Chinatown?Venusian among:…

thanks!

I guess I have the crap version when I did the ziphone thingy last night. My iphone didnt get out of the apple logo. I had to deal with the geniuses today to get back to life. LOL.

Anywayz, will try again.

Recovery mode –
Turn your phone off with the slider.

Once the phone is off – leave it plugged in and press and hold the home button until you see the recovery icons.

If that doesn’t work for you … google iPhone Recovery Mode. There’s a couple sites with the steps listed out some have images. It’s a simple process, but a little weird to do the first couple times when you’re not used to doing it.

I’ve not used the latest version. I’ll give it a go tomorrow maybe and see what its like. The version I used was command line – this new one is GUI based. From what I’ve read – UNLOCK is BL 4.6 only. JAILBREAK is any BL.

PS – There is a new Version of ZiPhone (Version 2.x) released just a short while ago… For thos of you having issues you might want to try this newer version.

You are a great assett to the iPhone community!
Keep up the great work!

Looks like its a bug with the new version 1.1 of ZiPhone that has you stuck at the Apple logo. I did this on an older version the other day… Apple iPhone School website has a link to an older version that should work, otherwise check the iPhone elite forums for an older version or possibly wait a while for a fix from them.

And then it said wait 45 … at which point it did some stuff then the phone should have shut off and now you’re at the Apple logo?

Any ideas?

Plugin your iPhone and sync. Once that’s done open a command window and change directory into the one where you put ZiPhone (on my PC I put it in the C drive). Don’t unplug anything… there’s no need.

cd C:\ZiPhone

Then Type:
ziphone -j

It will tell you to put your iPhone into recovery mode – any reference to plugging/unplugging can be ignored – I think they’re just built into the application as a default.

Once you put the iPhone into recovery mode – ZiPhone handles everything. Once it reboots it should be jailbroken – you’ll know if you see the installer on your springboard.

So what you did was plug you iPhone into iTunes and do the sync/backup thing, then after that you oped up the run thing in your start menu and type in cmd, then the black screen opens up and you type in..

cd C:\ZiPhone
then you type…
C:\ZiPhone>ziphone -j

Then I’ll see..

Working…
Please wait 45″.
Done!

Searching for iPhone…
Please power off the iPhone, then hold the home button
and connect to dock to enter recovery mode.

Why is it telling me to plug the iPhone back in if it is already plugged in? I’m guessing you just press and hld the home button while your iPhone is still plugged in. Right?

My iPhone should be jailbroken by then right?

Please help me on this one. Thanks!

And yes – I started this process running 1.1.3.

As for what it installed – the only thing I saw was installer. I’m (not yet anyway) aware of any other things being added.

1) Did this jailbreak do anything to your iphone other than make the installer?
2) in bold, you wrote “Please power off the iPhone, then hold the home button
and connect to dock to enter recovery mode.”.. and my question is at what point before that did you unplug it to need to plug it back in? All I read was you plugged it in and there was no step to unplug it. Was it suppose to be plugged the whole time?

please answer because I’m so anxious to do this myself.

Thanks!

I’m so tempted right now to find a used iPhone to jailbreak and experiment with. If the SDK doesn’t bring anything interesting, I might just do this…

So I get to the point where it says “searching for iPhone,” and every time I get a Vista error message saying ZiPhone v1.0 has stopped working” and it closes out. Any idea how to fix this?
