Hello fellows, Ziphone application is the latest iPhone jailbreak and unlock in just minutes.
No downgrading then upgrading! You can do the unlock from 1.1.2, 1.1.3, or 1.1.4. It will also jailbreak and activate as well as install Installer.app for you!
ZiPhone performs all these functions:
- Unlock will work on 4.6 BL or 3.9 BL
- Jailbreak will work on any OS version.
- Activation will work on any OS version, except for youtube on 1.0.X.
- iErase BL 3.9 Baseband
WARNING: THIS TUTORIAL WILL DOWNGRADE YOUR BOOTLOADER TO 3.9!
Step One
Download ZiPhone (Windows and Mac) from: Here
Step Two
Double click ZiPhoneWin-2.5b.exe (ZiPhoneOSX-2.5c.tbz for make) on your desktop, you can either extract or install it to Program Files.
Step Three
From the ZiPhone folder double click ziphoneGUI.exe to launch the application.
Step Four
Make sure you iPhone is connected to the computer and that iTunes has detected it.
Step Five
You can now activate, jailbreak, and unlock,! Just simply click the Do It All! button. 
Step Six
The program will now load zibri.dat. Then it will search for the iPhone. Once found it will start the unlocking process should take around 4 to 6 minutes.
Step Eight
After completion iPhone will reboot and it will be activated, jailbroken, and unlocked!!!!
NOTE*: Make sure after completion make sure you install BSD Subsystem first then OpenSSH from Installer.app
Checkout the video below, it will show the entire process.

How come my ipod touch says waiting for response and it stays stuck?
March 4th, 2008 at 7:52 am
ziphone works Great!! It only gives me an error when downloading BSD subsystem. why do I need it? Thanks!!!
March 4th, 2008 at 7:57 am
my youtube doesnt work man
March 4th, 2008 at 11:45 am
@oleg aramyelyev
Have you installed the BSD Subsystem first then OpenSSH from Installer.app.
@Amir
Which firmware are you using.
@Diaz
Are you sure you only clicked on Jailbreak only.
March 4th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
1.0.2 OTB >Revirginized > Manual Restore to 1.1.3 > ZiPhone 2.5 > Jailbroken, Activated, Unlocked.
Q1) I don’t even know what my Bootloader is (is this changed after any procedure or fixed?). How can I tell?
Q2) In his YouTube video, he recommended iErase for 1.1.1 or lower who “has already upgraded”. Does this include mine?
Please help me.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
@JH if you upgrade to 1.1.3 then the bootloader is updated to version 4.6, if you have jailbreaked, activated and unlocked using ziphone 2.5 it will automatically downgrade the BOOTLOADER TO 3.9!
hope that answers the 1st question.
For the 2nd question i would like to know which firmware version you are using.
March 5th, 2008 at 7:45 am
okay i just followed the steps, i have an ipod touch and the version is 1.1.4 when the jailbreaking was complete i went to installer and tried to install the BSD subsystem but when it downloaded it said error cannot package.
help please!
March 5th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
@J-R0K
if you are having the “package download failed” problem try this trick
1) You need to update to Community Sources v3.6 by going to Sources and hit refresh
2) Click on the Update tab at the bottom and Now here is the tricky part! instead of selecting the individual item (Community Sources in this case) and pressing update, click on UPDATE ALL button at the top
3) at this point you shouldn’t get the “package download failed” error and can now proceed to install BSD
i hope it works
March 6th, 2008 at 6:42 am
ok, everytime i try to run the ziphone 2.5c jailbreak, the text on my ipod screen stops and then keeps repeating the same thing over again
BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0
whats the problem?
March 6th, 2008 at 9:17 am
what is BSD Subsystem and OpenSSH? where do i find these 2 program? do i need to download it?
thanx
March 6th, 2008 at 10:10 am
@Caleb try this link i’m sure this will fix that problem..

March 6th, 2008 at 10:16 am
@knot if you have already jailbroken,activated and unlocked go to the “Installer” by pressings its icon on your SpringBoard now press the “Install” tab at the bottom of the screen after that select “System” from the list of Categories now select the BSD Subsystem package from the list of System packages. Now press the Install button at the top right of the screen after that press the large Install button that appears. If some message comes press ok you’ll be good to go now.
In the same “System” you’ll get the OpenSSH package. Install it the same way.
Remember you can install this way only if you have your Wifi internet running nearby.(Say you wifi router with broadband)
March 6th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
hi people.
I have used ziphone to unlock jailbrake and active the same. but i am still not able to use my simcard. i have installed BSB subsystem but i am not able to install Unlock(1.1.4) from the iClarified???? Is the OpenSSh important? how to i procced with? when i boght the iphone it was 1.1.13 then i upgraded it to 1.1.4 now. i have modem version as 04.04.05_G even i tried downgrading the BL with Ziphone. Please help….
Thanks
Vijay
March 6th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
@Vijay if u have upgraded to 1.1.4 and used ziphone to unlock it it should automatically downgrade the bootloader to 3.9.
You can try upgrading to 1.1.4 by restoring it to 1.1.4 not by updating it. Then unlocking it using ziphone. If it doesn’t works try this new hack.

