This guide further emphasis on using only anySIM-1.1.p (which is the best way to unlock your phone without getting it bricked after upgrading to v1.1.1 but nevertheless you can unlock v1.1.1 because your seczone and NVRAM are still corrupt. anySIM1.0.2 messes up the seczone, NVRAM and baseband. This guide helps you not only fix the baseband but also your seczone, so that you can upgrade your phone to v1.1.1 and use it flawlessly.
Members are requested to NOT to follow this guide if you've a virgin OTB v1.1.1 iPhone. Instead use the AppSnapp (jailbreakme.com) method or CARNAVAL method to Jailbreak, Activate & install Installer.
Change Log:
Files needed during the entire process: (You are strongly advised to download and keep these ready)
First you need to do Phase 1 -> Phase 2 -> Phase 3 -> Phase 4
Phase 1 :: Downgrade iPhone 1.1.1 to firmware 1.0.2
- Start iTunes and plug in your iPhone which is running the 1.1.1 firmware.
- Hold down the Sleep and Home button for 10 seconds. Allow the phone to power off, but keep holding down the buttons. After 10 seconds, let go of the Sleep button, but keep the Home button pressed until iTunes sees your iPhone. The screen on your iPhone should be displaying nothing right now. OR Use iBrickr v0.91 to help you get into DFU mode and restore v1.0.2
- iTunes will ask you if you want to restore. Hold down Option or Alt, I forget which (Shift if you are in Windows), and click restore. When iTunes asks you what file you would like to restore from, navigate to your folder where you've downloaded and saved v1.0.2.
- When it completes, you will get an error. The iPhone will display the yellow triangle on the screen. Leave iTunes open, and run AppTappInstaller and select firmware v1.0.2. This may give you an error, but you should see the "Activate iPhone" screen after.
- Close iTunes. Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE, find iTunesHelper.exe under processes and terminate it and run AppTapp again and select firmware v1.0.2
- Go to the folder where you extracted PACAY and start “(CLICK HERE) activate.bat”. Follow the steps on your screen. When it asks to power the iPhone off and on again: Hold the power button on the phone, slide the red slider, wait about 15 seconds and power the phone on again.
Congratulations! You've successfully Downgraded + Activated w/YouTube.
Phase 2 :: Downgrading iPhone BaseBand from v4.xx to v3.14x
I presume your iPhone is still connected to iTunes, if NOT then please do so... and keep it connected at ALL times.
- Extract the folder from the SaviourPack archive onto your drive.
- On the iPhone goto Settings > General > AutoLock > choose 'Never'
- Run iBrickr select Files, then goto /usr/bin/ and upload ALL the files ONE-by-ONE from the Saviour Pack folder.
- Press the Back link and come to the main screen of iBrickr. Now select Applications and follow the instructions to install PXL.
- Once your done, press Browse Applications and install MobileTerminal VT100 vsvn161 and ONLY then BSD Subsystem v1.5
- Run Mobile Terminal from your SpringBoard and type: TIP: Use the TAB key to auto complete commands/file/directory names
- Stop CommCenter by typing:
Code:
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
- Give the bbupdater file read/write permission by typing:
- Now we check the version of the baseband, which should be v4.01 by typing:
- Execute this in the console, to give iEraser executable rights:
- Run iEraser by typing: Wait for a few seconds for the process to complete. This will WIPE your baseband, given a file "secpack" is in the same directory and this is a version 4 secpack.
- Run the bbupdater command again. This time it will not find any baseband firmware: Expect a slight delay in speed while your typing
- Now we flash the 3.14.08 baseband firmware back to the iPhone by typing:
Code:
bbupdater -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls
Press 'Enter' once and wait for 3mins 17 secs for it to complete. This will flash the 3.14.08 baseband firmware back to the iPhone. Please be patient and let the process complete. It's best that you DO NOT tamper with your phone
- Now check to make sure it worked:
- Type
Code:
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
Expect further delay in speed while typing. It should tell you the version is 3.14
Congratulations! You've successfully Downgraded the Baseband/Modem firmware to 3.14
Phase 3 :: Fix your corrupt seczone and reversing anySIM/iUnlock mess-ups!- Download the latest virginizer_pack here:
Code:
http://www.modmyi.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1250
- Unzip it and extract the folder on your C:
- Copy the "verginizer_pack" directory to your iPhone's /usr/bin/.
