hi i m trying to use the guide, can some1 plz tell me in the 1st step, which file within restore.ipsw folder are we supposed to select?
Right, that .ipsw file was extracted. That shouldnt have happened. (Guessing you downloaded this with Safari) I would suggest you re-download this file through Firefox instead. :)Quote:

Hi people!
Thanks to all whom contributed to this great tutorial :)
I still have a question for which I couldn't find any answer yet, probably because it's a bit complicated (and I searched a lot in this forum... ;)).
I will soon receive my US iPhone I ordered last week. Unfortunatly it's been produced in week 45, so it'll surely have the 1.1.2 firmware and the new bootloader.
Ok with this tutorial I'll be able to jailbreak and activate the phone, but the simlock will still remain. Now here's my question: what kind of simlock does the iPhone have (country, network, service provider?) and where does the simlock actually happen (is it in the baseband)?
My point is that I have a german O2 contract. One good thing of it is that I can also use the T-Mobile network for free with my SIM. Now assuming that I would have a DE phone, would I be able to use my SIM, I mean would I get the T-Mobile network? If yes and if the simlock is in the BB, is there a possibility to "change" the BB of my US iPhone to the DE one (doing a restore from the DE 1.1.2)?
Sorry if there are some things I didn't get right, there is so much information in this forum that my head is spinning ;)
Yes, in the baseband.Quote:

In addition. Not being able to rewrite the baseband due to the different bootloader means you cannot rewrite the baseband (sic!) like you suggested.
Hmm, I thought that since iPhones with an older bootloader got their BB updated when they update to 1.1.2, it would then be possible to "update" the BB of an US iPhone to the BB of a DE one using a restore.
I just somehow don't find it logical that one can't rewrite the BB with the new bootloader, that would mean that Apple would neither be able to update the BB on the 1.1.2 OOB iPhones. Maybe I'm just confused... ;)