@Juan Carlos Arellano
Hello did you let the sources update, or you could use other download sources also. Give it a try.
March 7th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Actually i don’t quite understand the video. i have a fresh iphone 16GB. What should i do?
March 8th, 2008 at 12:38 am
I havea new 16GB 1.1.4 I have noticed that the BSD subsystem in installer is the 2.0 and not the 2.1 like in other Iphone.
Amir
March 8th, 2008 at 12:41 am
@Amir i think you need to update the sources, try this link and see whats the developer saying.
http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/
March 8th, 2008 at 12:59 am
but how can i update the sources???
March 8th, 2008 at 1:03 am
@Dude hello dude, if u have already 1.1.4 firmware then download that ziphone and start the process.
Read the POST
March 8th, 2008 at 1:11 am
@Juan Carlos Arellano try the Refresh button when you are inside the Installer app, it should be at the top.
March 8th, 2008 at 4:42 am
Hi,
I can’t slide to the next screen on the home
March 8th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
@Toan how can that happen.
March 12th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
HI,
I have a jailbroken 1.1.1 iphone, what do i need to do?
Do i need to restore to 1.1.3 and use ziphone to jailbreak and then restore to 1.1.4.
Thank you in advance.
March 12th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
My iphone is already jailbroken and currently in v 1.0.2. If I use ziphone, will it be able to unlock it again since it’s already unlocked before? I’m not sure my Bootloader version, does it matter while upgrading?
March 12th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
@JD try doing a restore to 1.1.4 straight then unlocking with ziphone.
@Harry you can try restoring to 1.1.4 after that start the unlock with ziphone.
March 13th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Hello,
I have a OTB 1.1.3 that I update with itunes to 1.1.4 the use ziphone 2.5c with mac. all goes well exept that when on a call if 2nd call come it goes strait to voicemail without noticing me or giving me options, then when I hang up it tells me that I have a new voicemail. did I do something wrong, somebody else with same problem… thanks for solutions.
March 13th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
@Jean-Claude Lepretre
hello, nice to see you have unlocked the iphone. Its a problem with the EDGE network. If you’re on Wifi, your calls should be coming through. But with edge its a basic problem. TRy restarting the iPhone if you haven’t done yet.
March 16th, 2008 at 7:15 am
Hi,i am kind of new bee and i have just bought brand new i-phone 1.1.4 and haven’t open it yet.i already downloaded ziphone 2.5 and install it on my desktop. but i don’t understand anything about BSD Subsystem and open SSH ?. i watched so many videos on you-tube but couldn’t understand or have no idea how to and from where to where install BSD subsystem .also do i have to install these first before i hit key of ” DO IT ALL” ON ZIPHONE.?PLEASE help me to batter understand this process .and it may help other new bee too. Thanks again.
March 16th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
@mike
Hey mike download the latest ziphone 2.6b from ziphone.org . You have to first jailbreak before you could use that BSD, openSSh.
proceed to clicking on DO IT ALL. the installer app should come after the jailbreak and active, unlock completes. THe BSD and the openssh should be in the systems folder inside the installer app. Make sure you refresh the installer app.(on the top thr should be a refresh icon press that)
March 20th, 2008 at 12:12 am
For me, after jailbreaking 1.1.4 with AT&T service, the voicemail did not work either, nothing happened when tapping the voicemail icon. I came across all those sites that tell you to type a certain number on the keypad. I just called my iphone to leave a voicemail which was previously set up. After a few seconds, both the missed call count and the voicemail count showed up. Voicemail was just working fine after that.
March 20th, 2008 at 1:09 am
You need to restart you cell after unlocking and jailbreaking! sometimes a kick always needed to get things working! Right
March 20th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Hi,
I used the ziphone 2.5c on my new 8GB Iphone with 1.1.4 firmware.
After initial glitches it successfully unlocked the phone and its working fine with all SIM cards. However i am facing the following problems :( :
