- ROFISH, on 02/12/2008, -2/+43I just did this and it works awesomely. Plugin, go to recovery mode, wait 45 seconds, and boom, Installer.app now ready to go. The whole downgrade thing scared me. (Note that I actually use AT+T and it jailbroke fine. I don't know about activations/unlocks.)
- markwilcox, on 02/12/2008, -0/+37Jailbreak - Allows third party applications
Activate - Allows use of the phone functions (youre supposed to do this through iTunes by giving them your AT&T account)
Unlock - Allows use of phone fuctions on networks other than AT&T - nunofgs, on 02/12/2008, -1/+23I just spent over 2 hours fighting with this issue. I cannot stress this enough:
You need to be in RECOVERY mode. Not DFU mode. They are not the same thing.
DFU Mode: Hold sleep+home for a few seconds until the screen goes black, then release the sleep button. After a while, itunes will allow you to restore a firmware. (the iphone's screen will be black)
Recovery Mode: Turn off the iphone. Disconnect the usb cable from the iphone. Hold the home button and plug in the usb cable. Your iphone will boot up and display an image of a cable+itunes.
YOU NEED TO BE IN RECOVERY MODE to use this application otherwise it will simply crash or tell you it is 'working...' forever. - kingv, on 02/12/2008, -1/+22Finally something that's click and play comes out!
- Frazzlet, on 02/12/2008, -0/+19Does this work for iPod touch?
- azurepalm, on 02/12/2008, -1/+17dugg for 'boom!'
- deadnoob, on 02/12/2008, -0/+15did you just have a conversation with yourself using comments?
- WiseWeasel, on 02/12/2008, -0/+14Aha, Mac version is BACK, baby! He's added support for different OS X versions, and the new download is available here:

- djam, on 02/12/2008, -5/+17This is the sort of tool that would finally make me go out and buy an iPhone!
- luchid, on 02/12/2008, -0/+12Furthermore, you'll need to undestand a few things. There are three "parts" to the phone's software. The bootloader (BL), the baseband (the phone part, or BB) and the OS itself. There are currently 2 bootloaders: 3.9 or 4.6. If your phone came with 1.1.3 or 1.1.2 out of the box (OTB) then you have the 4.6 BL and can easily do all three things at once with Ziphone by running ziphone -a -j -u. If your phone came with a previous version then you have the 3.9 BL and can only jailbreak and activate it, but you can unlock it later with anysim 1.3 thru the iclarified or Big Boss repo in Installer.
- fuhcough, on 02/12/2008, -0/+12for those of us who want an iPhone but are completely in the clouds regarding this unlocking/jailbreaking jibberish, direction to a concise, complete explanation would be GREATLY appreciated.
- dimplemonkey, on 02/12/2008, -0/+11didn't we hear you say the same thing when 1.1.2 was jailbroken?

- WiseWeasel, on 02/12/2008, -0/+10Maybe... wanna fight about it?
: P - luchid, on 02/12/2008, -1/+9You can use the -j modifier to jailbreak. Did you even read the article?
- telekinekris, on 02/12/2008, -1/+8And here's the help if you're on a Mac: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=664
- willgonz, on 02/12/2008, -0/+7He read the line that says, "(This time i removed osx version because it still doesn't work)". Geezz
- Qumahlin, on 02/12/2008, -0/+6Um...I have no idea what your talking about, i've put my iPhone into recovery mode MANY times without using the iphone dock..in fact I don't even know where the dock is anymore, you had to have been doing something wrong.
- VirgilNilson, on 02/12/2008, -2/+8I don't like you.
- kris.mallory, on 02/12/2008, -0/+6Worked great! Im happy too, i was missing installer.
- MacParrot, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5A metal what?
- Ratty, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5I tried it on my 32GB iPod Touch and it failed as well as screwing up the firmware so it no longer booted. A factory restore fixed it but it's not jailbroken :(
- firstpost, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5have you ever seen or used the phone?
- GothAlice, on 02/12/2008, -1/+6Application support for 1.1.3 is still spotty at best. Not a fault of this jailbreak/unlocker, just underlying framework changes that make it incompatible. (Apple knows about the changes, so their code is always updated and working, and they don't care about others at all right now.)
- nunofgs, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5It does unlock too, but only the newer 4.6 bootloader.
- Qumahlin, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5Then why are you bothering to post....your clearly don't understand why people want this and you clearly don't care...so why even ask?
- luchid, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5There's no need to use special methods to upgrade now. They're obsolete. With Ziphone you can now update/restore with iTunes to 1.1.3 and then activate and jailbreak it. You cannot, however, unlock it using Ziphone. You will need to download and run Anysim 1.3 from Installer.
- mackdaddy187, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5Second that. I cant go to jailbreak.com because university internet blocks the .tiff file.
- BryanJK, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5preference
- zeiben, on 02/12/2008, -1/+5I vote we give him cadmium, but I'll accept aluminum...
- MadFlava, on 02/12/2008, -0/+4You need to check permissions on the apps.. also a lot of apps need to run as root.. that has been the majority of my problems.. for 1.1.3 Apple put all the apps in a sandbox and that broke a lot of the third party stuff. If you SSH into the phone and create a few strategic symlinks and change the files to run as root, most of the stuff can be gotten to work.

