Purchased iPhones belong to their buyers, not to the company that sold them. iPhone owners should be able to install whatever software they want in their iPhones.

What's next? Apple will dictate what music, pictures, and ring tones are uploaded to the iPhones! And next, who can own an iPhone and who cannot!

Apple is now writing viruses for its own products. This was a premeditated attack on its consumers. Very Sad and shameful...

Hey Apple, this is America! Land of the consumers that made you who you are. It's a shame that companies loose respect for their consumers as they get fatter and fatter.

Waiting for the real geniuses to write the antidote.

it is very easy to downgrade
Submitted by pablo (not verified) on Fri, 09/28/2007 - 21:21.

it is very easy to downgrade the phone to 1.0.2 - find the update in download form (google search) and once you have it on your mac hold the option key when you push the restore button in itunes - it will pop up asking for you to locate the file - and voila 1.0.2 iphone

My question is in response to many stating that all the 3rd party apps are now "hidden" and still on the phone. 1. How do you know that they are still there? -and- 2. How do I now clean them off if they are indeed "hidden".

Thanks!

The newest firmware that can support unlock was 1.0.2(1C28). You will probably get an older firmware than this one, but you can no longer update it to 1.0.2(1C28) because if you update it will go straight to the new 1.1.1 firmware.

You just have to stick with whatever firmware your iPhone comes with and unlock it from there.

Best hack of all is a fw installer that can decrypt the released fw, patch/add and repackage it. Then any number of changes could be sent down.

Although I personally believe those that unlocked their iPhone have no reason to complain about Apple, unlocking a phone is not illegal.

2) iTunes wi-fi application button added
3) home button has double-click option
4) option - when playing music, show iPod controls instead on/off (no difference to me)
5)camera - same
6)wifi reception - same
7)yahoo mail does not hang phone when downloading large attachments (1meg)
7a)clicking on folder initiates refresh which continues even after navigating away from mail app
7b) after downloading images inside email, navigating away and back, images are still there. cache seems larger
8)stocks can be reordered
9)weather can be reordered
10) keyboard menu has "." shortcut on/off

Too bad about losing the ringtones I put on there and really I don't wanna put a song as a ringtone. I want my audio files.

pantsonfireliarliar

I use AT&T pay-as-you-go(Prepaid plan), because I don't have any SSN

However, when I finished 1.1.1 update, and reboot my Iphone, my Itunes said that it cannot connect to Itunes store, because network something.

What it means?? Really, I never do anything on my Iphone. :-(

chang3740

I did a v1.02 restore to wipe the device clean of all mods, then clicked restore once again to get v1.1.1.

I guess paying the $50 was worth it in the end!

Good luck!

I don't plan to unlock. I've been an AT&T/Cingular customer for some time so I'm good.

I have apps installed that I dont want to lose, but have not unlocked my phone. W/o 3rd party native apps what would I use my phone for? keeping apps updated and installing new apps keeps my phone fun - because these updates are pretty weak. w/o apps it's just a phone... and that bores me.

Lame. I'll buy another refurb iphone if they won't honor the applecare I just activated on this phone, I think they can remove it if I never used it?

tomsucks

i had a similar issue earlier yesterday while trying to unlock the iphone...i tried using the anysim with the original att sim inside the iphone not realising that it had to be removed..anyways...it got stuck or something and basically the baseband or comm center or something was unloaded somehow...and in trying to get somewhere i deactivated with ibrickr...now i was stuck..cause ibrickr recognized the iphone as jailbreaked but the activation was required...and the "i" icon next to activation could not recognise the IMEI or CCID. i tried with the other original sims/tmobile sims etc ..nada.nothing worked and was to the same effect..realizing that the baseband is unloaded or comm center is stopped. So i am jailbreaked and still require activation and my radio is off ..now what do i do...here is how..run pacay...and click activate.bat...for some reason that loaded the comm center back and activation thru ibrickr went thru...i am guessing the same happened with brian lam's phone..with the activation the rtadio is off and it does not recognise any sim irrespective of att or tmobile...try running pacay and see if it picks up the radio

Let me know..

vipari

You do NOT need to upgrade Itunes for to download the 1.1.1 update. I'm still running iTunes 7.4.1.2 so I can make my own ringtones, and I plugged in my iPhone to verify. I didn't install the update though....I like RBI Baseball too much.

it will update fine your phone will work fine, but all your downloads and settings will be gone, it will restore your phone first so everything you had will be gone. so just think of it as your phone when you bought it, plus itunes

Actually, I think I would have one right now if it had 3G. But nope. Apple made the wrong choice on that one. Lets hope the iPhone 3G rumors are true, and come sooner than expected. If only...

