iPhone 1.1.4 Upgrade, Downgrade, Activate, Jailbreak, Unlock Horror Story!
Once iNdependence v 1.4b5 was released with 1.1.4 support, I went ahead and updated the iPhone (16GB 1.1.3 OTB unlocked using iJailbreak)from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 via iTunes which gave me an error. I repeated the same and the update went fine and now I have version 1.1.4 installed on the iPhone.
I then fired iNdependence trying to jailbreak/activate my iPhone. I hit the Activate button and it didn’t respond in a timely fashion showing me the Jailbreak screen. I then hit the Jailbreak tab to Jailbreak the iPhone which gave me positive results. I now proceeded by clicking on the activate button and it sorta activated the iPhone but I saw no signal. It being unlocked previously in an IPSF manner using iJailbreak, I never realized that I had to use signal.app to get a signal on 1.1.4 . I took an extreme step and hit the unlock button at this stage which promptly alerted me saying I need not unlock the iPhone if I used IPSF – I ignored it! It gave an error message saying the unlock failed.
The horror story begins now – I see the famous – no WiFi, no Bluetooth, no IMEI, no modem firmware on the newly updated 16GB 1.1.4 iPhone.
It was a little scary at this time. I almost lost faith in my iPhone troubleshooting skills! I then tried something interesting – downgrade to 1.1.3 using iTunes. All I did is hold the ‘opt’ key and hit the restore button – browsed the 1.1.3 Restore firmware file and boom, the restore was underway! MAGIC!! I did not put the iPhone in DFU mode , it started downgrading to 1.1.3 and finally it finished with the downgrade!
I then used iJailbreak as usual and took a bold decision yet again – i.e to unlock and jailbreak the 1.1.3 iPhone and hey, it worked a charm this time around! Not to mention that WiFi, Bluetooth, IMEI back to where they belong!! The iPhone is wiped clean, the entire 14.6 GB is showing ‘Free’. It is working great now! I just restored to a 1.1.2 backup from iTunes. Yeah, weird tries but I am a happy man at the end of the day. I don’t have to fake to Apple saying my 20 day old 16GB iPhone died all of a sudden 😉
Verdict : Don’t use iNdependence and don’t upgrade to 1.1.4 yet. Trust me, you will save a ‘heart attack’ in the process!!
Well, the best i can offer is : iLiberty+ :: Download it from http://ilikemyiphone.com/wordpress/?page_id=173 Use the right version (Windows / Mac)…

Anyone knows how to downgrade the iphone firmware 1.1.4 to 1.1.3. It will be great if you can share the steps by steps guide as to how to downgrade it. I have a problem to download all package as I get an error in downloading packing with firmware 1.1.4. I believe, the only solution is to download the firmware. Am i right ? Please reply
ethan : I strongly recommend you to stick to 1.1.4 … Just restore to 1.1.4 and follow iLiberty+ for the best results cos’ 1.1.3 is old school now 🙂 1.1.4 poses no visible issues so far!
Kiran i’ve already unlocked my phone using Ziphone, should i restore and use iLiberty+? how will it affect it upgrading to 1.1.4?
zz : Well, the only issue with ZiPhone was BootLoder which is fixed by BootNeuter (http://ilikemyiphone.com/wordpress/?p=252) …
sorry i dont understand
Quick question that may of been answered above, I have a OTB 1.1.3 unlocked using ziPhone iPhone that I am using on Tmobile. To upgrade to 1.1.4, can I just restore using iTunes, then download ziPhone 2.5 and run it? If not, what it the easiest way to get 1.1.4 on it?
Thank you
