iPhone

Post by Ritchie »

Hi all

Been puzzling with this one all afternoon, mate of mine brought back an iPhone from Singapore, with a x-sim in it, and all was working fine whilst running his Voda contract. He plugged it into PC and iTunes updated the software to firmware 1.1.3

Which has locked the phone out, there are loads of tutorials on the net about downgrading, and re-virginising the thing, but i can't seem to get any to work. We have played around getting it to downgrade (or restore) old versions of the firmware, but it seems to be locked into restore mode when we do that...

Anyone had any experiance with iPhones and unlocking/hacking them?

Cheers

Ritchie
