[1.1.2 OTB] Downgrade/Activate/Jailbreak MADE EASY (For Newbies)
 

GUYS IF YOU WANT TO ACTIVATE / JAILBREA & UNLOCK YOUR 1.1.2 & 1.1.3 OUT OF THE BOX IPHONE FOLLOW MY NEW TUTORIAL BY PRESSING HERE

This Tutorial is for newbies like me.

when i got my iphone i was lost , i didnt know what to do because there are TONS AND TONS OF INFO out there and various methods.

So i have decided to write this tutorial so that the newcomers follow this step by step.

So let me give you a very clear tutorial.

First Of all you need to check the week of production of your Iphone
you can find this on the back of your iphone in the SERIAL Number
You will have somehting like this : 7V745xxxxxx
the 45 means it was produced on the 45th week
Iphones from week 45 and above have the new Bootloader version 4.6 with the 1.1.2 Firmware which is unlockable without a TurboSim

You can also check the Modem Firmware version of your Iphone by doing the following.

1- Turn on your iphone, you will get "Slide for Emergency Call"
2- Slide and you will get the phone keypad
3- type *3001#12345#* and press CALL
3- Press on VERSIONS

If you have the version 04.02.12_G you are sure to have the bootloader version 4.6 which in unlockable without a TurboSim

What you can do now is downgrade your firmware 1.1.2 to a firmware 1.1.1, by doing that you can use every aspect of your iphone except all the functions that need a SIM card

I will explain to you how to proceed step by step to downgrade, activate and finally jailbreak your iphone

For those who dont know what each work means ...

DOWNGRADE : go from firmware 1.1.2 to firmware 1.1.1
ACTIVATE: Bypass the AT&T activation to have access to all the functions in the iphone
JAILBREAK: gives you the ability to install 3rd party applications on the iphone.




STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD NECESSARY FILES

First Download the apple 1.1.1 firmware file
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite....a_Restore.ipsw

Second Download Ibrickr if you are using Windows or 1.1.2 jailbreak for Mac

Ibrickr : http://ibrickr.com/downloads/ibrickr_v0.91.zip

1.1.2 jailbreak : http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip




STEP 2 - DOWNGRADE FROM 1.1.2 TO 1.1.1

At this step if you dont have Itunes installed on your Computer please visit the apple website and download and install Itunes

- Next Plug your USB in your computer and in your iphone, Itunes will automatically open and give you an ACTIVATION page

-Now press the MENU BUTTON and THE POWER BUTTON at the same time and keep pressing them until Itunes tells you that it has detected that your Iphone is in recovery Mode, this could take something from 10 seconds to 30 seconds, so keep pressing both buttons until you get the message

- Once you get the message dismiss the warning message in Itunes (Itunes has detected .....) by pressing OK and now you have 2 options , the first is Search for Updates and the second, that we will use is RECOVER

BEFORE YOU PRESS ON THE RECOVER BUTTON YOU NEED TO PRESS YOUR SHIFT BUTTON IN WINDOWS (OPTIONS BUTTON IN MAC) AND THEN PRESS RECOVER

Now a "Browse your files" window will open, go and chose the firmware 1.1.1 file you have downloaded in step 1 and press open

now Itunes will start downgrading your iphone (this takes some time) and the downgrade process will end up with an error message 1013 or 1015 THIS IS VERY NORMAL

-Next if you are using Windows Open Ibrickr and chose the Option "Reboot my Iphone" to kick your Iphone out of the Recovery Mode

[(Don't forget to extract the iBrickr.rar files ontop a desktop folder)-edited by Number]

-ON MAC use iNdependence to kick the phone out of recovery mode http://independence.googlecode.com/

Now you iphone will restart and you will have an ACTIVATION PAGE on your iphone with the nice round WOrld image.




STEP3 - ACTIVATE AND JAILBREAK


Before you complete this part MAKE SURE that the AT&T Sim card is in your phone

Now, you are on the activation screen that says slide to make an emergency call, slide to get to the keypad and then do the following:


Dial *#307# and hit call

The iPhone will now start to ring itself, once it start to ring you have to erase *#307# by using the backslash button on your iphone and then type 0 and then CALL, the iphone will ring again and this time hit "Answer" then hit "Hold", the Phone will start to ring itself again, this time click "Decline".

Now on the screen you should be able to get to the contacts menu down the bottom, tap "Contacts" and then add a contact. Use the following instructions:


Add the Name "Testing" and tap save
Tap "Add URL" and type "prefs://1F" then tap save
Tap "Add URL" again and type "jailbreak.unlockthatiphone.com" then tap save

When this is done, tap "Save" again and it will take you to the contact page displaying the name "Test" and the two URLs you just added. Tap the "prefs://1F" URL and it will open the iPhone Settings page.

Tap "General" and Then "Auto-Lock", set it to "Never".

Go back to the settings page

From here, tap WiFi and Add your WiFi network and make sure you are connected to it

Now, hit the Menu button to go back to the Activation Screen, slide and dial the number 0, the iPhone will now ring itself again, tap answer, then hold, then decline just like before.

