If you encounter problems while trying to unlock your iPhone you made need to restore your iPhone to a virgin state. This will re-flash the baseband which performing a normal restore under iTunes will not do. The reason we flash the baseband is that most unlocking procedure modify the baseband by writing code to it. This procedure will re-lock your phone and ensure you have clean firmware.
iPhone Virginizer Is Here: GUI version will be released soon:

Instructions:
STEP 1
To prepare, if you haven’t already,
- Download and install Apptap
Click here for Apptap
- winSCP (for communication and transfering file between iphone and your pc)
Click here to download WinSCP
-Putty (To execute commands in your iPhone from your pc)
Click here to download Putty
-Baseband
http://www.mediafire.com/?21dnbevlfxu
Now You will need to install the following items in your iphone using Installer
a). Community Services
b). BSD Subsystem
c). Open SSH
Once done.
STEP 2
1. Connect to your Iphone (Using winSCP)
Code:
IP Address: Check your current WiFi settings on your iPhone. (If you have trouble, try issuing a static IP.) Login Name: root Password: dottie Connection Type: SCP Port: 22
If this is your first time connecting, it may take a minute or so. If a dialog pops up asking to Abort after 15 seconds, ignore it. If you get an error about a groups command, ignore this as well.
Navigate to the /usr/bin directory of your iPhone (the root directory, not /var/root/ or /private/var/root).
Drag-and-drop the extracted contents to your iphone
bbupdater
ICE03.14.08_G.eep
ICE03.14.08_G.fls
Before pressing the Copy button, press More >> to reveal more options. Check the box next to “Set permissions” and make sure the textbox has this text:
rwxr-xr-x
You can also enter the Octal code of 0755
2. Now connect to your iphone using Putty, navigate to the root directory of your iphone by typing [b]/.[/] then execute
“launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist ”
3. Now type cd /usr/bin then hit enter, then type chmod +x bbupdater and hit enter then type ./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep and hit enter
STEP 3
1. Download IPSF, the version doesn’t really matter (attached with zipped file above)
a. Connect to your Iphone (using winSCP)
Code:
IP Address: Check your current WiFi settings on your iPhone. (If you have trouble, try issuing a static IP.) Login Name: root Password: dottie Connection Type: SCP Port: 22
b. copy SimFree.app to /Applications
c. Navigate to the /Application/SimFree.app directory
d. chmod +x bbsimfree kill rm sh
2. Change your DNS server in Wi-Fi settings to 129.21.116.152 (required)
3. Run IPSF; it won’t work if your flash isn’t original so bbupdate first(the fw version doesn’t matter)
a. it will say invalid token/error update token, this is normal
b. if it says something else, that isn’t normal
4. Go to http://129.21.116.152:49973/seczones/(your imei).bin in your PC Internet Explorer after IPSF finishes
a. use your real imei, not 0049…, example http://129.21.116.152:49973/seczones…5000012345.bin
b. this file is your restored seczone, file size is 4096 bytes at time of writing.
5. original geohotz gloader contain a bug which prevent it from work it was corrected by guest184 and simple proggy is generated to the personal gloader.
a. cmd and change the dir to where you have saved the file you downlaoded.. “example: for me it was C:\iphone\revirginizer”
b. Then type “geomaker (your_imei).bin”,
c. You will receive “(Your_imei).bin_loader” – THAT IS YOURS LOADER.
STEP 4
Now time to restore seczone. further instructions situable only for fw ver 1.0.2.
i assuming that you installed bsd subsystem and openssh packages.
a. Connect to your Iphone (using winSCP)
Code:
IP Address: Check your current WiFi settings on your iPhone. (If you have trouble, try issuing a static IP.) Login Name: root Password: dottie Connection Type: SCP Port: 22
Transfer all the file using Winscp on your iphone (better make some dir like /usr/u)
314fls_correct,314secpack,eeprom.eep,
bbupdater,iUnlock, (Your_IMEI).bin_loader (not .bin from server, but generated loader)
Before pressing the Copy button, press More >> to reveal more options.
Check the box next to “Set permissions” and make sure the textbox has this text:
rwxr-xr-x
You can also enter the Octal code of 0755
b. Now connect to your Iphone (Using Putty )
Code:
IP Address: Check your current WiFi settings on your iPhone. (If you have trouble, try issuing a static IP.) Login Name: root Password: dottie Connection Type: SCP Port: 22
Then execute this command using Putty and rest of all the commands below:
Code:
/bin/launchctl unload -w/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
that will unload commcenter
c. now execute:
Code:
./iUnlock 314secpack (Your_IMEI).bin_loader
that will write seczone loader to phone.
d. now execute:
Code:
./bbupdater -v
You WILL GET ERROR “CAN’T PING TARGER”, THAT IS NORMAL !!!! MOST IMPORTANT THAT SECLOADER ARE RUN AND RESTORED SECZONE
e. to be sure, execute again ./bbupdater -v
f. Finally, write patched firmware in phone by executing:
Code:
./iUnlock 314secpack 314fls_correct
g. now execute:
Code:
./bbupdater -v
it MUST show correct version !
h. And finally, just to be sure:
execute:
Code:
./bbupdater -e eeprom.eep
that will write correct eeprom.
i. now execute:
Code:
/bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
OR
reboot your phone now – it is VIRGIN and UNLOCKED with gray’s “ignore mnc/mcc” method (used in anysim11)

