1.1.2 OOB Downgrade/Activate/Jailbreak MADE EASY (For Newbies)
This Tutorial is for newbies like me.

when i got my iphone i was lost , i didnt know what to do because there are TONS AND TONS OF INFO out there and various methods.

So i have decided to write this tutorial so that the newcomers follow this step by step.

So let me give you a very clear tutorial.

First Of all you need to check the week of production of your Iphone
you can find this on the back of your iphone in the SERIAL Number
You will have somehting like this : 7V745xxxxxx
the 45 means it was produced on the 45th week
Iphones from week 45 and above have the new Bootloader version 4.6 with the 1.1.2 Firmware which is unlockable without a TurboSim

You can also check the Modem Firmware version of your Iphone by doing the following.

1- Turn on your iphone, you will get "Slide for Emergency Call"
2- Slide and you will get the phone keypad
3- type *3001#12345#* and press CALL
3- Press on VERSIONS

If you have the version 04.02.12_G you are sure to have the bootloader version 4.6 which in unlockable without a TurboSim

What you can do now is downgrade your firmware 1.1.2 to a firmware 1.1.1, by doing that you can use every aspect of your iphone except all the functions that need a SIM card

I will explain to you how to proceed step by step to downgrade, activate and finally jailbreak your iphone

For those who dont know what each work means ...

DOWNGRADE : go from firmware 1.1.2 to firmware 1.1.1
ACTIVATE: Bypass the AT&T activation to have access to all the functions in the iphone
JAILBREAK: gives you the ability to install 3rd party applications on the iphone.




STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD NECESSARY FILES

First Download the apple 1.1.1 firmware file
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite....a_Restore.ipsw

Second Download Ibrickr if you are using Windows or 1.1.2 jailbreak for Mac

Ibrickr : http://ibrickr.com/downloads/ibrickr_v0.91.zip

1.1.2 jailbreak : http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip




STEP 2 - DOWNGRADE FROM 1.1.2 TO 1.1.1

At this step if you dont have Itunes installed on your Computer please visit the apple website and download and install Itunes

- Next Plug your USB in your computer and in your iphone, Itunes will automatically open and give you an ACTIVATION page

-Now press the MENU BUTTON and THE POWER BUTTON at the same time and keep pressing them until Itunes tells you that it has detected that your Iphone is in recovery Mode, this could take something from 10 seconds to 30 seconds, so keep pressing both buttons until you get the message

- Once you get the message dismiss the warning message in Itunes (Itunes has detected .....) by pressing OK and now you have 2 options , the first is Search for Updates and the second, that we will use is RECOVER

BEFORE YOU PRESS ON THE RECOVER BUTTON YOU NEED TO PRESS YOUR SHIFT BUTTON IN WINDOWS (OPTIONS BUTTON IN MAC) AND THEN PRESS RECOVER

Now a "Browse your files" window will open, go and chose the firmware 1.1.1 file you have downloaded in step 1 and press open

now Itunes will start downgrading your iphone (this takes some time) and the downgrade process will end up with an error message 1013 or 1015 THIS IS VERY NORMAL

-Next if you are using Windows Open Ibrickr and chose the Option "Reboot my Iphone" to kick your Iphone out of the Recovery Mode

-ON MAC use iNdependence to kick the phone out of recovery mode http://independence.googlecode.com/

Now you iphone will restart and you will have an ACTIVATION PAGE on your iphone with the nice round WOrld image.




STEP3 - ACTIVATE AND JAILBREAK


Before you complete this part MAKE SURE that the AT&T Sim card is in your phone

Now, you are on the activation screen that says slide to make an emergency call, slide to get to the keypad and then do the following:


Dial *#307# and hit call

The iPhone will now start to ring itself, once it start to ring you have to erase *#307# by using the backslash button on your iphone and then type 0 and then CALL, the iphone will ring again and this time hit "Answer" then hit "Hold", the Phone will start to ring itself again, this time click "Decline".

Now on the screen you should be able to get to the contacts menu down the bottom, tap "Contacts" and then add a contact. Use the following instructions:


Add the Name "Testing" and tap save
Tap "Add URL" and type "prefs://1F" then tap save
Tap "Add URL" again and type "http://jailbreakme.com" then tap save

When this is done, tap "Save" again and it will take you to the contact page displaying the name "Test" and the two URLs you just added. Tap the "prefs://1F" URL and it will open the iPhone Settings page.

Tap "General" and Then "Auto-Lock", set it to "Never".

Go back to the settings page

From here, tap WiFi and Add your WiFi network and make sure you are connected to it

Now, hit the Menu button to go back to the Activation Screen, slide and dial the number 0, the iPhone will now ring itself again, tap answer, then hold, then decline just like before.

Now, hit contacts again and then Testing, this time go to the "http://jailbreakme.com" URL and scroll to the bottom and
click on "Install AppSnapp".

Safari will now close and your iPhone will now go back to the Activation Screen.

Once you get to the activation screen slide to get to the dial pad again and when you do this iPhone will restart by itself and thats it, your now Activated and JailBroken.

My friend gave me a UK iPhone which has done this but now AnySim won't let him use a Pay&Go O2 SIM card...is there any way? Or a work in progress?

I don't even mind it not being on 1.1.2
