so the website itself works

but when i click INSTALL APPSNAP, it goes directly back to springboard
it says to wait a couple of minutes, i waited 7 and still nothing

im not supposed to have a progress bar while it's installing, right?

I didn't get a progress bar. It kicked me back to the activate screen almost straight away, and I didn't think it was working. I left it for a couple of mins though and it eventually rebooted itself.

No progress bar, Safari crashes, goes back to the Activaton Screen and than it will restart itself!

a couple of min, i waited like 5-7

so maybe it's a waiting game, as soon as i saw that it kicked me back to springboard without any kind of progress bar, i assumed it is not working

i'll take a quick shower while it's doing its thing.....plssss work

thanks a lot guys!!!

It is not supposed to take that long, maximum 30 seconds, something is screwed

Hmm.. you seem to be in the minority, in terms of people who haven't realized success with this how-to... and it's not like anyone is going to offer assistance given the vitriolic venom you are spewing (try a bit of honey instead of vinegar next time, gub'nar.)

Anyway, for others on this thread, I successfully upgraded my unlock'd (T-Mobile) v1.1.1 iPhone using a hybrid between a shorter method and the longer method posted here (which has great screen shots of each step and is the same as what is posted in this thread/forum.) NOTE: The how-to posted in this forum has an initial step of using an app to re-virginize the baseband... I *did not* follow this step, having successfully virginized with this how-to prior to going to the v1.1.1 release a few weeks ago.

The shorter method, which bypasses the v1.0.2 portion of the downgrade, does shorten the process significantly and works like a charm. I am now enjoying a fully unlock'd and fully functional v1.1.2 iPhone. Everything works... YouTube, Stocks, Maps, Safari, Mail... everything.

That said, all three of the how-to's that are linked-to in this post accomplish that same goal - a current iPhone with no ties to the Evil Empire (that'd be AT&T here in the USA.)

Good times indeed... unless, you're philipsharp of course.

Ok, I'm just about to run Anysim again. Now the first time, it didn't give me a message saying "Done" or anything like that. Is it supposed to? I'm thinking that might be where it went wrong....

Hmm. It flashed up a quick message about restarting the phone, and I'm pretty sure it said error underneath that, but it was all very quick so I didn't get a good look.... ok, guess it didn't work. Now what....?

EDIT: I renamed the AnySIM1.2.app folder to just AnySIM.app, and it appears to be working now

Yes, it should gives you progress updates along the way and it takes a minute or two to run.. speaking of thw AnySim v1.2.1u application.

If you run AnySim and it sits a second and then goes back to the Home Page -or- if you run AnySim and are unable to slide the "unlock" slidebar, then you are likely experiencing a permissions issue with the AnySim application.

Make sure you CHMOD or Change the Permissions to 755 *and* do so recursively... using CHMOD with the "-r" parameter (not quotes) or by selecting the appropriate option in whatever WYSIWYG program you're using (Cyberduck, WinSCP or whatever.)

Hope this helps.

If I would be in your shoes I would downgrade to 1.0.2, downgrade baseband & virginize. Restoring to 1.1.2 downgrading to 1.1.1 jailbreak & install/execute anysim 1.2.1u, install oktoprep and update to 1.1.2

[apercele79]

i give up, maybe i should downgrade to 1.0.2 myself....

Be sure to OPTION+CLICK

[apercele79]

does anyone have a link for an easy writeup with the 1.0.2 route?

i was hoping i wouldn't go there, but im struggling with this writeup

edit: so much for that, when i shift+restored, i got error message 1
i'll stick to this writeup i guess

Ah yes, that'd be the other gotcha that one must be careful to avoid. Renaming AnySim is a specific step that cannot be skipped!

Good job figuring out your issue.

The longer method posted here works great *and* has step-by-step screen shots along the way. It's longer because it includes the step of downgrading to v1.0.2 (it's step #3 in the how-to) and moving forward again from there.

I hope this helps... let us know.

that took awhile to get done, but got it done. had alot of trouble with the iphuc. had to use it quite alot to access the emergency slider screen.

Being a complete n00b, im trying to get my head around this, I bought an OTB 1.1.1 iphone from the US and unlocked it using jailbreakme.com and then anysim. Do i need to downgrade this phone to update to 1.1.2 or can I install ohtoprep and just run the update ?

This is all a bit confoosin with all the downgrades and upgrades, can someone explain the reasons for this please ?

Thanks
