  • 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.)
    • azurepalm, on 02/12/2008, -1/+17dugg for 'boom!'
    • e36wheelman, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Worked for my 1.1.3 iPhone on Vista. Dugg.

      I had to add -j to the cmd but it worked. Didn't get a GUI.
    • kkaabboomm, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1having been at 1.1.1 jailbroken since september, i immediately upgraded to a normal 1.1.3 phone (using at&t + data, etc). ziphone took all of 1 minute to use. the trick is, once you turn off your phone, unplug it, hold home, then plug it back in, sending it to recovery mode. once it starts working, it reboots the phone by itself, and BAM, jailbroken.
    • IrvineKinneas50, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1Does anyone know if this works for a phone that was bought at release and upgraded to 1.1.3, or does it have to be the version released on the phone?
    • IrvineKinneas50, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2It said wait 45 seconds. It's been 2-3 minutes and no new lines have printed. Can I take it out now, or did something go wrong? If someone has gotten this to work, please reply or AIM me at IrvineKinneas509
      • DelMonte, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1try adding -v to the ziphone command. I had the same problem, and -v fixed it for me.
  • kingv, on 02/12/2008, -1/+22Finally something that's click and play comes out!
    • proghead, on 02/12/2008, -3/+2well technically it's "type" and play, but its the same idea...
      • hajamieli, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4You obviously didn't read the article. This post is about the clickety-click version.
  • djam, on 02/12/2008, -5/+17This is the sort of tool that would finally make me go out and buy an iPhone!
    • fsweep, on 02/12/2008, -13/+1I don't get it---- why not get something like a Nokia N82 ? It has everything.
  • Revolution101, on 02/12/2008, -0/+13worked great. look here for help: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=655
  • WiseWeasel, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Weird, he talks about OS X support, but I only see Windows binaries in the download... Am I missing something, or did the Mac version get pulled for some reason?
    • WiseWeasel, on 02/12/2008, -6/+1This site has a link to a mirror of the download with a Mac version, along with instructions:

    • WiseWeasel, on 02/12/2008, -2/+6Woops, here's the fixed link:

      /me shakes his fist at Digg's broken comment system...
    • 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:

    • deadnoob, on 02/12/2008, -0/+14did you just have a conversation with yourself using comments?
      • WiseWeasel, on 02/12/2008, -0/+10Maybe... wanna fight about it?
        : P
    • macaddct1984, on 02/12/2008, -4/+2For those having problems installing it on the Mac:

      YOU MUST USE THE iPHONE DOCK IN ORDER TO GET INTO RECOVERY MODE!

      I spent forever trying to get it working with a regular USB-iPod cable, it DOESN'T WORK.
      • 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.

      • wiihuck, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3i keep getting this. can anyone help?? please!!
        • WiseWeasel, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1That happens if you're using OS X 10.4.x Tiger. Ziphone only works with Leopard. I had to use my Windows XP partition to install mine...
        • WiseWeasel, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1Actually, looks like Ziphone 2.3 was just released with support for Tiger...
  • sib30four, on 02/12/2008, -8/+0so i just did this, now what do i do? i can't go to jailbreakme.com to get the installer app, cuz isn't that only for 1.1.1? i want third party apps!! help!
  • lalolalo, on 02/12/2008, -12/+4News is wrong. It's not jailbreak. It's full unlock.
    • luchid, on 02/12/2008, -1/+9You can use the -j modifier to jailbreak. Did you even read the article?
    • jkr801, on 02/12/2008, -1/+3*****...
    • nunofgs, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5It does unlock too, but only the newer 4.6 bootloader.
  • ScottyDontKnow, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Apparently the mac version wasn't working well so he took it down. You can just use a PC and still have your phone use your mac.
    • Sixxer, on 02/12/2008, -3/+1How do you know?
      • 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
  • LaSepultura, on 02/12/2008, -6/+1I did the downgrade method and a ton of apps don't work. TapTap doesn't see songs. ApolloIM can't find the server. A few games load and then crash. Everything works fine until I upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3.