- Use MobileTerminal or SSH to change to the "virginizer_pack" directory.
Code:
cd /usr/bin/virginizer_pack
- Give "virginator.sh" permission to execute:
Code:
chmod +x virginator.sh
- Execute virginator.sh and follow the prompts:
- Follow the respective instructions.
If errors occur they will be saved in "error.log" in the virginizer_pack directory.
Now you can upgrade to v1.1.1, use iTunes to upgrade and then use CARNAVAL to Jailbreak + Activate + YouTube + Installer and then UNLOCK with anySIM-1.1p.
Phase 4 :: Unlocking your iPhone using anySIM1.1p - Your are required to have a WiFi connection- Run Installer and download BSD Subsystem & OpenSSH
- Download anySIM1.1p
- Extract the anySIM.app folder from anySIM-1.1p.rar onto a folder.
- Download WinSCP
- Check the IP issued by your WiFi for your phone, it should something like 192.167.xx.xx
- Run WinSCP and enter the IP as asked above, and put the username: root & password: alpine
- Wait for 30-35 secs and you will be asked to add a host key (big dialog box) say Yes
- After login into your phone, goto root -> Applications and copy the anySIM.app folder there and chmod all the files inside the anySIM.app folder to 0755 (by selecting all files and click on Properties)
- PowerOff your phone and put the original AT&T SIM
- PowerOn & now you will find the anySIM icon on your SpringBoard. Goto Settings > General > Auto-lock change it to Never.
- Run anySIM
- After it shows the "Successfully unlocked message". PowerOff your iPhone, put your own SIM inside and PoweOn.
Congratulations! You've successfully unlocked your baseband by not corrupting it like anySIM 1.0.2/iUnlock does. Feel free to upgrade to v1.1.1
Cleanup- Remove anySIM.app, as it's strongly advised not to run it twice. Use either iBrickr or iPhoneBrowser and delete the Unlock.app folder from /Applications/
- It's further advised not to leave the Mobile Terminal app on your springboard, lethal things can be done with it. Use iBrickr and goto Applications > on the right Fake iPhone screen, hit the red-minus button to uninstall 'Terminal'. Leave the BSD subsystem.
Troubleshooting- If you are getting this error with ieraser: "Got header: 77 0b cc - Bus error"
It is because you didn't remove the .bin extension of the secpack. You need to make sure it is removed in windows by changing your folder view options to show extensions for known file types, OR in Mac by ctrl + click and going to get info and removing the extension under Name & Extension.
- IERASE stuck on "Waiting for data"
Re-upload ieraser and secpack to /usr/bin/

OK, here is the edited, updated version that worked for me - this may or may not work for everyone, and not all things that I saw happen on my iPhone will happen on yours - but I still think it's absolutely imperative that
all steps are documented
and every little thing that happens, so, here you go.
Above I quoted the original tutorial from this forum that I used that successfully took my phone from 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 and working fine with T-Mobile. There are a few steps/instances that need to be noted which I will do right after this disclaimer:
This worked for my phone which was already at 1.0.2 - I cannot confirm this tutorial for phones already at 1.1.1 but from what I've read, it worked fine for most.
Phase 1:: Downgrade iPhone 1.1.1 to firmware 1.0.2
I was already at 1.0.2
but I still did these steps anyway, you should too to avoid any confusion.
So,
do step 1, even though it says "which is running the 1.1.1 firmware", and your's isn't, it's ok, do it.
Then
do step 2, I didn't have to use iBrickr to get into the DFU mode, if you can't get step 2 to work without using iBrickr, let me know and I'll walk you through getting your phone into "yellow triangle" mode. NOTE: If you are running 1.1.1, you won't see a "yellow triangle" mode, it's a different screen with an iPhone USB cord and a CD with a blue eighth note (music note) on it.
