Hi i hope that you can all help.

I am getting a second hand iphone tomorrow ad the bloke says that he had it unlocked ad updated by mistake and it locked it back up. (it also now needs reactivating)

He says that it needs "virginizing" to mak it work - i have been told that its on 1.1.2 or possibly 1.1.3 firmware.

Now do i have to virginize it first? if so how do i do it?

I have to unlock it also - i know how to do this with iplus and restoring to 1.1.4.

Please help me with the virginizing part of this.

PS - Its a american iphone and i dont have a at&t sim for it - does this matter.

Thanks for all ur help. 🙂
 
I would ask i it was unlocked in 1.0.2, if not, just restore it and run ZiPhone (or iPlus).
 
Just use iTunes to Restore to 1.1.4. Then either activate normally, or use ZiPhone to Jailbork and/or Unlock it.

thanks for the help guys - i'll just restore it to 1.1.4 and then iplus it

Thanks
