Instructions on how to unlock your 1.1.2 OTB and 1.1.3 OTB iPhone!
These instructions assume that you have already jailbroken the particular firmware you would like to be on. This works from 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 firmware! You can find instructions on how to do that here:
Also, you can only follow these instructions if you are on a 4.6 BL iPhone. This means that your iPhone came with 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 Out of the Box. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DO THIS ON A 3.9 BL IPHONE!
IMPORTANT*: You must have enough disk space free on your iPhone to install this package. Otherwise Installer may display a beach ball and then crash to the Springboard. You need space free on your ROOT file system. Your root file system is about 267M-300M in size. Its NOT the 7.3G file system! A tutorial on how to do this can be found here
Finally, you need BSD Subsystem Installed from Installer app (System Category). This most likely will already be installed especially if you did the 1.1.3 soft update...
If you have 1.1.3 OTB follow the downgrade link above to downgrade and jailbreak your iPhone.
Step One Add iClarified to your Installer sources. You can find instructions on how to do that: here
Step Two Press the Settings icon on your Springboard.
Step Three Press to select General from the Settings list.
Step Four Press to select Auto-Lock from the General Menu.
Step Five Press to select Never from the Auto-Lock Menu.
Step Six Press the Home button to return to your Springboard. Press the Installer icon to launch Installer app.
Step Seven Press to select the Install tab at the bottom of the screen.
Step Eight Press to select iClarified from the list of Categories.
Step Nine Press to select Geohot Unlock(1.1.2, 1.1.3) from the list of Packages.
Step Ten Press the Install button at the top right hand corner.
Step Eleven Press the large red Install button that appears.
Step Twelve You will receive notice that process will take 5 minutes and you must have Auto-Lock set to Never. If you have already done this then you can press the large OK button.
Step Thirteen You will see a status of Starting the unlock.... You will also lose Wi-Fi during this time. The phone will stay on this status for a few minutes.
Step Fourteen You will then receive a Notice saying "Your iPhone has now been unlocked!". Press the large OK button!
Step Fifteen You will be returned to the Categories Menu. Press the Home button to return to your Springboard.
You are done! Unlocked iPhone :) Huge thanks go to Geohot for developing this. He truely is a genius. You can donate to him: here.
NOTES**: I personally tested this on my 1.1.2 OTB iPhone which was DEV updated to 1.1.3! Also it has been tested on 1.1.3 OTB by Viper! (Thanks!).
Also, if you are having a problem with your dialer crashing after this tutorial, it is likely that you are in an unsupported country. Either install iWorld from Installer or preferably add your country to AppSupport. You can do this by following this tutorial: How to Add an Unsupported Country to App Support

I unlocked my phone about 5 months ago and then one morning i tried using it and it crashed and now it is stuck on the iClarified screen. Every 5 to 6 mins it trys to restart itself until the battery dies, so what should i do. Because the computers i try to unlock it with doesn't even notice that my phone is connected. i want my phone to work.
how do i get the installer icon back on the home screen on my iphone version 1.1.2. i installed 2 games and sim car reader and these replaced the installer icon but now can not i any more, where is it?
i am not able to turn the keyboard Sounds OFF! Everytime I leave the tones menu, the are automatically turner in again. Has someone any Idea tor solviing this problem? Thx!
Works Great! Just jailbroke and unlock my iphone 1.1.2 took about an hour to go through the process. Had to redo a couple of steps but it worked and the best part is it was all done for free!
Thanks iClarified for this tutorial...
I just bought an iPhone yesterday (Mar 07) and it came with 1.1.3 OTB, so I went to iTunes and Restore to 1.1.3 (I didn't know why but I did it!) then I set it on recovery mode and execute ZiPhone 2.0 with the options Activate, Jailbreak and Verbose; once it finished, I installed BSD Subsystem and OpenSHH, then I followed this tutorial and that's all... an 1.1.3 OTB iPhone uncloked!
Thanks again!
the phone get stuck wen in the process of unlocking....it goes half way the the "Starting the unlock..." and then nothing happens...it resets to the apple logo...
@aditya - you need to find out about the address for the BigBoss souce : I can see only part of the address... http://sleepers.net/iphone - not sure if it's longer than that.
There is also a program called fix disc that is supposed to move files too but I have never used it.
I hope that helps
@ aditya - If you cannot find BossTool then add the source modmyifone.com and then refresh all your sources.
@ kiran - try resetting all your settings - Settings --> General --> Reset
I hope that helps
Dear Sir ,
I have 1.1.2 phone and am staying in india , i unlocked the iphone and installed BSD subsystem , the Patch for unsupported countries and then volume patch
but the problem with my phone is as soon as i recharge the phone , the phone becomes hot
after that the volume during calls is very low , some times only i can receive the calls , and if i reply to them , they say that the voice is very low or muted and viceversa
is there any problem with the software or settings , if there is any solution please mail me thanq
(you people are doing great job )
cheers
kiran
thanks for all this, iClarified.
i have a 1.1.2 (OTB) and successfully unlocked with this method. there is, however, one problem. after sliding to unlock the phone sometimes freezes for a couple of seconds or displays the ipod bar. any ideas what i should do? thanks.
