[GUIDE] Downgrade v1.1.1 to v1.0.2 + Fix Seczone (Automated) & Upgrade to v1.1.1

[iphonemonster]

My iphone was stuck at the "APPLE LOGO"!!! I followed the directions to the "T" and was able to do it step by step and now have my iphone back WORKING!! I downgraded from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 and now EVERYTHING works and MANY MORE APPS. Edge didnt work on 1.1.1 for me but does on 1.0.2. Just thought id let everybody know THESE INSTRUCTIONS DO WORK!

Thanks for posting them

P.S. (This was my first time restoring. At first when i had the stuck "APPLE" logo I THOUGHT I WAS DOOMED!)

[huckit999]

I run the file launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
I hit enter after i finish typing it and the circle keep spinning it's taking a very long time about 30 minutes now and still going, is this normal; how long should it take. if not what should i do

You're stuck in that step like me... Any help guys? Should I just leave the phone with the circle for all the time it takes until something happens??

[stevenisHAUNTED]

phase 1 step 5 wont work.
apptapp completes step1:1, but hangs on step1:2, the phone just sits in recovery mode.

any suggestions.

i'm in the same boat >:[

[boomish69]

well I can't believe it, I went back to step 1 and it seems to have sorted everything out, I went straight through to step 3 with no problems at all!!
so just last hurdle left..

So good to have the phone back with all the sounds, I wonder if it's better to leave it as version 1.02?

UPDATE
well I made it all the way through sucesfully I now have a fully restored 1.02 phone, from a brand new OTB 1.1.1 version which I accidently buggered by running anysim twice..
The sounds seem to have gone again, so it's not all perfect but everything else is working..now to get it working with my sim!! I think I might try the 1.1. update and try again because it worked perfectly for my freinds iPhone and he's running 1.1.1 fine

The main guide has been added with Phase 2.5 which deals with patching the corrupt IMEI i.e. 00499xxxxxx a.k.a "Invalid SIM Error" received even after a successful anySIM Unlock

[Top-Fuel]

Note: I had 1.0.2 unlocked through iunlock and by accident upgraded to 1.1.1. through itunes (latest version 7.4.3.1)

Exact steps taken:

1. Downgraded FM 1.1.1 to 1.0.2

• Received an error 1013 after downgrade was complete (ignored the error and pressed OK)
• Had iTunes running on the background (minimized)

2. Ran APPTAPPINSTALLER (chose FM 1.0.2)

• Received an error saying (clicked OK to ignore => automatically closed APPTAPP)

3. Closed iTUNES

• Went to processes and closed iTunesHelper.exe (although I saw that AppleMobileDeviceService.exe and iPodService.exe were still running but didn’t end those processes)

4. Opened APPTAPPINSTALLER again

* iPhoneComm v2.0

Using 009-7698-43.dmg as the Ramdisk Image.
Using kernelcache.release.s518900xrb as the Kernel Cache.
Architecture: Win32

Stage 0: 0 Looking for iPhone…
Stage 1: 1 Sending preliminary files…
Stage 1: 2 Entering recovery mode…

Seems it just stays there, left it there for 10 min. and nothing happened so I closed apptapp and reopened it again and all it keeps doing it rebooting my iphone and bringing the yellow triangle “Please Connect to iTunes”, and stays there.

When I reopened APPTAPPINSTALLER for the 3rd time this is what I got:

* iPhoneComm v2.0

Using 009-7698-43.dmg as the Ramdisk Image.
Using kernelcache.release.s518900xrb as the Kernel Cache.
Architecture: Win32

Stage 0: 0 Looking for iPhone…
ConnectRecoveryCallback: Bad Stage: 1
Stage 1: 1 Recovering...
Stage 1: 2 Attemping to boot iPhone in normal mode...
DeviceNotificationCallback: Bad Stage: 0
Stage 0: 3 Sending preliminary files...
Stage 0: 4 Entering recovery mode...

and then it just sits there and the yellow triangle comes back up on my iPhone.

Can someone explain to me what exactly I did wrong? Some reason its not completing successfully.

I run the file launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
I hit enter after i finish typing it and the circle keep spinning it's taking a very long time about 30 minutes now and still going, is this normal; how long should it take. if not what should i do

try installing Ultcl and "unload -w" the CommCenter with that because i had the same problem and this fixed it. This will also tell u if its already unloaded if the ComCenter is in red letters. Hope this helps

[boomish69]

Hoorah!!!!!!!!!!! I made it through all phases and have a fully restored 1.1.1 on my pay as you go Tesco/O2 sim .
I can't tell you the delight I had when Booted it after running anysim and seeing it find the network!

It only took me all weekend!!! lol but at least it's not a brick which I thought it was on Friday eve..
Hats off to ReVan and all the others that have helped along the way. I can't thank you enough..

Did you do Phase 1 & 2 before Phase 2.5? Did you've your original SIM or AT&T sim inside during the 20min. Unlock process?

Note: I had 1.0.2 unlocked through iunlock and by accident upgraded to 1.1.1. through itunes (latest version 7.4.3.1)

Try re-connecting your phone to iTunes and then close itunes via Tas Manager. You need to hear the 'bell' sound from your PC to make sure that it's connected.

Anyone know why it keep saying Couldn't stat(com.apple.CommCenter.plist") No such file or directory; when i run this code
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

Reboot your phone and try again. If it still doesn't work then skip that step and move to the next.

Just leave the installer and rest there and follow the *NEW* Phase 3.5 mentioned/updated in the main guide.
