How to Unlock a 1.1.1 Phone

Thanks to functionality already built into the iPhone, an unlock is possible from any software or firmware version.

With your iPhone turned on, but sleeping, hit the home button once. You will be prompted to "slide to unlock". Touch your finger to the slider button and drag it all the way to the right, then release. Your iPhone is now unlocked.

Important note: To prevent your phone from becoming locked again, touch your screen and move your finger around.

How to upgrade your unlocked 1.0.2 iPhone to an unlocked 1.1.1 iPhone (for OS X)
If you have an unlocked 1.0.2 iPhone, like I do, and like to be on the bleeding edge or just itching to download some songs directly to your iPhone, this is the guide for you. Be aware that you will be tinkering with the very guts of your iPhone and there's always a chance that you'll brick it or even worse turn it into a HTC Touch. In any case, I'd like to assure you that I've successfully upgraded 2 iPhones using the methods outlined in this guide. This guide is a consolidation of information & unlocking methods discovered in the hackint0sh.org & iPhone Elite forums. Credits must be given to naximus (hackint0sh.org) & Tifel (iPhone Elite), iPhone Elite Team for the revirginizing tool & Dev Team for AnySim 1.1.

Warning: Do this at your own risk.

So here goes nothing...

1.0 Revirginizing
(refer to iPhone Elite wiki http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/RevirginizingTool & forums http://rdgaccess.com/iphone-elite/viewtopic.php?t=98
For added peace-of-mind it is advisable to install the vt100 terminal application or MobileTerminal prior to running through this process just in case anything fails and you lose wifi access.
All references to IP address 192.168.1.100 should be replaced by your phone's IP address.)

Connect your iPhone to your Mac & quit iTunes if it comes up. Remember to watch out for ituneshelper in Activity Monitor.
Install SSH server using iNdependence. Just follow its instructions. The iPhone will need to be restarted twice. (If you already have a SSH server running, I still recommend uninstalling and installing the one from iNdependence)
Disconnect your iPhone from the Mac & plug it into the charger.

Uncompress virginizer_pack.zip on the Mac, open a terminal session, cd to the folder where you extracted virginizer_pack & copy the entire folder to your iPhone. The password for root is dottie

scp -r virginizer_pack root@192.168.1.100:/usr/bin

Backup your seczone

Connect to your phone:

ssh root@192.168.1.100

Change to the working directory:

cd /usr/bin/virginizer_pack

Stop CommCenter: (-w is not needed and is unrelated to norz "Waiting for data" problems)

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

Make norz executable:

chmod +x ./norz

Make a seczone backup: (should only take about 2 seconds)

./norz seczone.backup 0x3FA000 0x2000

You should see:


This will create a file called seczone.backup in the working directory. Exit back to your Mac and copy the seczone.backup file off to somewhere safe:

exit
scp root@192.168.1.100:/usr/bin/virginizer_pack/seczone.backup /seczone.backup

Virginize

Connect to your phone again:

ssh root@192.168.1.100
cd /usr/bin/virginizer_pack

Make iUnlock executable:

chmod +x ./iUnlock

Now do:

./iUnlock ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls ./eliteloader.bin

You should see:


Takes about 30 seconds

Make bbupdater executable:

chmod +x ./bbupdater

Now check the baseband status:

./bbupdater -v

You should see:

Takes about 26 seconds.

Your seczone should now be repaired.

Now reflash the default 3.14.08 baseband firmware:

./bbupdater -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ./ICE03.14.08_G.eep

You should see:

Takes about 2 mins.

Now check the baseband again:

./bbupdater -v

You should see:

Takes about 6 seconds

Restart CommCenter:

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

Congratulations, you have virginized your phone!

Power off the iPhone and power on. An "Incorrect SIM" message will appear as your iPhone is now locked. It should still be activated & jailbroken. If it is not then you'll need to activate & jailbreak using iNdependence which should be fairly straightforward.

PRE-111 firmware preparation

Connect your iPhone to the Mac.
Open iNdependence. (iNdependence's status should be "Connected to iPhone - Firmware 1.0.2 - activated - AFC connection - jailbroken)
Go to the Firmware tab and click the "Pre 1.1.1 Upgrade "button. Enter your iPhone's IP address and use dottie as the password.
Follow the instructions from iNdependence. (Open iTunes, Set Up Your iPhone as a new phone, Give it a name, Click Continue)
Once the iPhone is shown in iTunes, go back to iNdependence and click OK.
iNdependence will do its Pre-111 magic for about 10 seconds.
When the " Success Your phone is now ready to be upgraded to 1.1.1" dialog appears, click OK.
Quit iNdependence.

Now switch back to iTunes which should be in your dock and running.

Update to 1.1.1 using iTunes

Click UPDATE NOT RESTORE.
If you have not downloaded the 1.1.1 ipsw file, iTunes will do so now. This will take awhile. It's a 152MB file.
iTunes will then extract, verify, update & verify again so please wait while your iPhone is upgraded to 1.1.1. It shouldn't take longer than 7 minutes.

Once the wait is over you should get a message from iTunes saying that the iPhone has been updated. Click OK and quit iTunes.

Your iPhone will restart and the screen will show "Activate iPhone".

Activate & Jailbreak 1.1.1

Open iNdependence. Verify that the status is "Connected to iPhone - Firmware 1.1.1 - not activated - AFC connection - jailed". If you see anything else, sorry, but you'll have to start over.

Activate the iPhone. Go to the Activation Tab and click Activate Phone.
After about 1 min 30 secs, iNdependence will ask you to power off & on the iPhone. Just follow its instructions.
You'll need to power off & on the iPhone one more time and it should have been activated & jailbroken.

Status is now "Connected to iPhone - Firmware 1.1.1 - activated - AFC connection - jailbroken"

Reinstall SSH. Go to the SSH tab and click "Install SSH/SFTP/SCP". You will have to restart the iPhone twice for this.

Unlock 1.1.1

Now go to the Customize tab. Click on Applications and System.
Click Add button and browse to your downloaded anySIM 1.1 location and select it. Use AnySIM1.1, AnySIM 1.1p did not work for me.
You will be asked for iPhone's IP address and password. Use "alpine" for the password. If you get a "Host Verification Failed" message, just click Yes to fix it.
Quit independence.

Put your SIM into the iPhone if it's not already in. (I left my DiGi SIM in throughout the whole process accidentally and it was OK.)
You should see anySIM in your springboard.
Touch anySIM & Slide to Unlock. Read the License Agreement and scroll down till you see a red button.
Touch the red "OK. Unlock My Phone" button.
Wait while AnySIM copies, erases & flashes firmware. This takes about 4 mins 50 secs.
Finally and hopefully, the message you see is "Unlock Successful!" Touch OK.
Restart the iPhone.

Post Unlock Steps (Optional but recommended)

Use iNdependence to remove both AnySIM & SSH (You can keep SSH if you like but it runs in the background all the time thereby reducing your iPhone's battery life).

Now you should have an activated, jailbroken & unlocked iPhone 1.1.1.

I've done this to 3 phones and all have gone well with Calls, SMS, WiFi & Youtube all working.

Please let me know how it goes for you. I'll try to answer any questions that you may have.
