Step One
Download ZiPhone (Windows and Mac) from: Here

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.

How come my ipod touch says waiting for response and it stays stuck?
ziphone works Great!! It only gives me an error when downloading BSD subsystem. why do I need it? Thanks!!!
my youtube doesnt work man
@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.
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.
@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.
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!
@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
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?
what is BSD Subsystem and OpenSSH? where do i find these 2 program? do i need to download it?
thanx
@Caleb try this link i’m sure this will fix that problem..

@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)
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
@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.
Actually i don’t quite understand the video. i have a fresh iphone 16GB. What should i do?
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
@Amir i think you need to update the sources, try this link and see whats the developer saying.
http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/
but how can i update the sources???
@Dude hello dude, if u have already 1.1.4 firmware then download that ziphone and start the process.
Read the POST
@Juan Carlos Arellano try the Refresh button when you are inside the Installer app, it should be at the top.
Hi,
I can’t slide to the next screen on the home
@Toan how can that happen.
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.
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?
@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.
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.
@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.
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.
@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)
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.
You need to restart you cell after unlocking and jailbreaking! sometimes a kick always needed to get things working! Right
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
@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.
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 :)
Hello abhay ,
i have requested you for chat on Googletalk. I’ll talk with you thr!
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.
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!
@abhay
Just wait for few more days there should be new application named iLiberty that will fix the wifi, edge problem.
@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
@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
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!
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?
@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.
@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.
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
