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 :
– Installer
– Community Services
– BSD subsystem
– OpenSSH
– VT-100Some 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!!

i still get “cannot connect to youtube” i have tried un-installed the activator and i re-installed it restarted my phone still get the same message…hmmm, im lost is there somehting else i should be downloading? or maybe restore and reinstall?
kiran
Well, we can try starting afresh. Make sure you have the latest versions of iLiberty+ , iTunes and you must be using 1.1.4…
Restore to 1.1.4 and use iLiberty+ and then connect to iTunes to Sync and thn try YouTube… Hopefully it will work…
Rob
ok, ill let you know, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

kiran
Your best bet would be to restore to 1.1.4 and then use iLiberty+ and reflash WiFi + Baseband (u see it in iLiberty+) … and then unlock 🙂
Kiran
perfect! AlwAys take a backup and restore fresh to a clean state…..

Great thread!
When I “Restore to 1.1.4” in iTunes, do I backup/restore my data or do I have to start clean? (YouTube fixes have never worked for me post-Zibri.)
RestoreQuestioner
Followup: iLiberty suggested “new” setup, which I did, and YouTube works.

@shariq: Applecare will not help you if you have jailbroken your iPhone already as they do not support someone altering their firmware. Best bet, restore to 1.1.4 and then use Liberty+ to jailbreak and activate. I had same problems with WIFI and BlueTooth from Zibri’s versions so i switched to this method and it worked perfectly, and all wifi, bluetooth, etc. works flawlessly the 1st time. read instructions, it’s very easy to do if you can click a mouse and type a few lines

Hi i am intested in getting an iphone and unlocking it to t-mobile but i have heard everytime apple release an update it will lock it back to o2 is this true?
thanks
kiran
odogg : Nope, it ain’t completely true! Get an iPhone, unlock it using instructions provided on this site, and wait for approval to upgrade to Apple’s new upgrades and thats it 🙂

Hi Kiran,
Pardon my igorance and obviously dumb question to ask. I have 1.1.1 that was downgraded to 1.0.2, re-virginised and upgraded to 1.1.4 using iTune, jailbroken and activated using ZiPhone v2.5c. Here comes the dumb questions:
1. Is my BB damaged in anyway?
2. How can I check my BB?
3. How do we know what ‘damage’ has ZiPhone done? Symptoms and signs that we can check?
4. What do I need to do if I wish to re-jailbreak, re-activate my iPhone that is already jailbroken and activated by ZiPhone? Anything like re-virginise or repair work?
thanks!
Kiran
Nope, your baseband is not damaged. All you have to do is restore to 1.1.4 which should take care of baseband and stuff. ZiPhone effects are now reversible. Restore to 1.1.4 and use iLibery+ and you are all set!

Hi Kiran,
I’ve just bought an already pre-locked apple iphone version 1.1.4
I’m trying to sync my music and contacts. Can’t do either. Is there a way to do these online?
Also, my current version of iTunes is not syncing my music. If I download the new version 7.6 will this lock my iphone again?
Thanks, Bisi
kiran
Well, I feel that you have not enabled music and contact syncing in iTunes. Check the different tabs to enable it.
You can only sync contacts online using funambol.com
Update to iTunes 7.6, it won’t lock your iPhone…
Bisi M
Thanks for the fast reply Kiran!, Just downloaded iTunes 7.6 and can’t get access to YouTube, Maps, Safari etc. I’m thinking maybe I haven’t done some kind of setup which I’m meant to do. Could you please help me out with this?
Kiran
I would suggest you to restore your iPhone to 1.1.4 (I have covered it in one of my posts) and then try syncing, everything should work just fine!

Hey Kirian!
Heres the thing: I got an iPhone 1.1.4 this morning from the U.S… I live in Norway, and i have a norwegian simcard that i want to use in my iPhone.
1. Will this work?
2. This is gonna be a bitch; I am a noob at this, so i wanted to ask for a noobguide to how i can jailbreak, and do all this things on the video.. sorry =)
3. I dont fully understand what all these things (bootloader, jailbreak) means, so what do i need to do to use my iphone and be able to download the apps?
I know I am making ur life miserable right now, kirian, but u seem like a guy that helps every people, so I thought why not? 🙂
Thanks for any help!
Kiran
hey!
1. It will work!
2. I only make noob’s guides! Let me know if you have a windows or a mac environment. Working today so pl don’t expect super support since I reply from my iPhone!!
3. All you have to do is restore to 1.1.4 to make sure you have a clean OS to begin with.
then use iLiberty+ for unlock/ installer and all! It takes less than 4 minutes trust me! Download the application from downloads section on this site 🙂
iPhonelover
Thanks a lot 🙂
I am really afraid of my iPhone… dont want it to be screwed the first week i got it. I have a Windows XP and a Windows Vista… 1 and 2 was good answers 🙂 but I didnt get nr 3 perfectly… what does restore mean? and how do i do it? i have a clean 1.1.4… i have not done anything with it… should i just do the things that is said on the video?? in the video, it sais that they are using iPlus, but is that the same as iLiberty??
Kiran
Well you can trust me!!
You need not restore if its new… iLiberty+ is an enhanced version of iPlus…
Just use the software and hit unlock and installer buttons, you are good to go!

Fazlee

kiran
Fazlee : Firstly, restore your iPhone to 1.1.4 and then use iLiberty+ to unlock it. I am sure you should have no issues at all. USe latest iTunes and latest iLiberty+ and 1.1.4 …. trust me it will work! Will using iLiberty+ it will give an option to downgrade the bootloader to 3.9 fake BL, you can use that!
