How to Unlock iPhone v1.1.2

You will need the following files to get started:

Hardware:

A Unlocking Solution Purchased at www.wirelessimports.com

Software:

For Macs: iNdependence 
For Windows: Installer 

If iTunes ever opens during this process make sure to close it by itself. On a mac you can make sure it never opens automatically by going to Finder, Utilities, Activity Monitor and quitting iTunes Helper. 

Power up the iPhone
Open iTunes 
Connect iPhone to computer

Now hold down the power and home keys down together. Keep your eyes on iTunes and look at the iPhone icon on the left side. After a few seconds the icon will disappear, as soon as it does let go of the power button but continue holding the home key.  iTunes will give you an error message saying it will need to be restored. 

On a Mac hold down the option key (shift for windows) then click on restore. You will need to select the 1.1.1.ipsw file that you previously downloaded then press OK. 

After iTunes restores your iPhone to version 1.1.1 you will get an error. Press OK and wait, you will now get another error, press OK again. Now close iTunes. Unplug iPhone. 

On a Mac (scroll down for PC) open iNdependence. When iPhone has fully restarted plug it back into the computer. If iTunes opens, close it. Leave everything alone and do not touch your computer or your iPhone for about a minute until Independence brings your phone into the Activation Screen (aka connect to iTunes to activate). 

On a PC: When iPhone has fully restarted plug it back into the computer. If iTunes opens, close it. Open AppTappInstaller.exe select firmware 1.0.2 and allow it to finish. You will get an error but that is ok. Your phone should now be on the Activation Screen (aka connect to iTunes to activate). 

Close iTunes and unplug iPhone. 

Now follow these steps to jail break your iPhone on 1.1.1:

1. On the Activation Screen, slide the bar to the right to get into emergency dialing.

2. Type *#307# and hit Call, the phone will start ringing and diplay 1 Calling.

3. On the top right corner of the screen you will see the numbers *#307#, delete all the numbers from the top right of the screen. Press 0 and then call. 

4. Press Answer, then Hold and then Decline. 

5. Go to Contacts and create a contact by pressing the + sign on the top right. Tap add new Url and type prefs:// and save it. Then add another URL and type jailbreakme.com and save it. 

6. Click on the prefs:// and you can select your WiFi network. Exit by pressing home and then Call the number 0 from the emergency screen. Again press Answer, Hold then decline. 

7. Select the second URL called jailbreakme.com of the contact you created and and follow the Install AppSnapp. The next thing you will see is your main home screen (Slide for emergency). After about 30 seconds the phone should reboot on its own. 

You have now jailbroken your iPhone on 1.1.1 software. 

Slide to unlock and select the Installer icon. On the bottom you will see mini icons that say Featured, Install... tap install. Scroll down the list until you see "Tweeks 1.1.1". Then scroll down until you see "OKtoPrep". Install OK to prep. Once done hit the home key to take you back to the main screen. 

Open iTunes and plug your iPhone back in. If iTunes asks you to add as a new phone just select any option you like and continue forward. You will see a new option asking if you would like to update to the latest version for your iPhone. Hold down the option key on a mac (or shift on a PC) and press update. In the pop up window it will ask you to select a file. Select the 1.1.2.ipsw file you downloaded from above. When finished close iTunes

You should have downloaded a zip folder called 112_jailbreak. Unzip this folder and select jailbreak.jar Just hit the jailbreak button and wait for 2 minutes. Once completed it will ask you to restart the phone. Once it powers back on it will restart on its own again. Just wait and your phone will now be on 1.1.2 software and jailbroken. 

For the rest of the instructions please go back to our page Wireless Imports and follow the steps in the pictures.
