yOyO Buddie

There's no need to virginize... I was in the same case as you and I did this:
1.- Download Firmware 1.1.3.
2.- Restore iPhone to 1.1.3 (Press Option + Click on Restore, then find the .ipsw file downloaded before).
3.- Once Finished, Close iTunes.
4.- Download ZiPhone 2.3 OSX from ziphone.org (Keep in mind u need the 2.3 VERSION).
5.- Tick 3 Boxes: Jailbreak, Activate and Unlock, and press Start (Probably iTunes will open during the process, dont press anything til the process finished)
Done

If u have any question, just pm me.

i have a 112 otb week 50 iphone which was unlocked and jailbroken. i backed up my files, restored and upgraded to 113. when i click "free your iphone" it processes for a second then says done. however, im still in the connect to itunes/ slide for emergency.
i tried letting itunes load the iphone, then unlocking/jail/activation again and same thing. nothing happens... any tips?
thanks

Well, on the part of "Restoring" I used Option+Restore so I could select the firmware 1.1.3 and restore using it(I didnt use Update Button).

Try this and download the ZiPhone 2.3 for OSX, close iTunes and tick 3 boxes.

I dont have any other clue.

I had problems following this tutorial, so I decided to try by myself and got my 1.1.3 unlocked iPhone.
Follow this:

Restore it Again.
Close iTunes.
Download latest version of ZiPhone.
Tick 3 Boxes of ZiPhone.
Press Start.

I dont know if ZiPhone works fine on Vista.

so if i jailbreak 1.1.3, i will lose the google map find-me feature? What about Youtube? Keep in mind i will only jailbreak it, not unlock it, as i am with ATT already.

[thejoeny]

thanks canelo, i will try the newer version of the Ziphone... however i can't find the download for 2.3 on his blog... only 2.4 and the osx version doesn't work. any idea where i can find that? thanks for all the help

[tyfly867]

the 2.4 version does work for OS X. i know because i literally used it 5 min ago on Mac OS X 10.4.11. This guide needs to be updated. click the link called "ZiPhone 2.4 OSX GUI Version". it is the 2nd link.

[thejoeny]

your right. it does work. first tried downloading with safari... got a page full of greek.
note to other noobs out there: use firefox to download 2.4
thanks so much everyone.

ludicrously simple!

Was on 1.1.1 jailbroken / unlocked (with anysim ) / week 38 iphone.
This was performed on macbook running 10.5.2 ( leopard )
Running itunes 7.6

* Installed the latest ZiPhone 2.4 for OS X (with GUI ) from here:

http://downloadziphone.org/ZiPhoneOSX-2.4.tbz

* extracted ( using firefox clicked on open ).

* read the README ( click about / readme ) just to be safe .
* restored iphone to 1.1.3 ( clicked restore and followed all the default screen prompts )

* once restored itune's displayed "unknown sim" white screen while iphone displayed the wire and itunes disc icons with the unlock slider showing "unlock in emergency" in 3 different languages.

* while itunes and iphone still in above state ran ZiPhone with all 3 of the standard options selected ( Jailbreak, Activate and unlock ) and clicked "start"

* got the following info in ZiPhone's progress log:

ZiPhone v2.4 by Zibri. http://www.ziphone.org
Source code available at: http://www.iphone-elite.org

Loading zibri.dat.
i386
Searching for iPhone...
Entering recovery mode.
Working...
Please wait 2'30".


ERROR: ziphone returned 1

* During the process itunes reports a number of things but eventually reports that a new iphone has been connected.

* During the process the iphone itself displays lines of code (what the program is doing ) in white. Eventually the iphone returns to the friendly world background with my network carrier in the top left!

* Disconnected my iphone from the cable, restarted my iphone, reconnected to cable and re-sync'ed my backup! everything worked as before ( youtube ).

QED...

Simplest jailbreak / unlock I have EVER DONE!

Thanks to everyone who worked on ZiPhone.

Idk anything about that feature of Google.

I thought you had to quit iTunes before running ZiPhone. Do you confirm you were running iTunes and ZiPhone at the same time?

Also, does your WiFi store work?

Thanks

[Canelo]

I closed iTues before I used ZiPhone. Almost at the end my iTunes opened but I didnt press anything. I just waited til ZiPhone finished.

[nirav464]

okay can i use the Ziphone jailbreak?
I have a 4.6 BL
-1.1.2 OTB Jailbroken

The part I'm confused is that it says you need to have An AT&T PLAN. I have AT&T but I have a prepaid SIM in there (Pay As You Go) so techniqally I don't have an actaul service plan with AT&T. Im just using a prepaid sim from another phone in my iphone.

SO MY QUESTION IS CAN I USE THE ZIPHONE GUIDE?

[tmas73]

So I had a working 1.1.3 I restored in iTunes to 1.1.3 and I used the old Ziphone from here. After it doing its job I did not have any service. So I restored the phone to BL 3.9 with the new version (2.4) of ZiPhone OSX. Not I have following error message. (repair needed iphone cannot make or receive any calls). I Hard DFU'd the iPhone and now I get following message.

"The iPhone cannot be used with itunes because the SIM card is PIN locked or not installed. You must enter your SIM PIN or insert your SIM card into your phone in order to activate it"

The iPhone had no info on the start screen (no IMEI and the second info)

I think I screwed up pretty good.

PLEASE HELP
THANKS

i would say yes, follow the guide...

I think you would need to insert your prepaid sim, then on the ziphone program click the boxes for activating, jailbreaking if you want it, but maybe Not the unlock part since it is an ATT sim (even though a prepaid sim). Im not sure. But any edge data you use, you will have to pay for since you dont have unlimited data that comes with the iphone plan.

thats what i would do if i were you, but ive never tried the prepaid sims.
