Stuck and in desperate need of help with iphone
Ok, I needed to restore my 1.1.4 iphone...I had planned on "doing it all" with an early version of ziphone (about 6 months old)
I encountered my first problem when my newest 8.somethin version of itunes would not finish the recovery without a valid sim. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall an earlier version of itunes to do the job but the older itunes denied me saying that the software was not available and to download a newer version of itunes....
I noticed Ziphone is no longer free, it now unlocks all firmwares. if i purchase the new ziphone software will it get around the new itunes sim problem???
if not what are my other options???
Keep in mind i have limited .....ummmm......skills on the computer....proven by me needing ziphones "do it all" button.
thanks for you help guys. cheers -shawn

Go to the downloads page on this site and download winpwn 2.0.0.4 that is still compatible with 1.1.4. I think you will also need to downgrade itunes to version 7.5 or is it 7.7? Its been awhile since I had to restore on 1.1.4.

I cannot seem to get past the kiphone stage....when i run any of the ziphone/kiphone...patched or unpatched from the unziped folder it says cannot start because itunesmobiledevice.dll cannot be found....im lost
ok.....I downloaded the compressed zip, and tried extracting in into a new folder like i was told, i dunno if im doing it right...
doubt it because when i try to extract it it says "theres already a file with the same name as the folder, specify a different name"...
kiphone keeps crashingLast edited by sazcujo1; 03-16-2009 at 05:30 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost

Just curious. Why or What is 1.1.4 and is it better than 2.2.1?

no 1.1.4 is an older firmware for the iphone 2g. it was the last firmware released before the 2.0 app store release (besides the 1.1.5 ipod touch firmware). people still have it either because they are afraid to update because they have an unlocked phone or they just like 1.1.4 better than the 2.0
