1.1.2 OTB Unlocked????
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Ashhong

Hey guys, here's another "rumor" for the hopeful, again found on hackint0sh. This pretty much seems like fact though. I don't know much about all this, but from this video, he pretty much covers all the bases to prove he has a 1.1.2 OTB. Anyways, judge for yourselves and discuss in here. I'm curious to know if there are any flaws in his video.

proves nothing.

I was just browsing their forums, and a decent amount of people seem to think it's real. I don't know what to think, but it likely won't matter because even if he knows how to unlock it, he's tight-lipped when it comes to talking about his "method".

Posted by: XanderMac

Of course it's real. Apple will unlock your phone in Europe (France anyway) for the right price. Doesn't mean he unlocked it himself, just means he went to France, paid the price and unlocked it thru itunes.

edit: Looks German so he got it from t-mobile while they were selling them.

Posted by: Ashhong

I think they will only unlock iphones bought from France. This phone is clearly from the US. I think such an obvious "fault" would have been recognized by those other forums.

Posted by: XanderMac

How is it clearly from the US? Because he printed out an Apple store display tag? Come on, when you go to the Apple store do you get that display tag with your purchase? Its an unlocked German iPhone with a fake apple store display tag next to it.

7U7 Serial Number, US Based Serial number for an iPhone, that is for sure a US iPhone.

But if I do remember correctly, they will unlock any iPhone in France/Germany not just the ones purchased from the stores there.

Posted by: XanderMac

When you buy the phone you pay an additional unlocking fee, the imei is sent to apple and is whitelisted so that when you plug into iTunes the phone is unlocked for you and activated.

Here's what I think:

The iPhone is unlocked via iTunes, and requires an internet connection. Ergo, Apple is sending information to the PC/iPhone, and that contains the unlocking/subsidy code removal instructions. Someone needs to (and probably will soon) intercept the packets, decode them, and see exactly what is being sent to the iPhone. Once that's done, it should/will be possible to duplicate it, probably by using a "fake" Apple server and having the same information sent to any iPhone. It might be IMEI-based, S/N based, or whatever, but the decoded instructions should be able to be modified to work on any iPhone.

And hey, we can always hope that those two court cases out in CA result in Apple unlocking US-based iPhones the same way.

It'd be great if all we had to do was call Apple up and have them send the unlocking info to our PC. Since there's no subsidy for the iPhone, there shouldn't be a requirement to complete the 2-year service contract.

Fingers and toes crossed!

if the courts do mandate it here in the states I imagine apple will slap on a hefty fee for the service.

hey Xander, quick question since you are here. Can OTB 1.1.2 phones be used with any AT&T sim card if I activated and jailbroke it? So only thing unlock does is make it work with tmobile?

I ain't Xandermac but yes you can.

The author of the video said the solution would be available in just another week or so. Hope this is true. If it is, it will certainly run those overpriced unlocked sellers on ebay out of business. And i'll be picking up one from apple.

Posted by: brandon11983

Me too, if not, I'm just gonna buy a StealthSIM.

Same here,but it would suck to buy stealthsim and a day later find out they unlocked 1.1.2. And, when 1.1.3 comes out, stealthsim isn't guaranteed to work with that upgrade. The price is worth it though. I guess patience and holding out is the key.

only a matter of time folks...

I just came back from the states & had bought an apple iphone 8GB vers 1.1.2. I got my friend who eals with iphoneconsultants.com to jailbreak it, inserted the fido sim (with a slight cut in it) together with a "stealthsim" & I got it to work.It is not BS,
they are selling them like crazy to europe. I'm a believer. (yes, i agree it would be better to have a straight software unlock - but try to find a lower version in the states - they're all vers 1.1.2)

Uh...DUH. That's been on the iPhone Dev team site for several weeks now.

Try to keep up.

Hey I just received my stealthSim from www.stealthsim.ca also a genuine Stealth Sim authorized distributor. The new stealthsims are Black and thinner than ever and it made it much easier to fit in the sim tray unlike the Turbosim and other clones. I did feel a bit scared to cut my Fido Sim card cause the TurboSim instructions slaughtered my other one. I hated the turbosim because I had to program it and cut half my sim but the steathsim was much easier. It only takes a bit to cut and duah duah. If anybody needs info or help just respond to this thread and I’ll tell you how to it if you need any help.

ignore my duah duah that was supposed to say voila :P lol

So is it possible to use any ATT sim in an OTB 1.1.2 Iphone? If so, what steps do I need to take to make it work. I've tried before, but I kept getting the "Different Sim" message and my Iphone wouldn't accept the new sim card. If I can't get it to work, I'm gonna just try the Stealth Sim.

Posted by: BornInBremen

Yes, 1.1.1 (4.6 Bootloader) will take any AT&T SIM. You just need to Jailbreak it first. Follow the instructions in the stickies.

Now, does that apply to old Cingular SIMs, or even older AT&T Wireless (aka Cingular Blue) SIMs?

I don't think anyone has answered that question yet.

I will answer this question for you in a few hours

Posted by: KSMatic

nope, sim card doesn't work.

wait, imma upgrade to 1.1.2 and see if its the same.

Posted by: KSMatic

1.1.2 will work with AT&T blue and CIngular sim card.

I just confirmed this now.

Posted by: BornInBremen

Sweet! Good to know. So 1.1.1 is a no-go with older Cingular/AT&T Wireless (aka Cingular Blue) SIMs, but 1.1.2 is a go? Just wanna confirm that...

Do you have an E-Bay account? Put your locked 1.1.2 phone on e-bay. It will sell for $450-$500.

Get on www.craigslist.org and buy someones used phone.

what kind of person would by a locked iphone for 500 when they can buy it in stores? are you serious? should i advertise it as jailbroken and activated? although after fees it would probably come out to a small loss since it was like 440 after tax or whatever.

people oversees would buy it for that high price since they cant get it over there. But then you have to worry about scammers placing bids and so on.
