How to Activate and Jailbreak Your OTB 1.1.2 iPhone Using Windows
Comments (Page 2)

Tobby, did you get your iphone working??? I think I'm in the same situation (OTB 1.1.2 with 4.6 bootloader). I'm following the instrucitions, but I get the same error message as you. I've done it about 6 times now. ***Is this a factor?...when I enter the *#307# command, I'm not able to backspace to enter the "0" key....anyone else? Otherwise, this is a FANTASTIC site!!!

can some one please add me to their AIM please heres my TOBBY2K4 please add me im going crazy with this please add me im on right now. Thanks

i downgraded my 1.1.2 otb to a 1.1.1 and then i jailbroke my phone and then i tried to upgrade to the 1.1.2 package but a 1015 error occured and i could not proceed any further...any help on what or what i should not be doing?ive been stuck for a couple of hours

Thanks, How may time am i supposed to go back to 1.1.1 and keep doping the same thing all over again?? I keep getting the same thing. Now i have a phone that dont have service and cant make calls oh great . Please some1 update the guide. for me to fix this problem this is my third day triging to do the same thing.

tobby, you need to start all over from scratch. put your phone back in recovery mode and install 1.1.1 again.

Can some1 please help im stuck with my phone i been trying to do this the last 2 days. Please add me to you AIM: tobby2k4 please please i really need your help. Thank you

I'm having the same problem as Tobby, I installed manually the Oktoprep and still having the message "This utility can only be used if you have already run OktoPrep before udating to 1.1.2"... I have tried with Itunes 7.6 and 7.5 version... as described on this tutorial. Someone please help!!! Thanks in advance.

Still wont work

Tobby, you might press on Update with the "shift" key and not on restore. That's why it did not work, because by doing restore, you cancel the OctoPrep work by erasing everything. hope this helps

does this method for 1.1.3 OTB?

Ok when you said Manually you mean install from Installer? Wich i have done, But if i do that will i see an icon on the screen? once i have install what do i do with it? Now once i do the restore/update to 1.1.2 all of that stuff gets delete anyway and im stuck with a none jailbreak phone because went i go back to jailbreakme.com it wont do anything since that only works with a 1.1.1 phone. PLEASE to the maker of the guide please please update the guide its confusing for morons like me. And if some1 can help me please add me to AIM: tobby2k4 Thank you

I got the Oktoprep error. Had to go back to the start - recover back to 1.1.1 then install Oktoprep manually after jailbreaking and activating it (so before upgrading to 1.1.2) it won't work otherwise. I don't think this intstruction is very clear in the notes...confusion comes from someone saying it's automatically done for you. I'm all sorted now.

Hello everyone. I just lost one hour of struggle with iPhone, to see your comments and realize that OktoPrep you HAVE TO install manually. Nothing to worry about, you just have to do ALL steps again. And install OktoPrep manually. Seems jailbreakme.com wont help with it. So maybe please authors of that tutorial consider adding that important note :) Just finished jailbreaking on 1.1.2. All successful. Now time for unlock with GeoHot's magic :) Greetz.

Tobby, same pb. if any idea in how to solve it, please let me know. PM

Can some one please help me, Why do i keep getting the same error "This utility can only be used if you have already run OktoPrep before udating to 1.1.2" Do i have to do both Oktoprep? one frm Installer and the one from Jailbreak folder? and i what point do i do the one before i update 1.1.2 since it keep giving me the same error. Please add me to your Aim: tobby2k4 please please i have follow this guide but im still stuck. Im about to jump off a a window. thanks

thanks keets28 for your replys. im followint the guide but im still stuck, Why do i have to install Oktoprep from Installer when i have to run Oktoprep from my pc once i done updating? Also when i do the 1.1.2 update the Install icon disappear how am i supposed to continue? If you have the time please add me Aim: tobby2k4 Thanks

Tobby, make sure you run oktoprep in 1.1.1 and then hold shift and UPDATE in itunes, you may have to boot the phone with the jailbreak app before actually jailbreaking it. I still cant get my iphone working i made a big mistake by restoring it to 1.1.3 and now i'm lost, i followed the guide and now my steath sim or turbo sim wont work, i'm told its because of the firmware, can anyony help?

tobby: you have to install oktoprep before you update to 1.1.2. you'll probalby have to start over from the beginning. this is a note in the tutorial about this read carefully.

