EVERYONE! Stop trying to unlock it the hard way and use the GUI app now. No offense, but many of the posts here are newbie questions. I haven't done the GUI app so I can't really help but it shouldn't be that difficult. Perhaps someone nice enough can post up an official tutorial for unlocking using the GUI app?


can't get the GUI app and the .de one doesn't work with MAC. There's a circle with a line through it.

Is this a windows file?

i wonder if this is something we can do with fugu? anyone? geez, there's got to be instructions for this thing since the master site is getting smashed.
 
I'm trying to find out what firmware I'm using on my iPhone. I do know how to find the firmware on the phone AFTER I activate the phone. Right now, I'm at the Activation screen on my iphone. I want to find out if my firmware is at 1.0.2 so I can use independence. Thanks

download all three firmwares. Try each one- if its not a match, it gives you an error. Worked out fine for me.

I think you suppose to upload the unlock.app to iphone. At least that's what the instructions said. I'm going to try that as soon as I find way to find what firmware I'm at because I just bought a new iphone and I'm at the activation screen and have no idea what firmware I have
 
Youtube Activation After Unlock

A lot of ppl are having troubles with the youtube activation after the unlock.

It has happened to me 2 out of 2 times. And each time i simply but the phone back in jail and restarted the phone. Afterward Youtube worked for me.

Just wanted to give you guys that tip. If a you are having problems. Put the phone back in jail and see what happens.

Good Luck
 
No! It won't work on your mac. It needs to be loaded on your iPhone using fugu.

ok, that i can do...

but, tell me this...

the download is a .zip.

i click on it and it creates a file named, "unlock" with a line through it.

where do i put it on the phone? i need instructions and there apparently are none.
 
Download what all three firmware?

Yup. Search the iPhone hacking sites for the download links, but basically you need to have a copy of the firmware on your mac for INdependance to use. If you attempt to use the wrong firmware, it'll return an error. If not, it'll go right through.

First off, is this the GUI iUnlock? If you're not sure, search this thread for it. Then, use fugu to install the app in your aplications folder on your iPhone.

hey did you upload it with fugu or just through it in the applications folder of the iphone
 
I just finished my second unlock, and it went very quickly now that I know my way around it.

I thought I saw some people post saying that if you restore your iphone after the unlock, itll stay unlocked. So I went and restored just cause I wanted to know for sure, and it definetly erases the unlock hack, so now im on number three :p

I was wondering if you help me since your done it so often. I just took my phone out of the box its says it need to be activated how do i get passed that and unlock all the other features first. Im using windows.
 
i used winscp. i drag and drap to the applications. but how i use fugu i dont have mac osx
 
Got it working!



Sorry for the crappy picture, I took it with my iSight.

Used this guide
: Click me. It's not hard, just read carefully thru it people. I had everything done in about 1 hour.

OS: Mac OS X

Carrier: T-mobile

Data Plan: I have the 19.99 blackberry data plan.

Edge Internet: wap.voicestream.com

You Tube: Not working, I'm too hesitant to use the other guide because it might screw-up the unlock, so I'll wait.
 
I've done it here are my impressions

I have successfully unlocked my iphone. EVERYTHING WORKS for me EXCEPT VISUAL VOICMAIL. I have t-mobile. I had to find a work around for you tube and you have to plug in the APN for Edge to work. Make sure that there is no user name or password. I will watch this thread for any questions for the next 20 or so minutes. otherwise you can pm me.

Good luck to you all.
;)
