October 18th, 2007 · 194 Comments · Apple, FAQ, iPhone, Mods, Unlocked

anySIM

Use this ONLY if you have a BRAND NEW iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 or a virginized 1.1.1 iPhone

Text in red means you use WinSCP for that step, text in blue means you use Putty Download one zip file containing all the downloads that this guide tells you to get, so instead of individual links here is a zip archive of all the files/installers needed for this guide : http://d.turboupload.com/d/2098918/unlock111.zip.html—————————Using Task Manager (ctrl-alt-delete) end ITunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe)

First we need to get to safari:

1. Slide to reach the emergency dial screen
2. enter *#307# and then press call
3. Your phone will ring itself, press answer
4. Press hold now and your phone will start ringing again
5. Press Dismiss and your phone will go into the contacts/dial screen
6. Press contacts from the bottom bar and add a contact
7. Add a contact with a random name and homepage as >> prefs://1F
8. Save it and click on the contact’s homepage. this will take you straight into the setting menu of the iPhone.
8a. Leave your phone on for a minute or two. Then shut down your iPhone and restart.
8b. After the iPhone restarts it should have the Wifi icon showing at the top…if it does not do steps 1 – 8 again.
9. Once the wifi is working, do steps 1 – 5 again.
9a. For the next step add another contact give it another name and this time add the address as >> http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com/ UPDATE: use the address: http://jailbreakme.com/ instead of jailbreak.toc2rta.com
10update. Save the contact and then go to http://jailbreakme.com/you just saved. Follow the instructions and it will automatically activate and jailbreak your iPhone. You can now skip the Touchfree part and proceed to WINSCP.

10. Save the contact and then go to the 2nd url you just saved. Safari will load the page and then close automatically to the home screen (the screen that says activate iphone).

If you do not have an answer key and your phone is ringing try this: After you dial *#307# , then you phone will ringing. Then delete the *#307# , and then type number” 3?( only number “3?) press call. After then that you will see ” Decline and answer”. Click “answer”, then click “hold”. Then your iphone will show up ” Decline and Answer” again. THIS time hit “decline” and it will let you go to the contact screen.

—————————————

Once thats done continue :

Get TouchFree (it works on iPhone too)
Get/Install .Net Framework 3.0 before you move on

If you are having trouble with touch free (like it gets stuck at step 2 and stuff, uninstall the old version, make sure you delete the folder in C:/programs, and use this one : TouchFree Alpha)

Follow the steps on TouchFree (You have to shut down the iPhone 2 times during this process, it will tell you to do it even after the 2nd time you have done it but ignore that and close the program!)

After TouchFree finishes you should restart your iPhone and get to the springboard

If TouchFree is giving you problems you can follow the newer (untested by me) guide:

Get the New PACAY to activate. You can download it here:http://rapidshare.com/64740293/CARNAVAL_by_brasuco-v0.2.rar.html

(UPDATED!) CARNAVAL helps you with the whole process of activating you iPhone and getting 3rd party software. It’s a little bit more interactive than PACAY, so you’re going to have to read ALL the text the scrolls during execution so you follow the instructions to the letter.

WARNNING: CARNAVAL is for iPhone 1.1.1 only and you should have iTunes version 7.4 (newer version). Also, this is the first release, as the first to try you are helping the community as a tester but is also running the risk of using buggy software.

After TouchFree or Carnival has completed: Set auto-lock on your phone as “never” (on your iphone: Settings > General > Auto-Lock > Never)

Now get WinSCP and find your iPhone ip by going to (on your iphone) settings > Wi-Fi > “Your selected WiFi” > Look under IP AddressConnect to your iPhone using WinSCP (user: root password: alpine) Change File Protocol to SCP

winscp2

Just press login after your screen on WinScp

Get AnySIM 1.1 (http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/anySIM-1.1.zip)- Upload AnySIM 1.1 to the /Applications folder (Make sure both the folder anySim.app and the file inside that folder named anysim are chomodded to 0755 [right click and select properties]) click on the “..” until you see root, then click on the applications folder and put anysim inside.
root

Make sure the directory anySim.app and the FILE named “anysim” inside the directory are chmodded to 0755 [right click and select properties]!!

