Follow this guide to downgrade your iPhone firmware back to 1.0.2 (but still having BB firmware at 4.01)
http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Dow...firmware_1.0.2

After you have finished that guide, you should be looking at your Springboard.

STEP 1
1 - Connect your iPhone to iBrickr
2 - Go to applications and follow the instructions (it should ask you to restart phone twice)
3 - After you finished that, browse the applications and install - BSD SubSystem, openSSH, Mobile Terminal, and anySIM 1.0.2
(I did it in that order, I don't know if it matters though)

STEP 2
1 - After that, download the files that Poetic_folly provided here
2 - Extract the files and rename secpack.bin to just secpack
3 - Download bbupdater from here
4 - Now upload the following files to /usr/bin using iBrickr. (ieraser, secpack, ICE03.14.08_G.eep and ICE03.14.08_G.fls, bbupdater)

STEP 3
0 - Tap the Terminal icon and enter the following commands
1 - launchctl remove com.apple.CommCenter
2 - cd /usr/bin
3 - chmod +x bbupdater
4 - ./bbupdater -v (the v stands for versions I guess. This will show you which BB version you have)
5 - chmod +x ieraser
6 - ./ieraser (Wait for it to finish)
7 - ./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep (Wait for it to finish)
8 - ./bbupdater -v (Now check if you have BB version 3.14. If not then something did not go right. Try again)
9 - Tap the anySIM icon and let it do it's thing (Make sure the auto lock thing is set to never)

-Restart your phone and you should not get the "Incorrect SIM" error anymore
-You should also have the correct BB version now along with the correct IMEI number


I wrote this from memory, I hope its accurate and for the record, I don't know much about the unlock process or what its doing. I just followed the instructions from the first post

All credit goes to the people who made this possible!

Good Luck Guys!!

I have an unlocked iphone. i updated to 1.1.1 and bricked the phone. i downgraded the firmware successfully to 1.0.2 because i go the yellow triangle again. followed the steps but i cant get past step 3 which is to tap on Terminal icon. I have to use Terminal on the phone?? i'm still on the Activate Itunes screen and cant go to my springboard so i cant run Terminal on my phone. it also says incorrect sim. i have a valid att sim and contract and the IMEI is the weird number. no the same as the back of phone. can some one please point me the right direction. thanks in advance.

use putty although u need BSD and openSSH installed..

You need to bypass the ATT to be able to install the apps and user terminal via iphone or wireless

I already installed BSD and open SSH using iBrick. how do i bypass ATT. im using Windows. thanks

what is an easy way cause i looked around and found dvd jons way but involves hex editor an it all seems too confusing.

this does not work for me

all the other steps work perfect but even before unlocking again, i run the above command again and it is still not working correctly

itunes tells me the imei # is wrong and it wont connect to itunes...i can run the unlock utility and get service but still cannot connect to itunes...i have to restore the phone before it will connect to itunes again

am i missing something?

Works perfect on 3 phones so far. Use the PACAY batch after downgraded to get back onto your Springboard

So once you fully do this method does youtube work as-well?

Yes.

I just woke up after a 10 hour of try-to-hack-4-iPhones-1.1.1-get-a-brick-unbrick-day. I was stucked with some steps at the new method after installing 1.1.1. Acteally this guide saved me from some financial crashdown.

So just do the downgrade -
10 sec both buttons no iTunes running phone connected in dock (you can hear the unload USB sound on WinXP), screen is blank (black)
keep pressing only Home button, when u hear the new USB sound run iTunes. release Home button
shift-click restore button to restore from your downloaded 1.0.2 file
when done use AppTapp twice
apply the PACAY batch or other activation method
follow the guide up here.

Confirmed working on 3 of 4 phones so far. I am gonna try the 4th right now again.

i am having problems after downgrading firmware to 1.0.2 and baseband to 03.14.08. i followed the guide and everything worked successfully but i still get the incorrect sim message and the IMEI is still different. I downgraded because i had bricked my unlocked iphone after the update to 1.1.1. Please help.

p.s. i have a legit att sim and contract.

[k0mpresd]

i was getting wrong imei #...now i just get incorrect sim

i am also a legit at&t customer w/ an unlocked phone

no matter what i do or what the guides say the phone doesnt seem to go back to a totally virgin state

no, it does not fully fix it, the NVRAM is still corrupted, restore your phone still with 1.0.2 then AT&T will do normal activation.

EDIT: Of course thats after running anySIM again.

Hey dude, did you run PAYCAY?
Make sure ouy have 1.0.2
Run apptapp installer for 1.0.2
then run PAYCAY.
After these three steps, you should be able to see your springboard.

I have a bricked Iphone (1.02 unlocked, and updated to 1.1), I downgraded it, try different stuff to find a way to remove this f*ing locked window "this iphone need a activated simcard...etc" and.., I discovered after launched Ibrick v0.91 and Itunes, and clicked on "reload app list" at the same time as Itunes start to synch, I restart the Iphone, and I have access to all the 8 first icones, SMS, Calendar, Photo, camera, Youtube (working) Stocks, Maps, Weather... but not the other one, clock installer, etc...

So my question is simple, do there is a way to rename an app like "installer" in "SMS, or replace the link of the "sms" icon to the "Installer" application, allowing me to launch the instalation of the ssh, so I can downgrade the baseband and remove the brick lock?
--> maybe all of this is a stupid idea, but at least, I tried to do something.

Thanks
