Jailbreak/Activate/Unlock Virgin iPhones v1.1.1

By now you have probably heard a lot of bells and whistles about the iPhone, but Apple’s latest firmware proved to be a menace for open sim loving users. Here is a guide I put together at hackint0sh which will guide you through the entire process:

Use this ONLY if you have a BRAND NEW iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 NOTHING ELSE!

Text in red means you use WinSCP for that step, text in blue means you use Putty

I have made one zip file containing all the downloads that this guide tells you to get, so instead of individual links here is a zip archive of all the files/installers needed for this guide : http://d.turboupload.com/d/2098918/unlock111.zip.html
—————————

First we need to get to safari:

1. Slide to reach the emergency dial screen

2. enter *#307# and then press call

3. Your phone will ring itself, press answer

4. Press hold now and your phone will start ringing again

5. Press Dismiss and your phone will go into the contacts/dial screen

6. Press contacts from the bottom bar and add a contact (Give it any name and a random URL, www.google.com is a good choice)

7. Now save your contact and then click on the URL, safari will open and say it cannot load the site. press ok

8. This is the crucial part Now press the home button and be ready to really quicky select your wifi network. As soon as you press the home button a small box will come up asking for a network. Choose your network (has to be open network) and if you did it right you will see a wifi signal on top of the iphone.

8a. Leave your phone like that now for a minute or two. Then shut down your iphone and restart.

8b. After the iPhone restarts it should have the Wifi icon showing at the top…if it does not do steps 1 - 8 again. (This is normal, took me 5 tries to get the Wifi)

9. Once the wifi is working, do steps 1 - 5 again.

9a. For the next step add another contact give it another name and this time add the address as >> http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com/

10. Save the contact and then go to the 2nd url you just saved. Safari will load the page and then close automatically to the home screen (the screen that says activate iphone).

Alternate way to choose wifi step above: (RECOMMENDED)

Kudos to idutch for the tip!!

1. Slide to reach the emergency dial screen

2. enter *#307# and then press call

3. Your phone will ring itself, press answer

4. Press hold now and your phone will start ringing again

5. Press Dismiss and your phone will go into the contacts/dial screen

6. Press contacts from the bottom bar and add a contact

7. Add a contact with a random name and homepage as >> prefs://1F

8. Save it and click on the contact’s homepage. this will take you straight into the setting menu of the iPhone, and you can take all the time to select a WIFI network!

—————————————

Once thats done continue :

- Get TouchFree (it works on iPhone too) http://www.slovix.com/touchfree/touchfree-setup.exe (Get/Install .Net Framework 3.0 before you move on)

// If you are having trouble with touch free (like it gets stuck at step 2 and stuff, uninstall the old version and use this one : http://www.slovix.com/touchfree/touchfree-alpha.exe)

- Follow the steps on TouchFree (You have to shut down the iPhone 2 times during this process, it will tell you to do it even after the 2nd time you have done it but ignore that and close the program!)
- After touchfree finishes you should restart your iphone and get to the springboard
- Set auto-lock on your phone as “never” (on your iphone: Settings > General > Auto-Lock > Never)
- Now get WinSCP (http://winscp.net/download/winscp404setup.exe)

You can find your iphone ip by going to (on your iphone) settings > Wi-Fi > “Your selected WiFi” > Look under IP Address
- Connect to your iPhone using WinSCP (user: root password: alpine)

Just press login after your screen on WinScp is like this ^

- Get AnySIM 1.1 (http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/anySIM-1.1.zip)
- Upload AnySIM 1.1 to the /Applications folder (Make sure both the folder anySim.app and the file inside that folder named anysim are chomodded to 0755)

The applications folder is found in here :

Make sure the directory anySim.app and the FILE named “anysim” inside the directory are chmodded to 0755!!

- Download this file http://rapid$hare.com/files/63229501/killall.html (change the $ sign for an S in the url)
- Upload it to your /usr/bin folder (on the iphone)
- Set permissions to 0655 (if you get problems later, try setting them to 0755)
- Run Installer from your springboard
- Install BSD Subsystem from Installer
- Restart your phone
- Run anySIM 1.1 (MAKE sure your new simcard in inserted) (IF ANYSIM CRASHES, CHMOD the ANYSIM FILES AS STATED ABOVE)
- Restart your phone again
- Get this file: http://rapid$hare.com/files/63231299…ownds.zip.html (change the $ sign for an S in the url)
- Upload the three files to your /usr/libexec folder on your iphone
- Set permissions to 0755 to the three files
- Rename the file called lockdownd on your /usr/libexec folder to lockdownd.back
- Rename the file lockdownd.1.0.2 to lockdownd
- Download iAsign (http://rapid$hare.com/files/64056361/iasign.zip CHANGE THE $ TO S IN THE LINK)
- There is a file called iphoneactivation.pem under the /iAsign/bin/ folder of the zip you just downloaded
- Uploaded to your iphone, to the folder /System/Library/Lockdown
- Get Putty from here http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/…/x86/putty.exe
- Connect to your iPhone using putty (user: root password: alpine)
- Run this command without the quotes “killall lockdownd”
- Extract the iasign folder to your C:/ Drive (That folder can be found in this file >> http://d.turboupload.com/d/2098918/unlock111.zip.html)
- Open a command line in your pc (Start menu > Run > cmd)
- Navigate to the folder where you have iasign.exe (This means you need to point the command prompt to the iasign folder):

- Now run this command from the command line “iasign –automatic iPhoneActivation_private.pem”
- Your iphone should popup a message telling you that it is Activated
- Now rename lockdownd to lockdownd.1.0.2 using WinSCP (This is in /usr/libexec)
- Now rename lockdownd.swap to lockdownd using WinSCP (This is in /usr/libexec)
- Run this command without the quotes “killall lockdownd” on putty
- Restart your phone
- And it should be unlocked by now
- Want YouTube activated? Look below.
- You are all set now

ALTERNATE YouTube Activation method :

Just upload youtube certificate files (data_ark.plist, device_private_key.pem and device_public_key.pem) to /var/root/Library/Lockdown/

You can find the files here

All that step is saying is that you need to upload the iphoneactivation.pem file to your iPhone using WinSCP and that file is found in the iasign folder.

Done with everything said here. The phone work with T-mobile but not with other asian sim card (It said SIM locked). Oh, and I didn’t see the part:
Now run this command from the command line “iasign –automatic iPhoneActivation_private.pem”
- Your iphone should popup a message telling you that it is Activated

Am I missing something here? Since the phone work with T-Mobile, I suppose the phone has been unlock.

I forgot to mention that I run anySIM with my AT&T sim on it not with the asian sim or T-mobile. Does it hurt to try restore the phone and follow these step again with the other sim? I suppose the phone baseband has been modified so I’m a bit worry to redo these steps when it already said the phone should be in virgin.

Thanks