Do step 3 iTunes will as if you want to restore - using windows (which I'm assuming you are) hold down "shift" while clicking on "Restore" - that will bring up a dialog box allowing you to chose the os image that you downloaded
hopefully before even starting this lol. NOTE: If you hold down shift while clicking "Update" you'll get the same dialog box - so if you have the 1.1.1 OS already downloaded, you can install it that way too.
Do step 4 Now, here's the tricky parts. I got an error saying that it couldn't upgrade my phone with error -1304 or something along those lines...
it's ok!! Continue on and leave iTunes open and
wait for iTunes to see your phone again
before moving on to AppTappInstaller. iTunes will say some crap, ignore it, just move on and run AppTappInstaller and select firmware 1.0.2 and click "OK" or "Continue" or "Next" (can't remember what the option was) Now, it
will give you an error -
DO NOT CLICK CANCEL!! While the error is still up saying that "ItunesHelper.exe" or whatever needs to be closed, then take your mouse and "File->Exit" from iTunes. After it's closed, open your Task Manager (ctrl+shift+escape) or (ctrl+alt+delete) or (right-click task bar and click "task manager") and end the process for "ituneshelper.exe"
only! You may or may not see "ipodhelper or ipodservice,
leave them running! You may also see something like "AppleMobileDeviceService",
leave it running as well!
Ok, after you have ended the process for "ituneshelper.exe", close your task manager and then click "Retry" on AppTappInstaller - it will go through without errors.
IF you get an error, don't worry about it, just close AppTappInstaller and run it again and it will go through with no errors. (I did this a few times to confirm the many different options lol) If you still get an error, please let me know and I will try my best to help you.
Do step 6Go to where PCAY is and follow the directions as is. I didn't get any errors here.
Congratulations! You've successfully.... blah blah blah. Moving on.
Phase 2:: Downgrading iPhone BaseBand from v4.xx to v3.14 and reversing anySIM/iUnlock messup's
Ok, now you need to make sure iTunes is open again and your phone is connected and iTunes sees your phone, if not, make it happen then continue.
NOTE: I'm going to assume you already downloaded all the files needed to do this tutorial and extracted them
all to a folder. If not,
stop right now and do it! Because I'm going to skip some steps here because I'm not going to waste time saying "download this, extract that" you should've done it already :-)
Do step 2 of Phase 2 Settings->General->AutoLock->NEVER
Do step 3 of Phase 2 Do this as is.
Do step 4 of Phase 2 You
must follow the instructions precisely as iBrickr gives them.
Do step 5 on Phase 2 Install MobileTerminal vt100 vsvn161 and
after it's installed, wait for your phone to vibrate or go back to the lock screen
before you install the next program After it does, then install BSD Subsystem v1.5. Now, this took a little while for my phone, be patient, please GOD be patient! After you click on BSD, it's going to take about a minute or two before your phone does it's little vibrate thing and take you back to the locked screen.
Please wait for it to do this before moving on!
Do step 6 of Phase 2 Do as is. (Where it says use TAB key to auto complete, I have no clue - I see no TAB key on my iPhone keyboard lol)
Do step 7 of Phase 2 I can not stress this enough, these commands
are cAsE sEnSiTiVe!! Make sure when it says "/System" that you type "/System" and
not "/system" There
is a difference.
Do step 8 of Phase 2 Do as is.
Do step 9 of Phase 2 Do as is. It should say 4.0.1 after pressing enter.
Do step 10 of Phase 2 Do as is.
Do step 11 of Phase 2 Do as is. After you hit enter, it will take a while for it to start...be patient and wait...just sit there and wait. Do you hear me? Sit and wait! lol If you get errors, let me know.
Do step 12 of Phase 2 Do as is.
Do step 13 of Phase 2 Do as is and
watch what you type! After pressing "enter" ONE time, sit and wait...wait, wait, wait, wait! It took my phone a lil over 3 minutes and the tutorial says 3 mins 17 secs, so
wait!! You will know it's over and finished when you see the "#" again and the cursor right next to it.
