[Release] iPlus 2.0b for iPhone Jailbreaking | Activation | Unlocking

[exNavy]

Is there a guide to use this to jailbreak?

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.

i didn't see any way to upgrade it back to 4.6

anyway why youjut want to do something like that?

How I Am Supposed To Use This, why they dont did a GUI interface for it?

So, what happened to "ZiPhone" lol. doesnt dat do pretty much the same thing?

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/

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?

my iphone is currently on craigslist, hopefully it will sell!!

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

what is the best way to do that...

just simply update the phones with itunes then use this program to go from there?

[jtesnani]

I haven't used this yet but I'm gathering from the readme file that it's used just like the early versions of ziphone but the only command you have to type is "iplus [-u]" and it will then run the program and give you the option to unlock/downgrade BL if this is necessary. Yes no maybe?

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.

How I Am Supposed To Use This, why they dont did a GUI interface for it?

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?

I have BL 4.6. So if I jailbreak it won't change it correct. Also you only need to use the "activate" feature is when you have a new phone out of the box correct?

Last question i'm running 1.1.2 right now so i can use iPlus to go to 1.1.4 jailbroken and will i have to reinstall all my apps again. Is there a way to back up my iphone so i don't have to go in install everything over agin?

Sorry about the noobish questions.

By the way i am running a Prepaid AT&T SIM NOT the regular AT&T SIM that was pre-installed in the iphone

How I Am Supposed To Use This, why they dont did a GUI interface for it?

As it explains you are supposed to use the command line. There are just 2 options: iplus -u (for non AT&T) and iplus -j (for AT&T jailbreak only). Why do you need a GUI? Just follow the guide at the top of the thread. If you still don't feel comfortable then back away. Also, if your bootloader was on 4.6 and it's been downgraded to 3.9 with zphone then you are stuck on 3.9...

No!

iPlus jailbreak,activate and unlock 1.1.4 only

Yes, restore both phones to 1.1.4 and use iPlus to do dirty work.

The 3.9 BL phone will remain with the same 3.9 BL.
The 4.6 BL phone will end up with a 3.9 FakeBlank bootloader.

I followed this guide, but my iPhone's stuck on the ipipe console screen, just looping and looping, even thought the terminal was finished 5 minutes ago.

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance!

edit: it says 'iplus 2.0b - pass 2 starting'

should I just unplug my phone and reboot?

Anyone?

[jtesnani]

I Know how to use it, actually i did but really, i was waiting for some buttons to let me chosse some options or something like that

jailbreak/activate/unlock = iplus -u
jailbreak/activate = iplus
jailbreak = delete payload.zip in the iplus folder then iplus

[zoolander369]

Ok, I unplugged my phone and restarted...

Everything works, but no installer!!

Help!!

sounds like pass 2 didn't finish. redo it. you don't have to restore. just put the phone in dfu and iplus again. no -u necessary this time

if you only jailbreak your bootloader won't be touched

you need to activate every time you restore and/or jailbreak. if you have an ATT sim with the legit iphone plan, itunes will activate it for you, otherwise, those who unlock will need to use the activate feature.

you have to restore your phone to 1.1.4 first before you use iPlus and yes you will lose everything and have to reinstall.
