you upgraded to 1.1.4 with itunes and used independence to Jailbreak/activate/unlock?

Posted by: aarononfire

i wonder if it'll still work whenever they start shipping otb 1.1.4's

i hope so, because i'm going to the states in april and im hoping to buy and unlock one

You can now unlock, activate and jailbreak 114 if you are on a mac. And best of all you don't have to downgrade BL to 3.9. Newbie friendly too. All done with iNdependence.

it is good for jailbreaking / activating but the unlock leaves you with 1.1.2 baseband right now, doesn't it? independence will have to be updated to unlock the actual 1.1.4 baseband for 3.9bl, which is possible through other means at this time...

please correct me if i am wrong on this..?

Use the tutorial found on iClarified. Yes, it is for Mac. Yes, it is easy. Yes, it unlocks baseband 04.04.05_G, unlike independence, which downgrades your baseband to 04.02.13_G, which doesn't allow "locate me" feature of google maps to work.

Oh, and for all of you hanging on to the 4.6 bl, what's up? Join the rest of the world at 3.9. I cannot find any disadvantage, and can find TONS of advantages.

Just my .02, which probably isn't even worth .02.

Sorry to hijack the thread Cingular1.

Until Independence can get "Locate Me" working as well, I would hardly consider this a "working" solution.

Also, I could be wrong, but I have never heard of someone sending in their iPhone and not getting it fixed, or receiving a new one in return.

Being that locate me is pretty inacurate. And when it does correctly locate u the radius of the circle seems to be like a 5-10 mile span... It just seems like a worthless feature to me... So as long as I can benefit from 1.1.4 bug fixes than I'm pretty happy.

As a software developer I can't stress how important it is to keep two intended software modules syncronized. Not running 1.1.4 with its intended baseband is so non optimal, I question how anyone is accepting of this; assuming that just because one feature doesn't work - there aren't hidden negative impacts - to signal, battery life, etc

My strong advice is to stay away from any firmware and baseband combination that isn't standard.

You stole the words right out of my mouth. I want to use my iPhone with the firmware and baseband matching, as Apple intended it to be. The part I dont agree with Apple is...well, of course - AT&T!

Ditto, thanks for the info though, I'll be trying this out later because 1.1.3 has been nothing but problematic.

Just make sure that you DONT use independence. Use ZiPhone. The guide can be found at iClarified. If you use ZiPhone/that guide you will have the proper baseband.

I went the iNdependence way and now I don't have installer on the phone. How do I get this back? I didn't realize my baseband would be wrong using this method and I want to redo it the iClarified way. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I guess it was very simple. I reset all contents and settings. Downloaded ZiPhone and ran that. It just re-did what was on there properly and now I have installer on the phone. Just an FYI to others who run into this issue.

INdepenedence is doing nothing wrong per se. Its exactly what Ziphone was doing since the beginning for firmware 113 till versions 2.4 with warnings about downgrading bootloader with -b command.

ziphone for 113 with -a -j -u is the same thing. It would downgrade your baseband to 4.02 and lots of threads and people were recommending to use those commands only and not downgrade bootloader to 3.9 when the Z command for Ziphone was introduced which would downgrade bootloader to 3.9 by default.

And this is what lots of people were using and 'recommended' because the value of locate was marginal at best and not worth downgrading bootloader for and if there was compelling feature you could always downgrade bootloader at a later time, but once you go to bootloader 3.9 you can't revert to 4.6 hence the reluctance.

Now its shifted the other way and people are saying downgrade bootloader to 3.9.

Independance is fine for jailbreak/activate -- albeit it doesn't put installer.app on for you, what up with that? But you don't want to unlock with Independance, as it will downgrade your baseband to 4.2 to do it...yuck

Ziphone does the whole whack, jailbreak/activate -- installs installer.app and unlocks using gunlock.

I am about to try this myself...Ziphone jailbreak/activate -- and signal.app to get my previous IPSF unlock humming again...