Now, hit contacts again and then Testing, this time go to the "jailbreak.unlockthatiphone.com" URL
Safari will open and loan the page, PRESS ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN TO GET THE ADDRESS BAR AND CHANGE IT TO "http://jailbreakme.com" and hit GO when the page loads scroll to the bottom and click on "Install AppSnapp".

Safari will now close and your iPhone will now go back to the Activation Screen.

Once you get to the activation screen slide to get to the dial pad again and when you do this iPhone will restart by itself and thats it, your now Activated and JailBroken.



STEP4 - UPGRADE TO FIRMWARE 1.1.2 & ACTIVATE AND JAILBREAK

-Click on INSTALLER on your iphone (Blue Icon usually the last one)
If you are asked to update your Installer please do it (if you updated don't forget after the update installs press the HOME button, it will take you back to the SLIDE TO UNLOCK page )

-Now open your ITUNES on your PC or MAC and press on the name of your IPHONE in the left colum, this will take you to the page with UPDATE or RESTORE buttons

On your IPHONE clikc on INSTALLER and press on TWEAKS 1.1.1 and press and install Oktoprep, once it is installed it will give you a message on your iphone saying "YOUR PHONE IS NOW READY TO BE UPGRADED TO 1.1.2 ........" press OK and then press the HOME button and it will take you back to the SLIDE TO UNLOCK.

-Your ITUNES is still open on your PC or MAC now press UPDATE and ITUNES will update your iphone to FIRMWARE 1.1.2 and this time you will not get an error message like the last time when u downgraded to 1.1.1

If your iTunes has updated to 1.1.3, you need to press SHIFT + CLICK UPDATE (NOT RESTORE) and select the 1.1.2 firmware that you need to download before to your PC

When the Update is finished you will get a picture of a plug that will appear on your iPhone and you will have the page SLIDE TO UNLCOK but written in French

-Close ITUNES on your PC or MAC

-download and unzip 1.1.2 Jailbreak from here http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip

-In the Folder you will find the file jailbreak.jar Open it and press on JAILBREAK!
(IF JAILBREAK.JAR DOESNT OPEN UPDATE YOUR JAVA HERE

This will take some time and at the end you will get a message that says "Your Phone will reboot a couple of times ...... "

Let your phone REBOOT a couple of time... And you will get back to the SLIDE to UNLOCK page

YOU ARE DONE !!!!
YOU HAVE AN ACTIVATED AND JAILBROKEN 1.1.2 IPHONE
NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GET A TURBOSIM AND START USING YOUR PHONE

Thanks for the guide. But didn't you forget about the iNdependance bit for Mac-users in Step 2. I can only see the iBrickr for Windows-users.

jailbreakme.com didn't work for my phone...

maybe apple changed something in the 1.1.1 image? where can i get it except from their site?

that is correct. He forgot that part. Without it your phone will stay in recovery mode after downgrade I think

correct. on WIN you will need iBrickr, on MAC iNdependence to kick the phone out of recovery mode.

find the version you need here:

hi i got a 1.1.2 otb iphone with the new bl 4.6 if i do this guide will ill be one step away from fully unlocking the iphone i mean when the soulotion comes up?

probably , i cant tell you for sure because it depends what the new unlock will be

great guide, very easy to follow...


I got to the end, the phone is activated, everything is working, except I get no singal with my AT&T phone card...

all of the functions work, interenet, youtube... but not the phone :(

thanks

after i follow this step i would end up with fw 1.1.1 right ? can i update it to 1.1.2 through itune after this step?

Hii,

Thanks for the guide ... it was simple & amazing !! it worked well on my iphone with 4th & 5th digit 47 ... hence it had 1.1.2

Now i have 1.1.1 with your tutorial ..... Thanks once again.
I reside in a country where there are other GSM networks & AT&T isnt supported here.
I want your help to know how should I crack the simlock to use any other GSM sim card

Can you pls advice me ....
Thanks in anticipation !!

so apparently, after those steps, my phone wouldn't work, BUT:

installed the patch -> upgrade to 1.1.2 -> jailbreak 1.1.2

now it works.

don't know why, but I'm glad it is working!

I had the same problem as you did two nights ago. I downgraded my 1.1.2 OOB to the 1.1.1 firmware and had no signal. I upgraded back to 1.1.2 and jailbreaked and the signal finally started coming in.

I got it!
My OOTB 1.1.2 - Week 47 is now Activated and Jailbroken!

But I can't upload files to the iPod, what is wrong?
Shouldn't I use iTunes?

This is because your iPhone has a 1.1.2 baseband. If you want to use 1.1.1 you have to use 'BB Downgrader (1.1.2)' in the unlocking tools.

Here is a guide to help you do this:

http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18353

I have a 04.02.13_g too .. Has anyone came up with a solution to unlock this version yet ?

Up to here everything worked fine with me, but when I click on "Install AppSnapp", then the iPhone returns very quickly to the Activation screen, and apparently nothing has been installed, so I can't get rid of the Activation screen. I tried it several times, and, yes, unfortunately I have a 04.02.13_g.