1. The edge connection never works (i have done the required settings in network tab)
2. When WIFI is connected, if i try to open a site in SAFARI, it says “POSIX Memory Allocation Error”
3. If i try You tube it says “Server not available”
4. the same with MAILS also.
I am unable to install the BSD Subsystem and OpenSSH as WIFI is not working fine :(
CAn any one tell me what is the use of the BSD Subsystem and OpenSSH and How do i install it in my case.
Also what do i do for the WIFI, EDGE and SAFARI problems :(
Thanks in advance for the help
March 20th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
@abhay
Hello,
seems really weired! i have never encountered this kinds of problems with any of the iphones i have unlocked.
Again try restoring your firmware to either 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 then use the latest ziphone 2.6b. might be some error while the unlocking process. Try again i can only say that. If you have any trouble please put in a comment.
March 20th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
hey pranjal,
i was just trying out various things….and observed that with one of the SIM’s i was able to surf using safari and was also able to check you tube (Thru EDGE connection).
However teh problem of “POSIX MEMORY ALLOCATION ERROR ” occurs when i try SAFARI with WIFI connection.
I just not happy to go back to the recover mode and try everything from begining….
Wat if my iphone gets BRICKED ???
Plz tell me some other way :)
March 20th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Hello abhay ,
i have requested you for chat on Googletalk. I’ll talk with you thr!
March 24th, 2008 at 2:55 am
Hello,
Everybody, please be patient with me and others who have far less experience. I have recently(20/3/08) “done it all” on an older iPhone (week 25) and I am with TMobile and that is great!!! I did not download bsd subsystem before starting since it was not mentioned in the directions on iphonehacks.com. I have the YouTube connectivity problem. Have tried Bossman and Frederic’s YouTube Activator 1.1.4, no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
March 24th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Hi, I keep getting the BSD ROOT message on my ipod. I tried holding down the power and home keep for a about 5 minutes and it does nothing. Can someone help me please!
March 24th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
@abhay
Just wait for few more days there should be new application named iLiberty that will fix the wifi, edge problem.
March 24th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
@Jing
Try restoring your iPod to 1.1.4 via iTunes then use the NEW ZIPHONE software.
download the latest ziphone app from ziphone.org, it has the BSD error fix.
Cheers
March 24th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
@imamatthews
BSD Subsystem and Open SSH are absolutely necessary for most 3rd party jailbroken apps.
how to install is given here
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=687
the tutorial shows how to install the BSD subsytem only, but the same place you will find the OpenSSH
March 25th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Hello, I just bought a brand new iphone. Do I need to restore to 1.1.4 before unlocking with ziphone? Also is there any way to tell what version of firmware I have? I assume it is 1.1.4 as the phone is new. Thank you!
March 26th, 2008 at 12:26 am
THE ONLY THING THAT DOESN’T WORK IS MY NET AND APPS THAT NEED THE NET(YOUTUBE). I ATTEMPTED TO DOWNLOAD THE BSD Subsystem and OpenSSH AND I GET THE “PACKAGE DOWNLOAD FAILED” POP-UP. I HAVE THE T-ZONES $5.99 PLAN….WHAT’S GOING ON?
March 26th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
@thehawk
Assuming you have bought the latest iphone this month! its 1.1.4 version firmware, restoring to 1.1.4 is a good thing before attempting the hack. Also download the latest ziphone tool before hacking the iphone. after the hacking install the BSD subsytem, and the OpenSSH.
March 26th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
@JDiva
Have you jailbroken, unlocked and activated it.
1 thing you can do. Restore to the latest 1.1.4 firmware and after that hack the iphone with the latest ZiPhone tool. LATEST means absolutely latest.
March 28th, 2008 at 2:10 am
Hi there
I have an already jailbroken phone with 1.1.2 at the moment.Can I restore to 1.1.4 and use ziphone?
Or do I need to downgrade to 1.1.1 first?
Thank You

