All you need to do is to close Independence and then reopen and choose the folder again.

iNdepence showed iPhone activated & jailbroken, but iphone still shows message "waiting for AT&T activation". what went wrong? can anybody help?

[Kyle Matthews]

It will still say waiting, but it should let you access all functions of the iPhone except typical phone stuff like calling, SMS, etc.

[priatej]

the only problem is that as long as that waiting for at&t activation message is there, i can't run the SIMfree app at all. The phone goes into a black screen & doesn't do anything cus it thinks the iphone's not activitated. any other ideas? Pls help

[Kyle Matthews]

Ah, that just needs you to press Activate in iNdependence, or Free My Phone in iBrickr.

[priatej]

i did. i tried both programs on both platforms. both said my iphone is activated. but my iphone for some reason doesn't recognize itself as been activated.

in iNdependence, i activated the iphone, showed success message, jailbroken the iphone, showed successful. installed ssh, showed successful. then i put in the simfree.app, restarted my iphone, iphone shows waiting for AT&T activation.

restored iphone, tried iBrickr on Windows. sys showed iphone activated. but again, when i restarted iphone, it shows waiting for AT&T activation msg.

Have you tried using the iUnlock file we link to in the guide?

Okay, this isnt working for me. It goes into jail screen and then on my iphone a pic comes up with it showing connect to itunes, and nothing happens after that? What am I doing wrong.

I activate my iPhone with Independence, but when I try to install "BSD Subsystem", the iPhone show me a message "ERROR: Error during install script execution!"

Somebody help me ?

[Rs-studios]

I am screwed. I updated to the new update and now i cant unlock my phone, or activate it.

hello
i have a problem, when I push the sleep button and home button to get the triangle it never comes, there is only a picture on my iphone which shows a connector and the itune icon. can anyone help me please? thank you

Note to everyone that is using iNdependence. Download it and expand it so icon is on desktop. Don't put it in applications folder. Didn't work for me in that way.
When I run it from desktop, pointed out to directory with 1.0.2 files, it performed jailbreak as described in tutorial.

Regards,
Zack

finally got my iphone completely unlocked... still not sure how that happened, but anyways.

I got the same message when i tried to install the BSD Subsystem too. Just restart your phone & try in a couple hours. That worked for me. Could be a server problem.
