- Download the Jailbreak 1.1.2 package from: 1.1.2-jailbreak.zip
- Download the new ipetools from: ipetools.zip
- Download the 1.1.2 Firmware from: here

At this point normally we would have installed OktoPrep from Installer (Tweaks 1.1.1 Category). The new jailbreakme.com is supposed to do this for you now. I've heard a couple reports of the site not doing it so I've left this in the tutorial for now!

Step One
Reboot your phone by holding down the Sleep/Wake button for three seconds. Move the power slider to right to power down. Then press the Sleep/Wake button again to power back on.

Hold down Shift and click the Update button to update to 1.1.3
How to Unlock a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 Upgraded iPhone Using Windows

Once complete a dialog box will appear letting you know you have updated successfully.

When it finishes updating, the iPhone will have been restarted. The new emergency slider and connect to iTunes image will be on the iPhone.

Step Four
Close iTunes then extract the 1.1.2-jailbreak.jar we downloaded earlier. A folder will be extracted called 1.1.2-jailbreak.

Double click windows.bat from within this folder to start the jailbreak.

Go back to WinSCP. Log back into your iPhone using the same procedure as before.

Hey, Ali try running the appsnap while you're connected to iTunes. I have the same problem Nicole has, I keep getting "error package download failed". Then I downloaded anysim 1.2 from a different source. It said "anysim cannot unlock this phone. anysim will now quit". The first time I followed this tutorial everything went smoothly, I only got problems after I restored my firmware.

I just bought a new 1.0.2 iPhone from the AT&T store. How should I unlock it with a Windows PC? Should I ugrade it to 1.1.1? Then upgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2? And then follow the tutorial "How to Unlock a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 Upgraded iPhone Using Windows"? Thank-you for the help.

Jin, I had the same problem and what i did was repeating the anySim process this time with version 1.2 instead of 1.1 (after completing the whole guide and getting the incorrect Sim message) with the ATT card in. It workd for me, just run anySIM1.2 at the end with ATT card, shut down iPhone, insert your SIM and done. Hope it helps

Andrew - January 11, 2008 at 3:37pm
I followed your tutorial but when i try to install the installer from the jailbreakme.com it just goes to the activation screen without doing anything.

Okidoke, fixed the keypad issue and also crashing on sms and phone features. What I did was install the iWorld app, and that did it. Maybe you should note that too in the tutorial. Also another tip: copy and paste the commands when using the terminal tool to avoid typos. Thanks again.

Just did the whole tutorial. My phone is of the first release (bought it June 29) and was activated with AT+T with update to 1.1.2. Seems to works now with Telcel Mexico. The only issue I have right now is that the keypad aborts at the first number entered. Still works with contacts. A couple of notes on the tutorial: Should be noted never to disconnect the iPhone from the usb. Also I needed to reinstall the OpenSSH after step 6 in the upgrade 1.1.2 process (maybe because I had updated the installler app). Thanks and great work!!!
iClarified
iClarified - December 30, 2007 at 1:52pm
jin, did AnySIM install successfully ? Did you update (not restore) to 1.1.2 successfully?
iClarified
iClarified - December 30, 2007 at 1:50pm
Jerry, make sure you completed step 7 correctly and copied the file to the right location. Use the command 'ls' in Terminal to make sure the file is there. If the file is not present then the 'tar' command will definitely not work.
