Hi All

I have always been using PPC, so I am totally newbie to iPhone. The iphone user interface is really amazing. Anyhow; my ex's iPhone got bricked by her cousin. So I decided to take the challenge instead of paying over $150 to unbrick and update. Unfortunately, I stuck at the first step already...to connect the iphone via USB cable (not wifi, since that feature was disable by the bricking) with WinSCP. I could not get the IP address from the iPhone because I can't get it to connected via Wifi. I have tried random IP address online with login: root and password: dottie or alpine but unsucessful. I either got message like connection timed out or host not exist. I hope to get some help from you guys/gals to get me started the unbricking process. greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for help.

I tried iphonebrowser, but it doesn't have the FTP feature for transfering data. Further assistance would be great. Thanks

Pls eleborate on that if you don't mind. If I use iTune to restore, would it also update my phone to version 1.1.4. Would I still able to unbrick it? Since most of the unbricking procedures were based on version 1.1.1. Thanks

Yeah... use ZiPhone 3.0. Or you can downgrade after.

thanks so much for your helps. I am running ZiPhone now, but there are many great features in there that I really don't know where to start. Would you mind give me a few hint to start the unbricking process? thanks in advance.

Should I restore it to the original firmware 1.0.2 or 1.14 then unbricking it?

I don't think it matters which firmware you go with.

[stocis]

follow these steps

1. restore/upgrade to 1.1.4
2. then run ziphone
3. press do it all
4. wait
5. good to go

Then go to Installer and upgrade your baseband. Please do that, or else you'll be screwed if you ever try to go into Apple if something happens to the phone.

Hi guys,

I downgraded it to 1.0.2 with "Do It All" using Ziphone. However when I put my sim card in, I got "no service". iTune displayed my phone #, the phone serial # and the above version. I think I am heading in the right direction right? Do I still need to unbrick or its unbricked but locked? What should I do? I still can't get IP address. Please help. thanks
