when you did that, did you lose SMS, photos, contacts, notes, etc.?

Everything except SMS and Notes is Synced in iTunes. Bear in mind you lose the intelligent keyboard that learns the way you spell things. The advantages far outweighed the losses on my end.
 
Right...

Im going to do it, the guide from wired sayig i ignore itunes?
this means iphone that is1.1.2 out of box stays 1.1.2 or upgrades??

just need a bit of advice that covers how u upgrade it to 1.1.3 from 1.1.2 otb

Well...I FINALLY upgraded my PowerBook 1.25Ghz Firewire 800 to Leopard and did the ijailbreak...works great...thanks!
Can't seem to get customize to work or iRadio...the chat programs don't seem to work either nor does my very favorite app SwapTunes but otherwise all Mac apps and several of the 3rd party apps (including Summerboard) are all working well...
 
That's not the case. I have a 1.1.3 OTB which is a week 39 with bootloader 3.9. Bought new in Jan.

uhm, unless they were loading up phones at apple and not shipping i dont see how? Week 50 was still 1.1.2 (minealong wiht a few friends who got them the same time and place) i thought 53 or so was 1.1.3 otb?


if so, weird, that's all :)

Maybe mine got refurbed, reflashed with a newer firmware that left the bootloader intact.

hurm, possible. I wasn't calling shens or anything, just thought it was odd:)


... now im quietly waiting for geo to get bsdiff's out for the bootloader so i can use geomod and no have to worrk about unlocking+ waiting on every update to have an unlock! hehe
 
even though these are not zibri's forums i just wanted to say thank you to zibri and geo and everyone else who has helped give so many of us choice.

i love apple but due to signal just could not justify getting an iphone in the uk, nothing sinister, just the signal was not there for me (and the tariff was no good for texters).

ive been checking forums like these out to see what would be best to do.

for those scared or unsure (like i was before this) this is what i did/used.

i have a mac mini c2d
itunes 7.6
tiger
and a brand spanking new uk iphone (1.1.2 otb).

i downloaded ziphone 2.4 gui and followed the instructions off iclarified.

i am a noob at this.

and it worked perfect. it was the scariest 2.30mins ive ever waited but it worked perfect, completely hassle free.

i even forgot to upgrade to 1.1.3 so had to restore via itunes, upgrade then unlock and it worked perfect.

the phone is amazing and all features work perfect.

and if u want to u can restore it put original sim in and its factory settings again.


so to any one thinking but worried (like i was) i completely recommend ziphone 2.4 gui mac, its amazing.


and i massive super mega big thanks (even tho the guys who made the ziphone prob wont see this) thank you for giving me the choice.
 
So I was running 1.1.2OTB with a TurboSIM...

I decided to restore because I wanted to ensure all the stuff I had done to enable that was removed.

Previously I was running on iTunes 7.5 with updates disabled.

Restore via iTunes 7.6.1 went fine and then I quitted and ran iJailbreak 0.53 and chose 'unlock' - I put the AT&T SIM in just to be sure

Seemed to be going OK but in fact it hung with the "jailbreaking & unlocking" message on the app and the 'connect to iTunes' icon on the iPhone. I gave it 15 minutes, still nothing.

I then force-quitted the app and pressed the power button on the iPhone - it then proceeded on the iPhone screen to run through a load of command-line stuff about deleting, unable to delete, fixing, writing etc.

After that the iPhone rebooted and appears to be unlocked! Not exactly what I expected but seems to be OK :)

Installer app is present

Now I need to add my contacts etc., music and all that, I'll post later on the outcome.

So far so good...
 
All seems to be fine (except the Find Me feature of course)

I didn't have to run any adaptations to make it work here in Belgium (on 1.1.2 I had iWorld installed)

Good job guys - who should get donation for this, split between you and zibree I suppose?
