The recent release of the Pwnage Tool by the Dev Team has caused a lot of commotion in the iPhone community. Custom jailbroken and unlocked firmwares can be created using this tool and used directly from itunes. With such a nice feature it was only obvious that the new v2.0 Beta firmware would be leaked onto the internet and it definitely did.

Now how do we get the new firmware onto the iPhone? Currently this is a Mac only process with the windows tool releasing soon.

What do you need?

- Dev Team’s Pwnage Tool / WiFi Fix / Bootloader Files

- An iPhone / iTouch

- iPhone/iTouch Firmware 2.0 Restore files:

iPhone // iTouch // Both in one torrent

Here is what to do next:

After waiting a long while for the unlock scene to settle down and come up with decent all in one solutions we finally have a true proper Jailbreak, Activate and Unlock solution for iPhone v1.1.4

Following this guide will help anyone who has an iPhone (any version/type/bootloader). For phones that came pre-installed with firmware v1.1.2 and above have bootloader 4.6 and this guide will also help downgrade their bootloaders so that their phone is unlockable at v1.1.4

Note: For people with Bootloader 4.6, your bootloader IS being downgraded with this process BUT this is reversible (i.e. you can go back to Bootloader 4.6) unlike the popular ziphone method.

So you got a shiny new iPhone after hearing the news on the new grohot 4.6 unlock and soon after firing it up you realize that it is running 1.1.3 and that 1.1.3 has no “jailbreak only” solution that works straight on that version.

Now you are stuck with downgrading the firmware, but most methods out there either don’t work or don’t exist at all. Here are a few steps that will ensure you a proper downgrade:

1) Open up iTunes (I have tested this with v7.5) and let it detect your iPhone. One you see your iPhone in iTunes go to step 2.

2) Press and hold-down both the Power and Home buttons.

3) Release the Power button when you see the phone disconnects and disappears from iTunes. This takes place in about 10 seconds. The iPhone’s screen goes black. (Be careful at this step, you might have to do it several times to get the hang of it)

4) Release the Home button when you see the iPhone re-connects and re-appears in iTunes. Again this happens in about 10 seconds. The screen should still be black!!

5) Now you iTunes will give you a message saying it is in Recovery mode, click OK and then Shift-Restore. Navigate to your 1.1.1 ipsw and let the iPhone restore.

6) After restore you get error; just click OK. Now iTunes will again tell you that your phone is in recovery mode. Do a 111 restore again and after that you will get the same error 1015.

7) Open up iBrickr 0.91 and click the boot link. Your iPhone’s screen will go red and it will reboot soon after.

You will now see the v1.1.1 activation screen! The drill after this can be found here.

Enjoy!

iPhone SimFree (iPSF) was one of the first iPhone unlocking company that showed up with a software unlock for the iPhone. Ever since, their unlock method has been seen as superior to the popular (and free) anySIM method. Why so? Well anySIM unlocks do not last through iPhone software updates whereas iPSF unlocks have stood solid and are known to survive updates that come from apple.

Recently, popular iPhone hacker GeoHot released an unlock method that is a clone of the iPSF method. If you like the idea then follow the following guide and convert to his unlock.

Who can do this?

Anyone who has an iphone (bootblock 3.9) and running the latest 1.1.3 Firmware (including new baseband 4.03_13_g)
