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

[sookysmooth2004]

So i have gotten as far as starting independence and it asking me to open up itunes. It says to make sure that you see the SET UP YOUR IPHONE screen... I am not getting this screen. I am getting the usual screen that I get when I plug into itunes... it asks me if I want to upgrade to 1.1.1. and I always say no...

What do I need to do from here...

Thanks

i got screwed on this process and i had the similar issues with iNdepedence needing me to revert back to 1.0.2 unlocked state. now i installed apptap and i cant downloads BSD Systems so inturn i cant download OpenSSH and so im screwed!! it says the host cant be found and i dont know what to do. i donte even know how i messed up with the installation. i followed everything on the instructions but then after i updated the firmware it wouldnt let me activate.

props to the devteam and pf for the guide. my 1.0.2 is now 1.1.1 unlocked on tmobile w/ the edge hack. my roommate's 1.1.1 was hacked and unlocked to tmobile too.

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

Iman07, I hear you, guess you read my post too. Can't do anything until BSD is back online.

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

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

give this a try
-----------
The latest installer beta has the wrong link in the RemotePackages.plist file for the BSD subsystem.

RemotePackages.plist is in /var/root/library/installer/

You need to change

<string>http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/zips/BSD_Subsystem-1.5.zip</string>

TO

<string>http://iphone.nullriver.com/zips/BSD_Subsystem-1.5.zip</string>

--------

copy the RemotePackages.plist file into your mac, then edit it with TextEdit. Then transfer/copy the edited file back to your iPhone using Cyberduck/Fugu/etc again. simple and very easy.

Croation, yes, that question has been answreed twice in this thread. I just did it today and it wrked just fine.

I would recommend to anyone doing this tha you read this entire post first as there are asnswers to some issues that may come up during the update.

[Iman07]

how could i do that if i dont have OpenSSH? how cant i transfers files back and forth?

[billnjcn]

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

This is the message from the Terminal:

BigMac:~ Han$ ssh -l root 192.168.1.5
[email protected]'s password:
Last login: Wed Oct 24 21:21:46 2007 from 192.168.1.4

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]

Press enter to exit...

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

Can't do that because I do not get a connection with Cyberduck since no SSH installed. SSH has to be installed after BSD and BSD fails for at least the whole day.

A few people have had this same issue. Which method did you use to unlock originally? Mine is fine, I have done a few with this method without issue. I'd like to isolate the problem. Give us a little background on your iPhone's history...

Poetic Folly: I purchased the phone already unlocked 1.0.2 (couldn't wait for my unopened virgin one to arrive from the US).

I'm pretty sure it was unlocked on a windows machine, it was most likely unlocked using 'anysim' as it was still installed on the phone when I received it.

I followed your guide and everything seemed to be working perfectly, bar youtube which I repaired.

I'm back up and running on 1.0.2 now.

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

[a.le]

i did all the steps to virginize the phone and all went well, i have also done everything up to where in independence i am supposed to click firmware then the pre 1.1.1 upgrade when i do that it trys to connect and give me this error
"Couldn't remove entry from /Users/philipcarnevale/.ssh/known_hosts. Please edit that file by hand and remove the line containing your phone's IP address."

does anyone know how to fix this?

alrite pacman took me forever to figure this out, but open up terminal and type in
rm -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts
then press enter, and that should fix the problem
