Dude, where did you get this old Apple logo-sticker from?

Thanks in advance

i cannot kick out of restore mode what should i do?

Kyle. As stated in the guide:
“Close iTunes and run iLiberty+. Click the Other Tools tab and select Jump out of recovery mode.”

Keep trying with that. Hard resetting and restarting iLiberty+. It does kick it out in the end.

! this is what I was looking for!!

Thanks Moin and _X_

took me 30 minutes, and i still cant jump out of the recovery mode with iliberty, any more tricks for that?

any other source to get KIPHONE than rapidshare?
its not downloading

and thank u alooooot

Seems you guys are getting the hang of it. Just hang in there if its not working and follow the guide step by step. Remember, just because it doesnt work first time around, doesnt mean it doesnt work. Patience is key.

wat do i do it show me error 1601 and not the one it supposed to show me

OH MY GOD!

_X_ and MoiN you two are fucking legends!!!! This tutorial worked for me and I was able to downgrade my “SIM Locked” iPhone from 2.0 to 1.1.4

Damn iTunes asked me to upgrade and pressed Enter accidentally without looking! Silly me.

Thank you so much for this helpful post!

For those who are stuck in Recovery Mode, keep trying and if it doesn’t seem to be working … Hard Reset and SHIFT+RESTORE again on iTunes and try kicking it out of Restore mode again. That’s how i got it out of restore mode after failing around 20-25 times.

Thanks again and good luck all

I have a few questions if someone can answer them:

1. kiphone is suppose to take 5 minutes to dowgrade the baseband…is this confirmed? I can’t tell if it hangs.

2. what if i mess up someplace in the middle, is this recoverable or did i just flushed my iphone down the drain?

3. is the bootloader reversible if i ever need 3.9 or 4.6 again?

liz

kiphone shouldnt take 5 minutes. But check the status on the screen. There should be small text which updates and tells you its status.
If you mess up, shouldnt be a problem,I messed up and my iphone is now perfect.

In regards to the bootloader, I dont worry about such things, I let iLibery+ deal with it.

And this is for everyone, I would seriously avoid upgrading to 2.0. There are so many problems with it at the moment it isnt worth it. Not even for the apps, which are quite poor to be honest.
Serious lagg, crashes, glitches and loss of wifi reception are just some of the symptoms with this new version. AVOID

step 4 doesnt work, says software for iphone is unavailable and that i need latest itunes, any solutions>???

I keep getting an error 1604 after step 4 (I know it says there should be an error, but it says error 1005 or 1050) and iLiberty does not recognize there is a phone plugged in…all the buttons are grayed out.

Any help? Thanks.

Alright, I was able to finally get past the error 1604. The problem was that the Apple Mobile service or something along those lines was not started. I followed the direction here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

Now it’s in recovery mode, but iLiberty+ isn’t working to make it jump out of recovery mode. I’ll keep trying and report back.

I was able to get out of recovery mode by restoring to 1.1.4 again, then when I ran iLiberty, it kicked it out of recovery on the first try.

Now…Im trying to run KiPhone and it says “This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the developers”.

I tried to jailbreak it, then tried KiPhone again, and same error.

Alright…FINALLY got it done and working.

The KiPhone error went away after resetting the computer but then KiPhone still wouldn’t work…it said it was loading some file but wouldn’t do anything, the iPhone was not resetting or responding in any way. I ended up starting iTunes, which recognized the iPhone and seemed to have “turned it on” for the computer to see. I tried KiPhone again and it worked this time around.

Val and others. I found this out the other day. You don’t need to actually kick it out of recovery mode to use KiPhone. So don’t panic if you cant.

In regards to the KiPhone crash, restore the iphone AGAIN. That did the same thing to me. Its fickle at best. Trial and error.

anyone know where i can find itunes 7.5

i am getting error 20 while i put my iphone on recovery mod and dam it is stuck on recovery mod and i can’t and my iphone is not responding please help this is different case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my phone is stuck on recovery mode what should i do?????

okay so i ended up jailbreaking it after step 4. and its in recovery mode. and i put on Kiphone but it doesnt do anything. just says searching for iphone. and its like???? and it hasnt restarted or anything? so what should i do?

my itune is not recognizing my iphone and giving error”cannot transfer data sync ….” what should i do????? plzz!!!

hey okay this is what i did

please make sure your simcard isnt in the phone and the phone is connected the whole time.

1- i downloaded the itunes 7.5 and unistalled itunes 7.7

2- i restarted my P.C.

3- i installed itunes 7.5 and put it in the “my music” folder and i also name it “itunesbackup”

4- i opened it and by now it should just finish installing and you should be able to use it.

5- connect your iphone to your PC itunes should say something about how it cant recognize the iphone because you need to install itunes 7.7

6- press OK not exit and then put your iphone in DFU mode.

