Unlock Iphone
Instructions on how to unlock your iphone for free
Firstly Download the following iphone unlock files :
iBrickr
itunes.dll
Place the dll into the iBrickr program folder on your desktop (or wherever you decide to place it) and confirm that you want to replace the existing file.
Launch iBrickr. Click the "Free my iPhone!" button. This starts the iphone unlock process
A message about running jailbreak will appear next.
Now press and hold the iphone Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the power off slider appears. Slide the slider to the right.
Press the Sleep/Wake button again to turn on the iPhone.
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold both the Home and the Sleep/Wake button until a yellow triangle graphic appears.
This part of the iphone unlock process only takes a few minutes
Click the "Sweet!" button.
Finally you'll get the Welcome to iBrickr! message. Close iBrickr at this time.
Next we are going to activate the iphone and make YouTube work in one easy step. Download the point and click with activation (with youtube) file here Open the folder and double click the "(CLICK HERE) activate.bat" file.
At this screen press any key
The program will continue scrolling text faster than you'll have time to read it.
Now turn off the iPhone and turn it back on. Once you have press any key.
Finally press any key again and this program will close.
Your iPhone is now activated and you should be at the springboard. Your YouTube program icon will work (once you select your network and enter the password). If you used an AT&T compatible SIM that is active, you can now make and receive phone calls. Any other SIM will not work yet. At this point your iphone is not unlocked. Now that we have access to the springboard we can check to see what version of firmware is on the iPhone. Press "Settings", "General", "About" and look where it says "Version". If it is 1.0, or 1.0.1 then use iTunes to restore your iPhone to the 1.0.2 firmware only. If it is already 1.0.2 then you don't need to do anything, just skip ahead to Step 5.
To restore your iPhone to the same or previous firmware, simply connect it to your computer and iTunes will launch automatically. At the "Let's get started" screen click the "Cancel" button, select "Set up as new phone". Click the "Restore" button to upgrade your iPhone's firmware following these instructions.
Make sure when you are done upgrading that you go to the "Devices" section in iTunes and eject the iPhone. Close iTunes.
Launch iBrickr again. Click the "Applications" link.
Click the "Install PXL" button.
You'll get a message about the installation.
Turn off the iPhone then turn on the iPhone and then click the "Continue" button.
Restart the iPhone again, then click the "Check for PXL" button.
Click the "Browse applications" button.
Click on the text link that says "anySIM v1.01" This is the iphone unlock software . There is a new v1.02 which should be available. If not you can get the program here. It was revised to reduce the amount of false failed to unlock messages due to a programming bug. I have no phones to test this with so it's up to you which version you use with these instructions.
You'll get a message once the installation is complete.
The anySIM application should now be on your springboard.
Next press "Settings", "General", "Auto-Lock", then select "Never". This will keep the iPhone from sleeping while running the unlocker.
Press the anySIM icon. This will take about 15 minutes to complete.
Read through the legal stuff regarding the unlock iphone software and click the big red button at the bottom.
Several status messages and progress bars will fly by over the course of the next 15 minutes or so. The most prominent are Dumping the NOR, Waiting for Erase Completion and Flashing the Baseband. If the stars are aligned properly then you will get this screen. Click "OK" and you will be sent back to the springboard.
Note: You might get a failure message that says the flash succeeded but the unlocking failed. This is very common as there is a bug in the program. Insert the SIM you want to use into the iPhone at this point. Confirm that you can make a phone call and receive a phone call. If you can then it worked. I also find that the carrier name doesn't display initially until you've made a phone call.
If you are using a SIM other than an AT&T compatible one, a new menu will be added in your "Settings".
You might want to delete the anySIM application from your iPhone. Go back to iBrickr and look in your applications section, you should see anySIM on the graphic of the iPhone with a red icon next to it. Just click that icon to delete it from the springboard.
You'll get a prompt to confirm you want to delete the application.
You'll get confirmation that the application was deleted.
Congratulations the iphone unlock process is now completed and you have unlocked your iphone for free without the use of unlock codes.
