Enjoy the official windows GUI !
Frederick from iunlock.no joined me to offer you
an even better ZiPhone !
I also modified the download page.
Thanks to KoSoVar for hosting
Support him too !

Check the archive for a RUSSIAN manual and a few infos :)














































Thanks for the ZiPhone Zibri. I've been successful in using it.
I have a question though. After unlocking, I am able to restore the iPhone using iTunes and it would still remain unlock. My question is, how do I re-lock the iPhone if I one day decide to use AT&T.
On a separate note, I would like to know if this version of ZiPhone works with iTunes 7.6.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks to Zibri and all for this wonderful tool.....
Spaceman, to fully restore the iphone. Turn it off, and hold down the home button when you plug it in and the Connect to itunes will pop, and itunes will detect the phone in recovery mode. Just click continue and your phone will be restore in no time.
:PP
@Spaceman
just du a restore in itunes.
@zibri
how do i get your nice bookmark sign on my iphone?
i used ziphone without the link to your blog...
regards
achilles:
if you already unlocked, deleted the icon and you want it back, just run
ziphone -t
[from command line]
Zibri - great work, friend.
Thanks guys.
Hello Zibri,
I purchased iphone 1.1.3 with BL4.6 one week back..
how can i unlock it from this method?
i mean, what to select, Unlock, Jailbreak, Activate only??
I am from India...
Thanks in advance
Hi Zibri!
You're my real god [hope, you're not religious... :-)].
Thank you for a wonderful iPhone tool and the funny troubleshooting.txt "OMG, I broke my phone...".
Greetings from Germany!
Simple question, hope you answer zibri: why does it say 2'30'' in CMD and 4'00'' in GUI?
Hi, please could we get the English README file back. I can't read Russian... ;))
Hi, Zibri! Thanks for the fantastic tool. I've successfully used it on two iPhones but one is giving me some problems: I can't install ANYTHING via Installer. I always get "Error: Package download failed!"
Any ideas?
Thanks.
zibri,
I can translate it into Spanish...
let me know how can I help?
Saludos

Zibri,
I guess someone read my comments on how i.unlock.no had the best GUI ah? Frederick's gui is kick butt.
Way to go!! you both are great!!

Is there any chance of this being made to work on the iPod Touch 16gb?
Hello from Greece. I used GiPhoneGUI3 to unlock, jailbreak and activate a new iphone (1.1.2 4.6) and everything seems to be fine. Everything is OK with network signal, but the phone doesn't get income calls and the keypad crashes when i'm trying to make a call. I tried to install some stuff (for example BSD Subsystem or iWorld) from Installer but in any case the installing was unsuccessful. Can you give me some help?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks you Zibri,
I have OOTB iphone and i just want to confirm that with the GUI all i need to do is connect the phone to the PC run the GUI and select DO it all and thats it or are there any other steps I should know about, Sorry but I got the phone after ages of waiting and I don't want to screw up
Thanks. Love the Ziphone.
Only problem is I have many app that now will not launch. Have tried the command line fix, but no success. I REALY need my SMSD most of all. Any ideas?
Great Work Zibri :)
but i Hope the GUI can change the IMEI too to be a full GUI using full features :)
just downloaded again, GUI working perfectly now. Congratulations, a really well done and easy to use GUI at this time...
And ZiPhone is as great as always. Thanks!
Hi Zabri!
First of all thanxs for all the good work and time, you put in making something easy for most of us tourist.
Just one question: Are the tutorial acurate for Jailbreaking an Ipod Touch 1.1.3?
Thanx again and namaste from Argentina
Will this work on new 16 GB Iphone purchased today. Kindly answer
Hi Zibri:
I have an Ipod touch 8gb 1.1.3. I I bought it 3 weeks ago, and I have a problem, I tried to use your ziphone but always happens same thing: ipod screen frezzes in "Spamming AT, waiting for response" Please tell me what Im doing wrong.... Count with a juicy donation to your cause if you can help me to jailbreak my ipod...
thanks!!
Cesar Martinez
someone help me, i have no idea what im doing. im awesome with computers but there are no instructions. i cant just guess what to do. I downloaded and unzipped ZiPhone 2.4. What do i do with the files? what are the steps? email me @ shortys_house@hotmail.com please!
Purchased my Iphone from a friend; it was activated prior and running 1.1.3.
With all other methods you must downgrade to 1.1.1. Preceded with Ziphone under OS X 10.5.2 it took less than three minutes. Will donate on payday. Excellent Program!!!
HI i want to know how do i delete the almos 200MB that have the iphone after using ziphone!
Thanks
@zonker: try installing "Community Sources" (from "Sources") first. That fixed a similar problem for me recently.

