Alright. So, I managed to unbrick my iPhone into iTouch. Basically it has all the features except Calling/SMS/GPRS. But, it’s a break through for me.

Now, waiting for someone to come up with the baseband restore. Then I can have my iPhone back! Yeh!! Here are the steps for my notes. I’m not responsible if this causes any damage to your device.

• Download iTunes 7.4
• Dock your iPhone and connect it to windows, and press Power+Home button for exactly 10 seconds. Meanwhile you will see the slide to power off screen.
• Download Apptap
• Confirm your iTune software is not running. Press Crt+Alt+Del Task Manager and end the process of itunes and itunes helper.
• Dock your iPhone and run Apptap. It will jailbreak your iphone and install installer.app on your iphone. It might show error at first. But just restart the program and your iPhone keep on trying till it gets done! Don’t worry how many times it takes. It will get through.
• Download Paycay (This activates iPhone without using iTunes.)
• Run the “(CLICK HERE) activate” Batch File. Follow the instructions. This step should get through at once.
• Restart and it should be back to the normal mode without asking you to activate. 

OK! Let’s wait for the next step!

Has been a few days since the iBrick heartbreak. My iPhone is sitting on my desk collecting dust. There are ways to unbrick it now according to the iPhone Dev Team, but it works only on mac. (I knew I should’a kept my macbook!)

Hackint0sh Forums: I Have Downgraded Back To 1.0.2!!!!!!!

I Miss Her !!! I Miss Her !!! I Miss Her !!! I Miss Her !!! I Miss Her !!!

I thought Rich didn’t unlock my iPhone, how did my phone became a victom of iBrick! Thanks to Stevie at Apple. Now you earned yourself a few million bricks that people would love to throw to your face.

What does it mean? Well, a new firmware update from Apple released a couple days ago. It kills aftermarket applications installed on iPhone, and it turns unlocked iPhones into a non-functioning “thing” people refer it to a Brick.

There is a solution out already for the Mac users, I’m still waiting for Dev Team’s PC Solutions.

Yesterday we reported how to unbrick an unlocked iPhone. Today we have discovered that you can send and receive calls, SMS and mails too, as well as surf the Web with it. You just have to use a TurboSIM card (like I did) and, according to the iPhone Sim Free people, any restored iPhone with their paid software installed (we have been unable to test this. )

I was too tired to think about trying this yesterday, but today I put my TurboSIM card with the Vodafone SIM and, as you can see in the video, it works great. The iPhone is now exactly in the same state as it was for me before the software update: it can send and receive calls, SMS and mails, as well as surf the Web.

The iPhone Sim Free people, who previously said their paid software unlock will work despite firmware updates, is claiming now that if you downgrade to firmware 1.0.2 your non-AT&T SIM will work just fine. I’ve tried this but couldn’t get it to work. We are talking to them to see what may be happening.

Meanwhile, iPhone Dev Team is working full speed ahead on two things:

• Downgrading the baseband so they can unlock again the iPhones restored to version 1.0.2 from 1.1.1.

• Crating another free unlock that will work for version 1.1.1 of the software. According to them, both may be very near–now testing– and they have put it forward to people with bricked phones to “be patient and hold on until we come with a full solution for 1.1.1 firmware.”
