worked using that.

  • kiran (author) said:

    Ha haa, there you go!! You din’t give me much time to answer it did u ;) ZiPhone is a great tool!!

  • David said:

    Hey Kiran(or others who can help in answering my Qs),
    I was wondering what is the difference between a DFU mode vs. a recovery mode and when do you use them. I am planning to get an iphone within the next week and was wondering what I need to do to jailbreak/activate/unlock becuase i have tmobile?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Hey David, trust me it is soo easy! I would suggest iPlus v1.2 though (check my newer posts) … Don’t worry about DFU and Recovery mode, they both mean the same. Putting your iPhone in DFU mode allows you to restore it to factory settings.

    It is a one step unlock, so don’t worry!

  • David said:

    Kiran,
    I saw the iPlus forum and it states that it is for iphones that are 1.1.4. Now is the OTB or it can be 1.1.2/1.1.3 updated to 1.1.4?

    I am know I will most likely be getting a 1.1.3 OTB iphone. But just incase I want to check before unlocking, how do I check which FW is the on there?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Yep, it is for 1.1.4 iPhones, you can restore any version iPhone to 1.1.4 and proceed with iPlus…

    You may get a 1.1.4 OTB if you bought one now… You can guess the firmware by seeing at the 4th and 5th numbers of iPhone’s serial #… Don’t worry about the firmware, everything is unlockable right now!!

  • David said:

    Ok cool I will most certainly unlock with iPlus, but iPlus doesn’t seem to have a GUI like Ziphone. do you know if its currently in the works? Another thing is the what is the diff between a baseband and boatloader?

  • ket said:

    hey Kiran, I am noob to this whole unlock jailbreak activate thing :-( I have version 1.0.2 fully unlocked with you tube etc how do I upgrade to 1.1.4? I'm totatly lost as to which way is best easiest and obviously more stable!! Im on windows btw thanks Ket

  • kiran (author) said:

    iPlus command line is an absolute nobrainer, just drag and drop some stuff on to the command prompt and that’s it, anyways a gui should surface soon….

    baseband is vital for the phone to boot and it remains the same forever!

    Baseband is related to the communication part(gsm radio), it can be upgraded for stability purposes…..

  • kiran (author) said:

    @ Ket : I suggest using iPlus if you need 1.1.4… I will do a step by step guide soon, it is so easy, restore to 1.1.4 and the run iPlus – can’t get any easier!!

  • Oliver said:

    ok
    I have a 1.1.2 OTB iPhone. My bootloader is 3.9.
    I am running firmware 1.1.1 fully activated, unlocked, jailbroken. My carrier is UNICEL in Vermont.
    Can I restore my iPhone through iTunes to 1.1.4?
    then unlock, activate, and jailbrake using ziphone 2.5? Please help. I want to be in 1.1.4. Thanks
    and again i am running 1.1.1 wondering if i can
    restore to 1.1.4 using iTunes then unlock using ziphone 2.5?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Yep, you can definitely do that! iPLus/ZiPhone should happily work!

  • Oliver said:

    hey thanks
    now I am unlocked using unicel in 1.1.4
    is there a program that will turn off edge without going into airplane mode? Services and itoggle don’t work
    any ideas?can somebody make one for 1.1.4?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Well, all I can suggest is to use fake edge settings for your carrier. Services used to be the best way but yeah, don’t input your edge settings, lemme know if it works :)

  • Oliver said:

    ANYBODY WHO WANTS A 1.1.4 UNLOCKED IPHONE OR ANY OTHER KIND, USE ZIPHONE 2.5 (ziphone.org) ALSO USE 1.1.4 IT IS BY FAR THE BEST SOFTWARE

  • Oliver said:

    I did not input my settings
    somehow it does it anyway
    hhmm
    do you mean just set fake edge so the Pune can’t connect?

  • oliver said:

    so i went into network settings and I just clicked edge
    then i just typed in some random numbers
    should this mess up edge so that it can’t connect?
    i would like it to

  • oliver said:

    oh thanks
    i turned edge of !!

