Yep - I'm in the same boat. Can't click on the pre 1.1.1 upgrade button in INdependence. Anyone?

** FIXED: just re-start OpenSSH on the iPhone. Then re-start INdepenednece, and the button becomes active.

OK. I did the anysim unlock on a windows computer, since them i purchase an Imac. My question is can i do the virginizer on mac. thanks for all the help.

Unlock guide is up! Thats it...

Tomorrow I will work on an unlock guide from a clean 1.1.1 iPhone...

Will this guide work with Windows Based PC? Is the Virginizer for Windows?

[theliksta]

Hi Guys,ignore my last post,i unlocked using the virginizer and anysim.One question though,can i safely delete the anysim icon,or the whole app via independence?

Thanks

Hi, Sorry for my post. Tipical looser
Thanks a lot its working

Poetic - in " Unlocking the 1.1.1 iPhone anySIM" you tell people to ssh into the phone with the pass "dottie"
is this right? I'm sure the 1.1.1 pass is "Alpine"

[chasev2]

SUCCESS!

I am now using an unlocked iPhone with T-Mobile.

My only last question would be... has anyone figured out the "carrier services" setting within the phone settings page? That was the only thing that didn't carry over for me. I used cyberduck to look at the new files that had replaced the previously modified files, to see if i could update them and they are way different from 1.0.2.

Has anyone figured that out?

theliksta,

I deleted the anysim app via Independence. It didn't seem to make any difference, besides making for a cleaner looking springboard.

[catmando]

just so you guys know you could change the password in independence. it's better to anyways.

[christian.symmons]

running the back up part (norz) and its just been sat there saying waiting for data....


any ideas what ive done wrong?

[rfp]

Followed the guide to the letter. Unlocked and all was running well for 2 hours.
Made and received calls intalled apps etc.
Then I received a SMS, I tried a couple of times to open it but kept returning to the home screen.
I attempted to restart the iphone and ended up with a brick??
In the process of restoring to 1.0.2 (hopefully) not sure if I'll attempt to upgrade again.
Anyone experience something similar?

[christian.symmons]

ok solved my issue.

reloaded the .plist (launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist)

rebooted the phone got my operator logo back.

ran through the process again with this time doing

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


everything went smoothly

Thanks for these tutorials!

I have a problem: I can't install BSD Subsystem from the installer.

¿What can I do?

Sorry for my english.

[christian.symmons]

ok doing the update to 1.1.1, itunes says i have a 300mb iphone.... bit worried....... see if it goes ok tho

[pg3bton]

will this guide work if you have used the original guide on here that used erica sadun's unlock.app or must you have unlocked with anysim?

[theliksta]

Please can someone help! I followed the virginizer and anysim etc, and succesfully upgraded my phone to 1.1.1,working fine.Then out of the blue while connected to itunes,a message telling me the phone needed to be restored.i did this and now i have the itunes screen with the at&t logo saying the sim card in this iphone doe snot appear to be a supported sim card,and on my iphone screen it says activate iphone.

I only upgraded from 1.0.2 because poetic folly is trustworthy and put up the guides which said worked fine and did for 1 hour,but now when i open independence 1.2.5,and try to activate or jailbreak,the message "error,you need to downgrade to version 1.0.2 the special upgread to 1.1.1" Im really unhappy with this as ive put time and faith into the guides on here and now i have a brick that i have no idea what to do next with.
could someone please help me,and not ignore this?

I am due to go on a business trip in 3 hours and need my phone.

Please help

Very Disillusoned

Hi there,
i started to use this guide...
transfered all the files, set permissions...
ssh'd into phone fine...

try to type
cd /usr/bin

and when i hit the space bar for the space between cd and /usr
it closes my connection...i have tried a few different things...uninstalling and reinstalling ssh...but nothing seems to work...
can anybody lead me in the right direction?
thanks


EdiT: after trying several times the problem is terminal, after connecting, will not let me enter any more than 3 characters before it closes the connection...anyone have any ideas?

I have same problem. Has enyone solved this?

Edit: I think, that it should unistal OpenSSH (or something like that) called file from installer....

@ theliksta

The restore wiped out the jailbreak and fake-activation. As independence says, you need to downgrade, set up the symlink (the pre-upgrade step) and re-up to 1.1.1. Sorry, not pretty, but should work if you still have the time.

The only other way is to follow one of the other jailbreak guides that use the TIFF bug to do it all on 1.1.1. I know there are Intel Mac and Windows apps that will do this for you.

when i tried to activat an 1.1.1 phone followed all of the instruction Independance says "jeilbreak failed" so i had to enter dfu moade and start the update aigain any possibilities
