Okay, so I bought my 8GB iPhone as a 1.1.2 OTB phone, and gave it the 1.1.3update. Now I want to unlock it and saw the new method discovered yesterday/day before where 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OTB's can finally be jailbroken.
So, I downloaded the 1.0.2, 1.1.2, and 1.1.1 iPhone softwares, iBrickr, iPhuc [which I have no idea how to use], and...well I think that's all. I didn't know I even had the 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 softwares until after I gave up about 20 minutes ago
Here's the story:
So first, I started out trying to get my iPhone to go into recovery mode. It didn't want to. So I plugged it into iTunes, and when the normal status for it showed up, I shift-clicked [yes I'm using a Windows laptop] 'Restore' and tried the 1.0.2 software. It didn't get far at all and it said "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unkown error has occurred. [1]"
After a while, it no longer showed the iTunes logo for the recovery mode, but the yellow triangle. So I thought, okay, maybe it somehow very quickly installed 1.0.2? But, it didn't and I decided to move on.
I opened iBrickr and it found my iPhone in recovery mode. Then, I tried to get it to find the 1.0.2 software, but it couldn't, so it re-downloaded it. Then the screen went white on my phone and then showed the iTunes logo with a red background. I waited for it to boot and iBrickr said it needed to be 'freed' so I clicked the button and it started 'freeing' my iPhone. Well, that's what I thought.
It looked like some form of Terminal running a bunch of commands on my iPhone, really really fast. I let it do that for 20 minutes, then I noticed that iTunes showed I had about 100 iPhones plugged in???? So I unplugged it, and as soon as I plugged it back in, it started the 'Terminal' thing again. I deleted the iBrickr files and after that it no longer acted up. This time I finally got iTunes to restore it, but back to 1.1.3 and I had to re-enter all of my contacts and everything
So basically I gave up on that method and tried the 'no Wifi jailbreak' method. That didn't go so far either. I have downloaded every type of iPhuc file I can find and I don't get how to use it at all. When I click on any of the files, Vista shows a box that asks me what I want to open the files with. In other words I can't use that method either.
What did I do wrong? Should I downgrade firmware-by-firmware? Help is appreciated, and thank you
