ZiPhone

I decided to give jailbreaking 1.1.3 another chance. This time I decided to use ZiPhone instead of Nate True’s soft update. I started out with a jailbroke 1.1.1 (jailbroke using jailbreakme.com). I tried upgrading through iTunes to 1.1.3 but it wouldn’t let me, so I restored to original 1.1.1 and then upgraded to 1.1.3 using iTunes. I tried the new ZiPhone 1.1 but when the iPhone would restart it would just stick at the Apple logo. I found in a tutorial by iClarified.com, that ZiPhone 1.0 might work for me since I was having the stuck at Apple logo problem. It worked but I can’t get YouTube to work… So here’s the file: ZiPhone 1.0 and here’s the steps:

1. download the zip file for ZiPhone 1.0
2. extract the zip file
3. get your iPhone’s USB cord and dock and plug them into your computer, not the iPhone yet
4. open the ziphoneGUI.exe file
5. press and hold the home button on the iPhone and insert it into the dock while continuing to hold the home button until connect to iTunes logo appears (then let go of home button)
6. select the jailbreak and activate options on the ZiPhone program
7. click start.
8. you will wait around 45 seconds, then the iPhone will restart with Installer.app!

I was going to make a video but it was way to confusing the first time. I will record it when I jailbreak Brooke’s iPhone very soon!

  1. And about Unlock ??? The new AnySim 1.1.3 will work ???
    I´m from Brasil and i would like to know Douglas…
    Thx for the info,
    Best regards, Olivetti Herrera

  2. how do you upgrade through itunes? do i need to revirginize my 1.1.1?

  3. i am on OTB1.1.1 also… now my phone is 1.1.1 unlocked using anysim…

    this 1.1.3 JB n unlock (with new baseband and BL) is tempting…

    whats stopping me is my previous OLD BL which i dun wanna lose…

    is 1.1.3 worth it?

    if so, anyone knows how to bring my 1.1.1 OTB to 1.1.3 OTB and then apply ziphone? detailed steps?

    thanks

  4. i hope the video you make is of a 1.1.3otb iphone

  5. I am not able to use this method. Mine gets stuck at Please wait 45″ and then when I restart it just hangs on the Apple Logo. When I go into verbose mode I get a BSD error looping over and over. Anybody find a fix for this?

  6. @josh: maybe this helps: “By the way, after restore the phone must be shutdown and rebooted before running ziphone (maybe you missed this step)” -zibri

  7. my iphone has the apple logo and will not show up on the computer
    could anybody help

  8. Hi everyone,

    I tried this method and everything went smoothly. I got the intaller app to be installed on the phone. I noticed that my Youtube will not connect! Its given me a “Cannot connect to YouTube” error. Anyone know how to fix this problem? And anyone else who used the ziphone program having the problem with YouTube?

    • Hey,
      today March 1st 2008 I used the Ziphone 2.5. It went great.. but then you tube came up with the same error: cannot connect ???

  9. To get youtube to work on my 1.1.3, I installed the YouTube Fix package from the LimitedEditioniPhone.com source. It says it is for 1.1.2 but it worked for me.

  10. Hey thanks for the reply. I’ll try that out and post the results

  11. so locate me can be fixed with navigps. and youtube can be fixed with the youtube fix package? any other bugs/solutions?

  12. @Alex and those wanting to know about unlocking – None of us have an otb 1.1.3 iPhone, nor do we have a testing iPhone to attempt unlocking. We would love to tests this kind of stuff for you guys, but lack an extra iPhone. If you’d like to support our cause, and help with the purchase of a testing iPhone, please Donate! You can find the donate link on the contact page.

  13. @alex – as long as everything works with 1.1.3 before you use ZiPhone, everything will continue to work after you use ZiPhone.

  14. I just installed that application and i still get the “Cannot connect to YouTube” error

  15. @jacob. i dont have an iphone yet, getting it in a few days, 16gb iphone 1.1.3otb 4.6BL. i didnt mean that stuff stops working after using ziphone on a already working iphone. i mean on a new iphone, doing activate + jailbreak + unlock. i will try it, dont know if i should use cmd or gui. so i will let you know how it goes.

  16. @Alex – please do let us know. I would suggest the GUI, it is basically the same thing, just easier to use. And i understand, I was assuming an AT&T iPhone, but your right, there is no way to test an iPhone you plan on unlocking.

  17. @Chris…Doug is having that issue as well. He is still trying to get it figured out…as soon as he does, I will post the solution!

  18. ziphone 1.2 is out!!!! “It now unlocks both 4.6 and 3.9 BL.
    And it’s autosensing.. just use -u !”

  19. I upgraded with instructions above without any problems. (1.0 Version) Now, I have the youtube issue and just noticed my mail doesn’t work also? any one else have the mail problem?

  20. maybe this helps chriss amd doug: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7y_JBwUtIo

  21. I’m not sure if I’m just missing it but will this work if you have a 1.1.1. jailbroken (installer with apps) otb iPhone and want to go to 1.1.3? I would really love to keep all my apps and themes. So is this the way to go?

