I've been lurking on here for the last week after buying an otb 1.1.1 and downgrading to 1.0.2 and using ipsf to unlock. Been using the phone for a week fine and was waiting for some more clearer instructions to upgrade back to 1.1.1 under XP. This post is what I've been waiting for so thanks.
I've just tried these steps and now have my phone activated using T-Mobile and it appears to work as expected. Here's some things I ran into and what I did:
- Steps 12 and 13. I had to REBOOT AFTER step 12 before I would see a RW / dir
- Step 15. I had the fileref 0 problem as explained here:
http://modmyiphone.com/wiki/index.ph..._1.1.1_Windows
so did this:
run iphoneinterface.exe and issued commands:
putfile /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.update.plist
exit
- Steps 18-21 never worked for me so I skipped. My screen would go off after a while but I would just click the home button and move the activation slider every 30seconds to keep the screen on for the rest of the steps
- Step 24b. While in WinSCP navigate to /usr/libexec. This is where lockdownd is located
- Step 27. Make sure iTunes is exited and I checked for any other itunes process running in Win Task Manager and ended them (iTunesHelper). If you do not do this the iasign exe will fail to connect
- Step 29b You'll notice here that the rm command will work but the mv will not. This is because the mv command isn't on your phone. I'm guessing here because I never tried it but I think the phase2.script in the jailbreak package should have another line "putfile /bin/mv" added so that the mv command is on your phone. As I was past this point I just installed Community Sources and then BSD subsystem and then you'll have a mv command as well as alot of other commands. In my case after doing all this the Media dir reappears so I had to do:
rm -r /var/root/Media
mv /var/root/Media.old /var/root/Media
to cleanup. Remeber I had removed the Media symlink (rm) and tried the move of the Media.old dir (mv). Once I installed the Community Sources and BSD Subsystem, the Media dir reappeared as a directory this time (not sym link) so "rm -r" will remove the directory. The "mv" command shouuld now work
So that's it. As I said my phone is working under 1.1.1 and activated using T-Mobile using these instructions from an otb 1.1.1 phone and unlocked using ipsf 1.6.
Thanks again for providing these instructions and hopefully my edits will help someone else.
