1.1.4, INdependence, iphone, unlock »

[28 Feb 2008 | 2 Comments | ]

Read my horror story with iNdependence on a 1.1.4 updated 16GB iPhone. Don’t use it and don’t upgrade to 1.1.4 yet. 
iNdependence released an Activation / Sim Unlock solution for iPhone 1.1.4 firmware! That was fast, though 1.1.4 got not-so-interesting updates ( a probable SDK support maybe ). This version uses gunlock sim unlocking solution from Geohot 🙂 They claim this tool to be a much more efficient solution compared to Zibri’s offerings.

Download iNDependence v1.4b5 for your Macs!
– iTunes 7.6.1 Support
– Added SIM unlocking on firmware 1.1.4 (using gunlock)
– Changed …

UPDATE : Download ZiPhone Latest Release for Windows. A Mac version of the same can be had here.
ZiPhone GUI is built by i.unlock.no which is based on GeoHot’s unlock script which was generalized by Zibri 🙂 ZiPhoneGUI is for Windows users while Mac users have a better application in the form of iJailbreak. Talk about hackers/developers but yeah – they are the best! iPhone Devs have been keeping mum so far but hey, this method works the best!
Unlock option works with only 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OTB iPhones and that makes …

This is by far the best, most efficient unlock EVER! Buy a phone from an Apple store, download iJailbreak on any Mac in the Apple store and unlock it then and there!! It can never get better and easier! I tried this unlock on different bootloaders and basebands ( 4.6 BL. 3.9 BL, 04_01_13G, 04_02_13G and 04_03_13G basebands).

The best thing being – it brought a no-wifi, no-radio DEAD bricked iPhone to back in life in about 2.5 minutes!! I spent 10 hours on the dead iPhone with no success until …

Update : A much faster easier solution for Mac users can be found here. Windows users may resort to ZiPhoneGUI.
I am back after spending 4 hours on the entire process (which includes some hits and misses! Which means, you no longer have to figure out the right steps/combinations!!). Now the process is trimmed down to much lesser time and the best part being : No command line hackery!
All you need is an iPhone (OTB 1.1.2/1.1.3 BL 4.6), Mac (preferable) / Windows, Firmware files (1.1.2, 1.1.3 ipsws), courage to try this …

UPDATE : No more tweaking with sec packs and command line hackery! A sit-back-relax- and-let-it-do-its-magic guide is released 🙂 It is so easy a 6th grader can do it!! Unlock iPhone 16GB /1.1.3 OTB/ 1.1.2 OTB 🙂
What took iPhone Devs months took GeoHot hours to find a true Unlock! It is not based on JerrySim baseband downgrade method but a lot more straightforward!! GeoHot hints that this can be applied to 1.1.3 OTB iPhones too, so hold your breath! Come Sunday and everyone can flash their iPhones with …

Well, now that 1.1.2 is released for quite some time now – why is the world not abuzz about upgrading to it? Mostly because – there is no reason to! Some say 1.1.2 sports better battery life while others say the iPhone performs faster (did it ever under perform?)!! For whatever reason, if you want to upgrade to the latest and still enjoy all the features (including unlock!!).Activating an iPhone 1.1.2 without iTunes is really a big deal because INdependence doesn’t support 1.1.2 yet and iDemocracy wasted some valuable …

It cannot get any easier. All we need is activating the iPhone using INdependence for Mac or iDemocracy for Windows and then proceed towards hacking and unlocking the iPhone!!
Once you activate your iPhone using INdependence, proceed to Online Jailbreak/Installer.app. We did not unlock the iPhone yet. Now, type in the following URL in your Mobile Safari http://iphone.blurgle.ca/repo. There you go. You have activated, hacked and unlocked your iPhone with the fewest hassles ever 😉 Now stop spending $5o on unlockers and donate few dollars to the iPhone dev team …

Watch this space out! This time, it is from the hackers themselves – iPhone Dev team is about to release a fully functional free unlock for the mighty firmware 1.1.1 It took some time but hey, it is a stable OS and they are able to do it in style – security thrashed and everything decrypted. An automated tool for the average Joe is also in the making. Stay tuned!!
Finally, anySIM 1.1 is released but works only with those iPhones which were never unlocked (untampered baseband). If you haveused …

The entire world is ecstatic about the iPhone and iPhone Dev team announced the official hack (jailbreak) for the much coveted iPhone f/w 1.1.1 by a simple TIFF exploit, thanks Niacin. No more hunting for batch pre-38 week iPhones. The best part being – we can finally order an iPhone directly from Apple without fearing if it would work and hey, you can apply your iPhone store credit if any 🙂
Why do you even have to upgrade to 1.1.1 when 1.0.2 is working just fine?? Forgot the sound enhancement, iPhone …
