ZiPhoneGUI – Activate, Jailbreak and Unlock 4.6 BL iPhones for Windows Users

Kiran Konathala • February 14, 2008 • 1 min read

UPDATE : Download ZiPhone Latest Release for Windows. A Mac version of the same can be had here.

ZiPhone GUI is built by i.unlock.no which is based on GeoHot’s unlock script which was generalized by Zibri 🙂 ZiPhoneGUI is for Windows users while Mac users have a better application in the form of iJailbreak. Talk about hackers/developers but yeah – they are the best! iPhone Devs have been keeping mum so far but hey, this method works the best!

Unlock option works with only 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OTB iPhones and that makes sense cos’ we already have solutions for 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 iPhones. Activate and Jailbreak option works with any version of iPhones. So no more oktoprep->downgrade->upgrade stuff which saves us lot of time and better yet : a much more efficient solution!

Download this application from a fast download mirror. Happy unlocking!! Do comment if you have any issues with bootloader or baseband and use this application at your own risk!!

  2. @ MAX : The very intention of ZiPhoneGUI is to minimize all the steps. It is pretty straightforward – Connect your iPhone and check the options you want and hit the Free Me button!! As easy as that! Lemme know if you have any issues with it…

  3. I have ran the ZiPhoneGUI app with just “Jailbreak” selected as i do not need my phone unlockig and it ran with no errors. How do i now get installer.app onto my phone so i can start installing more apps?

  4. Good question! I never thought of this issue but yeah, since it is jailbroken we can go via the iPhone File System browser thingy. Will explore and point you towards the right application.

  5. I have use this particular unlocker yet after following all the steps. it was able to recognized my local sim provider but unfortunately it has a letter E beside the the provider name and can not fully function.
    Maybe somebody could give me some help on this problem.

  6. Used ZiPhone to unlock my 16gb OTB and it worked perfectly. Only issue is when I install 3rd party apps and try to access them it sends me back to the home screen. Any suggestions?

  9. Kiran, you think 1.1.3 is stable, so that I may update? You know if ZiPhone 2.4 will work easily like this as well? How would I update to 1.1.3 and unlock it, considering i am running OTB 1.1.2?

    …….thanks in advance 🙂

  10. Hey Amart, good to see you again! I jus saw the updated version of ZiPhone. I am still using 1.1.2 since 1.1.3 is not so stable for all applications. I am not sure if I am going to update to 1.1.3 (I tried it for several days and it screws some installer apps). If you want, you can update to 1.1.3 using iTunes and then run ZiPhoneGUI. It works like a charm!!

  11. Hey, i wanted to ask so then if i buy the iphone 8 gb and it will probably come with the 1.1.3 version.Then i bring it straight oversease without openning it can i still use this program that your suggesting when i open the iphone straight from the box when im overseases and it will still work? because dont i still need to activate it from itunes for anything to work?

  14. Hi Ujwal, was caught up with deadline for my database assignment, will talk to you tomm. ziphone -j supposedly should put installer.app on your iPhone. Did you use the latest GUI tool created by i.unlock.no ?

  15. hi kiran

    I am 1.1.2 OTB. I seem to not able to dial or send sms. The screen disappear. Phone crashed before when i tried installing anysim. I managed to put back I’d. Since then these issues started surfacing. I cannot even use instaler. Message keeps saying download fail. Please help me

  17. @ Jamal : If you use the iPhone oversees, then you have to install iWorld under (installer.app -> Tweaks 1.1.2 ) to make it crash-prone. Use WiFi to do that. I suggest you do a fresh update to 1.1.2 in iTunes and then proceed with unlock.

    @ Faisal : What command did you give while using ZiPhone? Did you use the GUI version or the command prompt version??

  18. I have triedthe cmd prompt version and the GUI version on my 1.1.3 new out of the box unit & the ZiPhone prog freezes on me everytime. On teh CMD prompt method it afte entering the ziphone -a -j -u command it returns this:

    Searching for iPhone….
    USBMuxListenerCreate: No Error

    Then it just hangs there and nothing happens – ever. On the GUI version it just states it’s looking for the iPhone and it never finds it…could this bedue to me using Vista? I’ve hard of people having issues with Vista…any help is appreciated

  20. i have a unlocked iphone just purchased.I HAD CINGULAR service before i purchased the iphone.I put the sim card in the I phone and the I phone works fine .But i was told to not up grade with I TUNES if they ask hit cancle!!Also Will i get charged fromCingular/att for services ?Please add infomation thank you !!!!

  21. Hi George! I am using Cingular service like you without signing a contract. You are not charged for any other services except for your regular bill.

    If you want to upgrade to the latest firmware, you can go ahead and update to 1.1.3 via iTunes, not a problem anymore (atleast till 1.1.4 is released).
    Then you have to use ZiPhone (Windows) / iJailbreak (Mac) as described here 🙂

  22. Hi, I have the iphone with 1.1.3 and i jail broke it with ZiPhone 2.4, it gave me the installer but when i try to install themes to it nothing changes….any help?? All i want to do is change the icons, background etc….thanks

  24. Amanda, webapps have always been there for the iPhone. Are you referring to webclips(webpage icons on homescreen) or something else?

    Native apps can be installed using installer.app icon from the homescreen. Launch it and install!
