When I open iTunes and it is asking me to update to 1.1.2, but I want to update to 1.1.1, how do I manually select which update I would like to apply?

I am on a PC. Thanks!

You have to do shift + restore to select the 1.1.1 firmware. Basically same thing as update but you just lose all of your iphone data like contacts, music, photos, etc.

hope this helps!

Hold Shift button on keyboard and press Restore button on iTunes, then choose the firmware file.


BTW, I liked the girl on ur avatar, is that you ?

When I click 'shift + restore' it brings up a box (it wants me to select a file). Do I have to get the 1.1.1 firmware somewhere first?

to upgrade to 1.1.1 from 1.0.2 you DO NOT use the shift+restore

you press shift + update - then find the 1.1.1 file on your PC,


you'll need to download the 1.1.1 firmware, you can easily find it via google or on this site..

then jialbreak/activate and if needed unlock with AnySim 1.1

i always sync the phone in tunes, then restore the phone to 1.0.2, then shift and update to 1.1.1, i have done thsi many times, and you can get back all your contacts/sms/call log etc after to plug it back into the PC and open itunes, it will ask you if you want to restore your information from a previous backup.

Total phones unlocked: 156 and counting...

/\ and you're asking how to update to 1.1.1

Yes, that is me! Anyways, I was so good with the 1.0.2 stuff, but I never had to update selectively before. Thanks for the help!