7. DFU mode is not like recovery mode. Recovery mode is when you see the itunes sign and a teether.

8- to get to DFU mode just simply press the off button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds.

9- when the screen turns off take your finger off of the “off” button on the iphone but keep holding the home button until your computer or itunes tells you it has discovered new hardware.

10- then you press shirt and restore on the itunes

11- you select firmware 1.1.4
then your phone should get back to recovery mode

12- then you jailbreak your iphone with iliberty+

13- then you use winpwn to downgrade your baseband, you press browse .ipsw and select the 1.1.4 firmware again.

14- then go back to iliberty= and select all the check boxes and press “go for it”

15- and in a few minutes you will be good to go

just pop in a sim card and you will be able to access your iphone

if you have any questions just email me to drprtinkerbell@gmail.com

aim: drprtinkerbell

i will be more than happy to do it step by step with you :]

good luck

MANY THANKS!!!!!! MASTER

Thanks alot dude, this worked PERFECTLY with me.

THANKS!!!!!

hi.. i’ve followed all the steps.. it’s unlocked now.. but it seems that i couldnt retrieve any network.. tried it with another simcard as well, but still no network found. then i went back to ziphone did the unlock, jailbreak n activate.. but still ended up having no network..
any helllp pleaase..

Sorry to come across as rude but, did you actually read my tutorial?
Read step 6. You cant get any network because the baseband, the part which does all the signal, calls, txts etc, is the new version. This was put on with the 2.0 firmware. To use the network you need to DOWNGRADE the baseband which step 6 explains how to do.

Wow 3 weeks without my phone after that stupid update, thank you for this solution, everything else failed. Nice one all is good

HELP!!! I’ve followed the guide to a T and I’m still stuck…. 7.5 doesn’t even recognize my 2.0 firmware phone. I have to option to click the restore…

i removed itunes 7.7, and when i installed 7.5, it says it can’t read my library since it was created by a newer version of itunes.

i gettin stuck at Ziphone..
i done everything as told..but i got stuck at Ziphone ..
i dont see no krazi text line goind..and when i try to restore back to 1.1.4 it keep givin me error 1015 please help wat did i do wrong.

i got stuck on step 5..

Once it kicks it out of recovery mode you should see the slide for emergency calls

I can’t downgrade baseband and debug boot using Kiphone, nothing happened. I’ve tried 10 times. My iPhone was in normal mode. Please help

Tina

Hello, by mistake I upgraded my iphone to 2.0 firmware. I have to been to most of the forums but couldnt find the solution.I mean i uninstalled the itunes 7.7, restarted i installed itunes 7.5. but i does not recognized the iphone. In device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark means the device not properly installed.So itunes not working. iliberty not working with itunes 7.5…but again if i installed itunes 7.7 it detect the phone but wanted to restore.i downloaded 1.14 firmware from a website.I pressed shift key and then clicked restore it asked for the ISPW file.but after unzipping the firmware i couldnt find any file with this extension..DMG files all around..
Please help.or is there any other program i can use.

KIPHONE not working. its stuck a loading zibri. dat

itunes also cannot detect my iPhone, itunes running version 7.5 (after downgrading from 7.7 to 7.5, it not detect my iphone at all)

Please help, i’m stuck with safe mode for 3 days already..:-(

I’m just thinking is ist possible if i upgrade the itune again to 7.7, run KIPHONE and restore 1.1.4. Advice please.

I got tried to restore, 2.0 and also tries 1.1.4 but keep geeting the unknown error (6)

i already follow step by step using winpwn but doring restore the error no (6) also…..

Hey guys, just got my 2.0 downgraded to 1.1.4. I must say, it is a long and frustrating journey, so for those still trying, have patience.

For those who are stuck after installing iTunes 7.5, where iTunes does not detect your iPhone AT ALL, try restarting your computer or switching USB ports. Then set your iPhone to DFU mode as per normal, keeping the home button pressed until your computer detects the iPhone in DFU mode. It will pop up in iTunes once the driver is recognised.

That got mine working right. Thanks everybody here for the help!

Just a few more pointers to take note:

- If KiPhone doesn’t work, restore your iPhone to 1.1.4 again, close iTunes and imeediately start KiPhone and start the process.

- It is NOT necessary to kick your iPhone out of recovery mode (using iLiberty, etc) before running KiPhone. It is OK if the restore mode logo stays there until you finish jailbraiking.

- KiPhone doesn’t really take 5 minutes, but the program doesn’t show any progress bar. You’ll know that you’re done when your iPhone restarts after the lines of scrolling texts.

- If you’re like me and find that iTunes 7.5 isn’t even opening even after you rename your music library, go to your music directory, find the file named ‘iTunes Library.itl’ and rename the file extension to ‘iTunes Library.itlold’. After you reinstall iTunes 7.7, delete the new ‘iTunes Library.itl’ and delete the ‘-old’ extension from the previous file.

