Hey guys

I've been a member here since Sep 07, so I apologise in advance for this simple question.

The background:

- Bought iPhone in Sep 07, 1.0.2 out of the box
- Unlocked it using AnySIM
- In December 07, upgraded to 1.1.1

Even though I've tried to really carefully search the how-tos, there are a lot of them, and I can't figure out the answer to the following:

- Would I be best off waiting until 2.0 to upgrade my firmware?
- If not, and even if yes, what stable firmware version can I upgrade to now? Could you please link me to the right tutorial? (Mac if possible, but not necessary)
- Some tutorials talk about my bootloader version. Should I know what this is? Is there an easy way to find out?

I know you guys get run down by the same questions a lot. Sorry again if these represent a failing in research on my part.

Hi, start reading this: New to the Forums?/ FAQ for 1.0.2 and beyond. Updated
Regarding to your questions:
1.- I think so
2.- You can try 1.1.4 if you want. Just search for a tutorial here or go to iClarified
3.- You should be on 3.9. If you want to be sure, there is an app to find it out. Is listed on the link I gave you.
Good luck

OK Duck, thanks for that.

I already read the FAQ for new users, the other FAQ for new users, the tutorials sub-forum FAQ and the FAQ on iClarified. I've spent the last two hours browsing here before I posted.

I have found guides there for many different situations, like upgrading to xxx from xxx OTB and xx BL where x = any number of different versions

But mate, maybe I'm blind, but I just haven't found the right set of instructions for my situation, which is:

1.0.2 OTB. Unlocked. (then months later) Virginised. Upgraded to 1.1.1. Unlocked. Now wants to be at 1.1.4.

So I ask again with respect, if someone could please point me in the right direction for my specific situation.

By the way, the first guy who helps me out here, if you come to Australia, let me know and I'll shout you a real Aussie beer in Sydney

Hey, you're welcome!.

In order to make it simple:
1.- DFU your iPhone
2.- Restore to 1.1.4
3.- Use Pwnage, iPlus, or iLiberty to jailbreake, activate & unlock the phone.

As simple as that

Restore to 1.1.4 in iTunes
use iPlus 2.0B for the rest... you'll be all set

Just those 2 easy steps... and I will take you up on that Aussie beer (if/when I come there...) Happy Hacking :hack:

*EDIT: BAHHH! duck beat me! I guess he gets the beer hehe... GL

Duck, iHack, you BOTH get the beer

Upgrading to 1.1.4 won't brick it? And I don't have to do anything to my bootloader or baseband first?

I'm just asking this to clarify, because back in my day, if you had an unlocked 1.0.2 iPhone and upgraded to 1.1.1, it would brick it. I even remember the (brief) days when no solution existed for those bricked iPhones! That was back in the days when petrol cost $1 per litre..................

I put it into DFU, which is the special 10 second update mode, then use iTunes (even the latest version) to upgrade to Apple's official 1.1.4, then use any of those three apps to jailbreak>unlock?

Yes... that simple

(I was shocked too, now I too am 1.1.4 )

PS - I strongly suggest this tutorial from iClarified... It is what I used to do what you are doing...

and I really recommend that iClarified tutorial in my post above, iPlus has been great, but any of the things duck named are too.

Go ahead, you will be safe. You stated in an earlier post that you virginized you iPhone at 1.0.2 before upgrading to 1.1.1. Thats the only thing you really had to do.
