Hi amnesia

Nice one I'm sure many will find this very helpful the only thing that remains to be seen now is if all these things continue to work with the soon to be realeased firmware 1.11. Which I'm sure is going to b realeased in the US soon and definitely before they are realeased in the UK.

@Dogmann

Sure will be interesting! If it doesn't work I am sure it will be a matter of days (now that the iPhone's "ins and outs" are pretty much well known) before a new hack is released!

@Amnesia

Great tutorial!

Posted by Dogmann
@Coxy,

I agree i really can't see how anyone can believe that suddenly they will be able to disable all of the hacks and customisations as basically what they do is write new instructions to the base band.

I really do wonder just how many of the sold iPhones will actually be used on the 02 network with one of their iPhone tariffs.

Thanks, I think Ibrickr is the pc version isnt it?

Posted by smilerthe cheshirecat
From what I can make out....

Let me know how you get on... expecting a baby iPhone next week

Posted by SloopJohnB
ibrickr only works with itunes 7.3.x?? what about 7.4.x?

Posted by amnesia
The funny thing is I've had 64 emails today!

I thought the tutorial was straight forward if you follow it directly.

The video has a link which contains ALL the files you need.

iTunes 7.3, iBrickr, and Lockdownd. (it also comes with some bonus apps)


People have said iBrickr can work with some versions of 7.4 but I haven't tested it and this way is the reliable way.

There are MANY methods. My method is just the easiest way.

This tutorial is also for PC.
iFuntastic is the Mac version of iBrickr.

Hope I've answered it all

On a side note, if people can't find the link (although it's at the middle and the end of the video) here it is

so far so good, but now when I run AppTapp Installer, and run activation it says error entering recovery mode.

Posted by amnesia
why did you install AppTapp?
I'm not sure if you need that with Mac.

Posted by smilerthe cheshirecat
I thought with the mac... you use iFuntastic... then move anysim over to the iphone after jailbreaking with iFuntastic?

Posted by amnesia
that's exactly the case.

Simply follow my tutorial except use iFuntastic rather than iBrickr.

Best place I have found is hacktheiphone.com, tutorials for MAc and PC, with Images/Screenshots.

Posted by smilerthe cheshirecat
Tis a nice video Amnesia... nice work sir

Posted by amnesia
your very welcome. People can see baby faced amnesia (Can you imagine I'm 23?)

Anyway, yes there are some nice tutorials, but a video actually lets you see what to do so it helps people understand the basics.

will it work on a mac?

Well I ran the Independance program, but the sim lock seems to stay on the phone if you dont run AppTapp....all very confusing!!!

Posted by smilerthe cheshirecat
Well it does say that INdependence does not sim unlock...?

Have you tried running AppTap on your mac...?

Or you beyond this now?

Posted by Dogmann
Hi all,

Just two things the first thing that i find pretty amazing is that there actually seems to be more of these apps that run under Windows than Mac which i really do find strange for Mac device.

The second is potentially not so good news which is it seems that gaining access to the iPod touch is proving less successful and harder to achieve. So maybe their is a benefit to indeed getting an iPhone sooner rather than later running 1.02 and then once unlocked and hacked for the custom installations not updating the firmware. Which may make the earlier US sourced iPhones more valuable a little like what happened with the PSP as the later releases blocked the loading of Home brew and the other things that could be done with these earlier firmware versions.

Personally i would love to see the Touch cracked so it could run the E-Mail software and if it could also link to your Mobile via the WiFi for 3G or HSDPA speeds would also make it a killer combo IMO. A bit like the concepts we were shown ages ago where you had a central server type device that you just connected peripherals to when needed. I always thought that was great concert that never reached the market.


No one will really know until 1.1 firmware is released in the US and someone upgrades and sees what changes actually occur as to if it will block all the wonderful things that can be done.

Although if this is how it turns out it then it makes the fact the iPhone is locked to one Network and IMO illegal more relevant again.

the thing is, if I knew what's different (component wise and model numbers) then I'd be able to assess whether or not I could try to trick the iTouch that it's an iPhone. I don't want to brick it

Posted by Dogmann
@amnesia

All the teams of guys that broke the iPhone have been trying to do it to the touch and are reporting that Apple have drastically changed things with encryption and various other blocking methods so far they are having little to no success at all and more worryingly getting no where fast in their attempts.

That is why a lot of people are now buying the early 1.02 firmware iPhones as they are not sure after this 1.1 update any of the unlocks or customizations will be able to be applied any longer. It looks like maybe Apple have slammed the door shut on customisations and unlocking after all.

Marc


Posted by amnesia
which is VERY silly in my opinion.
However I'm pretty sure that come the Asian release, it'll be unlocked.

No mobile is locked in the Middle East nor in China.
If it was locked, nobody would buy it.

I'd say Apple would be very stupid to avoid these two regions. Especially since Arabs change their mobiles as much as once a month.

Finally, when the UK version comes out and the US firmware upped to 1.1.1 then I think it'll be as simple as comparing the two firmware's and seeing what's different.

Just read this via Engadget....

Hi Im upto stage 3 now, but I dont have WiFi at home, and I cant seem to log onto any public ones with enough of a connection to use the installer on the phone!!!! If anyone knows of a good wireless network around Mayfair/Bond Street please let me know.

Thanks

Posted by below24
Thanks for the tutorial and the clip(s).

Very useful dude.

Posted by amnesia
Jiggy, the problem is that you are doing a totally different method as what I've mentioned.
I don't use apptapp.

ALL you need is
Ibrickr, Anysim and a file called Lockdownd.

If you follow my instructions you'll be fine.

Use ibrickr, then copy over anysim.
Then copy over lockdownd to the correct folder (shown int he video)

Then switch off your phone, switch it on, then run anysim.

When you DO run anysim, make sure there is NO sim card in the phone.


If you start to have problems or errors, just restore the phone and start over.

Posted by JiggyJaggy
The problem is I dont have a PC, I only have a MAC. Any thoughts?

Posted by amnesia
if you have a Mac, all you need to do is follow the same steps, except use a program called iFuntastic rather than iBrickr

Posted by amnesia
if you can't find firmware 1.0.2 you can download it from
