Hi,

I'm about to start ripping my hair off in frustration. I'm stuck at stage 2 of your tutorial, waiting for the iPhone to stop "recovering" from the 1.1.1 FW file in iTunes. iTunes just say "waiting for iPhone" and the iPhone just displays the apple and a spinning process wheel. It's been over and hour and a half now and nothing happens. Am I just to impatient or is something wrong? Anyone remember how long this process this took you?

Eagerly waiting response! Thank you!

What version of itunes are you using? others seem to be having the same problem if they're running itunes 7.5 however if you try the process using itunes 7.4 it will likely work
 
Sorry i did not know you already had the o2 contract and yes visual voicemail will work on that. And it worked fine for me with the new itunes
 
1.1.2 Iphones AppSnapp Issues -

In regards to 1.1.2 (02) phones some folks seam to be having some trouble get the AppSnapp to work in jailbreak so here is a quick fix.
Excuse me if this has been posted !! But just as so many people seam to be stuck here i will try my best to explain in simple words how to get you over this issue.
It is not related to the web server at jailbreak so put that out of your head for now.....
The problem is with the iphone and itunes 7.5.

After visiting http://jailbreakme.com in the iphone you scroll down and tap on appsnapp. Phone will return to activation screen. The iPhone should automatically restart after almost a minute. When the phone starts again, it should no longer say Slide to emergency, but rather Slide to Unlock. This means it was successful!.....If all is good with the above carry on and do the rest of the jailbreak.

If the above dint happen to your iphone you need to do this. Connect your iphone to P.C with USB cable if not all ready connected. Re boot windows. Open Itunes, Itunes should be showing you a "lets activate now" here is the problem. All you need to do is click cancel. If I recall correctly it will ask you to confirm this just click "yes".

The iPhone should be displaying the activate screen again "Activate iPhone" screen move the slider to the right for emergency calling
Now dial "0" then press the Call button Now you will be able to see the incoming call.
Press the Accept button Now press the Hold button to put the call on hold. The phone will call itself again. This time press the Decline button We now are presented with our contacts menu.
Press to select the contact we added for the jailbreak. Scroll down and do the appsnapp thing on the iphone.
This should sort the problem out.
I have done this on both 1.1.2 (02 UK Phones and ATT Phones) If you need any help please email me on gsskaf@gmail.com I will try to help out the best I can.

Good Luck and stick with it.

When I finally was able to start downloading from jailbreakme the status of the download stopped at 52% so I restarted the phone and then I was able to go to the springboard. But I can't continue with the jailbreak because the installer "button" on the springboard didn't show up.

Do I have to restore the phone and do it all over again or what?


Any help on this issue would be awesome.


p.s. I've got iTunes 7.4.2 and the phone was not connected to the computer while I was trying to download from jailbreakme.com
 
Christmas is Saved

I recommend that you just install the jailbreak again as it froze half way through. I do not think a whole restore is needed in this case.

Hi.. Greeting from Malaysia

Hi Sam, it was really nice of you to show everyone how to do it, so can I get a few facts correct again?

1. With OTB 1.1.2, it can only be jailbreak to use all features EXCEPT phone?
2. Is there any way to UNLOCK OTB 1.1.2 Iphone?
3. Since restore 1.1.1 thru Itune will ended stuck with 1015 error, and we need to launch the Apptappinstaller to redo the downgrade, can we skip the Restore thru Itune and go straight to running Apptappinstaller?

Anyway I have managed to jailbreak 1.1.2 OTB and all features work, except Phone, sadly! Your reply is most appreciated.

Rgds, Zinq from Malaysia. Merry Xmas & Happy New Year
 
Hi,
This is my first post ;)

I have a friend who bought an iPhone one month ago. This guide will work with my friend's iPhone ?? :confused:

Thank You !!!
 
Zing.

1. Jailbreaking basically means that you are by-passing the activation part of the phone, so after jailbreaking the phone, you can use the phone with only the network that you bought the phone with eg. UK is O2 and US is AT&T, you just take out the sim that came with the phone (After you have activated it) and put in another O2 or AT&T simcard

2.No way to unlock an OTB 1.1.2

Yep this guide should work with your friends phone
 
Thank you but, this guide will activate the iPod functions and phone functions too ??

Sorry for my ignorance :p
 
worked for me 100% :) thank you for a brilliant guide.

I had my phone in the cradle in the step 12, otherwise it didn't work... otherwise perfect.:)
 
I need help when I click on the windows.bat file it only flashes for a split secnd and I do have Java anybody has an answer:)
 
another question

Hi everyone,

I ran into a bit of a problem with my iphone. Before I woke up today in the morning, life was great, my iphone was nice and unlocked and working with Rogers network in Canada...

I decided to take my 1.1.1 (original version) iPhone and run the upgrade to 1.1.2 following hacktheiphone.com forum (great guide). I screwed up on the last step there...where you're supposed to set the phone to airplane mode i didn't. My phone froze...and my troubles started.

My situation now is:

I was able to restore back to my original version of 1.1.1 following this thread (thank you). However my Modem Firmware version is now 04.02.13_G


Is there anything i can do to unlock the sim part again, since my phone was originally on version 1.1.1?


Thank you.

I guess this is the reason i thought something was wrong getting no service on iphone.

So basically,the sim that came with the iphone will not have signal bars and will display on service.Therfore,to get service on the iphone you have to put an activated pay as you go or contract sim.
 
Last question:

This guide shows how to downgrade iPhone 1.1.2 OOT 4.6. If I only downgrade the iPhone to 1.1.1 and then unlock it like a iPhone 1.1.1, will it work ?

Thank you !
 
I am having some strange problems. When i get to the jailbreak part (the last step basically) It says that my iphone is not connected, but it is. I have tried rebooting both computer and phone, putting phone in different modes, but nothing seems to get the the jailbreak loading. It really blows since it's the last step. Thanks guys.
 
error #6 in step 2 when restoring to 1.1.1 fw

I am stuck at stage 2. Similar to goteman (#46). I get iTunes (v7.5) to download 1.1.1 FW to the phone and it ends with error #6, not 1015 as suggested in this tutorial and others (i.e. http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=461)

When the iPhone reboots it still shows me the 1.1.2 "connect to itunes" screen with the picture of the usb cable and an arrow towards the itunes logo.

I tried so many things I don't know what else to do. I tried downloading the firmware with Firefox. I tried putting the 1.1.1 fw in users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates (like iTunes would do) and also no luck.

Anybody else seen this? Any solutions? It's been two days now of trying different things.
 
THIS GUIDE IS OUTDATED iNdependence is no longer needed etc...

and the link pointing to the 1.1.1 file has rumored to have the TIFF exploit patched.

Here is the updated Guide for both windows and Mac users, taken directly from conceited software.

I still get error #6 after restoring to 1.1.1 fw and my iphone doesn't get out of restore mode. I've been trying to reboot it with jaibreak from conceited and also tried ibrickr.

Nothing... Frustrated... crying...
 
Make sure that you have closed iTunes when you try to boot it from recovery mode.
