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!!
Well, are you using a GUI version or the Command prompt version? A better bet would be to do a fresh update (1.1.3) in iTunes and then use ZiPhone to activate/unlock 🙂
When I hit the free my iphone button the dos screen pops up says searching for iphone and then it says no error. can someone please help?
not to computer savy. but I believe its the simple prompt one. how do i upgrade to 1.1.3
Download the firmware file from http://ilikemyiphone.com/wordpress/?page_id=162 and hold the shift button on your keyboard and hit the update button on iTunes. You should then browse the downloaded firmware file and hit ok 🙂
Then, try downloading the latest link at the top of the page in this post. You should be good to go!!
Thank you very much I will let you know how it works out in a min or so..
Kiran Thank you so much just finished with your great unlock instructions very easy when I settled down and did everything step by step. I will be using tmobile as my service do you know if I will be able to use the internet function or only the wifi? I also wanted to ask how do I inport my sim contacts or is this a time to clean my phone book and enter them one at a time. Anyways Thanks again for the help..
Glad it worked Tonee!! Follow my guide on SimPort http://ilikemyiphone.com/wordpress/?p=121 to import sim contacts to your iPhone. You can use EDGE connection too, if you subscribed to EDGE from T-Mobile, then go to Settings-> General -> Network -> input the edge settings : APN : internet2.voicestream.com leve the user/pass blank!

Well, if you hit the unlock option (free my iPhone button) and you got the successful message, you might want to go to Settings -> General -> Networks -> Carrier and choos the appropriate carrier.
KIran Bro the messege I am getting is like that: Incorrect SIM This iPhone must be used with an approved SIM” Any idea how to fix this problem?? Will really appreciate it thanks.

I upgraded with Version 1.1.2 I even tried 1.1.3 it’s remaining same.

At this point, all I can recommend is to do a fresh install of 1.1.3 and then do an Unlock using the ZiPhone GUI …
Hoe long does unlock/jailbreak/activating take? Mine has said “entering recovery mode” for about 5-10minutes now. My itunes was open and it said “Iphone recovery mode-must restore” but I just ignored it. Did I do something wrong? I’m afraid to click on the kill ziPhone button since it say it may damage the phone. *This phone is brand new and never activated/registered or at least I think it hasn’t been activated. Please Help? =\
nothing to worry bud, restore it to 1.1.3 and perform a fresh unlock via ziphone GUI. Trust me, it won’t damage your iPhone. 1.1.3 is pretty powerful!!
Thanks Kiran =) , I’ve downloaded the firmware but don’t know which file to select =\. There isn’t an obvious file labeled “restore” in the Iphone 1,1.1 folder. I have no clue what to do??
Thanks Kiran =) , I’ve downloaded the firmware but don’t know which file to select =\. There isn’t an obvious file labeled “restore” in the Iphone 1,1.1 folder. Can you help?
@ Mai : I suggest you download 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 from http://ilikemyiphone.com/wordpress/?page_id=162 since 1.1.1 is too old now. Once, you download the .ipsw file, open iTunes, connect your iPhone and ignore any update messages that pop. Now, hold the ‘Option’ key (Mac) or “Shift’ key (Windows) on your keyboard and hit the restore button in iTunes, now a file dialog opens, choose (browse) the downlaoded file (.ipsw) and hit ok, thats it 🙂
Hello, Sorry me again. It had the restore file and when I clicked it, it said an error has occurred.. what should I do?
does the ipod have to have some version on it before I can do it?
Mai, respond to the personal email I sent you. Will try to guide you towards an efficient solution…
Hi everyone..
Al dis who want 2 upgrade.
I suggest dont update your phone.Use restore function
& then use ziphone..
It wont give any probz
Hey Kiran is iphoneconnect the same as installer and if so which one is a better app carrier?
Hey Kira its Tonee. I want to thank you again for the help with unlocking my new iphone. When I unlocked the phone it was upgraded to 1.1.3. I keep hearing about 1.1.4 is it worth it to upgrade now or should I just continue to use the 1.1.3 firmware? Thanks for all your help again Kiran.
Hi Tonee!! I suggest 1.1.3 for now if youare happy with it cos’ 1.1.4 update is a pretty minor update and I see no reason why we should jump on to it… so 1.1.3 is good 🙂
Thanks Kiran thats what I figured. So can I ask your take on the talk about SDK and the new 2.0 firmware? And whats all the talk about this appstore dose that mean installer will not work after while?