  • oliver said:

    off =)

  • dave said:

    hi, guys i have 1.1.3 unlocked iphone…i need help to upgrade it to 1.1.4. and nothing is it save? everything work fine? and if they are yes it 100% perfect how do i upgrade it to 1.1.4? i need the step i am kind of new to this… thank you guys for helping…

  • Oliver said:

    alright
    so first of all 1.1.4 is amazing it fixed a lot of problems on my phone
    to upgrade do a full restore to 1.1.4 through iTunes
    then download ziphone 2.5 (ziphone.org)
    after your iPhone is fully restored to 1.1.4
    run ziphone.
    Have it unlock and jailbrake
    after this you should be unlocked (if uupgraded using the dev teams method through installer, you will need to select new phone in iTunes
    tell if this works it worked for me

  • Oliver said:

    oh make sure that u place ur sim in AFTER. Unlocking using ziphone

  • dave said:

    so i need to take my sim out in order to follow the step first then do all upgrade?

  • Oliver said:

    it works better with the at&t chip but it can be done with a non at&t sim
    I did mine with the original chip that came with the phone
    Let us know if it works!=)

  • Ben said:

    Oliver, if my iPhone is already unlocked and running 1.1.3, I do not have to do anything before running itunes to upgrade to 1.1.4? It won’t screw up the phone?

    Once upgraded to 1.1.4, just run ziphone and run unlock unlock and jailbreak?

    Thanks for the help.

  • Oliver said:

    hey man
    this operation will not mess up the phone
    first of all, do a full restore through iTunes to 1.1.4
    then download ziphone 2.5 (I always check the programs to make sure they are the correct program, ziphone 2.5 is correct)
    after the restore is finished, quit iTunes
    run ziphone and click DO IT ALL (unlock activate jailbreak so on)
    wait about 2 minutes and then insert the sim card u would like (I did this with my at&t card in. I think u can do it with yours but I would use the card that came with the phone)
    after this you iPhone will be unlocked
    hope this helps
    it worked for me and I love my iPhone
    tell us if it works =)

  • Oliver said:

    oh ben I forgot
    if u used the dev team upgrade through installer, u will have to select NEW PHONE in iTunes after u are unlocked.
    Hope it works!!! =)

  • Oliver said:

    dave and ben and others
    refur to comment number 45 on this page for the answer about ur sim

  • Oliver said:

    all u out there who want not have to pay for edge just turn it off by going into settings>general>network>edge and type in your name to all of the fields click save and it will save
    this will turn off ur edge settings

  • dave said:

    oh btw i cant seem to get ziphone 2.5 they came out with a new version 2.6b what that all about?

    thanks

  • Kiran (author) said:

    Well, no more ZiPhone for me until Zibri uses fake bootloader instead of a force downgrade in an unsafe manner. I go with iPlus, the best! Don’t restore or go back to 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 if you use iPlus though…

  • dave said:

    kiran well im new to this can u like tell me y. and why would u want to downgrade it anyway? what is the purpose?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Well Oliver, I feel we should let the users know the dangers involved in using ZiPhone…. I prefer iPlus which uses a fake BL hence much safer, I have already covered this .. visit http://ilikemyiphone.com/?p=221 for iPlus …

  • Oliver said:

    Yes Kiran
    ok everybody here it is
    ziphone is a great app but for a less risky unlock use iplus dave
    so sorry can’t seem to help u ask kiran
    I have unlocked my iPhone with ziphone but I took a large risk
    (I had Bren playing with my iPhone for three months and did not care what happened)
    kiran anything else u want to say?
    I will post a blog about this and I will try iplus myself

  • kiran (author) said:

    As far as my experience goes with ZiPhone and iPlus : I will stick with iPlus cos’ we can revert back completely to factory settings whenever we want which ain’t possible with ZiPhone. iPlus is a no-nonsense software!

  • oliver said:

    i just don’t
    know

    ben and I both unlocked perfectly using ziphone
    could somebody post a link for iPlus?

  • Kiran (author) said:

    Well, even I used ZiPhone, it is not that it doesn’t work but it is that the problem is with the bootloader downgrading. I am not sure if you have heard about the tiff between Zibri and the Dev team and the code stolen ….

    Well iPlus : http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=34049

  • Oliver said:

    hey
    does anyone know about the new soon to be released firmware 2.0? Will it be unlockable?
    when will the app store be available to us?

  • Suresh said:

    One quick question. Most of the time on every website it says make sure your iPhone is on 1.1.4 firmware. But my question is when you purchase your new iPhone, how can some one tell by just looking at the box that if its a 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 firmware.

    Also is the Apple store person can tell the customer what would be the firmware on the purchased iPhone?

    Can it be checked through the box before purchasing it.

    I mean if the requirement for this utility is to have your iPhone be on 1.1.4, then it would be important to make sure if it really is. Can some one explain or if i am missing some thing here..?