8 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 23, 2007 at 8:03 pm
I had a terminal problem once. Try to restore the iPhone with itunes and then try it again
9 Nurburgring198 // Sep 23, 2007 at 10:28 pm
Ok, so i’ve made some progress but still not there. In terminal on the iPhone, when at the “/Lidrary/” part of the comand I just typed “/System/Lib” and at that point held my finger down on the screen (a little selection tool thingy pops up and u slide your finger to what you would like to select and then release) and slid it over the “TAB” function… this seemed to help with the fitting everything in there problem. I think however that even when our text was dissapearing before it wasn’t acctually canceling out it was just dissapearing off screen , so if you keep typing the comand and make suree your accurate every step of the way than it should end up correct, however I AM still having issue with the comand actually working.
Hope this help someone…
If you make any progress or can help me out please email me at nurburgring198@gmail.com
THANKS!
10 Nurburgring198 // Sep 23, 2007 at 10:31 pm
I should clarify, this is what I typed; “launchctl unload -w /System/Lib” then used my finger on mid screen and used the “TAB” function that pops up… That should give you some space to work with
But as I said, I believe that even when your text dissapears that it is still all there and continuing, just off screen……
Cheers
11 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 23, 2007 at 10:47 pm
you do not have to use the iPhone terminal. You can also use terminal on your mac or putty on the pc
12 Nurburgring198 // Sep 23, 2007 at 11:52 pm
Wait now I’m just confused. How would I commence to executing this in Terminal on my mac?
(Would use putty but it was a little above my head and it seams that using Terminal would be much easier)
I have; OSX 10.4.10 and iTunes 7.4.2 (4)
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
13 Nurburgring198 // Sep 23, 2007 at 11:58 pm
U are saying I do not have to use mobile terminal at all for this? I can do it in Terminal on OSX? Any other details I should know to accomplish this?
Thanks!
14 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 12:40 am
you have to make sure you install ssh on your iPhone and possibly bsd subsystem. Then you just log into your phone and carry out the commands
15 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 12:42 am
instead of mobile terminal I used “putty” and everything worked great!
16 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 12:47 am
Open the Terminal, and log into the iPhone via SSH. Type: ssh -l root (Your iPhone’s IP address) Then press enter/return. You will be asked for your password. The default is dottie. It will not display when you enter it. Type: cd /usr/bin.
then type launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
Then follow steps 7 and 8
17 Dr.Terrel // Sep 24, 2007 at 12:53 am
skip all this.
This worked for me.
First restore you phone in itunes.
power down, then power up, when grey apple shows up , press and hold the home & power till yellow triangle shows up.
—————————-
If you are using a pc, and like the AppTapp/PAYCAY/iBrickr – .pxl method this is the guide to use.
Files:
Download: http://sendspace.com/file/7phdz9