What may be wrong? :confused:

You are wrong. If you were able to downgrade the baseband on a new OTB 1.1.2 iphone you'll be able to unlock it !!!! But the new bootloader won't allow you to downgrade it , this is the reason why OTB 1.1.2 are still unlockable. The method described in the post you mentioned only works with the 3.9 old bootloader.

My 2 cents,

Pakal

my friends FW is also like this, now way for unlocking sim?

Suddenly I got it working (don't know why), so my OTB 1.1.2/4.6 is now down to 1.1.1 and jailbreaken. I can use everything except the phone functions and will have to wait for a unlock software to be developed.

But in the meantime: Is there any way to get local languages (in my case German)? Or do I need for this to work to update to 1.1.2? And if yes, how could I do that without getting back into jail :confused:

Thanks for helping to get a newbie on track ;)

i'm yet to purchase but am thinking of purchasing and using as an ipod/touch until unlock comes so i can use on tmobile: question:

when you buy a new iphone, does it come with the at&t sim card even if you don't purchase an at&t phone plan (i ask b/c at the beginning of the one step it says MAKE SURE to insert att sim now)? pls verify - thx

That appears to be the case. I got mine from the US and executed the procedure given by the Threadstarter, and everything was fine. So obviously an ATT SIM card was included.

Yes all the phones purchased in the USA come with the AT&T sim
for those who want to Unlock their SIM the only solution for now remains TURBOSIM from Bladox.com, the turbosim is a sim card with a little electronic chip on it, you program the chip so that it makes the phone believe that there's a AT&T sim card in it and the phone will let you do phone calls with your own sim

The only thing is that you need to cut a small corner from your sim card so that you insert the Turbosim along with your own SIM card in your iphone

I think BLadox stopped selling TurboSim for now cause theyr received alooooooot of purchases in the past week, i have ordered mine and i will receive it in a couple of days, once i do i will post a detailed video on how to do this for newbies again :D Like me

I have already activated my iphone w/ att. So what do I need to change in the instructions to jailbreak my phone? I have done a search but still cannot get a firm grasp if the directions change for an already activated ATT phone.

Do I just need to download the 1.1.1 onto my macbook and start a restore?
Can I just put the jailbreakme url into my current configuration?
Will a subsequent restore bring it to 1.1.2 current status?

It is my only phone since I am backordered on a tmobile battery for 4 months now and do not want to lose comms.

That was just GREAT !!!

My UK 1.1.2 OTB is now a very expensive ITouch, waiting to be unlocked.

Still didn't go trough all the cool software...

Iphone downside so far: No Outlook data sync with several profiles...

Thanks again !

DirectBrasil.

after doing this , is there a way that we can upgrade it back to 1.1.2 ?

Do I gather that this tutorial is designed only for those who wish to downgrade to 1.1.1, jailbreak, and stick with 1.1.1? What does that actually achieve?

Isn't it a logical progression to then upgrade to 1.1.2 and jailbreak that, as in the following tutorial?

http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15849

:)

has anyone try jailbreaking OOTB 1.1.2 using method from iphone atlas? it seem to be simpler but not sure if anyone can confirm that it work ?

worked for me.
thnx for the simple expl.

hi guys. I have a question... I downgraded my 1.1.2 OOB 4.6BL to 1.1.1 and it seems successful. But when I verified *3001#12345#* , it says 04.02.13_G. I did choose iPhone1,1_1.1.1_3A109a_Restore.ipsw during the downgrade but I don't understand why it wasn't change to 04.01.13_G. Is it safe to proceed with the jailbreak and activation?

And by the way, I already seen the big blue earth at the center. Activate iPhone.... connect to iTunes...


Thanks in advance.

04.02.13_G is the modem firmware so that will never change
proceed with the activattion/jailbreak

You're the man !

Still having problems with Outlook sync Tough...

what's the problem you are having ?

Hi,

I have two OOB 1.1.2. phones and I've managed to jailbreak the first one without any problems. But I'm having problems with the second one...

I've tried to do everything according to guides but when I'm downgrading to the version 1.1.1 I don't get the error message 1015 at all... Instead of that I'm getting message that my restoring process was successful. After that when I check the firmware, phone tells me that I have the 1.1.1 version installed.

Can someone please help with this? Should I try to upgrade the phone back to the 1.1.2 and then downgrade again or what? With the first phone I received the error message normally and was able to jailbreak the phone.

I have tried to downgrade couple of times already but I'm getting the same "successful restore" info all the time.

Thanks in advance!

well if you are getting a successful message why dont you try and continu the process to see if you can activate and jailbreak it

Probably, nothing to do with the Jailbreaking method...

ITunes just doens't recognize that I have two Outlook profiles and "grays" out the "Selected Groups" Option.

It says "all contacts". I don't want to sync everything I have...

I didn't try to sync because I'm afraid I'll have everything from my both profiles...

But thanks on your Jailbreaking instructions... It should be sticky in my opinion.

thanks worked good
