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

[dkostner]

EDIT :: Try this first!!! http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10124

I think once you brick the base band you may be in for a new iphone I dont think there is a way to flash a new baseband yet, so what you should do is lie!

Get everything back to as close to factory default settings as you can (no jb) and take your phone to the att store and tell them that when you were updating to 1.1.4 from whatever you came from, your computer lost power, when you rebooted the computer and restarted the restore, your phone could no longer make phone calls! Make a big deal out of it, and they will probably fix it for free. My friend did this at the apple store here in Tx, quite a funny sight to see.

Also, demand a refund, a 16gig iPhone, and the att reps first born child. Settle with nothing less.... Good luck friend!

Yep, also tried that one already. I think in the end you are right. My phone has gone to baseband heaven and there is no way to bring it back. RIP. Thanks. Off to the Apple Store.

YouTube 1.1.3/4 activation fix!!
Ok here you go for all of you who still can't get youtube working after using ziphone here's what i did and it worked.

get the lockdownd from http://tinyurl.com/2o6kla and replace the lockdownd in /usr/libexec
get these files http://www.macriot.com/support/thethreefiles.zip place them in /var/root/Library/Lockdown/
delete all files in the the activation records folder.
(grabbed off hackint0sh forums)
After doing this and restarting your phone it may boot up normally but have no bars, this is cause it isnt activated. so just plug that mofo into iTunes and get you some activation! Sorry all you non att folk, I have no idea how hacktivation works or if this will work with it, I assume you may need to use ziphone, or iPlus to reactivate it after this, but i did this to my iphone 1.0.1 OOB which has had EVERY JB method used on it lol, and my girlfriends 1.1.3 OOB, both were restored to 1.1.4 & jailbroken only with ziphone 2.5c.

Now my question why the hell do i care about my bootloader? Im sure somewhere down the line its going to be upgradeable and reversible both ways

are you sure this work ?
some one try this metod for youtube activator ?

[zoolander369]

This method DOES work for both Ziphone and iplus.

Problem with iPlus, is that google maps still doesn't work...

I'm a little confused about this "fully reversible" thing, isn't everything (including ZiPhone) reversible with a restore?

yes and no.. as i understand it, there are 2 different processors in the phone. one controls the software part of the phone, the other controlls the modem part of the phone, which means the modem needs a firmware (baseband if you will) and the sofware needs a firmware (1.1.4!!)

It seems that the software is able to write to the modem firmware, but either no one can reflash it through software yet, or after it gets flashed one time too many the wrong way (bad data being written into it) it may just malfunction and not even start (saying no base band info, no firmware info no wifi, ect)
I could be completely wrong, but thats what i kinda got from reading around about the problem today, someone please correct me if i am.

Edit : More baseband stuff from the devs - http://iphone-dev.org/sgold_bootrom:brick

Bricking your S-Gold
Unlike the s5l8900 with its DFU restore, it is possible to put the S-Gold radio CPU into a permanent “brick” status. It is (so far as we can tell) impossible to recover from this bricked S-Gold mode. Your cellphone and Edge and WiFi can be lost forever.

The checkblank routine in the S-Gold bootrom checks the locations A0000030,A000A5A0,A0015C58,A0017370 for empty (FFFFFFFF) before it will accept a new bootloader. Geohot's hardware unlock from August 2007 tricks the bootrom into checking alternate locations higher up in baseband space for the empty status. If both the bootloader code is somehow rendered inoperable and the baseband space isn't empty in the A17 alternate locations, your S-Gold bootrom cannot be tricked into accepting a different (working) bootloader, even using geohot's A17 hack. If your bootloader is inoperable, so is your baseband firmware. This is a permanent brick mode that can be caused by bad or malicious software.

So, be careful about what programs you launch on your iPhone.

okay so from reading ALL the posts can i conclude that ZiPhone is more stable than iPlus?
Feel free to prove me wrong because I really don't care, I just want whats safe for my precious iPhone.

the fully reversible comment is directed towards bootloaders.

ZiPhone: when unlocking a 4.6BL, it downgrades it to 3.9BL permanently and currently there are no ways of upgrading that

iPlus: when unlocking a 4.6BL, it downgrades it to a FAKE 3.9BL, which is fully reversible, back up to 4.6BL, if the iPhone user wishes to do so

i think that is for you to decide. everyone will have their own opinion

[ih8mispace850]

again noone answered my question.if i did a restore back to 1.1.4 and used iplus to jailbreak activate unlock and dowgrade bootloader to 3.9 fake blank. will i be able to restore back to 1.1.2 and the bootloader stays the same as 3.9 fake blank? also if i do downgrade back to 1.1.2 the baseband will still be the same and still has the unlock patch to it? thxxxxxx

[mjs0162]

Ok so I did this, and i did the terminal process correctly and it says enjoy your jailbroken iPhone and everything, but when the phone tries to restart it gets stuck and wont restart, what should I do?

[dp23]

I still have a 1.0.2 iphone that i used the old iUnlock method(the long, and painful method that screws up the baseband)
Will I be able to upgrade to 1.1.4 with out doing any major modding to get iPlus to work for my phone?

I had 1.0.2 as well. I ran the virginize app from unlock.no (got it threw installer) After that I just restored straight to 1.1.4 then ran iPlus, everything worked perfectly.

[ianzerotwo]

thanx man, I just did it, and it worked. So thanx a lot

[meichow]

Thanks so much guys!

I followed the guide exactly and went from anySim unlocked 1.1.1 straight to 1.1.4 effortlessly

(Well i did encounter the 1603/1604 error in iTunes but fixed that by updating from 7.4.2 to 7.5 and it worked =D)

Am wriggling now thx - and yes, it's a far easier process than the baseland 1.0.3 days! that was scary

i dont see whats the big deal about boot loader 3.9 . i mean most people who own older iphones have it and no matter if u do a 1.1.4 upgrade it still wont change it unless u do it thru hacks. so knowing this , how is this better ? big deal ziphone down grades the 4.6 bl to 3.9 many people who got a iphone when it first came out have it as well.

after using iplus2.0b is it completley safe to do a restore? do i need to relock before a restore?

[GutZ31]

More information please, you make it seem like its just an app that i need to install, then run it, then upgrade to 1.1.4 and use iplus, and im done?

Please tell me the repo if its how I just said it, if not please explain a little better, thanks.

Digg

[eyeandi]

I used iPlus to upgrade to 1.1.4 after a previous upgrade to 1.1.3 with Ziphone. No problems, smooooth, even saw the '...oops I've detected 4.6BL..." Everything works the same as with 1.1.3. No better reception, no better battery life, no better anything. It didn't even arrange for a high priced call girl. And, SMS notify still doesn't work!

[Magnum]

so if my iphone came with 3.9BL, then i restored to 1.1.4...then i used ziphone 2.5....that means i still have 3.9BL right? Someone please answer me!

[Magnum]

[nirav464]

Thnks
