So I took took the plunge and updated my iphone from 1.1.2 software with Anysim 1.1.2u. So what they have done now makes it so easy and it only takes 3-4 min to unlock, activate and jailbreak your phone. Well for that matter a fact any IPhone that you can buy now.
So here is the link I used for a guide. Make sure you read it carefully as there is always a risk involved. And espesially in South africa where if the phone bricks on you then you have to take out allot of cash to get another one.

Software (ZIphone)

Version 2.2 was a very stable and easy to use version, but it only supported Windows XP and Vista. So I had to upgrade my iphone software to 1.1.3 via Itunes on my MAC and then run the unlock on my Win XP machine.The new version is out and I will post another link for it.
Enjoy

Developer Zibri has posted a package for both Mac OS X and Windows that claims to jailbreak, activate and unlock all iPhones running software/firmware 1.1.3 (including out-of-the-box [OTB]) devices. The package uses the “true” jailbreak method that the iPhone dev team was attempting to keep secret until the release of Apple’s official SDK rather than the previously divulged “soft-upgrade” method. Jailbreaking provides read/write iPhone filesystem access, allowing installation of unofficial third-party applications.
The jailbreak method includes incomplete instructions, however. Here’s what you need to do to make it work:
On a Mac:
- Download this file
- Downgrade to iTunes 7.4.2. Download iTunes then download Pacifist. Use Pacifist to open the iTunes package then force an install and restart (this step may not be necessary).
- Launch the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities)
- Drag the file “ziphone” in the first file you downloaded onto the Terminal window then type “-j”; the command should look something like this: /Users/username/Downloads/ZiPhone\ Folder/ZiPhone/ziphone -j.
- Follow the on-screen instructions
On a Windows system
- Download this file
- Downgrade to iTunes 7.4.2. Download iTunes 7.4.2) then install it and restart (this step may not be necessary).
- Run “ziphone.exe” from the first file you downloaded.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note that some users are still experiencing problems jailbreaking with this package, and that this package was released without the consent of the iPhone dev team who has been refining the method and attempting to keep it secret until the release of Apple’s iPhone SDK.
If this method fails for you, see our Applications page for full instructions on jailbreaking all firmware/software revisions.
We’re not yet entirely sure how it works, but iPhone hacker Zibri’s just released a new app he’s calling ZiPhone, which claims to jailbreak any version iPhone — including new 1.1.3 phones right out of the box — without messy downgrades and baseband changes. We haven’t tested it ourselves, but prepare for the onslaught of downloaders to take it offline in five… four… three…
Enjoy guys….
Apple is planning to drop the prices of the iPhone and iPod line within the next month or two – perhaps at a rumoured late February announcement – a Mac enthusiast site has climed. Website 9to5Mac received word that the cuts are on their way. The reduction is said to be $100 off the price of models in both the iPod Touch and iPhone lines. The 8GB iPod Touch will apparently be dropped from the line-up just as the 4GB version of the iPhone was before it.If true, this means that the 16GB iPhone will be $399 – the current price for the 8GB version and the 32GB iPod Touch will come in at $399 too. Speculation suggests that the price drops are in order to make way for “pricing space” for the 3G iPhone, expected this year. Speculation for this announcement dates back to October last year, when Steve Jobs promised, via a post on the Apple website, that the company would release a software development kit for theiPhone and iPod Touch.”We plan to have an SDK in developers’ hands in February,” were the exact words as regards timescale, so rumours of an Apple event scheduled for late-February are not entirely surprising.In addition to the price cuts and the expected software development kit, rumours abound that a Penryn-based MacBook Pros with multi-touch trackpad might also be announced.
Apple to announce iPhone and iPod Touch price cuts?
How to unlock any new iPhone – OTB 1.1.2 and 1.1.3
Step 1: Install 1.1.1 firmware
If your phone is already activated on any other firmware you can skip this and the next step. But you would need to add http://i.unlock.no/ as a source in Installer manually.
To get 1.1.1 firmware installed, you must get the phone enter recovery mode. Here’s how:
1. Connect the phone to the computer and press and hold the Power button (on top) and the Home button (on bottom front) simultaneously.
2. After about 15 seconds phone will appear to turn off, release the Power button but keep holding the Home button.
3. After about 15 seconds the computer and iTunes will detect the phone in recovery mode.
4. Download the following two files to your computer if you havent alread: 1.1.1 firmware and 1.1.2 firmware
5. Hold down SHIFT key (Windows) or Option/ALT-key (Mac) when clicking the Restore button in iTunes, and it will let you choose firmware file. Select the 1.1.1 firmware file you downloaded in previous step.
6. iTunes will give give a 1015 error, and you phone will get stuck in recovery mode.
7. To get it into normal mode, run AppTapInstaller.exe (or iNdependence if your’re on a Mac). If you are downgrading from 1.1.3 you might have problems getting it started in normal mode. The solution is simple, just restore your phone to 1.1.1 again, and this time it will work
8. Now your phone should be at the activation screen.
Step 2: Jailbreak and activate
1. Make sure you have a SIM-card with PIN turned off (the supplied AT&T card works fine).
