Got an iPhone? have it on version 1.1.1? Cant wait to get v1.1.2 to get those international keyboards? Wait no more!
Here is a guide to get from iPhone v1.1.1 to v1.1.2
Special thanks to conceited software, tauw and all the others who worked on getting this working.
Guide: (UPDATED Nov 24th)
Note: There is NO unlock for out of the box v1.1.2 iPhones. So if you bought an iphone that had v1.1.2 pre-installed on it then it CANNOT be unlocked.
Before we begin, download the following:
Here is another guide that follows this scheme but has more photos : link
Before doing anything run oneSIM on your unlocked v1.1.1 phone:
- Download and Install the oneSIM.app and chmod all files to 0755
- Set your Auto-Lock to Never
- Run oneSIM from SpringBoard
Phase 1 :: Checking your bootloader version
For those of you who have owned an iPhone prior to November 9th, then you can skip this step. If you don’t otherwise know any better, you might want to verify what bootloader you have on your iPhone right now.
First you will need to have bbupdater installed in your /usr/bin folder. Make sure it is chmod 0755. Use the Terminal to login to the iPhone via SSH. Enter the following commands:
launchctl remove com.apple.CommCenter
bbupdater -v
Your results better match those below as far as the bootloader is concerned. If they don’t, then DO NOT proceed!
Resetting target…
pinging the baseband…
issuing +xgendata…
firmware: DEV_ICE_MODEM_04.01.13_G
eep version: EEP_VERSION:207
eep revision: EEP_REVISION:8
bootloader: BOOTLOADER_VERSION:3.9_M3S2
When you are done checking, restart your iPhone.
Phase 2 :: Upgrade 1.1.1 to 1.1.2
- Restore the iPhone to 1.1.2 firmware by putting the iPhone into DFU mode. Do this by pressing and holding the Home button, and the Sleep/Wake button.
- As soon as the screen goes black, let go of the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button. Connect the iPhone to iTunes and you will get this pop up. The iPhone will display this graphic.
- Click the SHIFT + Restore button or on a Mac (your keyboard key) and point it towards the 1.1.2 firmware you downloaded.
- Various messages will appear while the process continues.
- The iPhone will restart, and iTunes will display this image.
- The iPhone will display the new multi-lingual emergency slider and connect to iTunes graphic. You are now on 1.1.2 firmware with the new 04.02.13_G modem firmware.
Phase 3 :: Downgrade back to 1.1.1
- Downgrade to 1.1.1 firmware. You need to put the iPhone into DFU mode again. The restore should, go through and errors at the end with error 1015. However you will notice that the iphone is in DFU mode with the connect to itunes screen from 1.1.1.
- Download a working copy of iPhuc and issue the following commands:
cmd setenv auto-boot true
cmd saveenv
cmd fsboot
Jailbreak by following the below method:
- On the Activation Screen, slide the Emergency Screen.
- Type *#307# and hit Call, the phone will start ringing and display 1 Calling.
- Delete all the numbers from the top right of the screen and Call the number 0.
- Press Answer, Hold and then Decline.
- Go to Contacts and create a contact. In the Url field type prefs://1f and save it. Then add another URL and type jailbreakme.com and save it.
- Click on the prefs://1f and you can select your WiFi network. Exit by pressing home and then Dial and Call the number 0 from the emergency screen.
- Select the second URL called jailbreakme.com of the contact you created and and follow the Install AppSnapp. Wait for it to finish and reboot the phone when its done.
Unlock using anySIM1.2.1u
- Run Installer and install BSD Subsystem & OpenSSH
- Extract the anySIM.app folder from anySIM1.2.1u.zip onto a folder.
- Download WinSCP
- Check the IP issued by your WiFi for your phone, it should something like 192.168.xx.xx
- Run WinSCP and enter the IP as asked above, and put the username: root & password: alpine
- Wait for 30-35 secs and you will be asked to add a host key (big dialog box) say Yes
- After login into your phone, goto root -> Applications and copy the anySIM.app folder there and chmod all the files inside the anySIM.app folder to 0755 (by selecting all files and click on Properties)
- PowerOff your phone and put the original AT&T SIM
- PowerOn & now you will find the anySIM icon on your SpringBoard. Goto Settings > General > Auto-lock change it to Never.
- Run anySIM
- After it shows the "Successfully unlocked message".
- Prepare your 1.1.1 device for the Update
(I). Launch Installer.app
(II). Scroll down to Tweaks (1.1.1)
(III). Select OktoPrep
(IV). Click Install
Phase 4 :: Upgrade to 1.1.2 - Thanks callx
What you’ll need:
Extra tools for the optional steps:
- Putty (SSH client)
- UltraEdit Text Editor (HEX editor)
- Tools (contains BASH, ls, AppSupport, sample carrier.plist)
- Connect your phone to iTunes.
- Do either Download & Install or press SHIFT + Update button and point it to the v1.1.2 firmware you downloaded manually.
- Jailbreak 1.1.2
- So, right now you should have a nice 1.1.2 activate screen talking in tongues. As a rule of thumb, just open iTunes and let it detect the iPhone then close it.
- Now run windows.bat from the 1.1.2 jailbreak and check option Install ssh, change password if needed and click Jailbreak
- Might take like 5-10 mins, more coffee maybe?Carrier settings *optional* (For those who wanna sexy up that iphone)
- Winscp to your phone and put ls and bash in /bin
- Click on "more", set both permissions to 0755
- Check here for your carrier’s MCC and MNC (it’s not as hard as it sounds)
e.g MCC = 334 MNC = 02, the number we’ll need is 33402
- Open the Telcel.plist in UltraEdit or wordpad and modify accordingly (Don’t forget to rename your .plist file & change the supported sim section)
- Use winscp to put the modified .plist to /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/
- Open putty and connect to your phone
- Type bash at the prompt
- Type cd /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support
- Type ln -s NUMBER YOURCARRIER.plist
e.g ln -s 33402 Telcel.plist
- Remove your sim and put some other sim in it to reset the carrier settings(maybe that unactivated att simcard lying around?)
- Remove the sim card and put back in yours after the phone detected it
- You should be set, no reboot neededFix for crashing phone/sms *optional*
- In Installer, look under Tweaks v1.1.2
- Install iWorld select your country from the list and its done

