How to Activate and Jailbreak Your OTB 1.1.2 iPhone Using Windows

Posted December 13, 2007 at 12:00pm by iClarified
These are Windows instructions on how to Activate and Jailbreak an iPhone that was shipped with the 1.1.2 firmware (OTB, OOB, OTTB) and the 4.6 bootloader. These instructions do not unlock your iPhone to use on other carriers. They do however allow you to install applications and in general use your iPhone as an iPod touch.

If you are not sure if you have the 4.6 bootloader then check the serial number of the iPhone. If the 4th and 5th digits are 45 or higher then you have the new bootloader and cannot unlock. Follow this tutorial until an unlock is found. As soon as a software unlock is released I will post instructions so check back.

**NOTE**: If you have opted to unlock your iPhone with TurboSIM or something similar this is the guide you should follow before inserting your TurboSIM.


**NOTE** (Wednesday, December 20th, 2007 12:00):
Here is a list of suggestions for those still having problems with the jailbreak server(Step 22). These suggestions have not been proven as it has always worked for me. However, they are still probably worth a try if the server is giving difficulty. If anyone has a suggestion to add then please let me know.
- Try to do a hard reset on the iPhone and try again
- Make sure you have a strong wireless signal
- Try the jailbreak with your iPhone still connected to the computer and iTunes
- Try using http://www.jailbreakme.com instead of http://jailbreakme.com
- Disable wireless encryption on your network
- Use a Wi-Fi connection without proxy

**NOTE** (Tuesday, December 18th, 2007 23:00):
I have posted a video of what the jailbreak process should look like. I hope this will clear up some of the steps if anything is not understood.

Phone will return to activation screen, but don't panic, just wait. iPhone should automaticly restart after almost a minute. When the phone starts again, it should no longer say Slide to emergency, but rather Slide to Unlock. This means it was successfull!

I've had a few reports of the emergency slider not changing to the unlock slider. The best suggestion so far has been to keep the iPhone connected to the computer and make sure its detected in iTunes. Otherwise it seems to work if you retry installing AppSnapp till it works. Don't know what the issue is exactly (maybe a server load issue) but if it doesn't work immediately then try again.

You have an jailbroken iPhone!!!

NOTES:
I'm rapidly improving the quality of my own screenshots; however, some of them have been obtained from around the net. Most notably I'd like to give thanks to Mark from HacktheiPhone.

If you using this guide for StealthSIM or similar and you are in an unsupported country then you will need to install iWorld from the Installer for your calling to work properly.

THANKS:
Well, I also really need to thank all the developers who have been working like crazy to make this tutorial even possible, especially the iPhone Dev Team.

I've tried numerous ccnoatt scripts on youtube, and this one WORKED! Mind you, you need to be minimally programming savvy, in order to create the actual ccnoatt form. You need to make sure the names of your fields are matching to the fields on the form process, and make sure your ccnoatt page goes to the form process script. Then, if your php compatible host is set up on the internet, you should have a working ccnoatt form. Thank you mr scottish man!

Dries, I have added http://ifoneguide.nl/111 to sources and tried 'Refresh'. Getting Refresh Failed error. Any advise? And where can I get Ziphone? Thanks,
Dries Cloet
Dries Cloet - February 21, 2008 at 7:55am
@jared: yes it has, just look in the all packages map, not under tweaks 1.1.1... I just looked and it is still there so add http://ifoneguide.nl/111 to your sources in the installer and press refresh!! otherwist it will not work, so don't forget to refresh! bye

So where can we download oktoprep or tweaks 1.1.1? the .nl website does not have oktoprep

wezz69 - February 18, 2008 at 9:48am
Update to below, after activating part from 1.1.1, in installer install bsd substation, then community sources, the files needed below are then placed in installer again
wezz69
wezz69 - February 16, 2008 at 10:38am
TO ALL: THE hackthephone..... SOURCE NO LONGER HAS OKTOPREP OR ANY FILE RELATING TO THIS HACK AS APPARENTLY THIS HACK CONFLICTS WITH THE OTHER JAILBREAK. THE SITES OWNER HAS FALLEN OUT WITH NATE SAYING HIS METHODS WERE ILLEGAL AND HAS REMOVED HIM FROM HIS REPOSITORY. BUT... IF YOU ADD community sources that is how i got oktoprep and the 1.1.3 soft upgrade. PS appsnap DOES NOT include oktoprep you still need to do this manually. OTHER THAN THAT, UPGRADE THROUGH ITUNES TO 1.1.2 AND USE ZIPHONE 2.1 TO JAILBREAK, UNLOCK AND ACTIVATE THEN DO SOFT UPGRADE TO 1.1.3

Ziphone works great. Jailbroke and unlocked both my 1.1.2 otb 4.6 bootloader and my new 16gb 1.1.3 otb iphone!
Dries Cloet
Dries Cloet - February 14, 2008 at 9:50am
just add http://ifoneguide.nl/111 to your sources list and oktoprep will be available in the all packages list! I think that the server of conceitedsoftware are down! but it will work just like before if you use the above source! greetz

i downgraded from an 1.1.2 oob to 1.1.1 then jailbroken all is fine but when i go to installer to instal opktoprep i don't have tweek 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 , so no oktoprep in all packages can somebody tell me what to do and if there a source that i can add to get it & install it so after i can update back to 1.1.2 and then jalbreak it , thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

tek - February 14, 2008 at 2:09am
ziphone, never heard of it. I will take a look. You do realise that oktoprep is no longer in the tweaks section? it is integrated in to installer 3.0, read my post. the jar jailbreak does not recognized the intergration and doesnt allow for jailbreaking. off to ziphone i guess...
keets28
keets28 - February 14, 2008 at 1:47am
tek why are you even trying this method. just do ziphone 2.0 much easier, you have to install oktoprep from tweaks.
tek
tek - February 14, 2008 at 1:43am
OKTOPREP is included with the latest version of Installer (3.0) However, the 1.1.2 JAR file and the windows.bat method will NOT work because they do not detect that OKTOPREP has been installed... EVEN THOUGH the fix is installed!

@ http://jailbreakme.com/1.1.2/ says... Step 3: Prepare your 1.1.1 device for the Update This is already done for you with the new version of AppSnapp! Proceed to step 4! But, running jailbreak on updated 1.1.2 throws "This utility can only be used if you have already run OktoPrep before updating to 1.1.2." Also, after 1.1.1 jailbreak using http://jailbreakme.com didn't show Tweaks1.1.1(OktoPrep) to install. Any other 1.1.2-jailbreak.zip is available to use. any help is really appreciated. Dreamz