2. On the activation screen, slide for emergency and dial: *#301# to make the phone call itself. (If the incoming call dialog quickly disappears but it keeps ringing, just dial 0 (remove *#301# first), and it will call itself)
3. Answer the call, and tap on Hold
4. Phone will call it self again, tap Decline. You will now be returned to the normal dialer.
5. Tap on contacts, and tap the + icon to add a new. The only info you are going to add to this contact are two URL’s. To add a URL, tap Add new URL. The first URL is prefs followed by a colon: prefs: and the second is i.unlock.no. Tap Save.
6. Your contact now has two “web pages” – tap on the first one (prefs
. This will take you to the settings dialog. The reason you want this, is because you need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, so tap on Wi-Fi, and get connected to a network, and make sure the icon on top of the screen is indicating that you are connected. While you are in the settings dialog, you should also set: General → Auto-Lock → Never.
7. Now, press the home button, and again, slide for emergency dial 0, Answer the call, Hold and Decline the new call so that you get to the contacts. Tap on your contact (No Name), and this time tap on the other home page, i.unlock.no
8. Safari will launch and show you a webpage. Tap on Tap here to jailbreak your iPhone
9. Phone will return to activation screen and after a few seconds the phone should restart.
10. If the phone does not restart after waiting a full minute, please make sure that you have your phone connected to the computer and try again.
11. When the phone starts again, it should no longer say slide for emergency, but rather Slide to unlock It means it was successfull! Activation is now bypassed, and phone prepared for software installation! (If you are going to use an AT&T SIM, you won’t need to do the next step.)
Step 3: Performing the unlock
Add http://i.unlock.no/ to Installer sources if you didn’t follow this tutorial
1. Tap on the Installer icon, and wait for it to refresh the sources
2. Tap on Install at the bottom
3. Scroll down to Unlocking Tools and install 1.1.2/1.1.3 OTB Unlock
4. The process will take a few minutes, before you get a message that it completed successfully
Step 4: Upgrade to 1.1.2
Even though the phone is already unlocked, it will not get a signal. To fix this upgrade to 1.1.2:
1. Open iTunes again and hold down the SHIFT key (Windows) or Option/ALT-key (Mac) on your keyboard while clicking on the Upgrade button (not the restore button!). A file browsing dialog should appear, and you must select the 1.1.2 firmware file you downloaded previously.
2. While the phone is upgrading, download the 1.1.2 jailbreak archive and extract the files to your computer.
3. If you don’t already have Java on your computer, you need to download and install Java runtime first. If you are unsure, check the jailbreak.jar file in the archive you extracted previously – it should have an icon with a coffee cup
4. When your phone is done upgrading, and shows the Slide for emergency screen, you need to launch the jailbreak java application on your computer. Windows users double click on the windows.bat file, while Mac users can double click on jailbreak.jar file.
5. An application should appear, with a “Jailbreak” button – click on it and wait while it’s jailbreaking. This will take a few minutes, and your phone will restart a few times at the end.
6. Your phone should now show “Slide to unlock” instead of emergency. If it does, everything was successfull.
Step 5: Finishing the unlock
Now your phone will accept any SIM-card and you will get signal. Congratulations!
But if you are using your phone in a forreign country, the Phone/SMS application will just crash.
Open Installer and install iWorld found in the Tweaks 1.1.2 category. Start iWorld and select your country and it will fix the crashing problem.
If you want to upgrade to 1.1.3, there’s a package called Official 1.1.3 Upgrader located in the System category. Installing it will upgrade your phone to a jailbroken 1.1.3. Be aware that it will take some time (25-40 minutes).
NOTICE: This unlock will not work on bootloader 3.9. If you try it on a bootloader 3.9, gunlock will complain with the following messages:
geohot’s 112 otb unlocker…
Waiting for data…
Attempt…
Attempt…
Got Header: 77 0b cc
Bootloader version: 3.9_M3S2
Incorrect bootloader version
The following contents are basically from the instructions.txt bundled in the Geohot’s unlocking package. I made some modifications to make it more clear.
1. Get Files
Unlocking tool: OTB 1.1.2 & 1.1.3 Unlocking ToolBaseband: ICE04.02.13_G.fls (local link temporarily removed due to huge traffic, try HERE)
Put all files into a folder, say /unlock, on iPhone.
2. Downgrade Firmware
Put iPhone into DFU mode then use iTunes to downgrade firmware to 1.0.2 (there will be an error 1013 at the end which is normal), this allows to use WiFi during the unlocking procedure. (NOTE: 1.1.1 and above will shutdown WiFi)
3. Unlock It
Issue the following commands to unlock:
launchctl remove com.apple.CommCentercd /unlockchmod 755 *./gunlock secpack ICE04.02.13_G.flslaunchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
NOTICE: 1.1.3 unlocked with 04.02.13_G.fls.
4. Jump Out of Brick Mode
If iPhone is in brickmode after the unlock, get the elite team bricktool From Here and use it to get out.
Enjoy your OTB 1.1.2/1.1.3 unlocked iPhone.
Neatorama has a great feature on the evolution of tech company logos, from the really stylized and arty logos of the early 1900s (for companies that have been around that long), to the colorful and shiny Web 2.0 logos of today. A pretty crazy example is Japan’s Canon, which was originally named Kwanon, after the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Mercy. A much less interesting evolution belongs to Google, whose logo looks as elementary school short bus now as it did when the company first launched.
