It's all one step. Download the file and then open the folder and open the readme file... scroll down to the bottom and it gives you some basic instructions on how to use the program.

Has "anyone" "anywhere" found a way to take a 4.6 BL that was downgared to 3.9 by ziphone, back UP to 4.6 yet? Do you think that is just a pipe dream or will it actually get done someday?

Currently the only way to upgrade from a 3.9 OTB to 4.6 is opening the phone and testpoint it.

There is no software only solution at this time.

In the future, who knows?

I've had guides up for over a week now on how to use this program for both Mac and Win, along with videos showing the whole process.

There are several differences between ZiPhone and iPlus but the most significant ones are:

Key differences regarding bootloader:

The following applies to phones with 4.6 boot loader

Ziphone: downgrades the bootloader to 3.9 OTB (irreversible by sw)
iPlus: downgrades the bootloader to 3.9 FakeBlank (you can go back to 4.6
or something else at any time using software tools)

Ziphone: downgrades the bootloader when its running from the ramDISK.
iPlus: downgrades the bootloader outside the ramDISK.

ramDISK is unstable.

Note that bootloader downgrade is a tricky operation. If anything goes wrong during the process you have a good chance to end up with a bricked phone.


If you want more info about ramdisk and how iPlus works read "Something I Learned During iLiberty Development": http://george.zjlotto.com/

i need to upgrade 2 phones from 1.1.1 to 1.1.4 and have them work with tmobile
one has BL3.9
and the other has BL4.6

Or maybe you can just double click the window batch file and it looks like it starts up the program also... ?



Check your baseband (settings > general > about > modem firmware). If this is not 4.03 or 4.04 then the locate me feature won't work. Older versions of ziphone downgraded the baseband to 4.02 in order to complete the unlocking process.

In the end you'll most likely need to RESTORE to 1.1.4 again and use iPlus, iLiberty, or ziphone 2.5 to jailbreak again.
make sure you type iplus -u. putting in the [] will not work. some people have double clicked on the batch file and it does start to run but i don't believe the process finishes. it has to be done through terminal.

i used an earlier version, iplus 1.2 to jailbreak/activate/unlock myphone and everything worked perfect. no problems and took no more than 3 minutes.

someone mentioned how this is different from ziphone. when unlocking with ziphone it downgrades your BL to 3.9 from 4.6 (if that's where your phone is) PERMANENTLY whereas iPlus downgrades a 4.6BL to a 3.9 fake bootloader so if you want to upgrade it later, you can.

On a MAC:
1 - Open a shell
2 - "cd" to the directory where you've unziped iPlus
3 - ./iplus or ./iplus -u

On Windows:
1 - Open a Command Prompt
2 - "cd" to the directory where you've unziped iPlus
3 - iplus or iplus -u


Is it that difficult?
Why do you need a GUI for something so simple that has only one option to choose?
