How do I do this?
I just bought a new Iphone off ebay. The iphone came new in the original packaging (NIB) When I turn it on, it shows the connect to itunes picture (From looking at another site, they say the picutre show I have 1.1.4 preloaded) and itunes wants to activate my iphone. I want to unlock it to use tmobile.
My question is, do I have to unlock the 1.1.4 with winpwn? (i am on a pc) or can I upgrade to 2.1 and use the dev team unlock?
What is your best reccomendation?

well, i have actually read that link and it looks like it would work great. But I have a brand new phone, so I can't upgrade to 2.1 because when I plug my iphone into itunes I get the "welcome to your new iphone" screen where I am forced to activate through at&t. is there a way around this?

If its running 1.1.4.....your iphone has been "NIB" for a long long time. Cause 1.1.4 was gone awhile ago.
And we're assuming you have a 2G?
And to upgrade place the phone into DFU mode...then it will restore/upgrade.
Then you would preferrable want to use Pwnage to unlock.

thanks to both of you. I don't know why I didn't think of putting it into DFU mode and then doing the unlock. Thanks for helping me out so quickly.
