NEW GUIDE: Virginize, upgrade, and unlock. From 1.0.2 to 1.1.1.

[schwartzki]

So I tried ti update to 1.1.1 i have the typical 1.0.2 unlocked by iunlock and i revirginized fine pre 1.1.1 went fine then update went fine then i ran into a snag i went to jailbreak 1.1.1 and it said sucess but the phone still said activate and then under the jailbreak sucessful there was abox that said jailbreak failed.
After that it said i need to downgrade to jailbreak so i did that, two other times it failed so i gave up and am now back to were i was yesterday. Any sugestions about why it fails jailbreak or other things to do that would work?

I am at the LAST step: installing anysim 1.1. After I click ok to "Host verification failed" I get another error:

"Couldn't remove entry from /Users/***/.ssh/known_hosts. Please edit that file by hand and remove the line containing your phone's IP address."

What is this? Is there another way to put anysim on the iPhone?

Thanks.

EDIT: I managed to install anysim and apptapp by setting a new pass for ssh access.

Sorry cant tell you but I know its been answered in the thread already at least twice, search back it will be quicker

Probably need to go back to the SSH tab in independence and install SSH.



I think my issue was a permissions problem (perhaps due to changing the password in independence). If anyone encounters this issue, I got around it by opening cyberduck, select the "always" option when it asked about adding to keychain (forget the exact wording).

Try this solution

please help

You need to reinstall the BSD Subsystem, you most likely tried to install OpenSSH from 2 separate places.

thanks. i don't have a MAC/OSX but i appreciate the effort putted into making such a detailed guide.

thanks in advance for the Windows guide.

thanks a lot wonderfull guide apperciated your efforts but i am wnidows user

can someone pls make for windows in the same way

thanks and wating for windows guide

There is a simple guide up on I believe page 8 of this thread, possibly page 7. The Windows guide will be a few days unless someone wants to toss one up...

i'm at 1.1.1 and i still get the ip error when trying to put anySIM on my phone
Couldn't remove entry from /Users/quangle/.ssh/known_hosts. Please edit that file by hand and remove the line containing your phone's IP address.
thanks in advance for the help

Do what it asks.

Can you uninstall anySIM once the process is done or does it need to installed? Thanks again.

Sure, you can uninstall anySIM. Its only purpose there is to do the actual unlock.

After virginized my (1.0.2) iPhone, can I do a factory restore first with the 1.0.2 firmware then follow the guide to go about jailbreaking and unlocking my iPhone to 1.1.1? I wish to have a very clean transition from 1.0.2 to 1.1.1.

Or would following the steps and reaching the UPDATE the firmware to 1.1.1 stage wipe out my iPhone clean, just like a OTB iPhone? I have eperimented and installed too many rubbishes on my iPhone, and I wish to have a new and clean one.

Thanks

This will give you a fresh "virgin" 1.1.1 version, yes.

I'm having problems Activating the phone. Everytime i clicked the button "Activate Phone", it gives me a window that says:

Failure
Error. couldn't read from /dev/rdisk0s1

Please Help

A little more info, please. Which firmware are you on?

I used http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/IPh...ck_OS_X_Part_1 method, to unlock my iPhone
would i be able to revirginize my iphone using this method posted, then upgrade to 1.1.1 then ulock it and use it with non AT&T sim

Yes.

Thanks a lot for the instruction first, though it doesnot work for me in the first part.

This is the message from the Terminal:

Could anyone give me some idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Did you type anything or did it just start doing that? You shouldn't be syncing anything at all through Terminal.

Okay... so I got through the whole process. I have it unlocked to T mobile and everything... but now I CANT MAKE CALLS. What do I do to fix this?

Thanks

More info please. Are you showing service, but it just won't call? Are you not showing any bars? Is it recognizing your SIM?

Anyone here ever upgraded their 1.0.2 iPhone unlocked with anysim 1.1 to fw1.1.1?

Cos this is my setup and would like to upgrade.

