Not sure if anyone else is having problems using ZiPhone, but should you have a problem getting past the recovery mode when you try use Ziphone. What you have to do is once you hit the "Start Process" and then quit ITunes right after. Then it will continue doing its magic and your good to go.... Took me a while to figure this out, so I wanted to make sure no else wasted theres......

Hi,
I just unlocked jaibroken my iphone 1.1.4 8GB. Unfortunately itunes will not let me see the summary, photos, playlists, music tabs anymore. Simply a devices on the left pane showing the iphone and the same list of music in the music folder.
Can you help me with this? Or is it Permanent?
Thanks

I am facing one problem while installation. I have just installed 3 new game and now I am not able to find the installer option into main desktop may be because there is no space into desktop so I am not able to uninstall the game. Please help me to find out the solution.

For those having issues with downloading packages from installer. Make sure that you not only refreshes the sources but as well clear up the queue, that way everything gets clean and now u can get to download ur stuff again.

Anyway, I got this trick from mypdacafe.com forum so the credit should goes to them.
Okay, 1st step put atnt sim card or any working simcard, digi, maxis (other than celcom) n power on.. Wait till got some signal bar / no network display..
2. Go to setting, carrier. It will search for network. (if no carier show, go back home and wait a while). wait till all 3 network found. (leave the right tick to default "automatic")
3. Press power button (put iphone on standy NOT OFF).
4. Replace the simcard with celcom. (the msg no sim will pop up.. just ignore it and just press the power button to put it on standby mode again)
5. Press power button then 'slide to unlock' You will see the network list. Choose celcom and go home.. Never enter carrier menu again.
Note: on step 5 you need to unlock (keying sim card pin) 1st if you enable the sim lock.
Good Luck

@wombat, im not sure that will be the case, but i've read that apple could easly check the serial number with the BL version and would know if you messed up with the iphone and brick your iphone or in the best case scenario just prevent you to upgrade. Maybe the iphone community can find a way to upgrade a downgraded BL iphone but still, makes it harder i guess. Any way, anyone know why that happened to me???

@WillThaKid: there's a patch in installer called "Youtube Activator 1.1.4 " for that (Source=BigBoss)

@marco: you write "Now i probably wont be able to update to fw 2.0 when it comes out". What makes you assume this?

Hi i had an 1.1.3 16GB unlocked with ziphone (i dont remember what version). I tried to restore to 1.1.4 and i wanted to unlock my phone but keep BL 4.6, so i downloaded ziphone2.5c and ziphone2.3 so i could activate and jb with 2.5 and unlock with 2.3.
I choose the second button, Dont Unlock, Activate and Jailbreak Only and then hit the Start Process Button. It ended up downgrading my BL to 3.9 and had an unlocked phone but not activated. I could see my provider's name on the top but had the slide for emergency screen. I even got an incoming call, I've never seen that. So i went to advanced options, selected activate and jailbreak and that took care of the problem. I now have an 1.1.4 unlocked phone with baseband 4.04.05, but i wanted to have BL 4.6 and baseband 4.02. Now i probably wont be able to update to fw 2.0 when it comes out. What did i do wrong so it doesn't happen again??? I guess ill have to sell this phone and get a new one and try the iplus method.

Works great! Yet one has to consider, that for the Unlock the original AT&T SIM-Card hast to be inserterd. I first restored to 1.1.4 from an unlocked OOTB 1.1.2 . Ziphine did not workl with the inserted Swisscom-SIM-Card.

OK, so I have a 1.1.3 OTB 16GB iPhone and a 1.0.2 OTB 8GB iPhone. I've unlocked and Jailbroken both using the Geohotz method a long time ago and the soft upgrade to 1.1.3.
Will it be safe to restore both phones to 1.1.4 and use ZiPhone 2.5 to jailbreak and unlock? I don't want to do anything that will screw up my or my girlfriend's iPhone.

For those having issues with not being able to download anything via installer after jailbreaking ("cannot download package") you need to go to installer, go to sources at the top left click refresh and refresh all sources. That should do it...

It activate and unlocked the iphone without a hitch. But it did not jailbreak it. I tried several times and it would not jailbreak it. I used independence to jailbreak and it worked like charm. Had a 1.1.3 3.9 bootloader and now I have a 1.1.4 with 04.04.05_G baseband. Everything works except for Boss Tools. Tried to move the fonts and it would not work.

IMPORTANT: Meanwhile Zibir V2.5c is out. Zibri writes " have been told that the main cause of NO WIFI problem is due to the use of another JB method prior to ZiPhone. For other stupid problems, just set the phone as a NEW PHONE after restore then sync. Version 2.5c is RELEASED. 2.5b had a small bug and could not downgrade the bootloader. Click on Download ZiPhone to get it !" The link: http://www.downloadziphone.org/ Then decide on what you want: Windows or Mac and download. The rest is the same as in this tutorial

"'ve recently upgraded to 1.1.4 (through iTunes's "option+Restore") and then I used ZiPhone 2.5 Mac GUI Everything works fine... except Mail... iPhone's mail button crashes and iTunes cannot sync mail (says iPhone canceled the Sync) ... any ideas on how to solve this problem?"
I also had this problem. To fix it, install SSH or MobileTerminal and use the following command to change the owner of files to "Mobile"
chown -R mobile:mobile /private/var/mobile

José :
You'll need to install BossTools, it's erase this 195 mg partition ( old stuffs from apple )
One More Little Thing : It's better to desintall all your external applications, make a synchro/backup with your itunes, then put your iphone in DFU mode, restaure with a 114 donwloaded ( not with Apple servers) then only lance Ziphone OSX2.5.... only after this you'll have

I have a similar question that was recently asked... I have just put my line on hold with AT&T so I no longer have service with them. When I go through this procedure should I keep the AT&T sim in or should I pop in the BT sim from the UK? Will I be able to switch back and forth if I need to without having to do anything?
Thanks for the great write-up I am looking forward to getting it done.

When I use Tiger, do I need to kill the iTunesHelper app and quit itunes before running the application?
I've tried other versions on my mac, but none of them passed the 'entering recovery' mode:-(. I've seen ivo and aRte encountered the same probs, but just to be for sure.

This worked like a charm.
Restored my iPhone using iTunes (synced first, to backup my contacts/calenders).
After that, ran ZiPhone, waited 4 Minutes and «boom» :) Installed BSD-Subsystem and Open SSH, ran AppSupport from Installer... Now I'm on 1.1.4 :)
Thanks iClarified, thanks Zibri!!!! You rock!!!

That happened to my first attempt as well..
So, I RESTORED the iPhone from iTunes completely, and then ran ZiPhone2.5 again, and that ironed out the kinks..

Mine won't upgrade. It says it does, but I still have 1.1.3 with baseband 04.04.05_G?
I the Progress Log it says "Could not enable SSL", could that have anything to do with it? Don't know how to fix that..
