Before I start any further, I wanted to say that I was already on 1.1.3 upgraded "which took me the harder way and longer way to get there", but when i saw this new method I think to my self cant be true so I wanted to be sure that it worked so I re-stored my iphone by holding the shift button in iTunes and pressed the RESTORE button than i choose the iPhone1,1_1.1.3_4A93_Restore.ipsw file which was already downloaded in my computer and basically I went to 1.1.3 factory mode, and locked my self and than i followed the instructions below which worked in for me in less than 3 minutes.

So Here it goes:

The process of jailbreaking, activating and unlocking a already unlocked or brand new iphone is less than 3 minutes!

Download file, At this stage for Windows (9MB, self-extracting zip)

For those of you who upgraded to 1.1.3 by mistake from itunes this is the solution, just connect your iPhone via USB wire to your computer and follow the instructions from the file you just downloaded, VERY EASY.

First thing first, upgrade, Restore, Update to what ever firmware that you want and than the main thing to remember here is to shut your phone off,then with the phone off press the home and power buttons and when you see the apple logo release the power button but keep the home button pressed until you see the itunes and USB cable then release the home button and let it do its magic...

The iphone recovery mode which is in Black background and the wire and the itune logo, turned into blue background and after 1 or 2 minutes it restarted and few seconds later i am in a unlocked iPhone.

In less than 3 minutes you will have a unlocked iphone.

These are step by step instructions how to jailbreak and unlock almost any iPhone instantly! No downgrading then upgrading! You can do this from any firmware version! It will also automatically install Installer.app for you!

ZiPhone is capable of the following functions:
- Unlock.
- Jailbreak will work on any OS version.
- Activation will work on any OS version.

you dont need to go to jailbreakme.com anymore :p

Please do ask questions because i just followed this file and it worked for me.

A little bit about my iphone:
I bought it 2 months ago. It was already jailbroken when it was handed to me in 1.1.1 and i had no idea that one day i could upgrade my own iphone, so when 1.1.2 was released i upgraded to that version, and recently to 1.1.3 which were in two kinds, Nate Trues way "The unofficial way" and the official 1.1.3 which took me hours to get there, and most of the time i had to redo the whole procedure again "that involved going back to 1.1.1 than 1.1.2 in order to get 1.1.3"

But now very easy just put your phone in itunes and press restore or update to any version that you want 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 and than follow the instructions on the file that you just downloaded "Ziphone" and 3 minutes is all you will spend.

It was so fun for me that after i did 1.1.3 i actually re did it to 1.1.2 to see if that worked, which it did. so when i was satisfied than i restored it to 1.1.3 again. which it worked again.

UPDATE:
MAC VERSION IS NOW ALSO AVAILABLE Just run it and you will see it.
Windows + OSX versions !


The latest version of ZiPhone is always available at:
http://iphone-elite.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ZiPhone.zip


This file is DOS based program which was redone by someone to make it easier for most of us in windows (For Lazy ones).
I have got the link for DOS version if anyone is interested too.
In DOS version you can even change your IMEI number ( Imei changer will work ONLY on 4.6 BL 112 and 113 ootb).

Download DOS Version from here http://files.filefront.com/ZiPhonezip/;9615637;/fileinfo.html

Amazing huh.
 
Hans anyone else tried this?

Before I try it, just wanted to see if anyone else had given it a shot?

Thanks
 
Breakthugh!!!

Oh My God!!

I really didn't believe this, I sat down with my new 16gb 1.1.3 OTB ready to downgrade to 1.1.1 to start the whole pain in the @ss job of jailbreaking...

This did it in 3minutes and was so easy my cat could do it!!!

People this is a freakin breakthrough!!

To clarify, It asks you to go into restore mode, I did, then it starts modifying for 2mins, then iphone comes up just like it was before, all data intact... plus installer!!! which works!!!

Love it!!
 