I know I don't have to virginize my phone coz anysim.1.1doesnt corrupt the nvram. Please let me know and thanks

You can just skip the virginizing part.

Hey guys,
can anyone help me! I am not the best in terminal so I got this problem:

This is the message from the Terminal:

I just want to ssh to my iPhone to re-virginize it, but I can't because the rsync tries to sync files. I already estalished a connection with a successful file transfer, but the terminal still sais "Press enter to exit..."

How can I get rid of this rsync-process?

Please help me, otherwise I'm not able to type the terminal commands to re-virginzie my iPhone (is on 1.0.2 and have installed MobileFinder and Terminal).

Greetings!

It shouldn't be trying to sync via Terminal at all. Did you previously set it up to do that?

I used this guide to unlock mine. It was a complete success! I had my other (none AT&T) SIM inside the iPhone when started anySIM. Do I have to do this? Or I can unlock without having sim cards inserted...? Because now it only works with the sim that was in it during the anySIM unlocking process.

Can I run anySIM if there is no sim card inserted?
Thanx!

A SIM should be inserted, although it really doesn't matter which one. I used my new SIM (T-Mobile one) the whole time.

Hi- Great site- many thanks for all of the work!

I seem to fail at the first hurdle- I have downloaded the Virginize pack, but when I try and open it I get a message that an error occurred attempting to expand and that the archice may be damaged..is anyone else having this problem???

Try downloading it again, also try a different uncompression program. I like ALZIP.

I tried this, but ran into the following problem

After connecting to my iphone (192.168.0.3) through OSX terminal, it should read:



However, I get:



I don't have a clue what the -sh-3.2# means. And more importantly: if I want to enter the command 'cd /usr/bin', it disconnects from my iPhone after typing 'cd '. Copy/Paste doesn't work either; I just cannot change to the bin-directy in terminal. I followed all the earlier steps outlined before the terminal commands and everything is fine until then.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to resintall the BSD Subsystems. You have tried to install OpenSSH from more than one source is the issue.

I am typing in my ip address into terminal and it does not let me move forward. this is what it is saying -

Are you sure thats your iPhone's IP address?

That was the path to your known hosts file. You can simply type rm /Users/your.user/.ssh/known_hosts in Terminal, followed by Return.

I'm happy to say that I've successfully upgraded my unlocked 1.0.2 to 1.1.1

There were just 2 things that happened then expected that I'd like to share here so that peeps are aware of it (perhaps this would be clarified with the official 'guide' soon-to-be released tonight)

1) In the step: 'Upgrading 1.0.2 iPhone to 1.1.1'
when I reach the point where you're instructed to click on 'Firmware'
then 'Pre 1.1.1 Upgrade', the 'Pre 1.1.1 Upgrade' button was greyed
out! You would think that you already have the your phone previously
Jailbreak & SSH install since you're here because u started from an
unlocked 1.0.2 iPhone. Well, to get around the greyed out button, U
simply have to click on the 'SSH' option in iNdependence 1.2.5 and
reinstall SSH! After that the required button will be available

2) In the final step: 'Unlocking the 1.1.1 iPhone anySIM'
After you've done everything and got your 'Success' message, you'd
probably like me start straight away to play around with things to
see if you lost anything or was everything preserved. Eventually you
realize that the sound level seems to be extremely low. You think out
loud, "Now isn't 1.1.1 firmware supposed to improve the sound level?
How's this possible that it sounds worse then before?!"

Don't panic. All you have to do is another 'cold' restart with the Home
+ Sleep buttons combo and presto! New enhanced Loudness


Thank you ** poetic_folly ** for this comprehensive guide! Bravo!

[Kyle Matthews]

To all who have said thanks for the guide: You are welcome.

Are you sure thats your iPhone's IP address?

when I go into wi-fi settings. that is the IP address it gives me. I know it does not seem right. is there another way to find out your iPhones IP address???

[nevrozel]

I admire the way you take your time and answer a lot of questions systematically. You are doing a great job folly!