Download: http://www.nullriver.com/~adam/AppTappInstaller.exe

First off, I am doing this as a “From Box to Unlock” method. If you’ve f’ed up your iphone using some other method, i may be able to help, but this is what i have done, now 14 times, without a single issue.
Rule #1 – READ ALL INSTRUCTION STEPS BEFORE DOING THEM.
Rule #2 – have fun with your unlocked iphone.
1) Open Box. take out iphone… it should turn on…Turn it off (red slide).
2) Check to make sure itunes is ver 7.4.1.2. If not download it.
3) Close itunes. make sure ituneshelper is terminated in processes under the task
manager.
4) Plug usb cable into PC. plug other end in iphone, and as soon as the gray apple appears, hold power button and home button down at same time. Keep holding the buttons down. your iphone will reset itself 2-3 times before you get a yellow triangle.
5) Open itunes. It will say it needs to restore your iphone. hit restore iphone in itunes. this should take about 5 minutes(depending on pc i guess)
6) Wait for everything to finish, and it is back on the activation screen.
7) Close itunes. open up AppTapp. Click continue. Select 1.0.2. Hit continue.
****this is very important… i have seen were AppTapp hangs…it will say that it is copying files, but never does, or it will go thru it very fast…3 seconds or so, and says it is done…IT IS NOT. The way you can tell it actually works is if your iphone restarts and goes to the yellow triangle screen, then back to the activation screen.***(Also… AppTapp will complete, but the status bar won’t be all the way over to the right. This is fine, just a bit of bad coding.)
9) Open iBrickr. Click applications. Install the installer.pxl. follow these instructions on screen very carefully…you will have to completely restart your iphone twice during this process.
10) Go back to main screen on iBrickr, and press applications. Click file, select the Unlock-fast.pxl. Install it, and it will soft boot your phone when done.
11) keep phone connected to pc, move slide to get back to springboard. press the unlock icon near the bottom of the screen. press start ONCE!..wait… when it says complete at the top, press home button. Turn off iphone. take out ATT sim, hold it in the air and say ” This sim has been freed by The Liberator! AKA CarlosValdosta!!!”
12) Put in your sim, make sure that the slanted edge is in the right way.
13) Turn on your unlocked iphone.
14) Use iBrickr to remove the unlock.app. ( go to applications. look at fake iphone on right…click on little red circle next to unlock.app
17) Take the plastic off of the phone if you havent already.
16) Be the envy of all your friends.
Signing off… “The Liberator”…CarlosValdosta
18 Marcel // Sep 24, 2007 at 9:59 am
After putting the installer.app on my iPhone, it stops the sound, just with the phone plug that works. I don´t know what to do. Do you have some idea??
Thanks!!
19 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 10:13 am
Dr Terrel, thats a good guide, and is exactly the steps I have followed to unlock many phones as well, my issue is that I’ve effed one up somehow and I’ve determined through others experiences on the forums that I really do need to restore the actual baseband and firmware back to a factory state… So, until I can do that (aka “Virginize”) than any unlock seems absolutely ineffective.
@ L.E.iPhone, thanks you for the info in using ssh. Just to be clear, I can ssh into the iPhone from Terminal on my iBookG4?
Also, When entering the ssh command into Terminal and I get to the iPhone’s ip address are the (parentheses) required?
You are getting me SO d*mn close to having my head off of the chopping block! Thanks!
20 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 11:21 am
OK, I used terminal to ssh into my iPhone but now when I go to type “cd /usr/bin” it only lets me type 3 characters (”cd “, cd and one space) and it says “Connection to (i.p.add.ress) closed.” and I suppose it has loged me out of ssh :/ This is getting to be frustrating…
Anyone know why this is happening? Did I miss I vital prerequisite for running ssh in Terminal on my mac?
Please help
Thanks!
21 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 11:27 am
Nurburgring198 I had the same problem. I did a restore, activated, jailbroke, installed open ssh and bsd subsystem and then tried again and it worked.
22 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 11:29 am
Open the Terminal, and log into the iPhone via SSH. Type: ssh -l root 192.xxx.xxx Then press enter/return. OR whatever your IP is. You do not need parentheses
23 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 11:40 am
Ok thanks i’ll try restoring and doing it over again…. I haven’t slept in 36hrs
What method are you using to restore, activate, jailbrake, install BSD and SSH just so I’m sure that’s not what’s killing my process here…
I’m first restoring to 1.0.2 in iTunes
then using AppTapp installer to jailbreak. Then PACAY for activation.
Then I’ve been using iNdependence to install Dropbear SSH,SFTP, and SCP on iPhone. (maybe thats the wrong thing to use???)
Please let me know if something in there is f-ing me up or if there is a better way to get to the point of ssh’ing into the phone.
Thanksfor all you help! Is there a way to donate to you guys?
24 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 11:47 am
Also, just throwing this out there, saw on another forum someone claiming that on a mac in iTunes “alt+click” on restore will give you the option to choose version to restore to (1.0.1 or the others) and allegedly, if you are restoring/rolling back to another version of firmware than is currently on the iPhone, this should actually flash the baseband and modem firmware so that it is like “Virgin Restore”
Can any one confirm this or maybe have any feed back?
25 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Sorry I see that instead of the Dropbear ssh that was with iNdependence I should have used the OpenSSH that you referenced. When ur this tired it’s easy to make mistakes. Hopefully correcting this along with redoing the other steps will help. This time I used ibrickr to jailbreak as well so… crossed fingers
26 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 1:45 pm
after i type “chmod +x bbupdater” and hit enter, do I type “./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep” exactly and hit enter? Or are there other characters that I need to substitute in for the *’s ???
Almost there!
As always thanks!
27 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 2:03 pm