Download this file http://rapid$hare.com/files/63229501/killall.html (change the $ sign for an S in the url)- Upload it to your /usr/bin folder (on the iphone)Set permissions to 0755

Run Installer from your springboard- Install BSD Subsystem from Installer- Restart your phone

Run anySIM 1.1 (MAKE sure your new simcard in inserted) (IF ANYSIM CRASHES, CHMOD the ANYSIM FILES AS STATED ABOVE)

Restart your phone again

Get this file: http://rapid$hare.com/files/63231299…ownds.zip.html (change the $ sign for an S in the url)- Upload the three files to your /usr/libexec folder on your iphoneSet permissions to 0755 to the three filesRename the file called lockdownd on your /usr/libexec folder to lockdownd.backRename the file lockdownd.1.0.2 to lockdownd

Download iAsign (http://dl.free.fr/dZt8908BH/IASign_win32.zip)you may need this dlls to run iAsign http://rapid$hare.com/files/63351413/iasign-dlls.zip.html (change the $ sign for an S in the url)There is a file called iphoneactivation.pem under the /iAsign/bin/ folder of the zip you just downloadedUploaded to your iphone, to the folder /System/Library/Lockdown

Get Putty from here http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/…/x86/putty.exe
Connect to your iPhone using putty (user: root password: alpine)
Run this command without the quotes “killall lockdownd”

Extract the iasign folder to your C:/ Drive (That folder can be found in this file >> http://d.turboupload.com/d/2098918/unlock111.zip.html)

Open a command line in your pc (Start menu > Run > cmd)- Navigate to the folder where you have iasign.exe (This means you need to point the command prompt to the iasign folder):– Now run this command from the command line “iasign –automatic iPhoneActivation_private.pem”- Your iphone should popup a message telling you that it is Activated- Now rename lockdownd to lockdownd.1.0.2 using WinSCP (This is in /usr/libexec)- Now rename lockdownd.swap to lockdownd using WinSCP (This is in /usr/libexec)

Run this command without the quotes “killall lockdownd” on putty

Restart your phone and it should be unlocked by now.

Now use this tutorial to get YouTube activated: YouTube 1.1.1 Fix

ONLY 300mb on your phone after you are done: you should remove the “media” file, and then rename either “media.old” or “mediabackup” to “media”

it is located at var/root

You are all set now Special thanks goes to mando for the original tutorial!

    ok thanks a lot ! 🙂

  • alixky

    Done with everything said here. The phone work with T-mobile but not with other asian sim card (It said SIM locked). Oh, and I didn’t see this part on my phone when following the tutorial:
    Now run this command from the command line “iasign –automatic iPhoneActivation_private.pem”
    – Your iphone should popup a message telling you that it is Activated

    Am I missing something here? Since the phone work with T-Mobile, I suppose the phone has been unlock.

  • alixky

    I forgot to mention that I run anySIM with my AT&T sim on it not with the asian sim or T-mobile. Does it hurt to try restore the phone and follow these step again with the other sim? I suppose the phone baseband has been modified so I’m a bit worry to redo these steps when it already said the phone should be in virgin.

    Thanks

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    You need to activate every time you switch sims. When you put the tmobile sim in you have to activate it. then when you put the asian sim in you have to activate it again.

  • EDAY

    I have yet to try these steps to activate, jailbreak and unlock. After following the steps outlined above are you able to connect the iPhone to iTunes? If so does it matter which version?

    Thanks in advance.

  • alixky

    Limited:

    Well, after put the asian sim in, it just said sim locked but it allow me to use all the function of the phone. Should I expect it to be in unactivate mode when you said I need to activate it? And could you please let me know how to activate the second sim. Thank you much.

    Oh I forgot to told you that the Tmobile sim work just fine without activate as you said. I even can make a call from it.

  • paul

    I accidently deleted the Media dir inside /var/root, and as a result I am now unable to rename Media.old to Media.

    All my ringtones and alarms are REALLY quiet. Could this be why?

  • Quang

    after i typed this command,“iasign –automatic iPhoneActivation_private.pem”. My phone does not show message that my phone is activated. I ran the anysim successfully

  • Gato

    The worked through the early step and get safari and wifi work. Then I visited jailbreakme.com, run install appsnapp, and safari hangs for ~20mins, and my iphone just show a end call screen. I restarted the phone and it is still in jail. Repeat the whole step many times and still no luck. Here are my questions:
    1. Any particular setting for the router? I am using linksys WRT-G54
    2. Do I need to restore my phoneand start over again?
    3. If yes, how to do it in an unactivated iphone.

    Thanks.

  • Eddie

    My iphone is showing only 300mb after jailbroken and unlock. Can anyone help solve my problem without restoring the iphone

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    Eddie make sure to read the entire guide. Its located in GREEN:
    ONLY 300mb on your phone after you are done: you should remove the “media” file, and then rename either “media.old” or “mediabackup” to “media”

    it is located at var/root

  • MalayZN

    I skipped a lot of these steps……
    I just did the jailbreak through the website and ssh added anysim and unlocked. Everything seems to be working. What are all the other steps for?