Ok at the end (step 4-5) im still getting the same error "This utility can only be used if you have already run OktoPrep before udating to 1.1.2 Is it because i need to run it on 1.1.1 and after 1.1.2?? Also this is what i done install Apps with thru safari install>oktoprep(under 1.1.1tweaks), If i install oktoprep why do i have to run oktoprep from my pc?

tobby i don't know why that posted three times but anyway it's under tweaks

toby: you have to install oktoprep yourself jailbreak doens't do it automatically for some reason

toby: you have to install oktoprep yourself jailbreak doens't do it automatically for some reason

toby: you have to install oktoprep yourself jailbreak doens't do it automatically for some reason

was i supposed to do the Oktoprep twice?? do i really need it to run since i did the apps insta on safari? im going crazy here i keep getting the same error "This utility can only be used if you have already run OktoPrep before uptating to 1.1.2

i follow the guide to the point. But in having problems at (Step Four) i get this when i click either on Jailbreak! from the 1.1.2 Jailbreak Folder. "This utility can only be used if you have already run OktoPrep before uptating to 1.1.2 OK." Can some1 please help me im stuck with a 1.1.2 UNjailbreak phone, I also done the install AppSnapp from the site/safari but i guess thats just for the 1.1.1 Thanks

Fantasatic guide. I managed to get to hitting the 'Jailbreak' button. I then get a message that reads "An unrecoverable error was encountered during the jailbreak. See console for details". Has this happened to anyone else?

THANKS FOR THIS HELP IT'S REALLY GOOD YOUR TUTORIAL, HELLO FROM CHIAPAS.

Hi. The same error as Neal and FBT. I then installed oktoprep myself and could go on. I think this new version is still buggy. I had to try to download installer 3.0 A LOT of times... And after that, my iphone didn't have the packages on screen. I had to reinstall intaller 3.0 from iphone itself and then reload. Then I could grab the oktoprep... Thanks any way.

Thanks Ts. I did everything perfect it was a great guide. Thanks Guys. But before i tried this i unknowingly upgraded to 1.1.3 using itunes and now i have the 04.03.13_G firmware and it wont accept my stealth sim, can i downgrade my firmware. Please Help. Thanks

Hey FBT and NEAL. Please see my comment dated "2008-02-04 15:32:36". The way I was able to do it was to install oktoprep when I downgraded to 1.1.1. So you may have to start over by downgrading back to 1.1.1, then install oktoprep from the installer, then upgrade to 1.1.2. If you need any help, please let me know. You can email me at cscott784 at gmail dot com.

Hi.. I have the same comment as Neal. Can someone please help!!!!!!!

O'lord! Thank you for the help guys! You have being very helpfull to me:) It's working just fine now! One more time; THANK YOU :)

Hey Kenneth, I got stumped with the same situation that you're in a few times as well. I didnt bypass it the way Todd suggests, but I guess its worth a try. The way I bypassed that was to connect the ipod to the pc. If iTunes is open, close it. Then put the phone in restore mode by holding the home and power button at the same time. Once the screen turns black, release the power button but still hold the home button. THEN START ITUNES. As you're still holding the home button, you will be greeted witht he itunes and charge symbols on the screen. iTunes should then detect. If it does, you can release the home button. At that point you can begin from step 2 of the tutorial. These steps are actually the first few steps in this great tutorial. Hope this helps - Evocre8r

Hey Lucas i am glad that your phone is working, my is working too, but i still could not get any signal yet, I have T mobile sim, but I also have the stealth with it too, when i put it together , still don't see anything change , hope u can help me too, thanks mang, email plz, at duyng82@yahoo.com

Kenneth...i got sorta stumped here too...click the top one...it should say something about activate as a new phone not restore whatever you named your phone..click there, it asks you to rename the phone but it was still what i had named it before and then you have the two options that you need to select from. I was worried I had to do all the billing stuff again but that wasn't the case... anyone reading this i know there's a jailbreak for 1.1.3 now, I installed mine last night but I'm starting all over again tonight because the apps i really wanted don't work on the jailbreak i used. the main reason i did this to my phone was to use a chat app like apollo but it doesnt work on the 1.1.3 firmware

yes, i have done with unlock the phone, but when I insert the stealthsim, with my Tmobile care, still don't have the signal yet, please heple

First of all thanks for all instructions, i did a mistake i forgot install oktoprep and started 1.1.2 , now i'm locked in the midle of 1.1.2 and 1.1.1 .How can i donwgrade again to 1.1.1? When i try to conect to itunes stars the at&t process. Coul you help me? Thanks again Andre

Gamera, Im pretty shure that i was pressing Upgrade, and not restore. But Tnx anyway:) Hey evocre8r, :) Tnx! But I still got a problem.. I can't begin all over again, because my iphone is allready named, and can't find a restore- or an updatebutton. I'm very unknowledged when it comes to i-elektronics and programs, so i don't know how to downgrade it again. Do you know how I can can restore, and delete all the programs on it, so I can just follow the walktrough?