    Hopefully this method will fix it. I'm in for the "i'll try it when I get home from work" post. Again.
    • 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.)
      • funkytaco, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2Uninstall all apps before upgrading.
        • GothAlice, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1*laughs* Uh, no. Not necessary, just useful to remove the 'stupid user' from the equation. I'm actually a happy user of 1.1.4, with no issues whatsoever.
    • luchid, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2I second what GothAlice said. App support for 1.1.3 is spotty at best. Probably because there aren't many jailbroken users on it yet. This method will probably speed things up.
      TTR works fine for me though. Maybe you should try restoring to 1.1.3 through iTunes to clean things up a bit if you come from several other upgrades. Things can get a bit messy ater all the changes the dev and elite team have made to the various jailbreaks and apps.
    • 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.
  • kris.mallory, on 02/12/2008, -0/+6Worked great! Im happy too, i was missing 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.
    • 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
    • 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.
      • dude111, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1How do I find out what BL my iPhone is running?
        • avihappy, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2If it CAME with 1.1.2 or 1.1.3, then you have bootloader 4.6
          If it CAME with 1.1.1 or older, then you have bootloader 3.9
      • Maciula, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1I'm on T-Mobile (I know it's *****), and I'm planning to buy an iPhone. Using ziphone app do I need to run it with -a to activate it? or just -u and -j?
        Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers
  • Berzerker7, on 02/12/2008, -8/+1Only for 1.1.2/1.1.3 OTB. It's not complete enough.
    • luchid, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3It works for every version, though the only ones unlockeable with Ziphone are the ones with the 4.6 bootloader (1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OTB). For previous ones you can restore/upgrade to 1.1.3 with ITunes activate and jailbreak with Ziphone, and unlock with Anysim 1.3 (also found in Zibri's blog and on a bunch of repos in Installer).
    • 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.
    • TheFiestyFaun, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3if you have 1.1.1 just go to jailbreakme.com
  • antiorblkflag9, on 02/12/2008, -1/+2whoop whoop
  • thegreattimmyd, on 02/12/2008, -0/+0I installed this last night, and was very happy with the result. One minor annoyance for me was activation. I expected the -a argument to activate my phone after the restore. It didn't work for me, but I was able to reactivate through itunes.
  • Zain123, on 02/12/2008, -1/+3Does anyone know if the phone has to be activated already for this to work?
    • likwidfuzion, on 02/12/2008, -1/+5It does not need to be activated.
  • cave, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1Someone please answer me: Can upgrade my unlocked (but virginized) 1.0.2 phone to 1.1.3 on iTunes without formatting/restoring, and then use this tool?
    • thegreattimmyd, on 02/12/2008, -0/+0I restored to 1.0.0.3. But iTunes backed up my settings. I only had to reinstall 3rd party apps. I think you'll be fine if you just update.
    • 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.
  • pigg123, on 02/12/2008, -1/+3anyone know the safest way to go from 1.0.2 to 1.1.3 ?
    will this application help?
    halp?
    • skifreak107, on 02/12/2008, -1/+1There are upgrades on installer...
    • 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.
    • selfdisplaced, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1follow this step by step, and you will be fine...i did this the other day, worked perfectly....

      http://iphone.unlock.no/#Bypass-Activation-and-Jai ...

      two things to note, to get YouTube working, run the YouTube Fix in Installer, and secondly, to get map locater run Navizon once. once you run navizon you can uninstall it, not sure why, but if you do it, it'll work.
  • skifreak107, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1I already had my phone jailbroken/unlocked/activated on 1.1.3, but I was having trouble with the root login. Guess ill brick it, restore it to 1.1.3, and give this a try.
    • skifreak107, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Update: restored to 1.1.3 using iTunes, used this app (with no sim in, even) and it worked beautifully. Jailbroken/activated/unlocked in 3 minutes.
    • luchid, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1No need to brick it. A regular iTunes restore will do.
    • selfdisplaced, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1i think they changed the root password on one of the updates...?
  • seanieb, on 02/12/2008, -12/+3here is the official site for the App
    http://iphone.unlock.no/
    • 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.
  • Frazzlet, on 02/12/2008, -0/+19Does this work for iPod touch?
  • abszint, on 02/12/2008, -8/+1will this work on the ipod touch?
  • pyrates, on 02/12/2008, -9/+2This just killed being able to easily move to future firmware versions. I won't say why, but now Apple is going to fix the exploit this used when we had a perfectly good jailbreak method. For those that are saying this is great, this is NOT a good thing.
    • dimplemonkey, on 02/12/2008, -0/+11didn't we hear you say the same thing when 1.1.2 was jailbroken?
      "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" 1.1.1 "" "" ?
      "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" 1.1.0 "" "" ?
      • pyrates, on 02/12/2008, -3/+1Never said that about any of the previous versions. Again, this was completely unnecessary. Unless you are a part of the iphone dev team, you have no idea what I'm talking about. But to get a hint, read geohot's blog on it.
    • VirgilNilson, on 02/12/2008, -2/+8I don't like you.
  • mrtrance, on 02/12/2008, -2/+1wow congrat guys :)
  • neiltc13, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1I just used this on my 1.1.3 iPhone which is a *real* iPhone running on O2 in the UK. Seems to have worked fine. Took a bit of working out that the image in Engadget's post is actually a different version released by unlock.no.
    • diggboy101, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2Yea, cause all of our unlocked iPhones are cheap knockoffs.
  • MANonFYER, on 02/12/2008, -4/+2Someone give this guy a metal.. !!! perfect!!
  • jgerry, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1For those of us with bootloader 3.9, this evidently still will not work. Newer phones comes with bootloader 4.6, which this jailbreak / unlock is specifically designed for.