Nurburgring198 what is it your are actually trying to do? Unlock your phone?
29 Christian // Sep 24, 2007 at 2:16 pm
Do you have to use iBrickr to put the eep, fls files on the phone? Do you need ibrickr for anything that any winscp or terminal can´t do?
MobileTerminal-VT100-svn161.pxl, can use putty or terminal as well?
30 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 2:31 pm
you can use winscp or terminal and you can also use putty!!
31 Christian // Sep 24, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Have you any idea what can case a scenario like this;
When iphone is docked, the signal is just fine. But when I grab it in my hand the signal is lost, and “NO SERVICE” is displayed.
Strange…
32 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Yeah, I’ll steal someones CC soon…. Haha jk, I’ll definitely see what I can do in the next week
No I’m not really trying to Unlock this phone anymore. I really would just like to get it back working like factory so that the guy can use with his already existing At&t service…
When I used anySim (like I’ve done on all of my other unlocks with no problems!!) It gave me a message “Unable to locate bytes to patch” and now wont even work with att…
So basically, yes, I would like to be able to unlock it. However, within the hour I really just have to at least have it back to working with his already active att sim…
Or else…. I’ll feel like poop for making a paper weight outta his phone.
33 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 4:29 pm
Succefuly ssh’ed into phone. Botched something toward the end. Trying the whole process again and this time terminal is telling me “Warning: Remote Host Identification Has Changed!”
Host Key verification failed. Basically it’s saying that the DSA Host Key for my ip has changed and to Add correct host key in “/Users/me/.ssh/known_hosts” to get rid of this message.
I don’t even see that directory available on my mac?
Maybe if ssh on a different network I can get around actually having to fix this for the time being? Or perhaps someone knows the proper way to correct this?
Anyone know what I can do?
34 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 4:35 pm
Ok, I just change the ip the iphone was using and made it static, but still on same network. That got me ssh’ed back into phone. Trying bbupdater and all again.
35 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Ok, I swear, soon I will have no more questions.
Once you type “./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep and hit enter (step 7) how long should it take to complete before I restore with iTunes? It just seems like it is hanging at
“ProcessOutlineUpdate: Start downloading from file *.eep”
Nothing after that… Is that the end?Can I continue to step 8?
36 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 4:53 pm
yeah I think that is what I did.
37 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 4:54 pm
once you restore with itunes you should be good and can follow the unlocking guide
38 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 4:57 pm
If you are still having trouble. I could try logging into your iPhone and run the commands.
39 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 6:43 pm
After I thought it was frozen I went ahead and restored through iTunes. The phone seems to be back to factory/virgin…
The guy is bring over his At&t SIM to see if he can get his service back on it. We both still want to get this stubborn phone unlocked so he can use on tmobile, but I don’t want to try the anysim on this one anymore since EVERY time I run it it says “Could not locate bytes to patch” when it’s done. Then to restore everything and try AGAIN takes almost 2 hours…
Any other unlock method that would make a difference? OR do you thing that the reason it’s giving the “couldn’t find bytes error” every time is because something is going wrong in the Virgin/restore process??
40 Nurburgring198 // Sep 24, 2007 at 6:46 pm
Perhaps this all has something to do with what Antony Chavez had going on earlier in the posts?
Some phones unhackable? Or a limit on number of attempts???
41 Dr.Terrel // Sep 24, 2007 at 8:06 pm
how can you terminal in without wifi and not using that terminal app on ibrickr?
42 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 24, 2007 at 8:56 pm
I had the problem with the bytes error too. U did the virgin restore and then folloed the unlocking guide again and everything worked like a charm. You could do the manual unlicking process where you type commands in putty
Dr. You cannot do it without wifi. If you do not have wifi, you have to use mobile terminal
43 Dr.Terrel // Sep 25, 2007 at 1:23 am
do we type this also
“-w”
or does that separate the before and after lines.???
44 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 25, 2007 at 6:40 am
type “launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist” then hit enter
45 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 25, 2007 at 6:41 am
“launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist” is all one long line. there is a space after -w

Confirming that virginizing worked for me. Put the guys att SIM back in phone and hooked it up to HIS iTunes and it had the option to restore from his backup so his data would be back on it and all went smoothly.
He’s decided to bring it back to me in a couple of days and I’ll try to unlock again and now that I have the virginizing figured out, should anything go wrong with the unlock, no biggie!
I’m gonna try manual method now, since I get errors every time with anySim (has the manual method been confirmed more successful by others in this situation?) and will I ssh into the phone again through terminal or is putty required?
You rock! Thanks a ton!
48 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 25, 2007 at 1:52 pm
I think you can use terminal too. I used putty to manually unlock my phone the second we figured out a software method. The only problem is that it takes about 20 minutes compared to the anysim method that take only a few minutes. There may be a faster way to do it manually now though. But I have not had any problems with the anysim versions yet except for 1 which I just did a virgin restore and ran anysim again and that worked.
49 Nurburgring198 // Sep 25, 2007 at 2:03 pm
There is “Unlock_Reloaded” which is done using manual method i believe and since the “reloded” update to the original “Unlock” it claims to only take a few mins (I think 5…)
50 Nurburgring198 // Sep 25, 2007 at 2:04 pm
AnySim has had a lot of similar situations to mine come from its use…. I’m seeing it all over…. However some ppl seem to have no pronlems.

Guys, used a different unlock method and i think need to restore my iphone completely. I followed the instructions and installed all the files into the phone using ibrickr but now when i am in the iphone terminal and input the command launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
and hit return, it says no such process? Any ideas?
52 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 26, 2007 at 8:12 am
thats fine. move onto the next step now
53 cpyas11 // Sep 26, 2007 at 8:27 am
right and then after i iput the last command a long list comes down and the final words are “start downloading from file *.eep”.
From then i just exit the terminal and use itunes to restore the phone or do i have another command i must do? Thanks!
54 Nurburgring198 // Sep 26, 2007 at 8:36 am
cpyas, I initially was wondering the same thing about the end but we determined that WAS the end and its cool for you to go ahead and restore with iTunes I think.
55 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 26, 2007 at 8:43 am
Thats it your done. Just do the restore
56 Nurburgring198 // Sep 26, 2007 at 10:07 am
I have a new phone that has not been attempted to be unlocked but it HAS been activated for service with AT&T already. Can I proceed to Unlock, like it was just out of the box, without first making any additional steps?
57 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 26, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Just proceed like it is a new phone. I would personally restore it in iTunes first.

