ZiPhone: Unlock, Jailbreak, Or Repair Your 1.1.2/1.1.3 OTB iPhone

Yesterday we showed you how GeoHot managed to unlock OTB iPhones running 1.1.2 or 1.1.3. Although the guide in there would allow anyone with time or experience to achieve the unlock, Zibri from iPhone-Elite has created ZiPhone to handle the bulk of the work for you. Using ZiPhone means that you don’t even have to downgrade to 1.1.1 firmware for this to work anymore. But it doesn’t stop at unlocking. ZiPhone can actually Jailbreak your iPhone along with the ability to repair your baseband for you as well. Zibri has made the program available for both OS X and Windows users so anyone can take advantage of this on your brand new 16gb iPhone. With the SDK launching this month, the cat and mouse game may actually slow down long enough for people to enjoy their jailbroken or unlocked iPhones without having to sacrifice new features

*UPDATE* Check out Zibri’s blog for the new version of ZiPhone 1.1. Apparently all you have to do is run the program , nothing else!

Compliments to the ModMyiFone community for making the downloads available to non-members:

Windows download

OS X download

cosmoLV from MMi has released this easy to follow guide:

The famous George Hotz (aka GeoHot) has managed to do it again. If you have found yourself trapped with 1.1.3 out of the box on your new 8gb or 16gb iPhone and where hoping to unlock it, you’re in luck! After claiming that this feat would be impossible, GeoHot spent 24 hours to prove himself wrong and apparently he succeeded.

If you’re looking for a full guide to soft unlock your iPhone, you’ll want to either check out GeoHot’s Blog or the ModMyiFone Forums. Both include full detailed guides that will lead you through the process, making it very easy for you to accomplish this task. Although, just as both of those sites will tell you, you need to follow all of the directions completely or you may risk bricking your iPhone.

With the recent launch of the 16gb iPhone shipping out with 1.1.3 firmware, expect to see a slue of these things all over ebay, regardless of which countries are selling the it domestically.
