I just obtained an unlocked iPhone 1.1.4 today from someone who recently bought it in USA. It works fine with my SIM card (in malaysia), but there is no Installer icon in it. After much searching, i found out that Installer is available from apptap.com. I used a Windows PC and downloaded the Installer for Windows. When i run the installer setup, it prompts me for iPhone versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, or 1.0.2 only. Am I out of luck? What should I do?

All help appreciated.


In much stress,
Lukas

urs is unlocked but not jailbreak yet.

use iliberty+ (or ziphone but i dunno how) to jailbreak and install the cydia(which works like installer).

i dunno others.. but now i have both cydia and installer...

iLiberty+ is more recommended as there's several issues regarding jailbroken with Ziphone.

How can we unlock an iPhone without jailbreaking first? This is an interesting scenario.

using +iliberty but untick the installer box?

Ah... i always thought unlocking and jailbreaking is the same thing. Still don't know what the differences are between the two. Guess there's A LOT about iPhone that i do not know.

Since iLiberty does both unlocking and jailbreaking, and my iPhone is already unlocked, will running iLiberty still work? Which options should i choose when i run iLiberty amongst the many options presented: eg. unlock, jailbreak, activate, youtube fix, setup installer, downloading bootloader, etc. My iPhone just acquired today is 1.1.4. and it's bought in US, but i live in Malaysia. Currently, i can use it for phone call (incoming and outgoing) and sms.

Thanks.

Errr let me rephrase dat ... Is it possible to unlock an iPhone thats not been jailbroken?

Unlock = enabling the phone to accept any sim from other telcos other than on the intended telco.

Jailbreak = opening the phone system to user to access all the system files and lift up any restriction on it.

issues like what while using Ziphone?

byte... that scenario i kena ler...

i bought my iphone unlocked and supposed to be jailbroken, but when i use iphonebrowser.. it shows not jailbreak, but it is unlocked.

so i download iliberty+ and try to jailbreak without restore... jailbreak successful... but then got a bit problem.

so i full restore and do the whole process all over again.

Forget it bro... its a sensitive issue here... i've tried both... to TS, susah2, restore and break it again using the latest breaker out there... they comes with installer pre installed... digging ur device and adding sumthing that u r not sure will end up in a deep mess...

ha!! at the end of the day i tink TS may just restore and j/n again..

anyway..with iLiberty u can jz jail break mer..dun hv to unlock again..

and..never never never ask y ziphone is nt good..its a ques which gets 1 killed

Something to do with the way ziphone jailbreaks your iPhone or something; read it somewhere ages ago. Don't worry, it's no big deal if you've done it and nothing happened to your phone.

hmm even im user of winpwn, sometimes i jb/uL & act my phone with ziphone. seriously, it never bring me down but winpwn, have almost brick my phone once.
but still i prefer winpwn

I assume your phone was jailbreak by ziphone. iPhone thats been jailbreak by ziphone will face this issue coz it did not enable a service (AFC2 or AF2C if not mistaken) to run. This only happen if you use iphonebrowser, it will show that the phone has not been jailbreak. If u use SSH, u can view all the filesytem. To overcome this, install ZiPhone iBrickr fix from iClarified (or was it i.unlock.no ... err mana mana la). This fix will enable the service and iphonebrowser will detect it as jailbroken.

Last time u got problem coz u jailbreak an already jailbroken phone. Of couse la kaput.

wats the different between Ziphone & iLiberty ah?

And to answer my question back ... no its not possible to unlock (software based unlock) an iPhone without jailbreaking it first.

hahahahahahahahahahaha!! mana ada!
i seriously think we need more sticky than the one we have coz there's more problem repetitive than new one unless like wickedken'sboy's button problem >.<

neway HAI all!

After 15 replies, there is still no definitive response as to what I should do. If i go ahead and run iLiberty, which of the options should i select (jailbreak, activate, youtube fix, unlock, downgrade bootloader, cydia )?? My iPhone (1.1.4) currently can make calls and do sms, but doesn't have the Installer icon.

Can someone who really knows this stuff provide a definitive answer? Much thanks.