- You don’t need to worry about anything else after KiPhone, just let iLiberty+ do the rest. Then restore your backup, load in your media and you’re good to go!

Hope this helps. Cheers.

Just in case anybody is curious as to why I’m downgrading, here’s some issues that I faced:

- The backup process hangs halfway
- There are still more apps in the old version that in the new Cydia and AppStore combined
- Mail just crashes everytime I open it. Can’t change any of the Mail preferences in settings.
- Calendar and Contacts doesn’t seem to sync right. Sometimes can’t even sync data.
- The sound is sometimes cut off or cuts in when I start/stop a track or any function that makes sound.
- Apps from iTunes AppStore can’t sync to the iPhone.
- Connecting to a wifi connection is significantly slower.
- Sometimes can’t scroll down to the end of an SMS, hence can’t reply.

And a lot of other minor bugs. I am frankly disappointed at how the new firmware can have so many bloody irritating bugs. Until I see a significant increase in apps in AppStore and the firmware has been upgraded to a more stable version, I’m very much happy with my 1.1.4.

Dear All
i had successfully unlock my iphone followes the instruction given from step 1-6. For step no 6 i had tried to used iliberty but failed, tried winpwn and also failed. So the last choice i tried ziphone and it’s successfully unlock mine.

But after that i noticed one problem. My iphone not ringing during receiving call and same goes to sms 9only in vibration mode). If i tried testing the ringtone inside the setting the sound ok but not when tere’s incoming call/sms. When i slide to unlock also no sound, normally we will hear the unlock sound

Kindly assist. I’m almost give up after stuck in 2.0 for almost 4 days and after it recover this problem come along. Hopefully this the only one…

Thanks

@ Hazel
Try restoring your phone again, then at step 7, check all the necessary options (including the ones downloaded from repo) that has to do with baseband. I had that problem on Day 2 when I first got the iPhone, but restoring it seems to have fixed it.

you are my sunshine,my only sunshine……
it works!

Thank you very much i appreciate the person and persons involved to help out with such a great tutorial
i really appreciate all your hard work and many Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

it worked out good imagine the hard work i did not have to look any where for files too thank you to any one out there read with patience nothing is impossible when you have great friends !!!!!!!!

I am stuck with Cable/Itunes logo…

I have downgraded 7.7 to 7.5
I entered into DFU mode
But iTunes is not recognizing my iPhone. I don’t get an option to restore in itunes.

What am I doing wrong? How do I make 7.5 recognize my itunes?

Try different usb ports. But dont forget, DFU mode looks exactly like the iphone is powered off. So keep trying. You might just have the iphone switched off. Follow the DFU guide I made. Keep trying.

Repeated after connecting to another USB port. To put it in DFU mode, I pressed both home and power buttons for 9 seconds as specified by you. I released power button and continued to hold home button for more than 2 minutes. No luck… How long should it take to make iTunes recognize?

I belive, the phone is in DFU mode but not recognized by iTunes. I started iLiberty and the “DFU Mode” at bottom right corner is flashing.

I pressed home and power buttons for 10 seconds again and it seems like going out of DFU mode that time. iLiberty also doesn’t show “DFU Mode”.

So, DFU setting seems to be working fine, but iTunes is not recognizing. Not sure what else is missing.

Most odd. Seems like it is in DFU mode but oddly, iTunes cant see it. Thats a new one on me. Only options available are complete uninstall/reinstall of itunes. Failing that, I dont know!

dear Han,
sorry to ask this, can u specify what is the “necessary option” should be included

Previously i tried using iliberty but it hang. Tried more than 3 times and that’s make me give up ang switch to iphone. Any tip why iliberty hang when “Booting device into recovery mode”. The percentage just shown zero even after i had wait for 1 hour. How long suppose this booting takes time?

Dear Jay
I had same problem like u before. U have yo make sure to count until 9 or to(depends to ur counting speed), so after 9 u should release the power button, keep on holding the home button unti, itunes detect ur iphone in recovery mode.

If u see the apple logo, means it fail, try again until ur iphone screen totally blank

U can do u it dude, i’m also previously stuck at this stage. after google than i found this wonderful tutorial….:-)

Dear hazel

The necessary options should include all of the options in the standard tab (you can exclude Cydia if you want). Then in the advanced tab, under ‘downloadable’, you should need installer, BSDsubsystem and OpenSSH.

When iLiberty works right, it should tell you to disconnect then reconnect your iPhone. Then it will upload its stuff onto your iPhone (the percentage bar appears here), which will then reboot itself. iLiberty won’t do anything else from there, everything will be run from the iPhone itself.

It’s not supposed to take long. If it does, try to restore again and repeat the process.

Best of luck!

