Success!!! At long, long last I finall jailbroke my 1.1.2 otb!
Heres what I did for those of you who having problems installing appsnapp:
Restored to v1.1.1

Ran ibrickr

Turned off iPhone & put in my regular Meteor sim.

Opened iTunes, which gives you error message like "not proper sim"

With iTunes open connect to jailbreakme.com & installed appsnapp & Bingo!

I tried this before but for some reason it worked last night.
For those of you without a wireless network at home, you can turn your regular laptop/PC into a wireless network for your iPhone relatively easily, using an O2/3/Vodafone wireless broadband (what I used) or just about any internet connection.

Only problem is now when I run iTunes it tellls me I've only got 300MB space total!!
I see this is a common problem, but it seems you need to restore to fix it. After the hassle I had jailbreaking the first time I'm a bit reluctant to do this....

Does anyone know a way to fix the 300MB problem without restoring?

there is a fix for it under tweaks in the installer, no need to restore

From Hackint0sh

Download the files from here

http://rapidshare.com/files/90091424/gunlock.rar

And these are the instructions

1. Install OpenSSH and Term-vt100 on your iPhone
2. Connect via WiFi to your iPhone using WinSCP
3. Copy all the files (gunlock, ICE04.02.13_G.fls and secpac) to /usr/bin
4. Set permissions of gunlock to 755 in WinSCP
5. Put iPhone in Airplane mode (IMPORTANT!)
6. Execute the following commands in Terminal:

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

gunlock secpack ICE04.02.13_G.fls

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

7. Restart iPhone and throw your ***sim out of the window

Kick ass.

Good linkage.

Hopefully that's still working when I pick up an iPhone in NY next week.

Even Apple are not that fast

Bruce Fan · 08-02-2008 10:00AM

Can anyone confirm that this definitely works?
The official blog says to downgrade to 1.0.2
Is this a must?

Tibor - My house mate brought me back an iPhone from the Apple shop on 5th Avenue NY last week and it was v1.1.2 firmware (not even 1.1.3) so you should be ok!

It is confirmed from various reputable websites

I don't have a 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 otb to test it on but I will experiment on yours if you like

jester77 · 08-02-2008 10:13AM

Excellent news, will be a lot of happy iphoners this weekend

Geohot said that this is a "true unlock". What exactly does he mean here. I know with AnySIM it's only good for the current version of the firmware and if you do an upgrade then you are locked again. Does this mean that we can keep upgrading our phones to the latest firmware and we will still be unlocked? I guess that you would still have to jailbreak to get access to installing software and stuff but could you still make calls if you upgrade?

bobbysands81 · 08-02-2008 10:15AM

Hi all,

I recently changed from "bill pay" to "pay as you go" on the Vodafone network but I can no longer get on the internet. Do I need to change the settings as I am no longer able to get onto the net through my iPhone.

The message I'm getting up is "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server." Does anyone know what I need to do? Can someone post the correct settings that I need to enter into the iPhone?

Many thanks.

I presume he means that it is like the IPSF unlock and is resistant to updates

According to posts on hackint0sh its not a must to downgrade to 1.0.2.
You can turn on airplane mode and type the commands into vTerminal on the iPhone, no need for wifi.

davkav · 08-02-2008 10:47AM

Anyone know f a way to view the (and edit of course) the iphones root directory without wireless i.e. via the usb?

lkman · 08-02-2008 10:52AM

Great news about the SW unlock.. guess we can say bye bye to those sim errors I'v seen reported recently.

dlane99, do you have the link to the hackint0sh discussion on this, i'd like to follow (don't use hackint0sh much).

So does this mean that ppl can also legitimately upgrade to 1.1.3 and SW unlock / jailbreak?

Happy days!

I've used iPhoneBrowser to transfer files to the iphone by usb.
I dont know if you can use it to chmod files, you can do that in terminal or prob squid.

The site is crawling tho. its slow at the best of times. they need a new hosting provider.

chrislad · 08-02-2008 11:01AM

Does this work for 1.1.1 OTB phones that have been upgraded to 1.1.3? I assume it would.

No this is for 4.6BL phones a 1.1.1 otb would be a 3.9BL there is an anysim 1.3 released by zibri for 3.9BL and Geohotz has a IPSF style unlocker for 3.9BL phones

Did you unlock with anySim before you upgraded to 1.1.3?
did you update by iTunes or the devteam soft update?

chrislad · 08-02-2008 12:27PM

It's running 1.1.3 on the devteam update, but I'd guess that 1.1.3 better when installed through iTunes.

dlane99 · 08-02-2008 12:29PM

so your phone is already unlocked?
my mistake, i thought you were asking if you could use the new 1.1.2otb unlock.

Thanks!

i was about to say "i think 20e isnt that bad..."
and when i went to the add i saw the price was 420e!

it was 40 but i droped it to 20, hence the mix up.

that was funny.

Can someone post a link to quality detailed step by step instructions for this new unlock that bypasses the xSIM for us numpties.

NickyOD · 08-02-2008 01:51PM

I'm trying the instructions from George Hotz's blog now.

In Step 3, what does he mean when he says "Kill CommCenter"?

*****************************************
geohot's 1.1.2 software unlock
yes, this is what you have all been waiting for
now fixed to support 1.1.3

1. Download these:
gunlock and the secpack from http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/ or the blog

the 4.02.13 fls from http://george.zjlotto.com/index.php/baseband/

2. Downgrade your phone to 1.0.2. See all the great tutorials online to do this.
Your baseband won't be downgraded, this is normal.
This will probably work on other versions too, but 1.0.2 doesn't lose wifi on bb access.

3. Kill CommCenter and run "gunlock secpack ICE04.02.13_G.fls"

4. Reload CommCenter. For some reason my phone was in brick mode. Use the elite team bricktool to get out.

5. Enjoy your 1.1.2 OTB unlocked iPhone

Now who'd have thought it'd be this easy

This release is no thanks to elite/dev
I wish they would share like the old days.
I don't believe everyone in the team is like this, but come on guys.

there isnt a good guide yet.
the hackint0sh links above contain posts about what people are trying and whether or not it is working for them.

I'd wait a day or two and there will prob be an app on installer or a guide w screenshots that will make it easy.

There is a beta app on installer at the moment that is suposed to have packaged up geohots unlock but noone has said if they have tried it yet.

some people are reporting that they are getting some bus error, i dont know if this is a bug in the unlocker or if those people are doing something wrong.

this is from a post in hackint0sh, probably the commands you are looking for:

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

gunlock secpack ICE04.02.13_G.fls

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

Just found those in the blog comments.

Ehmmm. I still don't know what this means. where and how do I run these commands?

if you are on 1.1.2 you have to run them in terminal on the iphone,
if you are on 1.0.2 you can connect to the iphone terminal from your mac/pc.
