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

**J.A.** · 10-26-2007, 09:09 AM

When i write that command: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

Terminal says: "No such process"

And when i write in Terminal: ./norz seczone.backup 0x3FA000 0x2000

After that command Terminal only show till "Waiting for data..." Then the Iphone, after some minutes, disconnects from wi-fi and when i try to connect again to the wi-fi the iPhone says: "Unable to join the network".

Help pls! Thanks

Same problem - after restart all my EDGE data was gone. I also had sync problems.
I decided to do it one more time, downgraded to 1.0.2, and I noticed that my Carrier name was in the top bar!
I stopped there. I had now got 1.0.2 working perfectly, but with the upgraded modem!
Now everything works and I am going to leave it like that. I found 1.1.1 to be unstable on my phone.

**wabibito** · 10-26-2007, 10:24 AM

I found the fix for the APN issue.

Go to:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/UnknownCarrier.plist

You will see

apn
ENTER YOUR APN HERE
....

Afterward, you can restart the phone and go reenter your apn in the settings. It should not wipe out anymore.

As for the sync/upgrade problem. I found that the following way works best for me. It might take a while but it works.
1. Restore the phone to 1.0.2
2. Downgrade the baseband
3. Virginize the baseband
4. Restore the phone again to 1.0.2 (this so it will wipe everything out of any traces)
5. Using independence, just activate, install ssh, and pre 1.1.1
6. Update to 1.1.1
7. Unlock the phone
8. Install installer using independence
9. Install BSD
10. Fix the Edge APN problem.
11. Enjoy!

To PoeticFolly and every one else who's helping us out: I'm in impressed and thankful for all the work you've done for our "free" iPhone community.

After reading ALL posts in the forum here and on other related sites and tried and tried again with several different approaches I still get stuck in the virganizing process. My iPhone was/is a 1.0.2 that has been unlocked and working fine with different SIMs but after trying to upgrade to 1.1.1 (with the steps here) things got messy and it totally bricked which is propebly all my fault. I was devastated but got help restoring it with the Home+Sleep button for 10 sek and then just Home button for another 10 sek so iTunes could restore to Firmware 1.0.2. But I can't downgrade my Baseband back to MODEM 04.01.08_G.
After doing the virginizer process successfully down to
"# ./bbupdater -v" step i always get this message:

Resetting target...
pinging the baseband...
issuing +xgendata...
firmware: DEV_ICE_MODEM_04.01.13_G
eep version: EEP_VERSION:207
eep revision: EEP_REVISION:7
bootloader: BOOTLOADER_VERSION:3.9_M3S2
Done

...and from there on it's no point continuing I guess. Any ideas on where I go wrong? I've downloaded the Virginizer pack several times, used different iIndependence. I also use Cyberduck 2.8 and my MacBook Pro's Terminal. The SSH is Open SSH from Installer. When reseting/restoring (4 times) I've used iTunes 7.4 with iPhone1,1_1.0.2_Restore.ipsw.

Also when downgrading my father-in-law's OOTB 1.1.1 I get stuck at he same step in the Virginaziation process i.e:

# ./bbupdater -v
Resetting target...
pinging the baseband...
issuing +xgendata...
firmware: DEV_ICE_MODEM_04.01.13_G
eep version: EEP_VERSION:207
eep revision: EEP_REVISION:7
bootloader: BOOTLOADER_VERSION:3.9_M3S2
Done

So, PoeticFolly or any other genius and magician out there. How to solve this? It seems like others than me have the same problem but so far I haven't seen any straight forward solution.

Thanks again you all.

Thaison

Excellent, I'll wait patiently!
Hopefully it doesn't require me to downgrade my 1.1.1 and then re-upgrade, as it seems all the guides out there require this, and to me it seems a bit redundant...
Here's hoping for a magic, GUI, one-click solution!

whats the waiting time when this is on screen? before the program keep going!?

It's quite a long file, at least mine is, but here goes ...

Using CyberDuck/Terminal or equivalent, connect to the phone

Navigate to
/var/root/Library/Installer
directory

In the Installer directory, you'll see "LocalPackages.plist"

Terminal Method

If you're comfortable in the terminal, make a backup copy of the LocalPackages.plist (ie: LocalPackages.plist.bak) and then open the original and perform the edit steps in vi or nano. If you don't know how to do this and are not familiar with terminal or terminal based text editors, it's safer to ...

...use CyberDuck to transfer the file to your computer and perform the edits in a text editor or Property List Editor on your computer. You have to keep an eye on line endings and permissions if you go this route, particularly if you don't have a Unix friendly editor.

The file should be set:

Owner: root
Group: wheel
permissions 644

Use "get info" in CyberDuck or whatever prog you used to check it

The actual edits involve deleting a section of the XML that contains a reference to the program you want to delete. XML has opening and closing tags and follows a hierarchy. What you want to do is delete a complete section for an app. These sections begin like the below - note the is the name of the program.

Select everything between the dashes for the app you're trying to remove
-----------

bundleIdentifier
com.apptapp.CommunitySources
category
Sources
contact
[email protected]

this continues on for about a page and ends with the closing tag:

size
165
source
http://repository.apptapp.com/
version
3.0

--------------------------------------
<<-I left this in for reference, it is the beginning of the next item
bundleIdentifier
com.apptapp.Installer
...
a lot more XML

Select everything between the first opening and last closing tags above. Be careful as there will be more and tags within the XML.

You need to choose and delete everything from the opening tag **for the app you're trying to remove**, to the closing tag.

The proper closing tag can be visually ID'd as the last tag before the next application string is listed. It is also the only place where you have the opening and closing tags right on top of each other. ie:

Whole bunch of stuff for one app

Whole bunch of stuff for another app

etc

Do as it instructs. You may have just had a bad go at it the first time. I would use iEraser to clean up the baseband when you get to 1.0.2.

This link should help.

1.1.1 should be fine, just make sure if you are running SummerBoard you keep the dim-wallpaper option turned to OFF.

Hmm, I wonder if you are having an issue with the multiple installations of OpenSSH? Have you tried reinstalling the BSD Subsystem?

Uninstall Mobile Finder or turn off the sync feature, then try again.

**koolcat** · 10-26-2007, 04:38 PM

Hey can anyone help me please. I managed to virginized the phone but when i start up independence and went to firmware to try to "pre 1.1.1 upgrade," the option doesnt show, so i went ahead and put the phone back to jail and try to jailbreak it again but now im stuck i cant do nething so can someone give me some advice? thankz

**Kyle Matthews** · 10-26-2007, 04:38 PM

Install SSH.

**koolcat** · 10-26-2007, 04:41 PM

what do u mean by install SSH how would that help me pre 1.1.1 upgrade sorry i dun understand???

**Kyle Matthews** · 10-26-2007, 05:13 PM

you can't do the pre 1.1.1 upgrade without OpenSSH installed.

**koolcat** · 10-26-2007, 05:18 PM

yes i know that, but right now the phone is not even activated and jailbroken so how do i install it if it not jailbroken??? I cant jailbreak it again for some reason

**Kyle Matthews** · 10-26-2007, 05:27 PM

You are running 1.0.2 and can't jailbreak? Please post a new thread then in the jailbreaking forum.

**the retard tim** · 10-26-2007, 05:33 PM

I'm having the same problem as Thaison downgrading the baseband... I get up to the following step and then start having problems:

# ./iUnlock ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls ./eliteloader.bin

The output is:
