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

[boomish69]

ok I finally got ast the launctl line, for those stuk the common mistales I made was spelling launchtrl - the r is not needed! also CommCentre - I only put 1 m!

Now currently I have run the bbupdater after 4 mins 6 secs it said
Error :failed to download .FLS:Expected checksum 13FB got F597
Preparign to flas using /dev/tty.baseband at 750000 baud
please reset target
Resetting target...
processoutlineUpdated: Process time was 10.1 sec.
rety attempt 1
resetting target ....

thast as far as it has got, now it's just sittign there for the past 10 mins, I presume I should just wait??? any suggestions I am now crapping myself it's gona brick like bigstylee

thanks again for all this help ReVan and others...I'd be lost (as I am now) without you

UPDATE:
ok it finnlay ended and went back to the home screen, now when I go back to terminal and enter bbupdater -v it says baseband unresponsive to pininging
I presuem that means it's not there, I shall try again from the top of launchctl
crips I hope it works this time

[unixvik]

boomish69 have you managed to unlock it?

[boomish69]

yes mate it's all unlocked first stage went fine, I am just stcuk at this point, I have started again from cd /usr/bin etc
but this time when I ran the bbupdater to flash it just stopped at 100 for like 30 mins before goign back to the home
if I ping the basband with bbupdater I get baseband unresponsive to pinging.

Now I'm not sure what to do, like if I power it off will it start up again if it has no basband!

any help much appreciated..

I can get to home screen and ibrickr runs fine in it, if I look in settings it says version 1.02 (1c28), though there is no wifi or sounds

Phase 1 :: Downgrade iPhone 1.1.1 to firmware 1.0.2

1. Start iTunes and plug in your iPhone which is running the 1.1.1 firmware.
2. 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
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Close iTunes. Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE, find iTunesHelper.exe under processes and terminate it and run AppTapp again and select firmware v1.0.2
6. 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.

Would i be able to restore a OTB 1.1.2 iPhone from iTunes with an unactivated phone, following these same instructions and having downloaded the 1.1.1 firmware to my computer?

[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!)

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??

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

Leave out one of the m in CommCenter

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.

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..
