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!!

I would suggest you to restore the firmware to 1.1.1 and then try iBrickr 🙂
Then I would suggest upgrading to 1.1.1 with the method listed here (after virginizing though )!!
greg
dear admin, I appreciate and thank you for the prompt response…my phone is an original 1.0.2 and I have never tried to upgrade past that 1.0.2 since unlocking it. does that change anything? Isn’t there something I can do through I ohone interface to correct my anysim or get it to correctly boot?
admin
well, if you can’t get past the activation screen – I would suggest iDemocracy/iNdependence to make it boot. iphones can’t be bricked so easily, hence don’t fear to experiment. Again, restoring should not harm your iPhone but restore with 1.0.2.

Dude, how come you didn’t answer my comment? Is it alright to call you to ask just a couple of questions?
admin
@amart: issues with my Internet at the moment, commenting from my iphone. Will definitely discuss, I configured it to voicemail, you can ask me questions using that, I will return ur call 🙂
Don’t worry, be happy!

Question: Do I leave the default AT&T Sim Card in the system for this process or put in my T-mobile Sim Card? Do I do this before activation? How do I find out the Software Version?
admin
You can have your T-Mobile sim in your iPhone for this 🙂
For s/w version : when you hit prefs://1, you can see the sttings page -> General-> About !

Dear Admin,
I recently purchased an iPhone with firmware 1.1.2 already installed on it. I have been reading many articles and have been to many forums that are saying, unlocking an out-of-the box 1.1.2 iPhone is impossible because of the new bootloader. I would really like to unlock my iPhone so I can use it, and I am wondering if this is possible or not. If it is, is there any way you can walk me through it so that I can unlock. If it isn’t possible, what do you recommend? Should I return the iPhone and get a full refund or hang on to it. Thanks in advance.
admin
Well, so far – no unlock solution found for 1.1.2 yet 🙁 I suggest you wait few more days and then get a full refund (after waiting for 29 days!!). But, it should be out – jus a matter of time!
Manix
The thing is I really wanna have an iPhone. How likely do you think it is that there will in fact be a 1.1.2 OTB unlock method?
admin
Pretty likely very soon 🙂 If you can’t wait, I can sell mine!! I sold two via this blog!!
Manix
Well I already have one. It’s brand new, never been opened. So I think I’m ganna wait it out until some genius figures out how to hack the OTB 1.1.2. Then I can unlock mine and start using it 🙂
Thnx for your help though.
admin
You are always welcome!! The solution may be released tomorrow, u never know!!! True that anyone hates to see a non-functional iPhone in hand 🙁
amart55886
hey bro this is amart once again asking, you said that once i got my iphone you would help me unlock considering that it was 1.1.2 OTB, and there is someone here asking if it is possible and you tell him that it is not yet, I dont know what to do anymore. OH P.S. how much you selling your unlocked 1.1.1 unlock iPhone for?
kkiran
Well, I told that by the time u buy we shud be able to figure out a way to unlock it 🙂
You can get my pristine iPhone for the same price 🙂 And you get back $100 for every scratch!! Search for my previous ad on Craigslist (NJ) !! Box packed, accessories unopened !! I sold 2 this way 🙂
Manix
Hey dude I was speaking to a guy in a store near my school today, and he said that a 1.1.2 OTB can be unlocked and he has done it previously on 5 handsets. He said it takes around 4 hours to complete the process, but once its done it is fully functional with all features working and with capabilities of using any SIM card that you wish. I think I’m ganna go ahead and let him do it, and if I get mine unlocked I’ll share the wisdom.
kkiran
That had be great 🙂
Be careful with the hack though cos’ it ain’t documented on the web yet 🙂 Anyways, u have lil’ over 2 weeks to lay ur hands on a new iPhone right, so by that time 1.1.2 shud definitely be unlcoked :)!!
Manix
Yea I’ll probably play it safe and wait for the Dev Team. Hey admin, will you let us know when the Dev Team releases the unlock for 1.1.2 on this blog here? Cuz I check this on a daily basis now since I’m so anxious for the unlock!
admin
will definitely do 🙂 thanks for checking!! I wish I had a decent semester, lil too hectic!!
amart55886
Hey,
I read the significance of the serial number and it says that 1.1.1’s were released on week number 39 and on. You know the date 1.1.1 was released, or know when iPhone’s with 1.1.2 were released, or if you know the week number it was released as well, so that I may know which exact iPhone to get when I get it?
Manix
Hey Amart,
If you get a phone week 40 and under chances are you will have the old bootloader in which case you will be able to fully unlock the phone using anySIM. Anything above that and there is a possibility that you will have the new bootloader which is version 4.6. The phone I have is week 47 and it has the new one as well.
admin
@ Manix : Thanks for covering me 🙂