HELP I JUST UNLOCKED WITH NEW ANYSIM THEN HIT RESET ALL SETTINGS AND NOW THE PHONE IS STUCK ON ACTIVATION SCREEN SAYING INCORRECT SIM AND I WONT ACTIVATING USING ANY OF CRACKS OR HACK METHOD WHAT DO I DO?
59 Limited Edition iPhone // Sep 26, 2007 at 11:43 pm
use ibrickr and delete all of the files in lockdown and then follow these instructions: http://limitededitioniphone.com/youtube-not-working-on-your-iphone-steps-to-fix
60 Minstore // Sep 27, 2007 at 7:00 pm
You can upload any firmware if you have it in your computer
Open iTunes and Option- Click in teh restore button and it will prompt a window, so you can select the file.
So Simple
Good Look

I need to virgin restore my iphone because the vibrate function just stopped working all of a sudden and I want to return it to the Apple store I purchased it from. I unlocked using this method:
http://modmyiphone.com/wiki/index.ph…ck_OS_X_Part_1
Thus, I need a virgin restore for mac OSX. No ibricker was used in my process (Independence, Apptapp and Cyberduck)
Also, at the end of the unlock method it had me unistall openSSH via AppTapp so I don’t know where to go from here. PLEASE HELP! Also, I’m wondering if it will seem odd to the apple store that I know the vibrate function doesn’t work but the phone is completely at a factory state as if it’s never been activated???
Thanks in advance for ANY help.

76 Limited Edition iPhone // Oct 2, 2007 at 1:12 pm
are you using mobile terminal? terminal on mac? or putty?
77 teegray // Oct 3, 2007 at 3:27 am

79 Musab // Oct 3, 2007 at 11:13 am
the commands in terminal wont work for me, im using a mac and im using the terminal on the iphone im trying to do a virgin restore
80 Musab // Oct 3, 2007 at 11:15 am
when i use the terminal on my mac i cant login with the user name root. it always logs in with my own name followed up with my ip address so when i put in the password dottie it says incorrect password
81 Limited Edition iPhone // Oct 3, 2007 at 12:16 pm
check comment 16
82 Musab // Oct 3, 2007 at 12:43 pm
that doesn’t work for me because when i put in the password it says incorrect password because when it logs in the ssh it logs in under musabshaikh@XXX.XXX.X.XX instead of root@xxx.xxx.x.xx
83 Musab // Oct 3, 2007 at 12:47 pm
is there anyway to do it through cyberduck
84 Limited Edition iPhone // Oct 3, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Look up the IP address under your WiFi settings (click the blue right arrow next to the WiFi network you choose). Then from the Mac’s terminal, enter ssh root@IP address and use dottie as your password.
85 sneyepur23 // Oct 3, 2007 at 8:59 pm
I have been battling this iPhone for a while. I manged to unlock it succesfully, then one day i got a message saying “no wi-fi” tried all the instruction on how to restore it back, and nothing. Now i’m trying to completely restore my iPhone to virgin restore. I got passed the launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist But once i take the next command, it says permission denied. Any ideas?
86 daniel // Oct 4, 2007 at 2:47 pm
after i run ./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep, it returns with Malformed Mach-o file. What should I do?
87 Walter // Oct 4, 2007 at 11:45 pm
STRANGE SITUATION…my iPhone is not accepting “dottie” as password (nor “alpine”), eventhough I login as root. Also, from Mobile terminal I get a process ended whenever I try to type anything. Also iBRICKR, eventhough logs into the phone the install applications does not work anymore. I cannot get a warm boot after installation.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Walter
88 Walter // Oct 5, 2007 at 12:11 am
I restored my iPHONE. I had it jailbroken by iBRICKR. The SIM card did wok fine (because it has been unlocked before and I believe this is made on the baseband firmware…untouched then). I installed BSD subsystem…OK. After warm reboot I did a cold reboot. Same thing for binkit, Mobile terminal and OpenSSH. I can log into the phone using putty and password “dottie”. The session, though, ends after a few seconds. Same thing when accessed through Mobile terminal.
This problem is mounting up and up and getting more and more strange. All this I am doing to try and reflash the baseband which I do not access though.
Any hints?
Tks,
Walter