Hi Zibri,
Just want to clarify that a paid 1.0.2 Iphone simfree can be updated/unlocked/activated up to 1.1.3 with ziphone 2.4. I remember seeing in earlier editions ziphone not working with IPSF - but haven't seen anything since..?
Hope you can put my mind at ease - and thanks in advance :)
Zibri, you rock! Just upgraded to 1.1.3 - painless
Thank you
GRacias Zibri desde Mexico, simplemente eres un Genio!!!! just excellent!!!! SAludos desde Sonora!!!!
Hey Zibri, we at ModMyiFone have put together a great OS X GUI as well, let me know if you'd like us to help out as the official OS X GUI.
Zibri: Thanks. What you're doing for the community is amazingly helpful, especially for those of us who were not computer savvy enough to do all this stuff sans a GUI.
But, I still have a question, for anyone who might know: is there any way to fix Yahoo! Mail using ZiPhone to jailbreak a phone? YouTube, GoogleMaps, etc, all work fine...but not Yahoo! Mail. Help?
my sms loads very now after I unlocked it, any hints how I can fix that
tx
It worked for me but the only thing is i got error 1 in ziphone. Anyone know what error 1 means?
@zibri:
please, take a look at your source-code. Can you confirm what´s on this thread?

Hello everyone, a week ago i bought an OTB 1.1.3 iphone with firmwire 04.02.13 from the apple store, a frinend of mine jailbroke and unlocked it for me, but when i put the phone into sleeping mode the phone wouldn't respond to incoming calls, and after i unlock the screen it shows me the missed calls. Today i restored with iTunes then i used ZiPhoneWin2.4 to jaibreak, activate and unlock it but i had the same problem. Then i downgraded the bootloader with the "downgrade bootloader" option, since this seems to be the fix for this problem for other ppl, but im experinecing the problem....Any ideas how to fix this ? Thanks in advance
almost forgot to check your answer.
i tried but I become as an answer: couldn't read zibri.dat
???
@zonker
i have the same problem,
did you fix it???
For those who can instaLL apps. At Iclarified tutorials iphone section you can get an app to free disk space. Uninstall some apps, install this (bosstool) from the installer and it's done:
Here's the link:

@ Zibri
Although I have not used this new version, I like to give my thanks again for your effort.
@ Zonker,
for your package installation problem, just you need to update Installer Source ( and install Community Source or any other update).

Hossein

The Force is strong with you, Zibri!
HAL9000
Zibri, let me tell that a "2001 A Space Odissey" poster would be more appropriate! In fact, I'm feeling like poor astronauts on Discoery 1 in the Kubrick's masterpiece.
And your piece of software is my HAL9000 !
I want to tell immediately that everything works fine, your software is solid and easy, but... a little self-working!
This is what happened to me: this morning I was playing with the command-line windows 2.4 version of your software, just typing commands and seeing what would have happened. My iPhone was disconnected since I wanted only to check how the commandlline version worked, so the software hung waiting for phone, and i closed the commandline window. I didn't mean to upgrade (or should I say downgrade, since I'm running a jailbroken, activated, unlocked by ziphonegui2.1, 1.1.3 OOTB phone with 4.6 BL).
Then my laptop has been left on during all day (what a coincidence, I forgot to switch it off when I went home by office, so it was closed but still working!)
Tonight I wanted to use iTunes to synchronize my music library, so I connected the phone and... HAL started going mad:
iphone put in restore mode --> press yes to restore in itunes --> automatic downgrade/jailbreak/activation procedure --> telephone working!
all in 3 minutes (more or less) without any further control possible!
I checked taskmanager, and ziphone applicaiton was actually stil running!
I was quite cool to not panic, since I knew that disconnecting to interrupt operation durind BL downgrading would have bricked it, and my iPhone now is fully working, but...
...man... this was scaring!
is it supposed to automatically run even 10 hours after that the commandline window has been closed? without any further possible check by user? (press yes to restore in iTunes was not exactly explaining what was gonna happen).
Anyway, I was careless but lucky, so now I'm enjoying a full 1.1.3 iPhone with 3.9BL, working as solid as a rock (even contacts, messages and application has been left at right place!). Your software really DOES NO HARM!
Greetings from Discovery 1 ;-)

GREETINGS FROM MEXICO CITY, I HAD AN IPHONE I THOUGH IT WAS ABSOLUTELY UNABLE TO UNLOCK, BUT THANKS TO YOU THAT'S JUST A BAD NIGHTMARE. IN MEXICO TO REFER TO SOMEONE THAT IS "AN ASS-KICKING GUY" (or something like that, sorry my english is very poor), WE REFER TO IT A "ESE WEY ES LA VERGA!" AND YOU ARE IT!!!! THANKS FOREVER!!
Zibri,
I used Ziphone with GUI. After jailbreaking, unlocking and activating I could use the Iphone, but when I tried to use the phone or sms, it didn't work. I can push in one number and then the phone mode or sms mode is shut down automatically.
I got an Iphone 1.1.3 OTB. Bought it two days ago.

