Yeah, you heard it right! The best guide ever, just buy an iPhone from AAPL or ATT and sit there in the store and unlock it – the simplest it can ever get! You need WiFi btb!!No Mac or PC required! Unlock the iPhone straight out of the box! Save the money from investing in Unlocking software and use it wisely 😉
1. Slide for Emergency calls, dial *#307# press call, now use the back button on the top of your screen to remove *#307# , now enter 0 , press call, press answer, press hold, press decline. Now you get to the contact list.
2. Push contacts and add a new contact and type in “prefs://11” as web-address and “http://jailbreakme.com” as an additional URL.
4. When you tap “prefs://11” you can now select your preferred WiFi gateway. I recommend an open WiFi network 🙂
5. Now press the home button and move the slider to the dial-pad. Repeat step 1 till you can access contacts.
6. Now you can go back to the contact list by Dialing 0, push call, then answer, then contacts, then hit the “http://jailbreakme.com” web address you typed in.
7. Scroll down to the bottom, click “Install AppSnapp”. Safari will exit and you’ll return to your springboard. Wait for the phone to reboot. Your phone is now jailbroken and Installer.app is ready to be explored 😉 (If it refuses to install, try installing it till you see the downloading thingy on the screen! It took more than 6 attempts on one of my friend’s iPhone!)
Well, at this stage, your iPhone should be activated partially – Cingular should work just fine! All the other networks should do a little tweaking to use your iPhone as a phone!
Unlock your iPhone :
Launch Installer.app and then click on “Sources” – > “Edit” – > “Add” – > Type i.unlock.no after http:// – > “Ok” -> Now anySIM 1.1.1 should show under “Unlocking Tools” – > Click on it and install it! You can now see anySIM icon on the Homescreen. Click on it and follow the instructions! Vodafone, T-mobile, 3 and what not, everyone can join the bandwagon now!!

When you unlock it, of course Tmobile is enabled but can I use youtube, wifi, ipod, gmaps, weather, and stocks?

I used this method to unlock my new iphone with version 1.1.1 and modem firmware 04.01.13_G and then I put in my Tmobile sim and it worked fine. Then, I plugged it into itunes 7.3 and accidentally updated my phone to version 1.1.2 and 04.02.13_G and my Tmobile sim card no longer work. Can I undo or downgrade it to the original, or, then what? Thanx for your help.

ok i fck up and upgraded to ver1.1.2 and got relocked. sht hwo do i unlock in ver 1.1.2 i have tried going to reinstall 1.1.1 but keep gettting error 1015 so it well not let me get back to original version..is there an easy methodon a windows platform…

@ amart : If you unlocked it – all the features are unlocked too!! Regarding Mexico’s Telcel – if it is GSM, technically speaking – iPhone works with any GSM carrier 🙂 It is quad band!!
@ scott : Well, did the browser crash or the site doesn’t show up? More details will lead to a solution for sure!! WiFi should be working btb!!
@ Rafa : Well, I am surprised if iPhone doesn’t work with GSM carriers since it is quad band.
@ Ebro : Well, error 1015 is quite common, after which you should launch Independence 1.2.5 (mac). Since you are on Windows : I suggest iDemocracy (code.google.com/p/idemocracy/).
Have fun guys!! Lemme know if you have any issues!
admin
@ Jamesen : Yep, you can downgrade to 1.1.1 – then virginize using 1.1.1 unlocking tools in installer.app and then proceed with 1.1.2 🙂 Lemme know if you r on mac/windows : things on mac are so easy!! Refer to my post on 1.1.2 activation unlock for details on 1.1.2 🙂

Hello ADMIN,
this is amart again, I thank you very much for your response. The reason I asked my previous question, was because I saw the video on YOUTUBE, using this style of method, but not stating whether he used this page as the main source, he just did it on the video. He successfully unlocked it, it is just that when he demonstrated it and he clicked on YouTube, and he said, “I haven’t fixed YouTube yet.” That is what had me questioning your method. That is why I wondered if all features were enabled as well. One more question though, do you know if we are able to use gmaps at all?
Thanks again for the previous response, and the response for this question in advance,

I guarantee 100% that this works just fine with all the features!! Trust me, activating and unlocking has never been easier!! I unlocked so many brand new 1.1.1s with this method, its fun!!
amart55886
Sorry for the bother once again, this should be the last question as well, and I thank you for your patience, If I buy an iPhone today, I am hearing rumors that they have 1.1.2, out of the box. How do I do this, can I just downgrade it to 1.1.1 and go from there? I read up above that you have to virginize it. How do I do that?
admin
well, we can downgrade it for sure but I suggest you wait before a concrete solution is found for the downgrade cos the baseband firmware might be different.
Virginize is to unpatch the unlocked firmware, you need to use it only if you unlock and then update to 1.1.2. It us present in installer.app 🙂
amart55886
What do you suggest I do then Admin? Considering the fact that the iPhone I decide to purchase this December will have 1.1.2, you consider that I wait, or can I downgrade it to 1.1.1, then do the method stated in this page? I DO NOT understand when you said, “I suggest you wait before a concrete solution is found for the downgrade cos the baseband firmware might be different.”
admin
well, I researched and found that downgrade is possible. I am assuming that you are buying it in the USA. Trust me and buy the phone and contact me, we will take care of it!!

Hey you have any form of msn messenger? If so, add me im amart55886@hotmail.com, if not, just email me so we can keep it more private, if none of the above, we can do it here i guess, but it would take a lot of pages just in case. Yes my iPhone will be purchased this December in the U.S.A….would you walk me through it, or what would you do to “take care of it”?
admin
yeah, jus comment here once you buy your iPhone!! I am good at checking comments on my blog and we can definitely take care of it!! Will mail you just in case 🙂 I am a mac person hence no much of msn messenger !!
Kiran!
amart55886
Ok Admin! Sure will! As soon as I get it December 13th I’ll post another comment here, but I will still remain on this site, checking for comments of questions and facts. Well, anyway, you are positively 100% that when I buy the 1.1.2 iPhone, you will be able to help me step-by-step, and we will be able to do unlock it 100%, with all features?
amart55886
Oh and one more thing, is it O.K. if I call you I tried calling you but your answering machine came up right away, my assumption is that your phone is off. Is it O.K. that I call you, or is it during a particular time and hours that I have to call, you know, like, hours of operation?
