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.

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!

    When I get to step 8 in the first part of the guide it just flicks back to the emergency dial screen do I need to put my vodaphone sim in or leave the AT & T sim in to begin with?
    Thx

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    leave the att sim in to begin

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    Quang have you already tried unlocking your phone before following this guide?

  • Quang

    yes.my phone was unlocked. But I already did all the step to make my phone to virgin mode . Then I upgrade to 1.1.1firmware and started to unlock. However I am not so sure that my phone in the virgin mode or not because it didn’t say anything when I finish all the step to change my phone to virgin.
    Thanks

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    make sure you chmod all the files in anysim.app too

  • Andres

    Is mandatory to have an AT&T sim inside to run the process? If you buy the iphone in an apple store, does an AT&T sim insede even if you didn’t buy any at&t line?

    After running this process, will we be able to install third party apps using apptap?

    Regards

  • phillips

  • bole

    can i use this tutorial if my iPhone came with 1.0.2 firmware? i didn’t try to unlock it. I upgrade it to 1.1.1 firmware.
    please help.

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    Bole yes this guide is for you as long as you have never tried to unlock your phone with 1.02 and are running 1.1.1 firmware now.

  • swiss dude

    In the instructions above to jailbreak iphone 1.1.1, after having downloaded anySim v1.1, it says :
    ” Make sure both the folder anySim.app and the file inside that folder named anysim are chomodded to 0755″ … what does that mean ???

  • mark

    Thanks for the guide! Although a complex process, this is the first guide I could find to unlock via windows for the 1.1.1 version. and it works a treat.

    One developmental comment: you have put a link to a zip
    (http://d.turboupload.com/d/2098918/unlock111.zip.html)
    quite near the end of the tutorial; given this zip has all the tools needed, maybe put it at the beginning, otherwise very useful and it is great folks are willing to take the time to write tutorials for others to use.

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    you have to set the file permissions to 0755. Use winscp on pc or cyberduck on mac

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    Mark that link is also at the top of the post (1st link)

  • QUANG

    When i used anysim to unlock it said that “unlock sucessfull”, then i went through all the step to activate my phone. However my iphone is still can not use tmobile. Do you know why?

  • swissdude

    i’ve tried now 3 time to jailbreak the iphone with touchfree…. i still get the activate with iTunes when i turn my phone on instead of the springboard …. what can I do?

  • swissdude

    i’ve also tried restoring the iphone with itunes before jailbreaking like the touchfree readme says but i can’t restore it it says : ” The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occured (-18). ” whats going on ???

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    swissdude did you do this:// 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 : http://www.slovix.com/touchfree/touchfree-alpha.exe)

    also you have a virgin 1.1.1 correct?

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    try putting it into restore mode before restoring: hold down the middle button and the power button to power the phone on

  • swissdude

    i’ve tried both versions of touchfree and it doesn’t work… and yes i have a virgin iphone, I only used touchfree to jailbreak it

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    did you navigate to http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com/ and have safari crash and go back to the please activate screen?

  • swissdude

    yes… then I went to step 2 of touchfree… it did all of its work… (patching iphone, writing, blablabla) then I restored it like it is said to do, but no springboard !

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    nevermind thats just for jailbreaking you need to activate

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    1. MAKE SURE YOUR IPHONE HAS THE CORRECT MODEM FIRMWARE:
    1.1. Go to Emergency call and dial *3001#12345#*
    1.2. On the Field Test page click versions. Firmware version should be 04.01.13_G (if not well, we are going to upgrade in Step 2, come back and check after that)

  • Peter

    Thanks for the guide… it works great. You need to follow every step carefully. I read it couple times to make sure I understand every thing before I do it. it worked on my first try.

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    swissdude try restarting your phone again after you completed

  • swissdude

    Ok thanks I’ll that and I give you further news !

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    also before beginning using Task Manager (ctrl-alt-delete) end ITunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe)

  • swissdude

    i have 04.01.13_G frimware version

  • swissdude

    and I have carefully read the instructions… so I don’t think a forgot some little detail like checking my firmware version but thanks for the tip… what should i do now to activate it ? (by the way I just checked the firmware version just to be sure its the good one and after having dialed *3001#12345#* … I saw for a fraction of a second the springboard and home page… and then it went to the field test as usual… is this a good sign or something ? )

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    there must be one step you are missing. Have you ever tried unlocking your phone on 1.02 firmware?

  • swissdude

    No I haven’t tried. So you’re saying I Should downgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 and then unlock it with touchfree and anySim v1.1 ?

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    No. I am just confirming that you have a virgin out of the box 1.1.1 iphone and that your baseband is not modified or corrupt. Do a restore in itunes. kill all itunes process and go through the process again. If you still get the activate screen and the end, restart your phone 1 more time.

  • swissdude

    I am unable to do a restore my iphone with iTunes, even if I put the iphone on restore mode ( pressing home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time)
    I have the latest version of iTunes

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    you have to be able to restore… are you sure you have not modified your phone before?

  • Limited Edition iPhone

    do you have another computer to try and restore on?

  • swissdude

    yes im sure i havent tried to modify my phone before…. i’ll try on my other computer good advice

  • swissdude

    alright i finally got to restore it, jailbreak and activate with touchfree! I now see the springboard ! Off to the next step!

  • swissdude

    i got an “network error: Connection refused” when i used Winscp to login. what to do now ?