Do step 14 of Phase 2 Do as is.
Do step 15 of Phase 2 Do as is. Mind your typing :-)
Congratulations! You've successfully blah blah blah. Moving on.
Phase 3:: Fix your corrupt seczone!
Not really sure if my seczone was sick or not but did this step anyway. lol
Do step 3 of Phase 3 Do as is.
Do step 4 of Phase 3 Do as is. (Mobile Terminal)
Do step 5 of Phase 3 Do as is.
Do step 6 of Phase 3 do as is.
Do step 7 of Phase 3 Do as is and here are the options that you are prompted with and what you should select. Press 1 when it asks and enter and then press 2 when it asks and then enter and then after a while you will get yes or no, type yes and again yes or no, type yes and again yes or no, type yes. Anytime it asks for yes or no response, type yes and hit enter.
Now you can upgrade to v1.1.1, use iTunes to upgrade and then use CARNAVAL to jailbreak + activate + youtube + installer and then UNLOCK with anySIM-1.1p
Ok, when Mobile Terminal is finished, type exit and hit enter to close it.
Do not click the home button to close Terminal! Type exit and hit enter and it will close.
Now, upgrade to 1.1.1 via iTunes, being that it goes flawlessly, move on to CARNAVAL - (download it from above if not already) Now, you have to have your AT&T SIM card in it for CARNAVAL to work, no if, and or buts about it. So, after you upgrade to 1.1.1 and you're sitting at the "Activate Screen", power off your iPhone, and put in the AT&T SIM and power it back on. Then proceed with CARNAVAL. Here are my notes from using CARNAVAL:
When donig *#307# and it says "don't answer it just yet" - let it ring/vibrate about 5 times, then hit ignore. It'll say "Please Wait"....and here ya go....you wait....for quite some time....after about 10 minutes and it still says "Please wait", push the top button (power/sleep) button one time like you are putting your phone in the lock screen mode (NOT turn it off, don't press and hold, just press once). Then, press again and it should be at the keypad screen or "Please activate" screen...if a keypad screen, great, if not, then slide bar and there's the key pad screen. Ok, here's the phone part.....lol
Now, erase the *#307# and put a 0 there and press call - it will ring - answer it and put it on HOLD - then it will ring again - decline it and then you will be at the main unlocked phone screen....yay!!! Now, follow the instructions for adding a contact and all that jazz. Now, the link it says to use didn't work for me, there are others you can use, search for them, you will find them - if not, let me know.
IF CARNAVAL runs successfully, it should have you reboot your phone 4 times. After that, yay!!! You got CARNAVAL to work!! Yay!!
Ok, now moving on...
remove the AT&T SIM card!!
Phase 4:: Unlocking your iPhone using anySIM1.1p - You are required to have a WiFi connection
Do step 1 of Phase 4 Do as is. After installing BSD,
wait just like before when we did this, for it to install and "soft boot" your phone, taking you back to the lock screen. Then install OpenSSH, wait for the "soft boot" and yay.
Do step 4 of Phase 4 Do as is.
Do step 5 of Phase 4 Get the IP off your phone and write it down.
Do step 6 of Phase 4 Open WinSCP - enter IP address for Host Name, then
root for user name and
alpine for password and click connect. Now, it will take a while for it to connect - you'll get a small box saying it hasn't connected after 15 seconds....just keep waiting...then a huge *** box will be displayed, click
YES on this box! Then, you'll connect :-)
Do step 8 of Phase 4 Do as is.
Do step 9 of Phase 4 Ok, do as is. Power off iPhone, put in AT&T SIM card and turn on. It will say "hey buddy, no SIM is in me" lol it's ok (it won't say that verbatim but it's still funny)
Do step 10 of Phase 4 Do as is.
Do step 11 of Phase 4 Do as is....and sit tight and pray....lol
Do step 12 of Phase 4 Do as is....and pray again after putting in your SIM card and powering on.....lol
Congratulations! You've successfully blah blah blah...moving on....
Oh wait....it's done!! Yay!!! Ok, if you guys had any troubles, email me or PM me and I will try my best to help you :-)
