**chennairam** · 20-09-2007, 01:23 PM

* Download the iUnlock_Reloaded.zip from here, here or here. Save it to a directory.
* cd to where you just saved the download and unzip it.
* in another window, ssh into your iPhone and run: mkdir /unlock
* back on your Mac, scp the three files to your iPhone: scp -p iUnlock_reloaded *bin root@youriphoneip:/unlock
* on your iPhone, run: cd /unlock
* on your iPhone, run: ./iUnlock_reloaded

If it worked, and says your iPhone is unlocked, you're done. If not, read on.

If it says that the flash went ok, but the unlock failed, do this:
* put a copy of the 1.0.2 firmware in a directory on your Mac. If you need to download it, get it from here.
* rename the extension on the firmware from ipsw to zip
* unzip it
* run: dd if=009-7698-4.dmg of=ramdisk.dmg bs=512 skip=4 conv=sync
* use finder to navigate to the directory where ramdisk.dmg is and double-click it to mount it.
* copy the following files to the directory you unziped iUnlock_Reloaded.zip in:
o /Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/bin/bbupdater
o /Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.eep
o /Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.fls
* copy those three files to your iPhone: scp -p bbupdater ICE* root@youriphoneip:/unlock
* on your iPhone, run: cd /unlock
* on your iPhone, run: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
* on your iPhone, run: ./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep
* on your iPhone, run: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
* on your iPhone, run: ./iUnlock_reloaded

It should successfully flash and unlock this time.

Just install this application on your phone and run it from Springboard. Enjoy!

The first 10 steps to modding the iPhone
(Windows XP / Vista)
Updated September 7, 2007

I will write new instructions for how to use iTunes 7.4 using newer programs that incorporate the Jailbreak code. Currently you can use AppTapp Installer 3.0. This program is automated, and easy to use.

Download AppTapp Installer here.

Once you've installed this program, a whole world of hacking the iPhone will open up for you. All guides on this site will be redrafted to work with these simpler methods.

[ DEPRECATED ]

The following instructions are being preserved for those who wish to continue using iTunes prior to version 7.4. Do NOT use any of the programs in these instructions with iTunes 7.4 or newer.

So here they are, "The 10 Steps"

Step 1.
Make sure your iPhone is docked and charged.

Step 2.
From iTunes, make sure you have a backup of your phone and all settings (if you want to keep them). Simply connect the iPhone to your computer and iTunes will sync your iPhone. Automatically backed-up information includes text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences.

Step 3.
Press CTRL ALT DEL which will open up the Windows Task Manager. Click on the "Processes" tab and ensure both iTunes.exe and iTunesHelper.exe are not running. If they are, then highlight their names one at a time and click the "End Process" button.

Just click Yes at the pop up warning.

Step 4.
Make sure the iPhone is on.

Step 5.
Create a folder called phonedmg at your root (C:\) level. Click the "Start" button then click "Run...".

Type: cmd and click the "OK" button.

**chennairam** · 20-09-2007, 01:25 PM

You are now using what Windows calls the command shell. Type: cd\ then press enter/return. You should see the C:\> prompt.

Type: mkdir phonedmg then press enter/return.

Step 6.
Download the software restore file from Apple. Click here. Once the file is downloaded, most browsers may automatically decompress the file and leave a folder called iPhone1,1_1 on your desktop. If your browser did not do this, and you have an .ipsw file instead, then rename the extension to .zip and decompress it yourself.

Note: do not place newer firmware files in this folder! Use the file from the link I have provided.

To rename the file you can just click on the file once, and then once again (do this slowly) and the name of the file will become editable showing you its full name.

If the file does not end in ".ipsw", you'll have to turn on file extension display by going to the Tools menu -> Folder Options -> View tab -> and then uncheck the box for "Hide extensions for known file types" then click the "Apply" button.

**chennairam** · 20-09-2007, 01:26 PM

Right-click the iPhone update file and choose "Rename". Give it the ".zip" extension and press enter, and confirm that you want to change the extension.

Click "Yes" at the pop up warning screen.

Step 7.
Place the software restore files you downloaded from Apple (the iPhone1,1_1 folder) into the phonedmg folder. Do not place the whole folder in here, just what's in the folder.

Step 8.
Download the "Jailbreak" program here. Put this file into the phonedmg folder.

**chennairam** · 20-09-2007, 01:27 PM

Step 9.
Download the iPhoneInterface (v 0.3.3) program here. Put this file into the phonedmg folder.

Step 10.
Download the iTunesMobileDevice.dll from here. Put this file into the phonedmg folder. You have now completed all the initial preparatory steps needed to mod the iPhone. You will never have to repeat these steps, provided you do not delete anything in the phonedmg folder.

**chennairam** · 20-09-2007, 01:29 PM

Step 11.
Click the "Start" button and select "Run...".

Enter the following in the text box: cmd Then click "OK".

The command shell window will open. Type the following: cd\phonedmg Then press enter/return.

Now type: jailbreak and press enter/return. Jailbreak will run, and look for the iPhone. You should now plug your iPhone into the computer. Note: once you Jailbreak, you don't have to again unless you switch PCs or restore your iPhone.

**chennairam** · 20-09-2007, 01:31 PM

The iPhone will restart in recovery mode and display this graphic.

It will then take about a minute for the program to do its thing, so don't do anything until you see a C:\phonedmg> prompt like in my screen capture. Keep this window open, you aren't done with it yet.

Step 12.
This step is primarily for those people who have already bypassed activation to use their iPhone as an iPod with Wi-Fi only. You will need to deactivate your phone for this process. Everyone else can skip ahead to Step 13.

In the command shell window, type: iphoneinterface and press enter/return. A prompt for iPhone:/# should appear.

**chennairam** · 20-09-2007, 01:32 PM

Next type: deactivate and press enter/return. Confirmation will appear. Keep this window open.

Step 13.
Now go to this site. Right click the iPhoneActivation.pem link at the top of the page and save it to your C:\phonedmg directory and keep your browser open on this page.

Make sure after downloading this file that the extension is still .pem and not .txt.

Step 14.
Back at the command shell window where iphoneinterface is still running, type these three commands:

cd /System/Library/Lockdown/

putfile /System/Library/Lockdown/iPhoneActivation.pem

This will copy over a modified iPhoneActivation.pem file that is required for this to work. Then type: exit

Step 15.
Now you need to find your iPhone's Device ID. This can be found in Windows Vista at:
C:\Users\username\AppData\roaming\Apple Computer\Lockdown

In XP it can be found at:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\Lockdown

The Device ID is a hexadecimal string, 40 characters long. It should be the only .plist file there. If you can not find this file it is probably being hidden by the system. Go to the menu bar and click "Tools" then select "Folder Options..." then go to the "View" tab and scroll down and check the radio button next to "Show hidden files and folders" then click the "Apply" button.

**chennairam** · 20-09-2007, 01:33 PM

As for the other two numbers, the IMEI and ICCID are found by pressing the "i" button when the iPhone asks for activation

Go back to your web browser and fill in the Device ID, IMEI, and ICCID fields and click the "Generate" button. Once the process is complete, right-click "download a custom activator v0.2", and save it to your phonedmg folder.

Step 16.
Go to your phonedmg folder and double click the 40 character long .exe program you saved in Step 15.

The program will dispaly details about your iPhone, and ask if it's ok to continue. When you click "Yes", it then looks for the iPhone and activates it.