I keep having the same error after step 4. iTunes gives me the 1604 error, and I tried to solve it like Val did in an earlier post, but it doesn’t help anything.. The error keeps repeating itself and now I don’t know anymore what I should do!
Can please anyone help me out so I can use my iPhone again, because this is really making me nervous!

Dear HAn
I followed exactly what u had guide. Managed to unlock using iLiberty but the problem with the sounds still not solve.

If u have other idea, appreciate if u can share with me

Thanks for the valuable guidance

Dear Han
U said the problem is something to do with the baseband. Should i include “Erase Baseband (BL 3.9 Only)”?

Dear Han,

Which one should be included bettween all these
-Reflash Baseband to version 04.01.13_G(BL 3.9 only)
-Reflash Baseband to version 04.02.13_G(BL 3.9 only)
-Reflash Baseband to version 04.03.13_G(BL 3.9 only)
-Reflash Baseband to version 04.04.05_G(BL 3.9 only)

Thanks

Dear Hazel
For your reference, below are the options that I included for iLiberty+:
- Activate 1.0.2-1.1.4
- AppSupport Patch for 1.1.2-1.1.4
- BootNeuter
- BSD Subsystem
- Cydia
- Downgrade bootloader from 4.6 to 3.9B
- Fix mobile folder permission
- Installer
- International support for iPhone 1.1.4
- OpenSSH
- Relocate fonts and ringtones
- Unlock 03.14.08_G - 04.04.05_G
- Youtube fix

I don’t think that reflashing the baseband is necessary, since it looks more like a precaution and I’m not sure which version your iPhone is currently using.

If your problem still persists, try using a different 1.1.4 restore file from another source.

Works great. All the other guides said to uninstall mobile device thingy, but then itunes didn’t recognize the iphone. now it all works. thanks.

on my iphone appears error..
BSD root:md0, major 2, minor 0.
itunes cannot recognize my iphone and i cannot make it to recovery mode.pls help me…

also on error appears invalid calibration data in device tree???please help me..thanks..

after start Kiphone “attempt stuck on my phone..what shuld i do..pls help me..thanks..

Dear Han, I did followed as per above, install evertything as per stated, but unfortunately still no sound.

I also download the firmware fom another location.

Baseband; 3.9
Bootloader; 04.04.05G

Thanks

i am stuck on step 4, when i open the 1.14 firmware in itunes i get an error message saying “software for this iphone is currently unavailable. make sure you have the latest version of itunes and try again” any ideas? thanks!

Jennifer,

Thanks for instructions. I have followed your instructions with few variations and my phone is back in working condition now.

Step 13 –> I have used KiPhone to downgrade baseband
Step 14 –> ZiPhone to do final work to enable phone..

Thanks.

Thanks guys, I was able to get this to work after a short while after a slight learning curve. Thanks again!

This will make someone’s day (or really late night as the case with me):

I was using a 2G iPhone unlocked and jailbroken to 2.0 using pwnage. I tried to downgrade as per above and I was getting error 1604 after putting iPhone into DFU. iTunes would detect it and let me run ‘restore’ (with 1.1.4) but after a couple minutes it would return with the 1604 error in iTunes and my iPhone would show the pineapple then cartoon Steve Jobs saying ‘npebea’. I was using a MacBook Air so I read in my frantic research to try a different computer so I tried using my desktop iMac. That did nothing for me …. same results.

So I finally came across a blog here (http://www.brooksgarrett.com/hacking/downgrading-iphone-1g-20-to-114) with a suggestion to delete the folder found here /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework

This folder must be deleted manually (even if you used AppZapper or similar to uninstall iTunes 7.7). You will need to enter your system password to delete it since it is a framework. Be sure you are quit out of iTunes when you remove this file and relaunch iTunes.

Next I shift option clicked restore in itunes with the iPhone in DFU, selected 1.1.4 and it worked perfectly - giving me the much coveted error 1015. I then ran the 1.1.4 again and followed instructions as was suggested at http://www.brooksgarrett.com which is closely similar to the steps found here by moin and _x_.

If I had known to manually delete MobileDevice.framework folder, the whole downgrade process would have only taken 15 - 30 minutes instead of the 5 hours spent researching.

Good luck to all … hope this helps someone and maybe even saves a wall from a flying iPhone.

Thanks Moin and all who posted their experiences.

Tested and confirmed to work on firmware version 2.0.1 with a first generation iPhone.

You guys are the absolute BEST!!! I have just followed your instructions to the letter and IT WORKS!!! The aniticipation was torture until those little bars came up and the words Telstra Mobile beside them appeared. You ROCK. For anyone reading this from Australia, it works for our networks too. Thanks soooo much.

hey, i don’t seem to be able to download kiphone? is there any other website apart from rapid share?

hey guys theres is now a way to unlock 2.0 so if you guys need help with that i would be more than honored
