These are step by step instructions how to jailbreak and unlock almost any iPhone instantly! No downgrading then upgrading! You can do the unlock from 1.1.2 or 1.1.3. It will also jailbreak and activate as well as install Installer.app for you!

- Imei changer will work ONLY on 4.6 BL (112 and 113 ootb).
- Unlock will work on 3.9BL and 4.6BL
- Jailbreak will work on any OS version.
- Activation will work on any OS version, except for youtube on 1.0.X.

Easier GUI Version of this tutorial can be found here:
How to Unlock Your iPhone With ZiPhone GUI for Windows

Perform these steps with your iPhone on and connected to your computer.

Step One
Download ZiPhone from: here

Step Two
Double click ZiPhone.zip on your desktop to extract the folder ZiPhone..

Step Three
Press the Windows key and R at the same time to bring up the Run window. Type in cmd and press the Ok button to launch the Command Prompt.

Step Four
Type the following command into the Command Prompt to navigate to the ZiPhone directory:
cd Desktop/ZiPhone.

Step Four
Execute the command ziphone -Z A: to see all its possible uses.

Step Five
The program will prompt you to put your iPhone into recovery mode. To do this please hold down both the Sleep/Wake and Power buttons until you see the Apple logo. Once the Apple logo appears release only the Sleep/Wake button until you see the iTunes logo and cable on the screen.

Step Six
If you have a 4.6 BL iPhone you can now activate, jailbreak, and unlock! Just simply type in this command:
ziphone -a -j -u

Step Seven
The program will now search for zibri.dat. Then it will search for the iPhone. Once found it will tell you to wait for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Step Eight
After this time your iPhone will reboot and it will be activated, jailbroken, and unlocked!!!!

NOTE*: After completion its probably a good idea to install BSD Subsystem first then OpenSSH from Installer.app

NOTE*: If you are in an unsupported country YOU MUST patch AppSupport after unlocking or your dialer will keep crashing as will your SMS:

Will this method bypass iCloud Actication Lock? Or atleast find the icloud account to which it is linked to?

in ziphone, use commande "ziphone -d" that will put your iphone in the correct mode for -a-j-u

Peter - February 19, 2008 at 8:35am

After entering command ziphone -u -a -j (or with any other ziphone options) I receive the following status Searching for iPhone... USBMuxListenerCreate: No error and it lasts forever. iPhone looks to be in recovery mode. Please help.

@mille: Have you tried the "cold start", i.e. holding home/shutoff for ca. 10 secs for the power off slide to appear?

wombat - February 16, 2008 at 10:52am

WARNING: THE ZIPHONE MAY RUINEN YOUR IPHONE I had a jailbrocken Iphone OTB 1.1.2 (used as an ipod touch) I tried the following: 1.) Upgraded to 1.1.3 via iTunes 2.) Put the iphone in recover mode and started: ziphone -a -j -u This was hanging in "Please wait 2'30" for more then a hour (the apple logo was blinking, could indicate the iphone was rebooting) I interupted the ziphone, Now I have 100 % usless iphone, showning the apple logo, it does not even response on the power off button, any ideas on how to make it response again, in order restore it from iTunes?

jonny - February 14, 2008 at 5:46pm

@ keets28 thanks. It worked!!! BTW it is very important that you connect the USB of recovery mode iphone to the computer after you run the GUI program izphone 2.0 and display shows "searching for iphone...". Iclarified please note this and add it in the proper step.

keets28 - February 14, 2008 at 8:25am

can someone please try to log on to www.hackintOsh.org and tell me if it's down or not?

How do you replace v1.0 files with v2.0 files seeing as though i just saved everything to my desktop, i just dropped it in the recycle Bin but v1.0 is still coming up everytime i download v2.0

jonis - February 14, 2008 at 8:14am

is it just 2 put the sim in after this procedure?

keets28 - February 14, 2008 at 1:07am

yeah you will but you will unlock it with ziphone again. it's locked now right? when you put it in recovery mode itunes will detect it and ask you to restore it and click yes. then run ziphone 2.0 again.

jonny - February 14, 2008 at 12:50am
