well i was going to type a bunch of stuff but i think im screwed. here's a quick sweet run down of what i did:

bought a 8gb iphone from the apple store the other day. didn't take my time really LEARNING how to unlock it. i think it had 1.1.2 fw (when i put in recovery mode it was a cable and the itunes logo). installed 1.0.2 fw. used apptapp installer and ibrickr to activate. ran installed iunlocker pxl on phone and did it . . . when i put my tmo sim in it said that the sim was invalid. installed anysim using ibrickr. after i ran anysim it completed and said there were already patches on the phone. well still says invalid sim w/ my tmo sim. put back into recovery mode and installed the 1.0.2.ipsw recovery **** again . . . went through the whole process for it to say that there were already patches installed on the phone so it still doesn't work w/ my tmobile sim card.

i finally have access to a unsecure wifi network so i should be able to hit the net now. do i need to re-virginize the phone?? i can't figure out how to get onesim to work to remove patch even though i doubt that will do anything. what should i do???! this is what i get for being impatient and not doing my homework!! if i need to virginize the 1.0.2 fw then i need guide that makes sense to me!!

im so much better than this . . . what the hell was i thinking??! please anyone please!

yours truly,
scott g

you cant unlock a brand new 1.1.2 phone...

you're right; you really didn't take your time to learn how to unlock it or you would've found out that 1.1.2 is not unlockable because of the new Bootloader version

Very "noobish" indeed....

Bro its all over the site, u cant unlock a 1.1.2otb phone. Ur wasting ur time.. Either restore it and return it or sit on it until a way to unlock 1.1.2 gets released.

i thought 1.1.2 was unlockable . . . i can't even downgrade or anything??!

and its a week 44 phone??! nothing??! downgraded to version 1.0.2 modem fw 04.01.13 and it's not imei 0049 . . . god dammit!! this is what i get for being bipolar and impulsive!

Some week 44 phones can be unlocked. You need to figure out a way to tell what the bootloadet version is. I know you can do it, I just don't know how. Of your phone was 1.1.2 out the box it cannot be unlocked. If it was 1.1.1 it can be. Hopefully your THINKING it was 1.1.2 is incorrect and it was indeed 1.1.1. Good luck.

ok so i have a jaibroke iphone running on 1.0.2 fw w/ modem 04.01.13_G . . . i thought the guy said that this wasn't the newest firmware when i bought it. it's a week 44 phone . . . . all the revirginizer things i found say the phone has to be 1.1.1 w/ 04.01.13 but mine is 1.0.2 w/ 04.01.13 . . . so do i need to restore 1.1.1?? then downgrade to 1.0.2 and revirginize?? this is overwhelming!! i finally have the wifi up and running b/c i turned the wep off on our network. for some reason installer isn't being able to download bsd subsystem . . . i have two sources . . . i.unlock.no and http://markmon.mine.nu:90/iphone/repo/repo.plist in the installer . . . im so frustrated and don't know what to use or do!!!

you cant do anything with it except use it as a ipod/wifi/email device...you wont be able to make calls or anything cuz you cant unlock it as the bootloader doesnt allow for it...so no matter what you do at this point you aint gonna be using it on t-mobile

sorry for being that dumb kid on here i just got a little too excited when i bought the device and didn't do ANY HOMEWORK before jumping into the whole unlock process . . . it was just a 1.1.1 8g phone and my ******* downgraded to 1.0.2 and left modem fw at 04.01.13_g . . . so after a bunch of pointless and stupid recoveries i finally restored 1.1.1 instead and jail broke it and unlocked w/ anysim 1.1 and voila! im such a ******* :P
