Up to now it is not possible to unlock the iPhone OOTB 1.1.2. The only way to get this phone working with full phone abilities, is to use a trurbosim card. But what you can do is use your iPhone 1.1.2 as some kind of iPod Touch. Jailbreaking the iPhone Firmware 1.1.2 is a more or less easy procedure. So give it a try and activate and jailbreak your iPhone OOTB 1.1.2 with this easy manual.
Part 1 - DOWNLOADING FILES
Download the apple 1.1.1 firmware file:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-3883.20070927.In76t/iPhone1,1_1.1.1_3A109a_Restore.ipsw
Download Ibrickr - Windows or 1.1.2 jailbreak - OS X
Ibrickr : http://ibrickr.com/downloads/ibrickr_v0.91.zip
1.1.2 jailbreak : http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/1.1.2-jailbreak.zip
Part 2 - DOWNGRADING FROM 1.1.2 TO 1.1.1
Install iTunes if not already installed
- -Connect your iPhone via USB to your Computer, Itunes starts and you see the ACTIVATION Screen
- -Click the MENU and THE POWER BUTTON at the same time and keep pressing them until Itunes tells you that it has detected that your Iphone is in recovery Mode, this could take something from 10 seconds to 30 seconds, so keep pressing both buttons until you get the message
- -Once you get the message dismiss the warning message in Itunes (Itunes has detected .....) by pressing OK and now you have 2 options , the first is Search for Updates and the second, that we will use is RECOVER
BEFORE YOU PRESS ON THE RECOVER BUTTON YOU NEED TO PRESS YOUR SHIFT BUTTON IN WINDOWS (OPTIONS BUTTON IN MAC) AND THEN PRESS RECOVER
Now a "Browse your files" window will open, go and chose the firmware 1.1.1 file you have downloaded in step 1 and press open
Itunes will start downgrading your iphone (this takes some time) and the downgrade process will end up with an error message 1013 or 1015 THIS IS VERY NORMAL
Next if you are using Windows open Ibrickr and chose the Option "Reboot my Iphone" to kick your Iphone out of the Recovery Mode
On Mac use iNdependence to kick the phone out of recovery mode http://independence.googlecode.com/
Now you iphone will restart and you will have an ACTIVATION PAGE on your iphone with the nice round World image.
Part 3 - ACTIVATE AND JAILBREAK
Before you complete this part MAKE SURE that the AT&T Sim card is in your phone
Now, you are on the activation screen that says slide to make an emergency call, slide to get to the keypad and then do the following:
Dial *#307# and hit call
The iPhone will now start to ring itself, once it start to ring you have to erase *#307# by using the backslash button on your iphone and then type 0 and then CALL, the iphone will ring again and this time hit "Answer" then hit "Hold", the Phone will start to ring itself again, this time click "Decline".
Now on the screen you should be able to get to the contacts menu down the bottom, tap "Contacts" and then add a contact. Use the following instructions:
Add the Name "Testing" and tap save
Tap "Add URL" and type "prefs://1F" then tap save
Tap "Add URL" again and type "http://jailbreakme.com" then tap save
When this is done, tap "Save" again and it will take you to the contact page displaying the name "Test" and the two URLs you just added. Tap the "prefs://1F" URL and it will open the iPhone Settings page.
Tap "General" and Then "Auto-Lock", set it to "Never".
Go back to the settings page
From here, tap WiFi and Add your WiFi network and make sure you are connected to it
Now, hit the Menu button to go back to the Activation Screen, slide and dial the number 0, the iPhone will now ring itself again, tap answer, then hold, then decline just like before.
Now, hit contacts again and then Testing, this time go to the "http://jailbreakme.com" URL and scroll to the bottom and
click on "Install AppSnapp".
Safari will now close and your iPhone will now go back to the Activation Screen.
Once you get to the activation screen slide to get to the dial pad again and when you do this iPhone will restart by itself and thats it, your now activated and jailbroken.
Part 4 - UPGRADE TO FIRMWARE 1.1.2 & ACTIVATE AND JAILBREAK

- Your ITUNES is still open on your PC or MAC now press UPDATE and ITUNES will update your iphone to FIRMWARE 1.1.2 and this time you will not get an error message like the last time when you downgraded to 1.1.1

hmmm.... will i be able to use some other sim cards? will my phone work or is this just "convert iPhone to iPod" tutorial?
Hi, I followed your instruction and got up to the Oktoprep part, I installed it successfully, I got that message saying ok to update to 1.1.2, I updated yes UPDATED not restored, I UPDATED to 1.1.2 and when it turned on it shows the cable and slide for emergency in four languages(including English) does that mean it did not work. I tried running JAILBREAK.JAR and I keep getting te message that it cannot find iPhone to restart computer and reconnect iPhone. Why is that happening anyone know...is that Oktoprep file not working? am I suppose to launch it in restore mode or something please someone answer unless otherwise you have a link to the answer....thank you very much!!
PS
Do I really need to update to 1.1.2? can I stay here with 1.1.1?

Well it worked for me but i didnt have to do the part from *#307# to the making the contact person... dont ask how or what i did cuz i was following this and i didnt get the call the part and stuff so i skipped and went straight forward. its unlocked now and i am having a blast.
I love how simple the instructions are, too bad the full unlock hasn't been discovered yet. I am currently downloading all the necessary components.I have one big dilemna though. I don't have high speed internet or a wifi connection. So can I do the first couple of steps at my house with and then go to a public library (i think they have wifi?) and add a wifi network there? And then come back home and finish the rest of the steps there? Tell me what you think. Also tell me what steps i should make sure i complete at the library before i come back to my house and finish the rest. Also remember you can't download files at a public library. Thanks and hope you can reply asap!
Sincerely,
Haben
does that mean that we can use it(1.1.2 ootb) as an ipod touch for the moment? Or can we install anysim after downgrading to 1.1.1 and complete the full unlock? Thx alot
nadjib:
it can only be used as an ipod touch. The unlock for "1.1.1" is actually for the bootloader 3.6, which came on the 1.1.1 iphones. The 1.1.2 ones have a new bootloader, 4.6, which they havent cracked yet. Soon I would think though.
i just want to check, i have everything done up until updating back to 1.1.2. but when i go to do that through itunes, it says it wants to update to 1.1.3 , will this stuff it up? or will it really only update to 1.1.2 when i click this?
