I'm clueless and frustrated. Please help me before my brain implodes. I installed ifuntastic 1.0 a while ago. Now I want to upgrade to iphone 1.1.1. Do I have to follow this process? I only used it for ringtones. Never changed my ATT sim card. Will this process work to get ifuntastic off my phone? Someone please answer me. Any help is really appreciated. I'm willing to pay for the help that gets me up and running on 1.1.1.

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.

Til now, it was everything ok. But after digit *#307# my phone freeze and doesnt come back.. i waited a loooong time so.. i turned off, on again and did the same just to make sure.. i cant keep going cause when I call to "0" the phone doesnt ring.. so.. what I can do?

ps: I did exactly like tut says.. about dont turn off but I didnt have choice.

can anybody help me please?

I am stuck at phase 3!!! I have downgraded to 1.0.2 and firmware 3.14 however when i attempt to virginize the phone through the terminal, all it is says is waiting for data. What am I doing wrong???? Please help.

Hello all,
Just thought I'd post the last 24hrs of my sleep depraved, bug-eyed hell in case I can save any of you going through the pain I went through (allthough if you're here, I suspect you've allready been there/going through it)

My story:
- Was running an iPhone 1.0.2 unlocked (think with iUnlock - I bought it unlocked)
- Followed Virginizing guide 1.0.2 unlocked to 1.1.1 upgrade
- Got into 1.1.1 using apptap and iNdependence - but no phone functionality.
- Downgraded to 1.0.2
- Used "Downbase" app to downgrade my phones to firmware: 03.14.08_G
- Ran anysim
- Anysim Said Phone now unlocked
- Phone not unlocked!!

I then tried the old iUnlock method at
http://iphone.unlock.no/iunlock.htm and my phone worked again.

Lessons learned: DON'T bother upgrading to 1.1.1. if you're unlocked 1.0.2. If you do, you'll loose a lot of sleep and gain unwanted knowledge of the Terminal, iPhones file structures and ip addresses!
WAIT until there is a universally tested app that has been proven to work.

The guides on this website were a great help to me. But the sheer amount of differing methods and also, iPhone users with differing setups on their iPhones means that a simple universal guide which applies to everyone is practially impossible to write at this point

Hope this post has been of some help to somebody, good luck if your in locked iPhone hell at the moment - keep at it though, and you'll eventually get there.

Still having problem, I did 4 phone for my friends and the all worked using [GUIDE] Downgrade v1.1.1 to v1.0.2 + Fix Seczone (Automated) & Upgrade to v1.1.1.

So my question is it's there a way i could get this phone back to normal, i try doing VIRGINIZED, ETC, But it's still giving me trouble. I still get Incorrect SIm With a IMEI #00 499901.........
I'll verginized this phone like 15 times already, It can't get any more virgin than this.

Please help me, I need my iPhone back.........

Hi! I'm new here but I've been checking the forums and using the great tutorials for a while now.

Here's my situation and I'll try to detail everything as much as I can, 'cuz maybe someone is in my same situation.

I had my iPhone with 1.0.2 firmware and apptap working flawlessly.

I've never ran anySIm because I have an ATT Sim card.

When I read about the new 1.1.1 easy method I decided to give it a try and followed the tutorial in hacktheiphone.com. It was easy but I think my first mistake was that I did not virginize my phone before doing the upgrade. I'm from Puerto Rico so the only way I can activate my iPhone is by bypassing the activiation and using Jailbreak and Pacay to activate it.

After doing the upgrade and starting the "*#3011#" method when I go to the Settings I find that it says "NO WI-FI" in gray. I just LOST WIFI AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHY!!

So I did my research and then found this thread. So I followed the tutorial exactly but when I upgraded and finished the process even though it said it was on 3.014 modem firmware it still didn't recognize Wi-FI. I then downgraded to 1.0.2 again with ibricker, unlocked with pacay and tried it again.

I followed the tutorial again but the process froze on this screen:

[I]Baseband reset.
Get FlashID Request
Sending:
00000000 | 02 00 01 08 00 00 00 00 01 08 03 00 | ........ ....

iEraser: tool by geohot
thanks to gray and the dev team for the implementation
thanks to nightwatch for the awesome toolchain
and thanks to anonymous, iProof, lazyc0der, and dinopio for the idea for this cool trick
this tool erases your main fw, starting at 0x20000. you need this for the testpoint to work
you need a file called secpack matching your current firmware version in this folder
see http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com for instructions on finding this file
Waiting for data...[/I]

It stayed like that for an hour. I then decided to reset the phone. Uploaded the secpack file again just in case.

But this time when , when I tried the 1st step in terminal to unload CommCenter it just froze and stayed with the "flash loading" cursor...
I;ve tried it 2 times restoring the phone and it does the same thing!

I'm devastated 'cuz I don't know if there's no turning back and I don't have an Apple Store I can go to because there are none in PR... PLease ReVan help me!!


THanks in advance!

[unixvik]

huckit999, be sure you have the secpack file in the bbupdater directory....
and the file's name is secpack .. no extensions

[huckit999]

I tried it again, but when I do the first command: launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.apple.CommCenter.plist ,
it gives me the following error:
launchctl: Couldn't stat("com.apple.CommCenter.plist"); No such file or directory

Then it shows the "flash loading" like if its working on something but the phone just stops working. Left it for almost an hour and nothing happened..

What should I do???

Please help I am stuck at the install apps from ibrikr, when I click Browse applications it goes toa page that says navigation to the web page was canceled.
The error report says e_/var/root/media/pxl/DB: No such file or directory

I have read every thread and saw someone with the same problem but he seem to say it was because the web page was down, so I left it all evening now but still the same problem

I can't thank you enough for the guide my phone was completly stuck in 1.1.1 (the latest hole fixed update) and nothing would restore it. Thanks goodness for ibrickr

Doh I just realised I had disabled the internet because of iTunes updating etc... I can see apps now
