Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for taking the time to register with us. We would like to
update you on the progress with the unlock for all out of the box
1.1.2 firmware iPhone's. There are a lot of rumors about the possible
release of the 1.1.2 full unlock, this is the current situation and
the direction we will take on its release.

It looks like Apple may release a new version of its firmware next
week, we have an idea of what it contains and are hopeful this will
help to complete the full unlock process for all 1.1.2 out of the box.
The development team will be working over the Christmas period and
will work on any new firmware released straight away to try and offer
the unlock as soon as possible.

When the unlock is released, we will offer the option to purchase the
unlock to customers who have registered with us before we offer it to
the general public. We will follow the process listed below

When the 1.1.2 Unlock is released

* Email will be sent to you to give notice that the 1.1.2 unlock is
about to be released.
* Email sent with link to purchase the unlock and for you to add your
IMEI number
* When purchased via the special link, we will email a confirmation
that your IMEI number has been added to the server and its possible to
complete the unlock process. You will also be sent on the same email
instructions on how to complete the full 1.1.2 unlock.

We will be working over the Christmas period to offer customer
support, and of cause ready if the 1.1.2 unlock is to be released.

Please do not purchase the 1.1.2 out of the box full unlock until it
is released.

What you should do to prepare for the 1.1.2 Full unlock.

* Make sure you have your IMEI 15 digit number (starting with 011), it
can be found on the rear of the iPhone. Double check it is 15 digit,
you need to quote this number on the PayPal check-out payment page.
* Check the firmware the iPhone currently has on the iPhone (how to
check your firmware is on the bottom of our website opening page)
* If you have friends or family who need the unlock, please ask them
to register though the website.

Please rest assured we are trying to get the 1.1.2 unlock released as
soon as possible, for all the enquires we have received thank you

WHEN THE NEW FIRMWARE IS RELEASED BY APPLE, PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE UNTIL
WE CONFIRM ITS SAFE TO DO SO.

1.1.2 iPhone out of the box - The following Countries and networks are
running this firmware
UK o2, Germany T-Mobile, France Orange, USA AT&T.

Lets make this really SIMPLE..... N00BS READ THIS.... PLEASE !!!!!!

Difference between ACTIVATE, JAILBREAK and UNLOCK

>>>> ACTIVATE = you get past the damn connect to itunes logo, and can actually go in the main menu of the iphone... the menu is the one with the little icons... different colors... its like you have an AT&T account and you have ACTIVATED it with itunes;

>>>> JAILBREAK = You modify the damn thing so you can install third party apps in it.

>>>> UNLOCK = you install a third party APP, (OMG thats why we need to jailbreak it first !!! :eek: it finally makes sense !!! :rolleyes: ) when you RUN this app, it will modify (i will not get into details) your phone so it will work with any GSM carrier in the world.

What is OTB ?

>>>> OTB = brand new, out of the box, virgin, untouched, unmodified iphone.

Can I ACTIVATE an OTB 1.1.2 iPhone ?

>>>> YES

Can I JAILBREAK an OTB 1.1.2 iPhone ?

>>>> YES

Can I UNLOCK an OTB 1.1.2 iPhone ?

>>>> NO YOU CAN´T !!!! i repeat: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK AN OTB 1.1.2 IPHONE !!!!!!! unless you use hardware unlock, Click the Search button on the top of this very same page and look for TURBOSIM.

Can I Downgrade an OTB 1.1.2 iPhone to 1.1.1 or 1.0.2 ??

>>>> YES

Can i unlock it then ??

>>>> DEPENDS.

Depends on what ??

>>>> If your iphone was manufactured prior to week 45

Why? What happened on week 45 ?

>>>> Newer iphones were shipped with a different BOOTLOADER, the old iphones (week 45 and older) had 3.9, the new ones (week 46~47 and later) are 4.6, which screwed everything....

How do i know in which week my iphone was produced ?

>>>> Look for its serial number, the 4th and 5th digits are the fabrication week, example: 7v746xxxxxx, it means that this particular iphone was produced on the 46th week of the year.

So you're telling me that if i have an OTB 1.1.2 iphone, that was
produced on or prior to week 45 i can unlock it. ?

>>>> YES, very likely YES, your phone was probably just upgraded to 1.1.2, so it still has the old bootloader.

How do i Do that ??

>>>> Downgrade to 1.1.1, if necessary also downgrade the baseband... follow the sticky threads guides on this forum for 1.1.1 unlocking.

And what if my OTB 1.1.2 iphone is from week 47 and later ?

>>>> you WON´T be able to UNLOCK it... only activate and jailbreak..

So what i do with it ??

>>>> It´s up to you.. use as paper weight... use as itouch.... you just wont be able to make calls yet.

How do i know if my phone has 1.1.2 Firmware??

>>>> If the "slide to emergency" button changes between 3 languages, its a 1.1.2.

Why are there ppl saying they have unlocked 1.1.2 iphones?

>>>> Because they had an old iphone either 1.0.2 or 1.1.1, and upgraded to 1.1.2 and unlocked using anysim 1.2u, or unlocked using TurboSIM.

When will a unlocking solution be released for 1.1.2 iphones ?

>>>> NOBODY knows that now... sit back, relax, and get yourself a beer, go watch Oprah...

I wouldn't dream of it!

I'm selling a Nokia Linux tablet lockup service that prevents you
from becoming root and screwing things up....(c:) It converts the
N800 into an iPhone WebTV appliance...