"Couldn't remove entry from /Users/my name/.ssh/known_hosts. Please edit that file by hand and remove the line containing your phone's IP address.

I understand that I need to remove a line containing my IP aDDress and that the path to the file is /Users/my name/.ssh/known_hosts, but I can't find the file or the directory. Is it on my iphone or on my computer? How do I get to it? if this is done through terminal how do I access/open the file?

PS. I used virginator.sh to auto run all the code...I'm not terminal savvy.

Cheers

UPDATE**

I now know that to get to /Users/my_name/.ssh/known_hosts, you simply have to click Go in the finder menu, select Go to folder, then paste the path in the field.

To resolve the issue I received while running iNdependence, I deleted the file, known_hosts, completely. I then restarted my computer and a new known_host file was generated.

I will test replacing the I.P. Address in the file with my iPhones to see if that works as well.

Cheers

Just finished a successful 1.02/iUnlock to 1.11/anySim revirginization update. Pretty much flawless - thanks PF, for the great instructions!

The only variations I hit were having to manually install SSH from Independence (in the "Upgrading 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 section) and having to delete my SSH known hosts file in /Users/ at the install anySIM step.

This last one may confuse some, as the known hosts file and its folder are invisible, so you'd have to use either the terminal or something like PathFinder that shows invisible files to edit or delete it.

In my case, the iPhone IP was not listed, but Independence/iPhone seemed to think it was, so I just tossed the whole known hosts file. Not the first choice, but easier to rebuild my other SSH connections later than to figure another way around this.

The known hosts file path is:
/Users/yourusername/.ssh/known_hosts

ok, after reading the windows version guide about 5 time i'm a bit confused. Does the windows version guide you through activating/jailbreaking it and or unlocking it? From what I've read, the guide only shows you how to virginize your iphone. Since I'm on windows, I can't use iDependence. What program would I use to install anySim and Installer?

Sorry for sounding noob.

[guyverunit]

how is it when PF writes a guide everything goes right for me. hehe thanks to every one for everything. now if they would just put a stop button on the ipod part i would be happy. again thanks for the guides and everything else.

[tanjasiri]

All right, now that the virginizer is out, I have created a guide which will let you know how to get from an unlocked iPhone running 1.0.2 (NOT unlocked with IPSF) to an unlocked iPhone running 1.1.1.

The first installment of the guide, How to Virginize your 1.0.2 iPhone (which is basically just downloading the baseband is all), is now finished. I have the screenshots done for the next 3 bits as well (upgrading to 1.1.1, preparing the 1.1.1 phone for modding/unlock, and unlocking 1.1.1), and will have the guides up tonight.

Good clean fun.

First time on. Thanks for the post. While Virginizing my unlocked 1.0.2, I am getting a "No such process" message after typing or pasting

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

Could not continue on after that. Any word of wisdom?

Don't forget about us!
P.S. Thanks for all your hard work, PF.
It's really refreshing to see you actually come back and answer people's questions.

It's just for revirginizing. Dunno if poetic and MMi like outside linking(forgive me if you don't!)...but this is the guide I used to jailbreak/activate/unlock 1.1.1.

That was the path to your known hosts file. You can simply type rm /Users/your.user/.ssh/known_hosts in Terminal, followed by Return.

If I got around this by setting permissions through cyberduck (some sort of adding to the keychain thing that another user suggested), would there be any need to go back and retroactively remove the known hosts file? My phone works fine, I was just wondering.

[Sbgi]

Is there a lockdownd file for this process as well that makes switching sims possible, without having to activate each one in independence?

[ThinkandDrive]

I've been following this for a while and decided to try it tonight.

This is being done on an 8gb 1.0.2 iPhone which was unlocked once with the initial iUnlock release.

I am hung up at the "Waiting for data" step. I've seen PF post a suggestion that the launchtcl command wasn't issues correctly, however I'm pretty sure I've gotten that correct. If there any other way to check? When I issue that command again, it saus that there is no such process, which I assume means I successfully unloaded it. Any other suggestions?
