I received week49 iphone with 1.1.2 firmware OTB.. I downgraded to 1.1.1 and jailbroke it according to the guide here, but on the last step I had problem. After I upgraded to 1.1.2 again and when I started jailbreak.jar..a small window opens and say that "uploading installer..." but there is no progress..I waited for more than 2 hours but no progression. I tried this several times only to fail. Please help me what to do..

Dear Raffi007,

thank you so much for this tutorial! I followed it exactly! (windows version) and it worked perfectly! My Quicksim arrives tomorrow so I am hoping I am good to go!

Michael

i actually have an at&t account...if i jailbreak using this tutorial, will my at&t sim work?

doghous - cheers mate, managed to get the wifi sorted (changing dns settings), I'll sort out a sim to pop in the phone and re-try this evening.

Hopefulyl I can be using it as an expensive itouch shortly

thanks, great tutorial! cant stop fiddling with it now
cant access youtube tho, any ideas why?

First off, I want to say that I really appreciate the instructions here. They helped me. Thank you to everyone who put in work and time to make this easy.

Second, I have a suggestion for this turtorial. I didn't see anyone mention it here, but I have seen similar points. It was a bit confusing for me.

When you download a compressed file or archive in Safari, it automounts or unzips the file and gets rid of it (or sticks in a place that I couldn't find). Leaving you with a directory (folder) called 1,1.1 or something like that. That folder is useless. It's not clear in the tutorial that the iPhone is going to take that 1.1.1.ipsw.zip file and do the uncompressing along with everything else. I think it may help to add a note into the tutorial about this... y'know, for the people like me.

thanks

I gather this has to do a bit with the version that of Jailbreak you use in the process of upgrading from 1.1.1 -> 1.1.2, at least it's noted in the JB notes. You might try restoring your phone to 1.1.2, and doing the process again. I found myself going between about 3 different instruction sets. Make sure you're using the most recent JB.

See this other instruction set: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15849

Hi, I´m from Spain and I´m going to buy an Iphone from US next month. Until unlock solution is out for 1.1.2 OTB, I´m going to try to use my other iphones settings. Do I need an AT&T sim card in order to activate and jailbreak my future iphone??
Hope to hear some news soon

Thanks for the great tutorial - I was able to activate and jailbreak my week 50 iphone using it on my Mac.

There's a few bits of information that are missing or unclear - I was able to figure it out using a few other unlocking guides along with this one.

For one, I recieved error code 1602 during the 1.1.2 update. Apple says to simply reinstall itunes, I googled and found that other people said the same thing. I did reinstall itunes and it worked the second time around, other people on the internet said they've had to reinstall several times before it worked. Note that if you get the 1.1.2 error, you have to begin unlocking and activating from the very beginning.

I found iNdependence a little confusing as well as there's no "reboot" option. I started iNdependence and it didn't "find" my iphone, I unplugged the iphone from the computer and replugged it in and it found it. Then I just restarted the iphone manually and it worked.

A few times I'd go to jailbreakme.com and click on AppInstall and the iphone would go back to the lock screen very quickly - I kept trying (dialing through the numbers etc) and after the third time it finally worked. The guide says that after this, slide to go to the dial screen and the phone will reboot automatically, however whenever I did this the phone would not reboot - it would only reboot when I didn't slide.

When the 1.1.2 update finished, my phone did not go back to the "slide to unlock" screen, but rather the "slide of emergency" screen. I ran jailbreak and after several minutes and a few reboots the phone was activated and jailbroken.

Thanks for a great tutorial - I'm turbosimming this bad boy tomorrow and will then have a fully-functional iphone on a different network.

My only existing problems as of now are:
I cannot access youtube
I keep getting an annoying pop-up message saying something to the effect of "Waiting for Activation - This might take a while"
