[GUIDE] Upgrade 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 + Jailbreak + Activation + YouTube & Unlocking

[apercele79]

Select the second URL called jailbreakme.com of the contact you created and and follow the Install AppSnapp. Wait for it to finish and reboot the phone when its done.

as soon as i click INSTALL APPSNAP, it goes directly to the main screen, waiting to activate....there must be some bug, because nothing is being installed

I assume you are in 1.1.1 and want to jailbreak to be able to use oktoprep, right? Did you reboot after installing Installer?

i rebooted twice, every time i reboot i get the itunes icon with the SYNC cable....therefore i have to use iPHUC to get it to work..

it's so weird cuz i cant get this annoying appsnap to work; i click it, and it goes directly to springboard, i need that INSTALLER icon, without it, i cant proceed

apercele79: Try to restore 1.1.1 again use Independence to kick you out of recovery mode and than go for the *#307#

philipsahrp: It seems as you are the super smart guy, whatever, that is not the tone we talk to each other here, please calm down, I am glad to help out if you need support!

[apercele79]

im on windows, isnt independence only for macs?

[simonk83]

Yeah. I just got to the end, and the phone is activated, but not unlocked. It just keeps telling me I need to use an approved sim Now I'm rolling back to 1.1.1 and will start from Phase 4 again

[xandili]

apercele79: yes, than use iphuc and execute

cmd setenv auto-boot true
cmd saveenv
cmd fsboot

simonk83: Have you unlocked your phone before using any other method? If yes, I tell you to viriginize it before you start!

[simonk83]

So I definitely leave the sim I want to use in the phone the whole time?

My phone was originally 1.02, then I unlocked that a while ago. I then virginized and upgraded to 1.1.1 a few weeks ago. For this upgrade, I didn't virginize again as I assume that's what OneSim is for...

[apercele79]

well i did that, since i have an at&t card, it got activated, now i need to jailbreak
i did the *#307#, i got to the appsnap website, i can read the FAQ's, WHATS NEW, ETC
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?

[xandili]

Yes, the SIM you want to use can be inserted through the whole progress!

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.

[xandili]

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

[apercele79]

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

....Stop trying to be so cocking smart and get the basics right first

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....
