Problem with OTB 1.1.2 Jailbreak

I have the following problem trying to jailbreak an activated 1.1.2 (AT&T)

I followed the downgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 and got the expected error using itunes 7.6 latest version on VISTA 32bits. I use the ApptappInstaller to kick the phone out of recovery mode and its runs 1.1.1. I visit jailbreakme.com and all goes well and the Installer application is present.

At this point when the phone powers on, it states "Waiting or Activation" with the option to "dismiss". It never activates, whether attached to itunes or not.

I used WINScp and OpenSSH to place the modified lock downfile into the prescribed directory. This seem to get rid of Waiting to Activate problem but the phone services are not active.

I also tried the *#307# routine after a 1.1.1 restore and can get to the jailbreakme.com site in Safari, but the phone just powers off and never comes back.

I restored to 1.1.2 and the phone returned to fully functional with phone services intact.

If anyone can suggest a solution, I would be most appreciative. This is my buddies phone, and I told him how easy it is and then proceeded to demonstrate that it is not.

Cheers

Did you do step 3 to prep the phone for the jailbreak for 1.1.2?

Step 3: Prepare your 1.1.1 device for the Update

1. Launch Installer.app

2. Scroll down to Tweaks (1.1.1)

3. Select OktoPrep

4. Click Install

The phone wouldn't jailbreak/activated for me on 1.1.1. I restored the phone over 10 times and it wouldn't work. I also tried to downgrade to 1.02 and itunes keeps saying waiting for iphone

When I did mine it would not activate either. After I did step 3 I updated to 1.1.2 and the phone connected and activated as well as being jailbroken.

How can I do step 3 if I am stuck on waiting for activation. I cannot get pass that point to use apptap.

Thanks for your suggestion djdownhill. I think I did not do the Ockoprep step then upgrade to 1.1.2 properly, will retry and post results.

I did this all with a Itunes 7.5 Vista 32 bit machine.

Starting from 1.1.2 I followed the guide, got Ockoprep on the phone while it was at 1.1.1 then UPDATED to 1.1.2. Then I ran the Jailbreak 1.1.2 java file. My friends phone is now a jailbroken 1.1.2. Thanks for advice.
