Guid to Jailbreak the iPhone for noobs - What did i do wrong?

[iPhoneLover]

Hey you guys out there, i followed the introduction to jailbreak the 1.1.2 iPhone.
But something went wrong.

The Guid tells me at one point to Kick my iPhone out of the Recovery Menu, after i did that i started my iPhone again and wanted to go on. (Next step would be to go to Safari and visit the site where i get the installerapp)

But when i start the iPhone theres a Message for me:
SIM Locked
Insert an unlocked and valid SIM to activate iPhone.

And under it there is the Button - Slide for emergency

[[ i alrdy unlocked my iphone after i bought it. Im from Germany and i bought it from T-Mobile. So there is no way to enter my pin or something i think..?

Than i thought of just following the Guide and try to unlock it again. So i followed the Guide for noobs ^^ and slided the emergeny button then i typed *#307# and called it. but than comes a message: Error perfoming request SIM PIN Required. So what to do now??
When i try to connect to itunes so i could restore it to 1.1.2 iTunes tells to insert a valid simcard. but my simcard is in the iphnoe? could someone help me ?

edit: i know i asked it before and there are some other threads but i never got any answer so plz dont close it and help me

Does iTunes give you any Restore or Update options to your iPhone?

you must remember that it is recomended you use iTunes 7.4.2

Also, was this an OTB 1.1.2 iPhone? What guide did you follow?
I ask you because these questions can help me understand what you did and figure out a way to help.

hey, i used this guide:

THE JAILBREAK PROGRAM FROM CONCEITED SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED

I know that this is repetitive but many posts here are giving the wrong advice.

The jailbreak program has been updated and the guide for both windows and mac users is to follow:

These directions are for the updated Conceited Software Jailbreak Package. (iNdependence is no longer needed)

First, download the Conceited Software Jailbreak program here: http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/site/112jb.html

And finally download the 1.1.1 restore file here: http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/dow...o=file&id=1355
Updates:
- Activation/YouTube for iPhones
- Added an automatic fix for SpringBoard crash problem on touches
- PPC support
- Some improvements to crossplatform compatibility



Step 1: Downgrade to 1.1.1 (if required)
*** NOTE: This guide does not guarantee it will work 100%. Also errors 1015 is expected at
the end of the process. Continue reading to understand. ***

1. Download the 1.1.1 ipsw firmware file from the link above. If the downloaded file has the extension
".zip", please remove it and modify it to end up with a filename ending in _Restore.ipsw

2. Reboot your iPhone holding the top (power) and home buttons BUT release the top button 10
seconds into it (right after the screen goes dark) and continue to hold the home button until
iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode. The iPhone screen will appear to be off, but start
iTunes if not started yet .

3. Restore your iPhone by pressing and holding the ‘Shift’ key on windows or ‘option’ key on Mac,
then click ‘restore’ to select the 1.1.1 firmware file you downloaded earlier. The restore should
go through and errors at the end with error 1015. However you will notice that the iphone is in
DFU mode with the connect to itunes screen from 1.1.1.

4. In order to kick the phone out of that mode, start TouchFree by double-clicking "windows.bat"
on Windows or "jailbreak.jar" in OS X, then click the "Boot from Recovery" button.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2a: Jailbreak 1.1.1 on Unactivated iPhone
*** NOTE: If your phone has been activated through iTunes, you can proceed to step 2b. ***

1. enter *#307# press call, now use the back button on the top of your screen to remove *#307# ,
now enter 0 , press call, press answer, press hold, press decline. And you get to the contact
list. And thereafter every time you push the homebutton you just slide the "emergency call"
slide, then enter 0 , press call, press hold, press decline.

2. Push contacts, end call and you get called again, this time hit decline and you access one of
menus with favorites, you can edit contacts, do a test ride on keyboard, take photos etc.

3. Now edit a new contact and type in "prefs://11" as web-address and "http://jailbreakme.com" as
an additional URL.

4. When you tap "prefs://11" you can now select your favorite WiFi gateway.

5. Now press the home button and move the slider to the dial-pad.

6. Now you can go back to the contact list by Dialing 0, push call, then answer, then contacts,
then hit the "http://jailbreakme.com" web address you typed in.

