I got the same thing. This will fix your error...

c/p:
Solution!
Here is the real solution (other than the crap shoot of trying over and over again). It appears that there are 2 restore modes, the one where you see the itunes logo and connector, and another where the screen is black. Turn off your iphone by holding the power button. Once off, hold the power button and home button for exactly 10 seconds (THE SCREEN WILL BE BLACK), then release the power button and continue to hold the home button (THE SCREEN WILL STILL BE BLACK). iTunes will now recognize your phone and the restore will work successfully! Good luck!

Set your autolock to never.

Is there a way just to unlock the current 1.1.1 firmware, so i can use my non-ATT simcard? Please advice, thank you

hey bluegopher,

I had the same situation, this is a brief summary of what i did (using only modmyi.com guides):
1st - Downgraded my firmware to 1.0.2.
2nd - Activate my iphone with a non at&t sim using independence only after you check you have 1.0.2
3rd - Install BSD Subsystem and Open SSH.
4th - downgrade your baseband
5th - unlock iphone using anysim.

right now i have no interest at all to upgrade to 1.1.1 since i am in venezuela and i cannot access wifi itunes.

hope this helps.

Shadow450,

That guide is taken from a readme file that comes with 1.1.1 jailbreak files that iphone devteam have developed , in order to do as they say you must have ssh access to the iphone.
here (http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Dev...reak_1.1.1_OSX) you will find a fine guide that tells you how to jailbreak 1.1.1, since all new processes begin with downgrading 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 and if you don't mind not having wifi itunes my advise would be to stay in 1.0.2 as long as possible.

if you want to know how to downgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 here's the guide (http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Dow...firmware_1.0.2)

[Winnie22]

IN STEP 9 WHEN I TRY THE MTHOD OF ENTERING ssh -1 root "My I.P" & i wait..
IT ALSO SAYS "No address associated with nodename"

WHAT SHUD I DO???? PLEASE HELP ME GUYS AS I WUD DO THE SAME AM PANICKING

That's my same problem.

christianromanelli I have installed BSD, OpenSSH and did all of the other manuals but here I can't follow the instructions.
I'll be in 1.0.2 but I want to know! ^^

Thanks for all

guys... i appreciate all the great work you are doing..

excuse my questions because im new at this and im really scared of screwing up my iphone forever, i live in Lebanon and it impossible for me to replace my iphone which i desperately need, and i need it to function normally including making and receiving calls (if possible)

after 6 painful days trying millions of ways of unlocking, i gained some experience and realized that i had a 1.1.1 version with the new baseband fm which i downgraded to 1.0.2 but with the same baseband fm.

my questions:
if i dont have access to AT&T service will i be able to downgrade my BB fm to 1.0.2 version and make it work with any sim card?

do i have to insert my NON AT&T sim card in the iphone through the entire process?

if i understand right, i should go through steps 1 till 17 and discard step 18 and ill be a happy user of iphone?

P.S. i dont care if i use version 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 as long as i can make and receive calls + send and receive SMS....

excuse me if my post is too long... thanks a million in advance for everyone who might help

I did all the process with my NON AT&T sim card in the iPhone, if you don't I don't know if it doesn't work but you won't obtain the same messages that appears in the manual.
You must discard step 18 of course.
When you do this you won't need to do never unless you upgrade to 1.1.1

Luck with the process!