  • oliver said:

    hey
    ur iphone is most deffinatelly 1.1.4 if u just bought it
    don’t worry just plug in the phone download ziphone and run it!!

    my phone just crashed and i dont know why, i tried to download the 2pac theme, is there something that i need to know? someone please reply

  • kiran (author) said:

    well if it is the first time it crashed, welcome to the world of hacking, it happens every now and then… if it is a recurring problem, thats something to worry about :)

  • iphonez said:

    i understand about hacking but I was thinking maybe something about that source or file. anyone has a list of trusted sources?

    HI…!!
    yesterday i tried to restore 1.1.4 by using itune7.3 and i got error.
    i tried two times by using same itune i tried to restore 1.0.2 and I got success…!!
    (by using ziphone I done jailbrake and activation and surprising…!!! iphone got unloacked also ??)

    Is it required to have some specific version of itune to restore 1.1.4????
    If yes where I will get it?
    Please reply as early as possible
    Thanks
    sandy

  • kiran (author) said:

    sandy : iTunes 7.6 is a MUST for 1.1.4… Go to apple.com/iTunes and download the latest version and you are all set!

  • myphone said:

    anyone know some good sources to add?

  • myphone said:

  • David said:

    Hey i have a question to anyone who has just bought an iphone recently (assuming its 1.1.4 OTB) and have used the iPLUS software on it.

    Has it worked with no flaws on the iphone? Meaning do all the features work properly (youtube, wifi, itoogle, etc…)?

  • kiran (author) said:

    David : I am yet to see a 1.1.4 OTB! But that doesn’t matter since bootloader is not changed with 1.1.4 and it is still at 4.6…. Just use iPlus and you are good to go! It worked without a hitch… Go ahead and DO it :)

  • David said:

    Hey kiran, the reason why i ask that is becuase i dont want to deal with issues and than go looking for bug fixes and all that. i guess that is what everyone wants but i’d rather do it right the 1st time and get it over with… hope you know what i mean.

  • dave said:

    hi, guys how can i clean out my iphone and restart everything over from the start? i want it fresh out of the box which it was locked again i want to have everything erase and just start all over. and then i want to unlock it again. and when it say 3.9-fakeblank Bootloader and unlock 1.1.4 using iPlus 2.0b what do the fakeblank bootloader to anyway what is the purpose of it? y not upgrade it?

  • Kiran (author) said:

    dave : fakeBL lets you completely get back to the pristine factory state. With the release pwnage though, it changed! All the iPhones screwed by ZiPhone can now be back to work using BootNeuter… I suggest you hold off for some time before it is tested and verified completely :)

  • dave said:

    my iphone is kind of acting funny. i want to start all over what do i do can u give me advice PLEASE!!!!! -=\ . and so u saying i should stick with ziphone? cuase if i do it just original bootloader. and if i use iplus 2.0 that will give me the 3.9-fakeblank Bootloader. what u suggest and please tell me how to restart my iphone all over please thank for the help -=D

  • kiran (author) said:

    Simple : Just restore your iPhone to 1.1.4 using iTunes as described here http://ilikemyiphone.com/?p=221 you won’t get the original bootloader back since you used ZiPhone already… but not to worry, BootNeuter helps you get back to original! For now restore and use iPlus / iLiberty+ :)

  • dave said:

    -=D thanks you soo much of the great information.

  • dave said:

    oh btw i heard there alil issue with using iplus. i heard that voice mail or mail and youtube dont work using iplus. is that true. anything else that going to have an error when using iplus? is it as good as ziphone or better?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Much better than ZiPhone! I had no issues with iPlus 2.0b ever! Just the latest versions of iTunes / iPlus helps :) Follow my iPlus posts for details :)

  • dave said:

    can u give me some stuff that are alil better? or anything? cause i dont really know the different. and i alway though they are the same because they are just programs to unlock the iphone. and nothing much

  • kiran (author) said:

    Well, the best i can offer is : iLiberty+ :: Download it from http://ilikemyiphone.com/?page_id=173 Use the right version (Windows / Mac)…

  • dave said:

    how do i use iplus with window because i dont have mac. im trying to use iplus 2.0b. thankss

  • ethan said:

    Anyone knows how to downgrade the iphone firmware 1.1.4 to 1.1.3. It will be great if you can share the steps by steps guide as to how to downgrade it. I have a problem to download all package as I get an error in downloading packing with firmware 1.1.4. I believe, the only solution is to download the firmware. Am i right ? Please reply

  • Kiran (author) said:

    ethan : I strongly recommend you to stick to 1.1.4 … Just restore to 1.1.4 and follow iLiberty+ for the best results cos’ 1.1.3 is old school now :) 1.1.4 poses no visible issues so far!

