What took iPhone Devs months took GeoHot hours to find a true Unlock! It is not based on JerrySim baseband downgrade method but a lot more straightforward!! GeoHot hints that this can be applied to 1.1.3 OTB iPhones too, so hold your breath! Come Sunday and everyone can flash their iPhones with non-Cingular signals! Thats good news to iPhones all over the world. I am yet to verify this unlock method but hey, it is GeoHot who found it, the father of iPhone Hacking 🙂 Please donate to GeoHot for his fantabulous work that worked to benefit the whole of iPhone Community 🙂 It is a matter of time before the complete guide sees the light of day! iPhone Devs : We are disappointed 🙁 Join hands with the best in talent and contribute for a cause 🙂

    ADMIN!

    hey bro, I tried downgrading to 1.0.2 but when i SHIFT+RESTORE and install 1.0.2 restore file it says it cannot install. Thats ok but my concern is this, I am stuck on 1.1.1 how do I get back up to 1.1.2 because I already installed Oktoprep on 1.1.1 iphone then downloaded the firmware file for 1.1.2 restore by using the SHIFT+RESTORE technique and I get the wire connect to itunes with EMERGENCY CALL ONLY in about 3 languages, yeah i know btw that that is ok I was following your tutorial for jailbreak 1.1.2, then I ran jailbreak.jar and I clicked the box INSTALL SSH then clicked on JAILBREAK! Now, when I click that, I get an error message saying this:

    THIS UTILITY CAN ONLY BE USED IF YOU HAVE ALREADY RUN OKTOPREP BEFORE UPDATING TO 1.1.2.

    What am I doing wrong now, I followed your tutorial just right.

    The only exception I did is instead of clicking UPDATE like you said, I did SHIFT+RESTORE with ipsw file for restoring it to 1.1.2, should i click update anyway or should i just click RESTORE as is with no shift? I need help please…

    Thanx a bunch ADMIN.!

    use shift+update after u install oktoprep then you should be able to jailbreak 1.1.2

    @ Anirudh : You should have followed the latest updated guide here http://ilikemyiphone.com/wordpress/?p=161 🙁 May I know your iPhone details (Firmware/BootLoader). When you say stuck , do you mean it stopped responding?? You must have left it to do its work cos’ it might take some time. Anyways, does iTunes recognize the iPhone?? If yes, update it to 1.1.3 via iTunes and then proceed with the steps in the new link 🙂

    the thing is that i got a new iphone 1.1.2 OTB and then i jailbroke it and activated it back to iphone 1.1.2 BL 4.6
    now i tried to unlock it through this procedure given here and it got stuck as in . there is no WiFi anymore on my phone and it says it cant make any calls or recieve any and go to iphone support.
    however, Itunes does recognize my phone as 1.1.2 only but does not go to the recovery mode as it asks me to restore it and update it to 1.1.3
    should i upgrade it to 1.1.3. from itunes. wont it spoil it for me and then i will have to wait until 1.1.4 is that true

    i know what you are saying
    my firmware is 1.1.2 and BL 4.6
    i had jailbroken it already and activated it back as 1.1.2 BL 4.6
    but again i tried to unlock it with this procedure given above and then after the whole thing got over. it just reloaded my iphone and now there is no WiFi on my iphone at all. so i cant do anything. itunes does recognize my iphone and asks me to restore and update to 1.1.3.
    can you help me out in moredetail please

    Quick question:

    I'm not new to all this, but one thing is stumping me.

    I had a 1.1.2 OTB. I now have a jailbroken, soft upgrade 1.1.3, 4.02.13_G modem firmware, and using a turbosim. Everything works fine.

    I hear that the baseband is downgraded in this unlock. And I also hear that if you upgrade the firmware with itunes it automatically upgrades the baseband which will/may (?) "re-lock" the (unlocked) phone. I like the idea of having a "freed" phone and be able to upgrade via itunes whenever a new firmware is released. But, I don't think that's what this unlock provides.

    Is there a reason for me to unlock? Are there any advantages to unlocking vs. what I have already done?

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    @ Anirudh : I am sorry, I missed your comment. You might have resolved the issue by now. Will be more attentive from now on 🙂

    @ R.K : Good for u 😉

    @ James : Yep, the best advantage is no more mess ups with the firmware, let iTunes do its work and we will do the rst using ZiPhoneGUI and iJailbreak!!

    @ Jack : Yep, you can still unlock it!! Use iJailbreak/ZiPhoneGUI..
