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!!

@ Asieck : When it freezes, just let it do its work and leave the iPhone alone for some time. On WiFi, it should respond at a faster rate though. Try again and click on AppSnap and let it do its work..

Kiran..it finally took some time but i believe i downgrade the firmware to 1.0.2 and i got to an activation screen, and i did the following steps mentioned above(prefs:, jailbreak me) and when i get to the app installer i pull up app snapp,and then when i click on it it just jumps back to the activation screen, what do i need to do? i noticed that the app snapp installer says in the begining for firmware 1.1.1, do i need to find one for 1.0.2?, i’ve been really trying to figure this out, if you could help me i would be very grate, thanks mucho….:)
vallday
what is bricking your phone?, and what is OTB, and are there differnt jailbreaks for different firmwares? i cant get passed the jailbreak me. when i connect on wifi, i hit jailbreak me and then app.snapp installer comes up but when i click on app.snapp it jumps bakc to the activation screen,,can somebody help me, on what to do next.?
vallday
another question,, i downgraded to 1.0.2, the next step was to use ibrickr and when i use it i go through the prompts and i get to a point that it just resets and command lines look like they download and then it cuts of and on and repaets the same thing, i got it to reset, but im wondering is this the next step. i read that this is what happens when you try and downgrade from 1.1.3 to 1.0.2 and there is no getting passed that activation screen once you doengrade to 1.0.2, is that true,, will i be able to get pass the activation screen and use my t-mobile sim card? need halp,, this is like my 5 day tryin gto gt passed this, help please. anybody//////////thankyou
kiran
@ Vallday : Sorry for the delay in response. I know how it feels to have an iPhone dat doesn’t work much like we expect 🙁
Firstly, 1.0.2 has no Jailbreakme kinda jailbreak. 1.0.2 is passe and you have to downgrade to 1.1.1 nowadays to do anything, not 1.0.2. You have to upgrade to 1.1.1 and then follow my post here. Hope it resolves all your issues 🙂
vallday
@ kiran, ok so i have to get 1.1.1 firmware? once i do that i should get the cable and the i tunes screen i’m assuming that means connect to itunes? where is a place where i can get efficent instructions to hack my iphone so i can use my t-mobile sim card?..i dont have a att sim. do i need to have one in order to hack first? is it possible to use my t-mobile sim ?..i really thank you for the help it mush appreciated and if i could repay you i would..thank you very much Kiran..please help me… 🙂

HEEEELLLLPPPPP MEEEEE!! I have a Verson 04.03.13_G iphone….I’ve installed the Firmware 1.1.1, but when I try to jailbreak it (using *#301# and 0 or *#307# and 1) I can’t get to the “normal dialer” menu so I can select contacts. It just puts me back at the “slide for Emergency” menu…..HELP PLEASE!!
KK
Help me!! I downgraded my Version 04.03.13_G iphone to the 1.1.1 firmware and am trying to “jailbreak” (using the *#301# and 0, also the *#307# and 1). After countless attempts, I am redirected to the “slide for emergency call” screen. I never make it to the “contact” or “normal dialer” screen as mentioned above!! The only thing I can think of is that the firmware 1.1.1 didn’t install correctly. PLEASE HELP ME!!
kiran
Hey. Please follow this post to get out of trouble on any version of the iPhone : http://ilikemyiphone.com/wordpress/?p=164 Upgrade to any version of your choice and run iJailbreak as detailed in the other post!

hi,
i’m from canada and i purchased an unlocked iphone a few months ago. i enjoyed it for a while cause i can download any 3rd party apps through the program installed with it when i first purchased it. however, i downloaded an app that moved my 3rd party apps installer to the bottom of the screen. now i cant install any apps. can u help me with this problem? should i follow the steps above to install this diff app or should i do something else?
i have a version 1.0.2 and a modem firmware 03.14.08_G. hope u can help me with this. thanks a lot and more power!
kiran
@ Sai : Please do check my latest posts on much better methods (efficient and easier). I would recommend to 1.1.2 (atleast) and then jailbreak using ZiPhoneGUI or iJailbreak…
kiran
@ terrance : you might want to use iNdependence or iBrickr to boot it out frm that screen but follow comment # 139 for an easier process..
Saisai
kiran,
so u mean i should update to 1.1.2 then use ZiPhoneGUI or ijailbreak? im not really sure what to do. im really new to this and im quite afraid that i will brick my iphone or face problems like the people above. i hope this is not too much but can i ask u to provide me with some links that i can click to so that i can have a clear sense of what to do? i’ve been to this site for 3 hours already and i cant seem to find the right advice. thanks a lot for ur help!
kiran
Please check my latest posts, trust me it works. I have been doing this for months now!! Upgrade it to 1.1.2 and use ZiPhoneGUI to Jailbreak and Unlock – U get everything u ever wanted from an iPhone!
Saisai
when i try to upgrade to 1.1.2 though, itunes only allows me to upgrade to their latest firmware which is 1.1.3. I’m not sure where to get it, but i am very willing to upgrade.
thanks for the reply!
kiran
Sai : You have to hold the shift (Windows) / Option (Mac) keys and select the firmware file to upgrade! It is easy, just download the firmware file and update 🙂
tony
where do we enter prefs
and it won’t work
explain in more detail
kiran
You have to enter prefs:// in new contact’s URL. But this method is passe’, you might want to follow my latest post @ http://iLikeMyiPhone.com for a far more easier solution.

Hi! You can use ZiPhone to put installer.app on your iPhone. ApolloIM solves your AIM needs, not sure about MSN though!
Follow my ZiPhone posts depending on your firmware version!
Cheers