I had the same problem where the session ends after a few seconds usually after I type cd (space). I did a full restore in iTunes and then activated and installed bsd and ssh again and everything worked.

Its just not getting any better for me. I finally managed to get my phone to virgin mode, HOWEVER, when i tried to unlock, instead of a yellow triangle, i got the dreadful iTunes icon and cable. After figuring out that i had the wrong firmware, i ran apptapp and installed the 1.0.2 firmware. NOW, i get this message, Incorrect SIM, Insert an unlock and valid SIM to activate PLEASE HELP!!! I don’t want a 300 dollar paperweight.

I want to send my iphone in for repair so I need to restore my iphone back to its virgin state. the directions posted up there are for windows. are there any directions for mac? and is it truly virgin? as in the mac geniuses won’t be able to tell that it was unlocked?
94 Limited Edition iPhone // Oct 6, 2007 at 9:31 am
the mac version is pretty much the same just transfer the files over to your phone chmod them, and then run the commands in terminal or mobile terminal
95 Limited Edition iPhone // Oct 6, 2007 at 9:37 am
sneyepur23 you must of had firmware 1.1.1 and it is impossible to unlock the phone with that firmware unless you used ipsf before or use turbosim. The dev team is still working on the solution. The only thing you can do is downgrade to 1.02 which will give you a wifi ipod. No phone
96 slinky // Oct 7, 2007 at 7:45 pm
where is MobileTerminal-VT100-svn161.pxl
this file is not in any of the folders that are provided for download. thx
97 Limited Edition iPhone // Oct 7, 2007 at 8:01 pm
you can use mobile terminal, terminal on your mac, or putty on pc
98 outsing // Oct 10, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Hi,
I tried to follow the procedure above, but doing the (procedure #7) bbupdater one at a time on the .fls and .eep. I used putty in doing this. After the restore process (procedure #8), it gave me an incorrect sim. Tried ibrickr and still can go in but noticed that my IMEI has changed after checking settings/general/about/ on the iphone. I still got the 1.02 sversion and 03.14 firmware on it. My serial number starts from 7R737 xxxxxxx. I can still run ibrickr and PACAY with no problem. All else still seems to function other than the actual phone. Meaning, i got youtube, mail itunes sync and all.
Tried replacing the AT&T SIM card with another SIM card and still incorrect SIM.
Question:
If I try to re-flash again, will it give me back my IMEI or i’m stuck already with an ipod Touch? Also, is there a limit on flashing the baseband modem? How many?
Hoping for anyone to share their views on this.
Thanks.
99 Limited Edition iPhone // Oct 10, 2007 at 10:10 pm
have you had firmware 1.1.1 on before?
100 Iphone new 1.1.1 // Oct 11, 2007 at 3:13 am
Will this virgin works with 1.1.1? I just bought Iphone and all of them has 1.1.1 version. I have done downgrading to 1.0.2, then pacai, ibricker, and iunlocker. Can I restore to virgin if I done those steps above? I try to restore to 1.0.2 through ITunes, it gives me error 1013. Then I try to restore through 1.1.1 and it work (previously has error as well). Does it means my 1.1.1 has back to factory setting? Thanks

105 Miharbi // Oct 18, 2007 at 11:12 pm
Hi there I am following this very keenly. Can confirm that this method of virginizing will bring my phone to its original factory settings, so that I can upgrade to 1.1.1 and use the dev teams method to unlock and jailbreak 1.1.1.
I am not a master at command line interfaces, but I do try to get by. So I am not very comfortable at trying this cos I spent a fortune to get my iphone. at least $650 for everything including shipping at customs duty. Thats kinda cheap comparing to what others at my country (Maldives) are paying for this beauty.(some paying around $1000-900).
PS I got my iphone unlocked, so I don’t know what method of unlocking has been used. And is there any way to find out that.
Thanks.