    I have a jailbroken / unlocked 1.1.1 phone with bootloader 3.9 and haven't yet seen a way to upgrade to jailbroken / unlocked 1.1.3.
    • 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!
  • MacParrot, on 02/12/2008, -8/+2Not having an iPhone means I really have no idea why this is a big deal. Apple is supposed to release an SDK at some point I think this month. Why not wait til then?
    If it's a question of "I want to put my own apps on it and decide for myself what to use the phone for", then why buy such a locked down phone in the first place? It isn't like you couldn't choose from a variety of other models with features that might be more in line with what you're looking for.
    • firstpost, on 02/12/2008, -0/+5have you ever seen or used the phone?
      • MacParrot, on 02/12/2008, -4/+1Sure, I've seen it. I was at the Keynote when Jobs first showed it. I was memorized and thank God it wasn't available that first day because I might have actually bought one.
        Look, this isn't a question of putting down the iPhone. Most of the guys I write with have one and I will admit at the last Macworld Expo when they would take it out and swoosh it from one function to another it looked really cool.
        Then I remembered that I don't need one. I'm perfectly fine with the cheap POS that came with my ATT plan. That makes calls and that's about all it does. I don't use it much. I'll call the wife or talk to the kids and if I'm going to be late going someplace, well it's handy for that too. I don't really feel the need to be connected 24/7. If I need the net, I use my laptop while on the road. No access? Oh well.
        I've been watching this debate go round and round ever since it was first shown. The lovers and haters going at it like Frazier/Ali. You know what? Who cares? It's a phone...it plays music from iTunes or your own collection. It does pictures, sends mesages, lots of stuff. So do other smartphones with varying degrees of difficulty or success.
        And life goes on no matter who wins
        • 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?
          • MacParrot, on 02/13/2008, -2/+2You didn't read my post. I understand why people want it and I admitted that it does some way cool stuff. If it had a lower price point I would most likely get one. But for what it (and every other smart phone offers) does, it's just too high a price for admission. If it's what you want...have at it.

            I'm just tired of the haters talking smack about it and most likely either never having used one or wouldn't buy it because it has an Apple on it. It's as silly as Mac users so obsessed with hating MS that they trot out all the cliches every time the name comes up. No hope for discussion, just the same insults flying back and forth.
        • chrislee149, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2"I've been watching this debate go round and round ever since it was first shown. The lovers and haters going at it like Frazier/Ali. You know what?

          And you wonder why people want to take full advantage of it by adding brand new features to it?
          • MacParrot, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1I fully understand why people want to add new features. If I had one I would want to also. My original point is that since Apple announced the SDK is supposed to be released this month, why not just hold off and see what the official release will be instead of wasting time adding stuff that may or may not work the next go round.
            If wrestling with your devices is how you have a good time...go for it. I'll take the easier solution or at least wait until I can compare them.
        • Jb611, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1Your logic sucks.
  • 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.
    • nitzan, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Unfortunately I am still getting a Bus Error even when in Recovery Mode. I did exactly what you described and my iPhone is in recovery mode with the itunes+cable image.
      Running Itunes 7.6 and OSX 10.5.2 and I just upgraded my iPhone to 1.1.3.
      :(
      • aplardi, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1I'm having the same issue nitzan. It sucks!
      • nitzan, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1New version is out and it works fine! Released at 12:46pm.
  • jgerry, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Title says this will work on "any version" iPhone. Not quite. Looks like it will only work on phones with bootloader 4.6. Many older 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 phones (like mine) have bootloader 3.9. Upgrading to 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 does not update the bootloader. So we're not quite there yet! I can't update my jailbroken / unlocked 1.1.1 phone to 1.1.3 just yet.
    • kris33, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3It works great on 3.9 iPhones, you just can't use this app to unlock them. You have to use anySIM 1.3 for that.

      This is how you do it:
      1. Update to 1.1.3 as normal via iTunes
      2. Run this app
      3. Add a source and install anySIM 1.3 from Installer
      4. Bvoila
      • DontEatTheFish, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1after ziphone runs (i did the -u -j -a) it says "done!" but my phone is still at the "connect to itunes to activate" screen
  • JeffMaster, on 02/12/2008, -7/+2I'm pretty sure the SDK is coming out in a week's time (or less), I mean... let's face it friends, the jailbreaking stories are over.
    • Digisphere, on 02/12/2008, -1/+3Maybe its just beginning, cause lets face it some apps ain't gonna be free 99 ;)
      • mrflow3r, on 02/12/2008, -2/+0But how do we know if apps wont require a serial key to activate?
        • likwidfuzion, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Like serial keys are going to stop pirates.
        • avihappy, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2plus the fact that there is no copy/paste makes impossible to have anything but a very short serial.
  • socraticchrist, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3Worked fine running 1.1.3 and Vista. I have AT&T, so I all I wanted was to Jailbreak for 3rd party apps.