I’m unclear about Step 4, above, which says “If you are using iTunes 7.5 you will have to get a MobileDevice from a
previousv version in order to run Independence.”
I am using iTunes 7.5 so that means me - but I don’t know what it means to get a “MobileDevice” from a pervious version in order to run Independence. Can someone explain?

He is talking about the MobileDevice.framework, I had the same issue yesterday. I kicked it out of recovery mode using iNdependence 1.3 beta2. using the old 7.4 framework.
All went fine till I ran anySIM, while running anySIM it hang for a while and rebooted on his own… For the moment I only see a nice Apple logo and a spinner. Although I can connect on the device using SSH and issue reboot etc.. Can someone guide me to get out of the black screen?

I’m not living in the US, so my iPhone was unlocked using iNdependence and AnySim. Okay, I did the Oktoprep and upgraded my 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 last week and the phone became locked and my SIM unrecognised. I had to downgrade 1.1.2 > 1.1.1 > 1.0.2, flashed the baseband and revirginize and now back to 1.1.1.
So what’s changed this time??? Will my iPhone be unlocked AND jailbroken in 1.1.2 with this hack? Thanks!

This is not working with OTB 1.1.2 iPhones… just went into entire process and did all steps, however at last one, after installed anySIM and making it allow my GSM card to work on it, it fails.
If one wants to install apps but stuck using AT&T chips, you’ll be better luck than us.

hello,
i was on v1.1.1 (unlocked)before and i tried to update and jailbreak it to 1.1.2 but unfortunately, wont recognize my sim anymore. I have tried to downgrade again using this method and i have gone as far as the “errors 1015″ and i have downloaded iPhuc to kick it out DFU mode. But unfortunatetly, i dont know how to run the cmds given above (i am on a windows )and i dont have iNdependence.
Could somebody ples tell me where and how to enter the cmds?
Thanks

Step #1
- If iNdependence is not available or you are on a Windows machine, download a working copy of
iPhuc and issue the following commands: (he means “type the following on iphuc window:”)
cmd setenv auto-boot true
cmd saveenv
cmd fsboot

well, how do i know a “working iphuc”. The one i d/ld was from the developer website and after extracting it, all i have in the folder was just a single file and when i click on it , a window opens for the to choose the program to use to open the file. \dont know how to open it.
Secondly, i also have a mac intel and when i run independence to activate and jailbreak, it woudnt coz it need fw version 1.0.2 and when i try to install (1.0.2) that via itune , it wouldnt do it.
Please help!

Hi,
nice Manual, at least after you fixed the mistake with anySIM 1.2.1u under 1.1.2. god was i scared
Just One Question. Why downgrade to 1.0.2 ? Makes no sense in my opinion cause anySIM 1.2 works with 1.0.2 and 1.1.1.
I did it without downgrading to 1.0.2 and everything went fine.
1) restore 1.1.2
2) restore 1.1.1
3) jailbreak und activate 1.1.1
4) anySIM 1.2 on 1.1.1
5) oktoprep 1.1.1
6) update 1.1.2
works perfect for me?
Greets,

I just tried these steps but could not get itunes to update the iphone from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 after unlocking it (had two different symptoms: unkonwn error 1602 -> due to iphone not booting into restore mode so update was possible)
I then downgraded (RESTORE) again from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 and installed oktoprep 1.1.1 running 1.0.2 (I had previously successfully unlocked the phone under 1.0.2). Then I UPGRADED directly from 1.0.2 -> 1.1.2 and used the jailbreak to get the phone working again.
Thanks!

Hi, all and Church,
I got similar problem as Church.
I just bought my iphone in US and realised that the my iphone was installed with latest v1.1.2. (Guess only since iTunes said my iphone is updated & and manufactured code is XXX44 from week 44.)
After following all the steps from downgrade to v1.1.1 and v1.0.2 and run anySIM 1.2u,
(1) can only dial the phone by using address book instead of dialing in the number pad. (The phone.app will jump out when press any button in the number pad)
(2) Also, can only sms by choosing the contact in address book. (will jump out if key in number directly)
(3) However, can’t receive any call. Interestingly, when phone call comes in, my iphone will hang up with the moving symbol (circulating circle icon)
Do you have any idea?
Church, did you solve your problem?
Would you all share your ideas? Pls help help.
I’m really frustrated for a week.

It pays to read the *whole* set of instructions before proceeding. I went ahead upgraded to 1.1.2 and then used wrong version of anySim at the wrong firmware level which resulted in a 5hr self imposed course of iPhone downgrades, cross grades, restores, new tools, googling and head scratching.
Perhaps a simple outline of the steps such as shown by bierchen at the beginning will help others see all the necessary steps first and then a listing of the detailed points.
Note: adding “modmyifone.com/installer.xml” to your Sources list makes it easier when trying to install the anySim1.2.u onto your phone.