7. Scroll down to the bottom, click "Install AppSnapp". Safari will exit and you'll return to your
springboard. Wait for the phone to reboot. You are now jailbroken. and are able to use
Installer.app.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2b: Jailbreaking on iPod Touch or iTunes Activated iPhone

1. Launch Safari

2. Visit http://jailbreakme.com, Scroll down to the bottom, click "Install AppSnapp". Safari will
exit and you'll return to your springboard. Slide to unlock, you are now jailbroken. and are
able to use Installer.app.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Prepare your 1.1.1 device for the Update

1. Launch Installer.app

2. Scroll down to Tweaks (1.1.1)

3. Select OktoPrep

4. Click Install

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3b: Prevent SpringBoard crash on previous hacked iPod touches

If you have installed MobileMail on your iPod touch, there is a chance an update to 1.1.2 will
render your device inoperable until a restore. This issue can be prevented by switching Auto-Check
off.

- Go to General->Mail->Auto-Check. Set it to Manual.

If you forget to do this step and update, proceed with the jailbreak in step 5 (even though
SpringBoard is unusable) and we will fix it for you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: Update to 1.1.2

1. Connect your device to your computer

2. Launch iTunes

3. Choose your device

4. Click Update
- If update still shows 1.1.1 as being the newest version, you may download the 1.1.2 from an
Apple download server and shift-click (PC) or option-click (Mac) on "Check for update" and
select the update you downloaded.

- DO NOT CLICK OR SHIFT-CLICK RESTORE: That will wipe the changes OktoPrep made.

5. Wait forever for your device to update

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5: Jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone

WARNING: If your iPhone is unactivated, it will be factory "hactivated" for you and YouTube enabled.
If this is not desired behavior, activate your iPhone with iTunes before proceeding.

1. Close iTunes

2. Connect your device to your computer

3. On Windows, double click on windows.bat, on Mac, double click on jailbreak.jar

4. Follow the on screen instructions.

i downloaded iTunes 7.5 from apple homepage, after i got the iPhone !

After i got it, i also activatet it via iTunes and everything was right.

Than i saw all this jailbreak and summerboard videos on Youtube... so i found this site and followed the guide thought it would be all right.

Mhm but for some reason when i start my phone after kicking it out of recovery mode, i cant use Safari or something cause theres only the screen with the world which tells me to insert a valid or unlocked SIM to activate iPhone.
- But my allready activated SIM is inserted..><

i thought maybe i just follow the guide and try to unlock it again, so i slided the emergency button and typed *#307# but when i try to call it my iPhone doesnt ring or something thtere comes an error :Error performing request SIM PIN Required.

i have a PIN but where can i enter it ?

I hope this helps you, to understand what i did wrong Cause at the moment my iPhone is useless for me..
If you want i could also make a video what it looks at the moment..

if nothing will help i would also like to know how i could restore it back to 1.1.2

Ah and to your last question: When i connect the iPhone to my iTunes, iTunes look for my iPhone but cant find it cause there is no valed SIM inside.

So i cant even restore it to 1.1.2, cause iTunes won't find it..?

edit: i dont even know what OTB is?

Ok to start the help:

1. OTB means Out of the Box State. In other words the firmware version your iPhone had when it was taken out of the box and configured.

2. A SIM pin is not a good idea, since blocks out the *#307# trick, because of the pin to the SIM.

3. I *highly* suggest for further things you follow this guide--> https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/388281/

4. Ok to help you a bit in your iTunes-won't-detect-my-iPhone-because-of-some-message-problem. Follow these-->

a. Connect your iPhone to your computer.
b. Hold down the Sleep/Wake botton plus the Home botton.
c. After 10 secs release the Sleep/Wake botton and keep holding the Home Botton
d. iPhone will go into Restore mode or DFU (another Fancy name for it)
e. iTunes should pick up on the DFU iPhone and prompt you to Restore which you should.

***These steps are found all over the internet if you feel like checking them over. They allow you to return to 1.1.2 without any problems (however, I cannot say successfully because you SIM pinned your SIM card). What you can do is go to an AT&T store and they can remove the pin in the SIM.. Hope this helps***

PS - Search and download iTunes 7.4.2. iTunes 7.5 gives to much problems sometimes.

Hope this all helps, and as always the obligatory warnings...modding iPhones whether software or hardware runs on the risk of the owners.


Edit - I also have with me the manual way method to do things (this means using iPHUC and command lines). Not recommended for new people, but the guide is easy for those who have computer knowledge at a basic level. I used this on mine, and mine workd 100% fine

You can try putting the iPhone back into recovery mode, and connecting it to iTunes.

Another option that may work, is to download iNdependence and see if it can connect to the phone. If so, use it to put the phone in DFU mode, and then restore it with iTunes.
