This guide is tried and tested by members of our forum to work with all 1.1.1 iPhones unlocked with any method aside from iPhoneSimFree. As always though,
proceed at your own risk.
Thanks to laughingbird and W9cae for the guide. The original thread with discussion can be found
here.
What you need
• An iPhone on 1.1.1 unlocked and jailbroken
• A WiFi Connection for the iPhone
• A Computer with web browser and iTunes connected to internet
• About an hour of spare time, much of which will be spent watching, drinking, and praying while things download and install.
• This guide
1. Before you begin
1.1 Sync your iphone so you don’t loose anything
1.2 If you want to play it extra safe, you could use Installer to uninstall any third party applications, and erase all content and settings (Settings > General > Reset), and then reboot the phone (turn it off and back on again). If you have erased everything, you will need to reenter to your WiFi password.
1.3 Open the web browser on your computer and go to
http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/site/112jb.html Download the 1.1.2 jailbreak to your computer. It will download as a .zip file. Open the file and it will create a folder called “1.1.2-jailbreak”. There is a README inside that folder, but you can ignore it because anything you need to know from it is already included in this guide.
2. Preparation
2.1 On your iPhone, tap on installer (and wait for sources to refresh if necessary)
2.2 From “Tweaks (1.1.1)” find “OktoPrep”. If you can’t find these, you need to first install “Community Sources”.
2.3 Install “OktoPrep”. It will run itself and then tell you that you are ready to update.
3. Upgrade
3.1 Connect iPhone to computer and open iTunes
3.2 Click on “Update” to install FW 1.1.2 (make sure you choose “update” not “restore”)
3.3 Wait the half hour or whatever it takes to complete the download and installation. A drink and a prayer help pass the time at this point.
3.4 You now have a locked and unactivated 1.1.2 iPhone.
3.5 Quit iTunes, but leave your iPhone connected to your Mac.
4. Jailbreak
4.1 On your computer, open the “1.1.2-jailbreak” folder.
4.2 If you are on an OSX Mac, double click on the “jailbreak.jar” file. If you are using Windows, double click on windows.bat.
4.3 Follow the on-screen prompts as follows:
4.4 In the first window, click on the “Jailbreak” button. Don’t check the “Install SSH” box unless you especially want it. If you don’t know what it is, then you won’t be needing it! Another stiff drink and a prayer will go down well while watching the progress bar - about 5 minutes.
4.4 At the end of this, the iPhone will shutdown and reboot itself several times. It will look like it’s stuck in a loop, but just wait it out. It will sort itself out.
4.5 Once this is finished, you can disconnect the iPhone from the computer, because the rest is done on the iPhone through its WiFi connection.
5. Unlock
5.1 Go to Settings > General > Auto Lock, and set to “Never”.
5.2 Go to Installer, and from the “System’ folder, install “BSD Sybsystem” if it is not already on your phone.
5.3 Go to Installer, and from the “System’ folder, install “OpenSSH”. (We don’t know why this is necessary, but we have reports of the unlock failing if it hasn’t been done.)
5.4 Go to Installer, and add a new source called
http://rep.frenchiphone.com To do this you tap on “Sources”, then on “Edit”, then on “Add”, then type in the address, and then tap on “OK”.
5.5 Refresh sources (it will probably do that by itself), and then install Anysim 1.21u, but DON’T RUN IT YET. To install it, tap on “Install” at the bottom of the screen, then tap on the “FrenchiPhone.com” folder, then tap on “anySIM 1.21u” (not the other version!), and then tap on the “Install” button at the top of the screen.
5.6 Reboot the iPhone (that means turn it off and then back on again - right off, not just sleep).
5.7 Go to Settings and turn on the AIRPLANE mode (this is very important. If you forget it your phone will get stuck in a loop and you’ll have and go to beg W9cae for instructions on how to get it out.)
5.8 Return to the Springboard and tap on the AnySIM to run anySIM 1.21u.
5.9 Your phone is now unlocked, but you are not yet finished.
5.10 Go to Installer > Uninstall, and uninstall AnySIM 1.21u. It has done its job and is no longer required.
6. Install iWorld
6.1 Turn Airplane mode off again.
6.2 Go to installer and from “Tweaks (1.1.2)” install iWorld
6.3 Return to the Springboard, tap on the iWorld icon and follow the prompts.
6.4 Go to Installer > Uninstall, and uninstall iWorld. It has done its job and is no longer required.
7. You’re done... but...
7.1 ... you’ll want to dock and sync you iphone, it should restore from backup your settings.
7.2 ... you can go back to to Settings > General > Auto Lock, and set it to something other than “Never”.
7.3 ... you’ll want to verify that everything is working, calls, SMSs, emails
7.4 ... you’ll want to check that YouTube is working. If not, go to Installer and install “YouTube Activation” which is found in the “Unlocking Tools” category. If it is not there, you will have to first add the source
http://i.unlock.no (see 5.3 above if you need help on adding a source).
7.5 ... you’ll want to check that your EDGE settings remain. They did for me, but if they don’t, download the EDGE settings fix from installer (Unlocking Tools).
7.6 ... if you took the safe option of uninstalling any third party applications, you’ll want to reinstall them now.
7.7 ... you’ll want to program your voicemail button. Open the phone dial pad and tap the following code: *5005*86*xxx# where xxx is your phone company’s voicemail number. Then tap call and after a second, the code will have been set.