/me shakes his fist at Digg's broken comment system... - ZigVicious, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4Dragonforce - hardest metal known to man.
- Professr, on 02/12/2008, -1/+5I was having problems with the Mac version also, but this guide fixed everything: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=664
- luchid, on 02/12/2008, -0/+4Just back everything up with iTunes, then use iTunes to restore it to 1.1.3, activate it, jailbreak it, unlock it with Installer and Anysim 1.3 and then load everything from the backup.
- likwidfuzion, on 02/12/2008, -1/+5It does not need to be activated.
- hajamieli, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4You obviously didn't read the article. This post is about the clickety-click version.

Trace/BPT trap - sipps, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3Plug it in and hold the sleep and Home buttons, the screen will go black, let go of the sleep button and keep holding the home button. Eventually iTunes will come up and let you restore.
- darlyn, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3I know someone asked this already, but just in case no one read it: does it work on the iPod Touch??
- iRobie, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3You must not be looking very hard. There are at least three ways I know how to take a 3.9 phone to 1.1.3--
Nate's True 1.1.3 upgrade
Official DevTeam upgrade
Use iTunes to upgrade your phone, use this tool to jailbreak/activate, then use AnySim 1.3
Stay with 1.1.1 if you're happy, but don't say you haven't seen a way to upgrade. This article is one way! - wiihuck, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3i keep getting this. can anyone help?? please!!
- lolinyerface, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3A metal medal!
- luchid, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3No, it's not. The official site is Zibri's blog. The GUI version is just a frontend to the command line utility and is buggy and not updated as quickly as the CLI version. Usage of the CLI version is recommended.
- likwidfuzion, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3Jailbreak/Activation works for ALL iPhone firmwares (1.0.0 - 1.1.3). Only the unlock works on 1.1.2 & 1.1.3 OTB (i.e., bootloader 4.6) for now, but Zibri will be adding support for bootloader 3.9 soon.
- mysql101, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3I just downloaded the ziphone application.
I'm running xp sp3, and my iphone is a legit at&t 1.1.3 with no hacks.
I ran the new GUI, and you no longer need to setup the phone in restore mode. The GUI does it all.
I selected jail break, and hit Start, and it ran. Phone rebooted a few times, then I got bored with it rebooting. So I stopped the program by hitting 'stop' and shut off the phone with the holding power + home button for a few seconds. I tried to start up the phone and it just sat there with the apple logo. At this point I turned off the phone (power + home), plugged the phone back in with the sync cable and held the home button to put it into restore mode. At that point I saw the itunes logo.
I ran the ziphone gui again, this time with debug on, and jail break mode again. It had a lot of debug stuff on the iphone as it ran, and about 2 minutes later my phone was booted up and functional with the installer.app on the desktop.
So anyone who doubts it, I can verify it's functional, if at the very least, somewhat confusing in the beginning when it was rebooting repeatedly. - mrflow3r, on 02/12/2008, -1/+4C'mon!! Gimme a Touch version!!!!!
- TheFiestyFaun, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3if you have 1.1.1 just go to jailbreakme.com
