i've tried this process several times. i have downloaded 1.1.1 firmware. did the hold HOME and POWER buttons to go to recovery mode. once i get here i use itunes to restore firmware 1.1.1. Then i get error message 1015. the phone restarts and shows a music note over a CD with the data cable coming in from the bottom of the screen. (no idea what this image is for). from here i am unable to do anything else except reload 1.1.2 back to the phone and start over. i have also tried 1.0.2 and then use winstaller and AppTappInstaller. once i get to firmware 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 i can never get my wireless service to work.

i can then jailbreak the phone while in 1.1.1 using wifi. then install oktoprep so i can go back to 1.1.2.

as soon as i go back to 1.1.2, its like i originally started. jailbreak isnt installed anymore, nor any other programs that i put on the phone.

what am i doing wrong ???

When you are back to 1.1.2 after all the steps you should use the jailbreak pack, there's a file in there called windows.bat... run it with your phone connected and follow the onscreen instructions...

Just follow STEP BY STEP this guide:

i have followed that guide. i must be missing something. problem is that when i'm back to 1.1.2, the installerapp isnt there and i can't reinstall jailbreak

curious about step 4 in that link.

4. In order to kick the phone out of that mode I just had to launch iNdependence version 1.2.5 and wait a minute or so. If you are using iTunes 7.5 you will have to get a MobileDevice from a previousv version in order to run Independence. http://code.google.com/p/independence/

Windows users can try AppTapp v0.92: http://www.nullriver.com/~adam/AppTappInstaller.exe

i am a windows user and when i use apptapp, it doesnt have firmware vs 1.1.1 listed... might this be causing the problem ?

on AppTapp you're supposed to use 1.0.2 firmware from the list...1.1.1 won't be listed

the iphone now says. waiting for activation. i loaded itunes and it's at the main screen asking if i want to restore a backup. Should i do this or is the iphone trying to activate right now ?

Posted by: silver350z

ok, now i got an activation alert, says no wireless service detected...

anyone ????

Posted by: kloquewerk

If its at the activation screen just follow the rest of the instructions.

Posted by: silver350z

read my last post, it says it cant activate.

Posted by: kloquewerk

you're trying to activate with iTunes?

Posted by: silver350z

yea, but the phone gives me the message. i used my wifi to go ahead and download jailbreak. did oktoprep. then loaded 1.1.2 back to the phone. everytime i do this it takes away the installer app

Posted by: silver350z

never mind guys, it works now. i just wasnt doing the last step.

Posted by: kloquewerk

it will always take it away when you upgrade or restore. correct me if I'm wrong people. You need to jailbreak again to get it back

ok you beat me to it. Glad to hear it works now...didnt I say to continue with the instructions??