Heck, if you were sufficiently malleable, you would've known that was going to happen several days ago when Apple said that's exactly what would happen.

leicaman

So the 'Not a Valid SIM' problem could be one of two possibilities.

a) anySIM screwed your IMEI number. Check to see if it looks valid. Should be the same as the one on your original iPhone box.

OR

b) The 'legit' AT&T SIM you talk about was activated on ANOTHER iPhone.

See here about IMEI error:

Collect these files from the web:
1. ICE03.14.08_G.eep
2. ICE03.14.08_G.fls
3. bbupdater

Use iBricker to upload these files to /usr/bin

Next, install OpenSSH and make a SSH connection (I use the free software Putty on my Windows Vista to connect to the iPhone) into the iPhone and then go to /usr/bin using the command:
cd /usr/bin

Next, run the command:
chmod +x bbupdater

Next, run this command:
bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep

This will reload the original baseband firmware. After this, do a restore in iTunes to the new firmware. This should make your phone appear as a genuine locked AT&T phone again.

I haven't tried this, but I believe it should work (at least it should accept your AT&T SIM).

Also, "bricked" means the phone is useless and you have to throw it away. These phones aren't bricked. It's just software - there is a way around it. It'll just take a bit of time and patience.

ocelotpotpie

JSCiPhone

Actually we do, but my point was:

It doesn't work for now, and even if the phone turns on but you can't activate it, you can't do a damn thing with it, so it is useless--except for a fancy paperweight with a pretty screen that says "Connect to iTunes to Activate".

macmanwa

My iPhone is unlocked so I can't try it. Are there any 3rd party software available to improve the volume of the iPhone?

Kobe_No_Means_No

bazemore

As I understand it from the posts, if you update, then you lose use of your 3rd party apps. End of story.

If you have further questions, then enter the space monkey program and see for yourself when you get burned on re-entry.

BZATWORK

Rationale: Paperweights are pretty to look at. . .hold paper down from flying away- and that's about it.

Same principle with i-phone that's paperweighted: pretty to look at "ooooo, look, a picture of the Earth", good at holding down papers from flying away, but that's about it.

So - it's paperweighted. Outstanding!!!

BZATWORK

I assumed I was safe, but I never unlocked, I am a current AT&T customer, and I only used AppTapp/Installer.app but I am also shut out.

thechansen

I think "relocks it proper" is a good term for it. But i prefer to call it pseudo-bricked. Sure I can turn it on but NOTHING happens.

thechansen

Man, I hope you're kidding.

BZATWORK

if your phone is bricked it means NOTHING happens, it does not turn on, it does not show anything. it is a ...... wait for it....... BRICK.

[UPDATE: It doesn't brick it, but "relocks it proper"]

Clear as mud. Let me take a crack at interpreting:

"Friends: don't update if you want everything to stay as it is. Chances are, you're going to get bricked, lose your 3rd party apps, and sacrifice your first born. Instead, might I suggest you let the professional pipe-hitting hackers get their tools, Jolt cola and hyperlinks on and work on the system a little. More to come."

BZATWORK

Same way with Youtube, you get crap quality most times on EDGE, but sharp and clean on wifi. Benefits here and there...

So if this is the case, isn't it effectively "bricked" (for now)--meaning it turns on, but you can't use it at all until someone figures out a way to fix the no SIM valid problem?

Do I want to upgrade? You bet. Do I have an irresistible urge to do it? Yeppers. Am I going to? Not until I get the "All Clear" sign from someone a little less cavalier than Mr./Ms. "It doesn't brick it."

Regardless, my hat is off to you early upgraders - you're the test monkeys of this space program. Sounds like some others are being burnt on re-entry. Better recheck your facts.

Thank you. That is clearer. So the current word (for now) is as follows:

If you have 3rd party apps installed on your i-phone, don't do update if you want to keep them. The update wipes them out (or at least hides them).

Good enough for me - screw the update until there is a patch.

Apple made the Frances "psycho" Sawyer list. . . any of you guys call me Frances. . .and I'll kill ya.