Hmm... mine did it fine except installer.app wasn't there! so i don't know whats happened there. Going to have another go in a minute so I'll post up my results! :)
 
Apparently there is now a mac version out.


Also, i've tried the jailbreak process again using the program but installer.app jsut isnt showing up!
 
I have a v1.1.2 unlocked\jailbroke phone, by using this would I be able to upgrade to v1.1.3 and stay unlocked and jailbroke?
 
Very Nice

As i said it works, all you you got to do keep this file and the 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 restore files in computer which many of us already have.

With that said you dont even need internet to unlock and jailbreak your iphone anymore, but really with out the internet my whole world will suck. :)

I am happy for those of you who already tried this option beacuse i DID and trust me that it worked, for those of you who didnt yet, well its good time you do.

Here are the other things i noticed:

-my Maps (Locate me mode) which didnt worked before (NOW WORKS) i didnt even had to fix anything
-You Tube works
-iTunes from inside iphone works
-Time in my iphone which i couldnt be adjusted via your region before was fixed by itself.
-and probably many other things that i am not aware yet.

SO REMEMBER: This isnt a upgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 or to 1.1.3 you got to do that in iTUNES and than run this file from your computer and thats it you are upgraded and unlocked and sim free.


It is only a bad news for those who were making money by selling those SIM CARD things that you used to need, because you dont need them anymore either, if you notice most sites have put them on sale, your iphone can run with out that card too.
I am sorry for those who spend money to buy those SIM CARD Unlocker things.

And i like to thnks people who created this file availble today. Use it and save it somewhere while its available :)
 
is this literally for ALL phones?

meaning 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 with 3.9 and 4.6 boot loaders?

i thought this could only unlock 4.6 phones?
 
Moooooooore Good News

By about an hour ago I used to love Nate Trues procedure because it was really faster that others, but this one beats even Nate Trues procedure.

If you beleive in magic, i think this file it really does some Magical thing.

It saved me alot of time.

Funny thing is I told my wife honey i just restored my iphone again, she goes idiot dont tell me you going to be seating there till morning to get it fixed and unlocked again, and when i showed her in less than 3 minutes it was unlocked she even couldnt beleive.

Dont Forget to Refresh your sources when you go there in installer because BSD Subsystem was just updated and you might have the old version in the list which wouldnt work. so Press REFRESH and good news the new one is only 5.1MB and its Vers 2.1 the older one was 6.6MB Ver2.0
That Game Labyrinth is now updated which will work with 1.1.3 firmware too.
 
For Mac Users

There is no Mac version available yet. when there is one i will post it up here.

This file runs off DOS based which was redone by someone to make it easier for most of us in windows. I have got the link for DOS version if anyone is interested too. in there you can even change your IMEI number.

Amazing huh.

on which firmware are you talking about

It is best if you restore the whole phone to 1.1.3 version first
and than use this file, so you get a clean fresh iphone with out previously hacked or modified version.

Because if you update you are only updating your iphone and most of the file will remain in you phone from previous time, and could cause this error problem. i suggest starting fresh.
 
i know this can upgrade and jailbreak a 3.9 bootloader phone

but does the unlock work also? can anyone confirm?
 
Hello,

I have an 8GB iPhone running 1.1.3 (not unlocked or anything) and it syncs with a Mac. Can I use this ZiPhine unlocking tool on Windows (my work laptop :p) and then still sync with my Mac?

Thanks,

VL

I have a 1.1.2 OTB, I upgraded to 1.1.3 no unlocking or jailbraking done. I don't know why I keep getting the error. Should I be running a certain version of iTunes?

i dont get the question,

This software or file from :ziphone: doesnt upgrade anything.
It waill unlock, jailbreak, put installer icon ver 3 latest one and also sim free the phone so you can use it on any network that you wish.

There is no downgrading or upgrading of firmware required after that.
if you want to go from 112 to 113 you still run this file, or vice versa, you can go back to any version that you like
