can some please go into detail on how to execute the symlink. its this part in the read me:

mv /var/root/Media /var/root/Media.old
ln -s / /var/root/Media

How do i "execute" this. This is the part that is most confusing, the rest of the process seems fairly simple....

Q & A For iPhoneSimFree Users and 1.1.1 iPhone Update

Seems there is a bit of confusion about our last post. Here are some of the most common questions, with some corresponding answers.

Q. Why do you say it is unlocked if you can't activate a non AT&T sim?
A. There is a difference between unlocking and activation. Unlocking is related to GSM standards and allowing a sim to be used on different carriers, and activation is something made up by apple to further restrict their users. After upgrading to 1.1.1 the radio of the phone is still unlocked, meaning it can still connect to other carriers, but apple requires the phone be activated to do so.

Q. How do you know it is unlocked if you can't activate?
A. There are several ways to know this. Firstly, the phone does not report "Incorrect SIM". Secondly the IMEI is correct. Thirdly if you bring up the field test, you can see the provider is not AT&T. And finally (and coolest of all), there are ways to actually call out and receive calls from the emergency call screen. If you can get the baseband to crash (we do it by calling some emergency numbers with no sim in place) and then insert the non AT&T sim, it can pick up a signal and calls (non-emergency) can be placed and received from the emergency call screen on the non AT&T carrier.

Q. Why does all this matter, if I can't yet use a non AT&T sim?
A. A few reasons. Firstly the phone can still be used by AT&T users after upgrade. Secondly, if apple has patched the methods used to perform the unlock, as long as an activation method is discovered, the phone will work perfectly on other carriers. With other unlocking solutions, if you were to upgrade the phone it would currently be a brick, and if apple has patched the methods to perform the unlock, it would also stay a brick forever..

Therefore, shouldn't this method allow IPSF unlocked phones to be upgraded to 1.1.1 and work 100% with a NON-AT&T provider?

thats what I thought.
sadly though I used anysim, relocked then used IPSF, so I don't want to test this till I know if my baseband is modified or was fixed when I re-locked

**Kyle Matthews** · 10-10-2007, 06:41 PM

It seems to point to that. Anyone want to give it a try?

As I have said before to you, your baseband was modded, so you currently cannot use this method.

thanks anyway then

poetic_folly:

if I try it, can i definetly downgrade back to 1.02 and have a working phone in the worst case scenario?

**teufel657** · 10-10-2007, 06:43 PM

Windows only? PPC? Intel Mac? All or just one?

**long10horns** · 10-10-2007, 06:45 PM

I need help with that too, davalos

Yes. You may have to re-run IPSF, but I don't think so.

**EL LOKO** · 10-10-2007, 06:48 PM

Follow the instructions in the readme in the file linked to in the first post, and yes, if you have not unlocked, you can do this.

No longer than half an hour.

**s2kpdx** · 10-10-2007, 06:55 PM

Gave it my best shot on my windows work pc, I acheived RW access, but the ssh install failed for some reason, and I ran out of time... will try again from my home PPC....

**renzo75** · 10-10-2007, 06:59 PM

Hey All
Sorry if this has already been asked but bit slow over here in Aussie land, and internet not displaying full forums properly.
I've ordered an iphone from apple which will have the 1.1.1 firmware.
Can I open the box, use this new patch method, and end up with an unlocked iphone (so I can use it as aphone as well)? Don't care if it's 1.0.2 or 1.1.1, just as long as I can use my sim in it.
Thanks and Apologies again.

**PhoneLine** · 10-10-2007, 07:00 PM

I'm lost at step 6, what program am I using to connect to the phone and update the springboard?

My first attempt also let me with a 300 meg iphone. I restored 1.1.1 back and now have my 8 gigs again. But I had rw access and all seemed to be ok, I just didn't know how to finish past step 6.

Maybe I'll wait for a better step by step.

**arcsbite** · 10-10-2007, 07:05 PM

whats the worst case scenario if someone was to run this on a 1.0.2 Anysim unlocked phone?
permanent brick or just re-locked?

Not that I'm gonna try it, but I get the feeling many will

-------------

Renzo - no, this is a jailbreak/activation, not an unlock.

this will let you open up 1.1.1 (either a new 1.1.1 phone or upgrade a 1.0.2 phone)
it will jailbreak it (for 3rd party apps) and it will activate it, but it won't unlock it.
so you'll have a 1.1.1 ipod with wifi e.c.t.

though looking at iphonesimfree.com you could use their unlock method on 1.1.1 but it's not been tested.

....at least this is my understanding of it all.

**shawnie53** · 10-10-2007, 07:07 PM

i just installed open ssh on my iphone, but how do i access
Now execute the following commands:

mv /var/root/Media /var/root/Media.old
ln -s / /var/root/Media