I though that if I just did a restore it would fix it but I have now read that I need to Flash the baseline code. I have also upgraded to the newest firmware that was just released. Is there an easy one step process that I can do to get my phones baseline code flashed. IM not a programmer and pretty lame at most of this. Can anyone give me a suggestion? Thanks Very Much!

Hi,
I have been following up these blogs quite interestingly. A friend of mine have unlocked iphone and while sync. with itunes, he accidently activated restore iphone function. Now whenever he starts phone, it asks to connect with itunes indicating the yellow triangle. When connected to itunes, it says it needs to restore the phone.
I saw several methods to restore the iphone, but hesitant to as I dont know if the phone would become renderless. Many procedures seems to be quite complicated as I do not have so much knowledge. Is’nt there a simpler way to do it, just click & go?
Please someone help me. I use win xp sp2. Thanks in advance.

Div are you trying to restore or virginize your iphone? they are 2 different things. You need to virginize if you have unlocked or tried to unlock your phone and want to upgrade. You can safely do a restore with an unlock phone by holding down shift and pushing the restore button to select the firmwear you currently have.

jailbreak it first with ibrickr
126 Limited Edition iPhone // Nov 21, 2007 at 12:08 pm
2)Download and install ibrickr and restore the phone to an unactivated state.
3) Kill iTunes related processes.
4) Jailbreak your iPhone following ibrickr’s instructions.
5) Download and unpack this file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/55289251/PACAY__by_brasuco_.rar.html or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O8W10E2C
6) Extract the files to a folder and run “(CLICK HERE)activate.bat” and wait. You will have a fully activated iPhone with Youtube. Credit goes to brasuco, Darkmen, and Deleonju

@ Limited Edition iPhone.. Is this ‘ How Do I Restore My iPhone To Factory “Virgin” State? ‘ Instruction is for Windows PC or MAC PC?
Saluti..
139 Burrell94 // Mar 31, 2008 at 10:56 pm
I have an unlocked i-phone that was unlocked witht he Apptapp and ibrkr. However I did not do it. The person who did is unavailable now and it locked up on me went into the restore mode.
I am wondering what I need to do to keep using it on tmobile. Do I restore through Itunes and then go through the jailbreak again or is it easier than this?
Any help would be appreciated.
140 Limited Edition iPhone // Apr 1, 2008 at 12:00 am
just restore it and then use ziphone to activate it.
141 adp // Apr 23, 2008 at 12:28 pm
question. So I have a 1.1.4 phone that I ziphone’d it. Now I want to virgin it again because 7,8,9 keys and that area doesn’t seem to function properly all the time, it works fine when I’m in a call and access the keypad or voicemail and access the keypad it works fine. Same thing goes when I restore the phone and goes into emergency number mode.
Also if it’s been restored I can’t access the phone but my t-mobile sim is still recognized and I can still receive calls…. any help would be great. Thanks!

Hi Guys, I upgraded my iphone to 2.2.1 firmware and got locked. By mistake, I didn’t backup any data and restored to factory settings using itune. Dumb thing that i never done. However, it is prompting me to insert valid SIM. I cannot do anything else. All applications are gone. This phone was unlocked from Vedafone carrier. I live in USA and use T-Mobile.
Please help me to get back to 2.2. How can I get all default applications that comes with Iphone? If I can get back to 2.2 firmware, I can unlock it again using yellowsn0w. Please send me your comments riad83@yahoo.com
