Excellent app, I just try it on a otb 1.1.2 restored to 1.1.3 with itunes and executed the -a -j command and everything works but it remains in the emergency dial screen? I do not want to unlock it since I'm using a ATT sim card but not on an iphone plan? How can I jailbreak it and activate only?

Hey Guys. I've got a OOB 1.1.3 unlocked in India, and I am able to send/received SMS and received phone calls. For some reason I can't call out. Anyone have any ideas? I tried iWorld, but it seems to only work in 1.1.2. I also tried the WinSCP method of patching appSupport. No luck with that. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 1.1.2 OTB HW unlocked. Recently I've upgraded it to 1.1.3 (did a restore) but after activate and jailbreake using ZiPhone its WiFi acting kind of weird. After a successfully connecting to an Ad-Hoc it will disconnect when i press the home button. I reseted the network settings but nothing happened.

BTW, my phone is a 1.1.2 OTB, I had killed all itunes stuff from the task manager and been monitoring the services. ziphone.ex is using 2684K of memory and AppleMobileDeviceService.exe 788K. Cheers.

Hi guys I am running vista, and did the ziphone -u -a -j, it went all the way to show me Please wait 2'30. but it has been seating there for about 25min and nothing has happened. The phone rebooted at first I guess it is part of the work it is doing, and during this time the screen has flash about 2 times, that I have notice, but still sitting in the apple icon. Is there any way to know this is still working or how to stop and try again? I really appreciate any help.

oli did you install bsd system, udate sources, and install openssh before you tried installing other apps?

Make sure you quit ituneshelper.exe from task manager as that stops the phone being jailbroken! I tried on my 1.1.3 16GB OTB five times before I quit ituneshelper and then installer finally popped up! I would add that NOT ALL apps are working on this jailbreak - I don't know if its my phone or because they are not made to work with this new jailbreak method?!

Well I completed everything and said done, but I don't see customizer and other stuff? Was I suppose to unlock it as well, if I had a legit ATT account?

After hours spent on the Dev Team's Tutorials, ending in a not 100% working iphone (installer was not installing with script execution failure error..) THE BEST WAS ZIBREE'S SOLUTION with ziphone -u -a -j . I followed JAS advice (read comments..) : restored back to a clean 1.1.3 my OOTB phone and used ziphone from a dos window. ALL went OK in a few minutes !!! My phone is working now unlocked and jailbroken as expected. Thanks to ZIBREE and iClarified for the GOOD Tutorials. Well Done !