  22. I’ve tried it 7 times now. Step by step. I’ve even tried different ways of executing the process. With itunes.help turned off, itunes left on, and itunes program off. I run ziphone and wait, after it says done it reactivates but with no installer app. Anyone else having this problem. I also ran activate-jailbreak, and also tried jailbreak-verbose boot. Still no app. Any suggestions would be appreciated =/

  23. Ps. I’m running this on a restored 1.1.3 iphone that was restored and rebooted via itunes 7.6……

  24. I used the 1.0 version of ZiPhone and my phone was stuck on the apple logo screen would not boot up…so i retored it
    i am on a 1.1.3 bl 3.9 i am pretty sure week 40…so could you please help me out….it is activated with AT&T cant wait to see this video

    what i did to put mine in resotre mode was slide the power off and then kept holding the home button while connecting to the computer…

  25. ziphone 2.0!!!

    set your iphone in the airplain modus when you start anysim!!

  29. my programm is not ziphone but is from this guys
    http://ijailbreak.com/

  30. to get youtube to work, I used ziphone -j without the -a since i have AT&T, and it worked fine…

  31. likwidfuzion says

    For those stuck at the Apple logo, use the ZiPhone Shell by Unlock.no at http://iphone.unlock.no

    It worked better for me.

    My setup: AT&T activated, jailbroken 1.1.1; BL 3.9 (doesn’t really apply to me, but fyi)

    1. Restored to 1.1.3
    2. Let iTunes go through the activation process
    3. Turned off iPhone
    4. Held down Home button
    5. Put my iPhone on the dock while still holding onto Home button
    6. Let go of the Home button as soon as the Apple logo disappears and the Recovery mode screen appears
    7. Ran ZiPhone Shell from Unlock.no
    8. Checked Jailbreak option (didn’t need Activate or Unlock since I’m AT&T customer)
    9. Let ZiPhone Shell do it’s thing and once my iPhone rebooted, I was up and running jailbroken 1.1.3 with 4.03 baseband

  32. My phone was OTB 1.1.2 but upgraded to 1.1.3

    Can I use the Mac version of ZiPhone to jailbreak my iPhone? Will it work for me?

    I have no idea what version of boot loader is on my phone.

  33. You can also find a video here on how to do it. I followed the 3rd video which was for the iTouch and it worked for me, however I lost my Youtube. I’ve tried the Youtube fix, but that did not work. Also having trouble getting my eMail working again.

    http://zibree.blogspot.com/2008/02/ziphone.html

  34. I did this and it worked fine, but youtube wont work and the fixes they have on the installer dont help.

  35. @Johnblaze: it doesn’t matter what version of boot loader you have. This will work to jailbreak your 1.1.3.

  36. Thanks Doug, that’s all I wanted to know.

  37. If your YouTube is not working, after jailbreaking with ZiPhone, check out our new post about ZiPhone.

  38. I can get it to jailbreak and activate on 1.1.3 but I don’t have service. I have an at&t sim in the phone and it won’t acknowledge that there is any sim in the phone and that I have service. any suggestions?

  39. now there is a new version of ijailbreak and this is for ALL the iphone’s
    3,9 and 4,6 bl
    this is the download http://code.google.com/p/ijailbreak/downloads/detail?name=iJailBreak0.5.3.zip&can=2&q=

  40. Ziphone Jailbreak was really quick for the most part successful but a lot of the apps I’ve installed are either not working properly or not working at all. Here’s a short list but there’s more. How do I go about trouble shooting apps in general?

    Screenshot (via dock) – does not work, Downloaded another app called Screenshot and that doesn’t work either.

    Apollo – won’t log into my AIM account (message: could not connect to aithentication server, Do I need to enter the name of AIMs server , if so don’t know what it is)

    Customize – sometimes will launch fine but at times will launch then close on it’s own

  41. hey will this work with an ipod touch?

  42. @Rob…according to the Zibri’s (the creator of ZiPhone) blog it should work on a iPod Touch (but, there have been mixed results)…HERE is a link to his blog, check it out and see what you think.

  43. Please do not link to posts or files !

    ZiPhone is updated almost every day!

    Always link to: http://www.ziphone.org !

    Enjoy !

  44. Hi, I have an iPhone:

    1. 1.1.2. OTB (used to be)
    2. most likely with the new bootloader (4.6)
    3. unactivated

    I tried the “old” wayy to prepare for unlocking:
    1. downgraded to 1.1.1.

    The I spotted ZiPhone.

    My Questions:
    1. Should I in an y ways activate the phone beforehand?
    2. I saw a video where the phone could be restored to 1.1.3. with Shift-Restore.
    3. Is it possible.

    Can I use a SIM-adapter+SIM installed? Would it matter?
    Will I be able to use my SIM alone eventually?

    Thanks

  45. Hi, I need some help with my iphone.
    I accidentally update i phone through i tunes. when i use ibreak it shows the greel colur. What’s the best way to correct this problem?

  46. I used ziphone 2.2 and the only problem i have is I can’t seem to hear audio through the speakers when using youtube or ipod function. i still hear my ringers and if I use headphones I can hear audio on youtube and ipod with no problem. also when I have no audio, I get a popup message saying this accessory is not intended for iphone,and it asks me if I would like to turn on airplane mode.

  47. in addition, I restored to factory,and took it into apple store thinking they could figure it out. They tried telling me I have water damage,and I told them that if the phone had got water on it I would have got water on me to,as it never leaves my side.They pulled out some lightscope and shined it down the headphone jack and said there is an indicator in there and if it turns pink that means that there is water damage,they had me look and I personally couldn’t see any pink and think that just cause I bought the phone used they didn’t want to honor the warranty on it.

  48. In response to the post Andy put up,if you use ziphone 2.2 you do not need to use any sim adaptor like turbosim or anything of the like and can use just your sim card.