  • zz said:

    Kiran i’ve already unlocked my phone using Ziphone, should i restore and use iLiberty+? how will it affect it upgrading to 1.1.4?

  • kiran (author) said:

    zz : Well, the only issue with ZiPhone was BootLoder which is fixed by BootNeuter (http://ilikemyiphone.com/?p=252) …

  • zz said:

    sorry i dont understand

  • Mick said:

    Quick question that may of been answered above, I have a OTB 1.1.3 unlocked using ziPhone iPhone that I am using on Tmobile. To upgrade to 1.1.4, can I just restore using iTunes, then download ziPhone 2.5 and run it? If not, what it the easiest way to get 1.1.4 on it?

    Thank you

  • kiran (author) said:

    Mick : http://ilikemyiphone.com/?p=174 Easiest….

    pls help… i cant even see it in itunes or any other jailbreakin software..

  • Kiran (author) said:

    Text on the screen probably refers to iLiberty or ZiPhone being used to unlock your iPhone. Please be more specific (firmware/tool used/xp/mac…) for a better resolution…

  • zz said:

  • jon said:

    iLiberty+ : Search on this site. http://ilikemyiphone.com/?p=221

  • Thomas said:

    One more thing (see #159). The original phone was unlocked with Zibri's Ziphone. So from what I've read, I need extra special help. Any ideas?

  • Thomas said:

    I just purchased an unlocked and jailbroken iphone off of ebay. It was running 1.1.4 and is only 1 month old. The seller decided to update it to 2.0. Now the phone doesn’t work for tmobile. When I get the phone in my grubby little hands how do I get my tmobile card to work?

  • Jimmy said:

    hey all,
    I have recently bought an iphone.
    I have AT&T but want to use an unlocked iphone so i don’t have to pay for the data plan. I unlocked my iphone using Ziphone and when i put my AT&T sim card in it…i have no service. i have little dots only in the upper left corner…i am wondering if hat i want is impossible? i have tried with 1.1.4 and 1.1.3. i have also tried iliberty.

  • kiran (author) said:

    Jimmy : You best bet would be to
    Update to 1.1.4 via iTunes
    Then use iLiberty + to activate it, you need not unlock it for ATT.

    You may also try iPhone 2.0 but should use pwnage or winpwn.

  • Jimmy said:

    kiran,
    so you are saying if i do this you think i could just use my regular cingular sim card that i use in my other phones for AT&T in the iphone without paying for the data plan?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Well that’s what I have been doing ever since I got this iPhone! Though I needed data plan,added Media Net for $20. Never signed a contract!!

    You should disable EDGE/3G access though to avoid huge bills!

  • Jimmy said:

    ok sounds good!
    and this is for the old iphone not the 3g correct?

  • kiran (author) said:

    Yep yep, the older iPhone!!

  • Jimmy said:

    also, how do i update to 1.1.4 via itunes when my phone is currently unlocked at 1.1.3

  • kiran (author) said:

    By downloading 1.1.4 firmware file from downloads section on this site. Use iTunes and hit restore button holding the Shift(Windows), Option(MAC) key and selecting the file! Simple huh!

  • Jimmy said:

    yes it is. and also..when you say my phone doesnt need to be unlocked to use my att sim…does that mean i should just go in iliberty + and only check activate?

  • Jimmy said:

    like what if my phone is already unlocked..

  • mmm said:

    I found out the right way to fix the issue where-in you don’t get any signals on t-mobile (or any other GSM carrier) once you upgrade to firmware 2.0 and then downgrade back to 1.1.4…the detailed instructions are at : http://iphone-tmobile-nosignal.blogspot.com/

  • David said:

    I took my iphone to a guy to unlock it and jailbreak it.. The unlock and jailbreak worked however, it didn't activate the phone. So now the iphone is sitting ont he screen that says NO SIM CARD INSTALLED, please insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate iphone… does anyone know how to fix this.

  • Nonya said:

    I have researched a few tricks for the iphone myself. I would suggest waiting for the new firmware upgrades to take efffect. Upgrading now would only leave you stuck.