  • swiss dude

    hey limited, does your iphone still freeze a lot after having restored it with iTunes? Cuz I did a restore and it still freezes a lot and application crash a lot also…

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    I did another restore and have been running smooth now

  • swiss dude

    ok … how many restores have you done up until now ?

  • Buzz

    There is no link to download AppSnapp on Jailbreakme.com , and I don’t have a credit card. Anyone know another way to download AppSnapp on the iPhone?
    Cheers

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    Buzz you need to go to jailbreakme.com on your iPhone and scroll down to the bottom and click install appsnapp

  • Buzz

    Yes I did that but I cannot see any link to appsnapp there. Can you see it now on your iphone – maybe it was removed and you have to donate first?

  • Buzz

    It says “You must visit this URL (Paypal) on your iPhone to be able to install AppSnapp”

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    yes it is there for me. You do not need to donate unless you want to.

  • Buzz

    Just read somewhere that you cannot see the link if you’re behind a proxy, maybe this is the case with me. Please please, any hints here what to do or how to download appsnapp from another site, or another soltion. Cheers.

  • Limited Edition iPhone

  • Buzz

    Aha…instead of Install AppSnatt I have messsage “Access Safari on Unactivated Phone”, any ideas what to do.

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    make sure you are going to jailbreakme on your iphone not your computer

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    also it only works on 1.1.1 firmware iphones

  • Buzz

    sorry but yes I am on my iphone, and I have virginized to 102 and upgraded to 111 yesterday..

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    you are behind a proxy?? If so try to get on a different network and try it again.

  • Buzz

    thanks anyhow, not sure exactly what a proxy is, but I think my whole countrys network is under a proxy, I think….is there any other site where I can download appsnapp or any similar app to begin jailbraiking my iphone….your help is much appreciated.

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    you could try contacting the creators

  • Buzz

    there is no email on jailbreakme.com, u mean nullriver?

  • Buzz

    tried searching for “email” of iphone Dev Team on google, but canot find anything..

  • Buzz

    will try, many txs

  • Buzz

    tried, no reply, guess the guy is too busy…do let me know if you know of any other site I could download AppSnapp from. Thanks.

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    you could try doing the old method where you go to http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com/ on you iphone, and install everything manually

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    follow the guide above using touch free

  • Buzz

    Please its a bit confusing, do I start where you say “…Once thats done continue : …” i.e. ignore everything before that?…

  • Buzz

    will it work with Vista..

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    go to http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com/
    run touch free
    follow guide from winscp to the end.

    It should work on vista

  • Majest

    Hi,

    I’ve gone through downgrading the baseband and firmware everything seems correct… ran anySim1.1 and it said unlock was successful. After a reboot i don’t get the wrong sim card message no more so thats good… but i dont get any reception either… when i tap into general / carrier it comes up with “ERROR”

    anyone come across this problem yet?

  • Buzz

    Dear LIMITED EDITION IPHONE, have started touchfree and it says “make sure your ipod can sync with computer”…how can I be sure iphone can sync if itunes is supposed to be turned off…

  • Buzz

    !!! LUCK!!! I have just managed to see “install appsnapp” (jailbreakme.com) on my screen, clicked it and my phone went back to activation screen but it still says (even after waiting 5 minutes) “slide to emergency” instead of “slide to unlock” and it didn’t restart as its supposed to…any hints, txs

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    just restart it yourself. You may have to restart 2 times

  • Buzz

    Dear LIMITED EDITION IPHONE, restarting manually didn’t work, so I tried downloading appsnapp again several times until at last it worked, the rest took 15 minutes, and now I have a working 111 iphone. MANY TXS for your help.

  • keopp

    After installing jailbreakme.com it went back to the activation screen, stating ‘incorrect SIM’ and ‘slide to emergency’. Tryed to apply y.tiff patch again but it seemed not to work. Please help… i feel i’m close

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    put in your att sim in while doing it

  • Buzz

    (HELP) seem to have a problem..connected to itunes, my iphone shows only 300MB memory…! memory is “full” can’t sync…

  • Buzz

    sorry read further above your instructions, then installed and opened WinSCP but getting message “connection refused”..

  • Buzz

    no luck with WinSCP… pls is there any iphone app where i can run these commands from the iphone itself: (1) rm /var/root/Media
    (2) mv /var/root/Media.old /var/root/Media….txs