    Unzip, navigate to dir, ran ziphone -j, followed instructions. Took about 30 seconds, and installer.app is now on the homescreen.
  • NJRFilms, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Since the OS X version doesnt seem to work Im trying to use this in Parrallels. Windows sees my phone just fine, so i turn it off, hold down home key, plug it in. Now its in recovery mode. I ziphone -j and it starts:

    loading zibri.dat
    Search for iPhone ...
    USBMuxxListenerCreate: No error

    and it just hangs here forever

    Anyone have thoughts?

    • phpCypher, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2simply put, I have had 0 luck in parallels with most unlocking/jailbreaking tools.
      I think there may be some windows setting that will allow them to work directly via the parallels/USB driver in OSX, but I gave up and just used an old windows box.

      good luck !
    • jwm0z, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1I had this problem. You need itunes installed! Install it and it should work.
  • NJRFilms, on 02/12/2008, -1/+0Uhm wow - the OS X instructions are a lot more difficult and dont totally work yet WTF
  • bays, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2jeez 3 minutes ... i spent 90 minutes doing geohots jb/unlock on my mates 1.1.2 yesterday
  • kkiran, on 02/12/2008, -1/+3The ziphone package download is way too slow. A fast mirror can be had from here : http://rapidshare.com/files/91267549/ZiPhone.zip
  • cameronio, on 02/12/2008, -0/+3How can you tell if it works? Does it install Installer.app? If not, how the hell do I get it on there?
  • mnemy, on 02/12/2008, -1/+2I'm a phone hax nub... so could someone tell me wtf jailbreak is?
  • 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
  • DarkDx, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1This and the new unlock are making the iPhone hack stuff better.
  • mrflow3r, on 02/12/2008, -1/+4C'mon!! Gimme a Touch version!!!!!
    • theundone, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1Unless I'm mistaken, this works with the Touch also?
  • godsdead, on 02/12/2008, -2/+2YAY! now i just need an iphone..
  • colorme, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1What I'd like to know: are there any places to purchase an iPhone at normal retail price without having to buy through Apple or AT&T, and activate?
    • Ratty, on 02/12/2008, -1/+1Germany, and it's around $900
    • layfield02, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1when you buy an iphone from at&t you dont sign up for anything, you just buy it take it home and then activate through itunes but with this you can unlock instead of activate.
    • Qumahlin, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1yes. ANYPLACE. You can order one from apple.com if you'd like
  • Mizzike, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1THANK YOU. This is nothing short of magic.
  • abird, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1So will this allow me to jailbreak my non-jailbreaked 1.1.3 bootloader 3.9 iPhone? All this stuff makes my head spin.
    • layfield02, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1yes
    • avihappy, on 02/13/2008, -0/+2But it will only activate and jailbreak you. You need ANYSIM 1.3 to actually SIM unlock.
  • 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??
    • DelMonte, on 02/13/2008, -0/+1I can confirm that it works on an iPod touch. Just be sure to use the verbose mode (-v).
  • de1968kjl, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1This thing is sick! I have a 1.1.1 OOTB 3.9 bootloader and 04.03.13 baseband and it took me 10 minutes! WAY easier than trying to downgrade and upgrade again!
    • viperrepiv, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2I thought it isn't supposed to work with the 3.9 bootloader?
      • gizzymo, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2no, the unlock function does not work with 3.9 , activate and jailbreak do.
  • sdaf, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2I guess a zomg is in order!
  • soumenb, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1Amazing! I have using the jailbreak (and sometimes unlock, especially when I went to India) methods for all firmware versions. This is the fastest and most painless method yet.
  • VirgilNilson, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1Wow, I wish I could digg this more than once. This is a major evolutionary leap from the old method.

    By the way, Windows Vista, 1.1.3 worked first try without any problems whatsoever.
  • jer.williams, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2Didn't work on my phone (1.1.3, formerly jailbroken but restored to legit, purchased release day). Program crashed in XP and iPhone got stuck in DFU mode. No apps could get it out. Had to restore.
    • layfield02, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2you have to shut the phone off and then hold the home button until it gets in recovery mode and then open cmd line, cd to your ziphone folder and the type ziphone and a list of options becomes available, you cant just double click the exe and you have to properly shutdown and startup in r/c mode for it to properly work.
    • Qumahlin, on 02/12/2008, -0/+2DFU mode and Recovery mode aren't the same thing, thats your problem.
