iPlus – Unlock, Jailbreak, Activate 1.1.4 iPhone – Safer than Zibri’s!!

5 March 2008 155 Comments

Aviegas, a senior member at hackint0sh released ‘iPlus’ a much safer way to unlock your precious iPhone! The best part being the bootloader is now downgraded to 3.9 fakeblank BL which makes your iPhone brick-safe!! The best part being – it can now automatically install the all important applications :

– InstalleriphonePic.jpg
– Community Services
– BSD subsystem
– OpenSSH
– VT-100

Some Fixes:

– BSD Fix
– VT100 Fix
– Summerboard themes directory fix
– Relocates Fonts and Ringtones (More than 120MB free)

There is an option to upload packages to the iPhone during the unlock/jailbreak process in the name of Brazil and International payload.

Aviegas says “Brazil payload adds some extra stuff like Carrier Bundles, Translations, time zone fixes (Daylight saving time issues) and fixes the phone number formating.” rules.

“Downgrading is performed with a minimal system (the ramdisk) so it’s perfectly safe as no phone specific stuff is running, just Darwin (the underlying part of MacOS, a Unix derivative).

So it’s as safe as running in 1.0.2!!”

iPlus can be used only for 1.1.4 firmware though. Zibri denied using this fake bootloader approach only because this came right from iPhone Dev’s kitchen!!


Safest Unlock for iPhone – Using iPlus from Kiran Konathala on Vimeo.

So, what is this fakeblank boot loader (3.9) thing all about ?? This means your iPhone unlock is COMPLETELY reversible unlike Zibri’s. No offense to Zibri but this is a much safer bootloader rather than tinkering with the stock bootloader. Using this, iPhone functions perfectly with 1.1.4 slapped on a 4.04 baseband which is not the case when you use Zibri’s which sacrifices 4.04 baseband features.

What about iPhone users with 1.1.3 or older firmwares, RESTORE to 1.1.4 via iTunes and use iPlus.

Follow this guide from iClarified for a detailed step by step procedure (Windows only for now). I will do a Mac version once released and may be a video on a brand new 16GB iPhone 🙂

p.s : “Repair Needed” is a common error with iPlus. Restore to 1.1.4 and rerun iPlus to Rock and Roll!!

    Wow, i didn’t know that!
    So, i’m now with a downgraded BL, as i’ve used Ziphone (2.5) for upgrading my otb 112 iphone (braked and upgraded to 113, using ziphone 2.4).

    Is there anything i can do to get my 4.6BL back, or even the “faked” 4.6?

    Thanks.

    Yeah, search for SoLoR tools to get to fake BL 4.6 but why do you want to do that? You might want to get to 1.1.3 using 3.9 BL and 4.04 baseband..

    What if your iPhone has 3.9BL – does this modify that, or leave it untouched?
    Same thing for the Ziphone 2.5c – if it detects 3.9, does it do anything to it?

  • kiran said:

    ZiPhone is nt suggested, proceed with iPLus – I am not sure if iPlus is going to modify an already modified fake BL 3.9 , it doesn’t matter anyway, right? Use iPlus 🙂

    Well, once ZiPhone is used, I fear there is no more bootloader upgrade / downgrade unless you want to open up your iPhone and do it the hardware way…

    Hi all, unlocking my first iPhone. Ran into problem though. I already restored to 1.1.4 firmware. However when I try to a command prompt and run iplus -u it says that “iplus is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I am using windows xp. Any help is appreciated because I am stuck and can’t do iplus -u in command prompt. Thanks in advance for all the help 🙂

    Hi,

    Interested in using Iplus when I get my Iphone (sooon :). What I am wondering is can the Iplus be used on Leopard? I only as as the video on this page shows the Terminal in Leopard being used?

    Thanks.

    hey matrix before you type iplus -u into the command prompt you first have to type “cd desktop/iplus2.0” and hit enter

    so you type cd desktop/iplus2.0 (enter) and then
    iplus -u (enter)

    also make sure you unzip iplus to your desktop before all this