March 28th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
hello @John Clarke
You can straight away restore to the iPhone 1.1.4 firmware! but make sure you use the latest ziphone software. The 2.7 might have came in few more days. It has couple of fixes related to the Wifi, youtube and few other problem. I recommend waiting for few more days.

Hi,
at the moment i have a jailbroken 16gb iTouch v 1.1.4 and i have the installer icon there and ive been installing like crazy. 2 things -
1 - the mail, weather, stocks, maps, notes icons are not displayed in the desktop. I use a “Category” application to lessen the amount of icons in the desktop. When i listed the icons to put in a specific category, there were the mail, weather, stocks, maps, notes icons in the list. but when i put them in the category and try to open, the iphone jsut exits immediately to desktop if i try loading them.
2 - is there any easy way to store other data files (Ex docs) on the itouch just as there other ipods had the ability (like an external hd)
Thanks a mill!!!
March 30th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Help me plz, i just had my iphone unlocked under iliberty and everything is just fine in beginning but at the end it hang there with an apple icon with a cursor on it …i cant do anything to reboot or shut it down…i gonna cry plz help me…
March 30th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
@James (not bond)
I think you messed up with almost everything. I did suggest you restoring your firmare and unlocking and jailbreaking again.
Cheers.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
@Heeroyuy
Can’t you restore the iphone using your itunes to restore the firmware!
March 30th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
So let me get it straight….. after i jailbreak my ipod, and should get the installer icon and Ziphone blog icon, i should also have the other icons; being mail, weather etc?
March 31st, 2008 at 4:12 am
how can I delete the Z icon on the desktop of my iphone
March 31st, 2008 at 10:07 am
@Michael Zhong
Hold any icon until they wobble, once they do, tap the “x” located on the icon you wish to delete.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:02 am
I already jailbreak my Ipod touch, but I can´t download any package, when I click install it says Package download failed!
What can I do?
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:33 pm
try this
1. Open up Installer. Hold down your HOME BUTTON for 7 seconds until Installer quits.
2. Re-open Installer and try to install your package again.
3. IF you still encounter the error, hold down the HOME BUTTON for 7seconds again until Installer quits.
4. Restart iPhone this time, & try again.
April 5th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
I jailbroke my phone yesterday and have had no problems except when I make or recieve a phone call i cannot hear the other person on the line but they can hear me…anyone know how to fix it?
April 5th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
@steven
Strange error! Can you please state whats the firmware version and the software you used to unlock it.
April 5th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
thanks i dont know the answer to that but i can say “i did it all” the same way you did in the you tube video above. minus unchecking the first three advanced options and deleting the 3.9 broadband. but since then i’ve redone it a couple of times and i can now hear the other person just fine and they can hear me but the volumn isnt very loud i cant put the speaker phone on, my alarm doesnt work, (it vibrates) my ringer also only vibrates when the phone is on vibrate or ring, my speakerphone doesnt work.
thanks in advance
April 5th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
correction on that last line my voicemail doesnt work.
April 5th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
ok last thing itunes will not let me restore the iphone. after clicking restore a window pops up and say’s itunes is shuting down and microsoft will notify me if it finds a solution to the problem.
April 6th, 2008 at 2:38 am
@steven
If you cant run the voicemail try this
1. You need to first get your carrier’s voicemail number.
2. Click on your iPhone’s phone button.
3. Then click on the Keypad tab.
4. You need to then add the following code: *5005*86*xxx#. Here xxx would be your voicemail number.
5. After entering the code you tap call.
6. This results in the code being set.
7. Thats all, tap now on the voicemail button and it should automatically call your usual voicemail service.
April 6th, 2008 at 2:56 am
@steven
For the sound problem! There should be a application named AudioAmp should be available as a package in Installer.app (should be inside the Tweaks Folder)
April 6th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Ok once again thank you! I’ve just about fixed everything. But………I cant download most of the packages? I get an error window stating “This version of Customize (or whatever else i try to get) requires Firmware 1.1.[123]?? Help me please!!
April 6th, 2008 at 11:27 am
@steven
You need to update the sources! try clicking on the refresh sources button.
Have you downloaded the BSB subsystem and the Openssh, they are the utmost requirements.
April 8th, 2008 at 2:41 am

April 27th, 2008 at 3:26 am

Now the weird part. if i drive into a different area wifi is gone and so is the E. Basically the connection is intermittent unless i stay one spot. Im pretty sure i jailbroke it right throungh iliberty. So confused:\
April 27th, 2008 at 11:48 am
@rurue241
did you use the No wifi, edge hack! that surely helps. I’m pretty sure you didn’t used that hack.
April 27th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I Have never heard of that hack. How and where do i get it done.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:17 am

i just downloaded ziphone 3.0 will that still work o unlock jailbreak and activate and iphone out of the box 1.1.4
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:46 am
@ryan
You should have done the hacking with the iLiberty tool, the ziphone has this basic problem, i just cant figure out how to fix that.
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:47 am
@max
Use the iLiberty tool instead the ziphone craps out most of the time!
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:56 pm
If i still use ziphone to unlock out of the box 1.1.4 do i put my sim card in before i plug it into my computer and unlock it
May 4th, 2008 at 5:58 am
How do i use the no wifi edge hack???
