Hey everyone, hopefully someone can help me with this dilemma:

I have an IPSF unlocked phone, running on 1.1.3 using the "soft unlock" method. however, this evening it froze on me, so I had to do it all again. searching for the tutorials, i phone Ziphone, and a tutorial on modmyifone.com about upgrading your IPSF phone to 1.1.3:

IPSF update to 1.1.3 - ModMyiFone - Wiki

so off i go, i follow it, and it all worked well - i did step 5, it rebooted, and "yes optus" came up on the screen, then vanished - and now I cannot get it back! can anyone help me with this? it would be much appreciated.. I restored to 1.1.3, tried signal.app, tried again and again - still nothing... any ideas??

-stin.

Yeah this happened to me. I recommend re-virginising your phone back down to 1.1.1. I had the exact same problem - scared the crap out of me. I revirginised to 1.02 in my case (that's what it shipped with) then upgraded to 1.1.1. I have been too scared since to upgrade again since the process (including upgrade and downgrade) took me till 4am (!!!) on a weeknight. Methinks I'll wait for version 2.0 software now.

works a treat, fast as heck.

No! Don't virginize IPSF phones!

The virginization process is only suitable for AnySIM unlocks. I'd suggest restoring your iPhone to 1.1.1, then downgrade your baseband. It should all work fine then. If not, then you can safely apply AnySIM on top of IPSF.

thanks for the opinions guys, now as far as I can see there are two paths:

-use iPlus with version 1.1.4 firmware

-downgrade to 1.1.1, and downgrade the baseband

In thinking about it last night i doubt the seczone has been touched, as that is the thing that IPSF changes permanently - and the ziphone things are completely reversible..

so if anyone could point me in the direction now of a tutorial (or multiples tutorials, i'm not that clueless when it comes to these things) that would be much appreciated..

is that true? howcome i can do that? i thought from my readings the IPSF process was non-reversible..

IPSF is reversible so long as you keep your seczone token. Nevertheless, since AnySIM modifies the baseband as opposed to the bootloader for IPSF, they are mutually exclusive and can be safely applied one on top of the other. I have done this to my iPhone.

no seczone token for me, it was done in about september/october last year..

so you reckon i can still do it, despite me having no seczone? how about i just upgrade to 1.1.4, and run the full unlock using iPlus? using their carrier unlock method?? if that does't work, i guess i can downgrade the baseband back to 1.1.1 or something.

ok this is weird...

i used ziphone late last night, and it failed. however, turn the phone on this morning and - VOILA! it works....

dunno how but it does

EDIT - although it is still jailed, working on it now...

My advise would be do a restore in Itunes to 1.1.4 then Ziphone. worked for me and took less than 5 min
Have you downloaded the latest Ziphone

after much fiddling, i found a method that works:

restore to 1.1.3 with iTunes

activate with ziphone, latest version, tick the box under advanced that says activate

i then get reception with optus under emergency call - sometimes it takes a while though - i turned it off for 10/15 mins, and boom it worked

jailbreak with iPlus, using ./iplus -j

and now everything is working, except sound - fixed by resetting all settings in the "settings" menu.

thanks for all your help everyone!

I have an IPSF unlocked phone, and all I needed to do was install an app called Signal.app and set it to run every time the phone starts up.

You see, since 1.1.3 Apple have removed the part of code from their iPhone OS that checks for the unlock status of the bootloader. What this app does is basically gets the bootloader to send its unlocked status to the iPhone OS.

Doing it this way means I can use the latest baseband firmware version and its resistant to Apple's software upgrades.

PM me if you wan the Signal.app program and instructions.