Hi folks,
Zibri lots of Thanks to you and GeoHotz.
My questions is how can I install ringtones after unlocking with ziphone.
Let me give you some background, I was one of the first ones to update my iPhone to 1.1.3 with natetrue method. I was able to upload ringtones thru iNdependence or iBrickr without any problem. But recently I restored my iPhone to 1.1.3 from iTunes then unlocked and jailbreaked through ZiPhone. Now, I am unable to upload ringtones thru iNdependence or iBrickr. Could guys kindly help me out???
Thanks!!!!!!
There is a RINGTONE Button below the donate button to the right of this blog.
(and you didn't click any!)
@Βίκυ
@Zonker
i had the same problem, all you have to do is make a clean upgread to 1.1.3 itune with itunes (shift+restore or upgread) click on 1.1.3 (iPhone1,1_1.1.3_4A93_Restore)this you have to download it. after put it on recovery mode, close itunes click ziphone-win-2.4,ZiPhoneGUI3, click do it all!!
and in 3mins you have a 1.1.3 iphone unlocked, evrything works fine,lol. i do it on 2 iphone
i think ziphone2.4 is made for 1.1.3, maybe i'm wrong but on 1.1.2 did not work good i had lot of problems
10x a lot zibri and his mates
Zibri, program great.just to know you for the iphone and great news to develop this. If Ziphone on apple you make money good?
First of all thanks Zibri for creating this awesome tools and for everyone that is part of it also big thanks to you. And to George Hotz that found the software unlock Thank you.
I used ziphone 2.4 on my 1.1.2 OTB updated to 1.1.3 but when I chose #2 which will only activate + Jailbreak + Unlock it also downgrade the bootloader to 3.9. Is there anyway I can upgrade BL to 4.6?
Zibri,
Totally awesome, dude! Worked perfectly on the 1.1.3 OTB. I jailbroke, unlocked and activated. The only thing I need to do now is downgrade the BL to 3.9. My question is: can I do it from this point or do I need to restore first? Will I then need to upgrade the baseband after?
best unlocking program I have used yet and I have used/tested a bunch. Same iPhone since 1.0.1.
Btw zibri u plan on making a ziphone for iPhone SDK or 1.1.4?
Zibri,
thank you
this was very easy.
I did a lot of reading on 1.1.3
almost 2 months of reading forums your blog etc.
well I finally took the plunge n this is what I did
(I originally wrote this for sporty,s question)
You need to tell me more info
Like iTunes version , operating system your using , type of iPod/
iPhone using the gig size like 16g iPodtouch or iPhone then people
could help you better
I used ziphone2.4 return of the GUI
16g iPhone 4.6
Windows vista
iTunes 7.6.0.29
I have unlocked AT&T service
Now what I wanted was just a jail broke iPhone with installer
1. Download ziphone 2.4 the return of the GUI
2. I just double clicked on the zip file that i just downloaded
2a. It asked me if I wanted to run after unzipping I checked yes
3. Then it brings up the GUI
3a. Have iTunes running
4. You have 3 options unlock jailbreak etc.
5. I selected the jailbreak only
5a. Each selection explains what it will do. This is very simple and
easy to follow
6. Jailbreak takes around 35 seconds to just jailbreak
7. Install BSD subsystems
7a. Install open ssh
8. Install boss tools ( to move apps to free up space read the
instructions
9. I installed boss services so I could turn off ssh if needed among
other things.
Hope this helps
Paul
P.S the guy that said to close itunes it specifically says not to
OMG I LOVE YOU.. EVERYTHING WORKED AS U SAID IT WOULD, I HAVE A REAL IPHONE NOW.. I FEEL LIKE CRYING... ALTHOUGH I WAS EXTRA NERVOUS. A+++++++ U WILL BOTH HAVE A DONATION BY NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!

Hey I knew it when those bozos banned you for being too smart. You are truely a hackers hack, King of all Hacks, I 'm not worthy, I'm not worthy.... ( Do you think yongones will get the ref?)
hi, my iphone is registered with att and i unlocked it using your latest gui. i want to use iphone as modem. can you pls. tell/point me to the answer?
Zibri, your tool is beyond cool. Much kudos. Just wanted to ask, I have an iPhone 1.1.3 OTB, latest ZiPhone 2.4 GUI version but I do not want to downgrade by bootloader (I have no need to). Can I still use ziphone.exe -j -a -u arguments in a cmd window without downgrading the bootloader?
Also, does it matter which order the arguments are in? I'm assuming not.
Thanks.
Hi.
I have also the problem after the unlocking that I can't install anything (because some error occur during the downloading) and because of this I can't use the phone in Romania (I understood iWorld has to be installed).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gabi.
my computer does not unzip all the ziphone files, what do Ihave to do to get my computer to unzip all the files??
Hi,
@Zibri
does Ziphone 2.4 GUI Version still downgrade the Bootloader from 4.6 to 3.9 by clicking at "Do it all"???
I don't want to downgrade the Bootloader.
Hi,
@Zibri
does Ziphone 2.4 GUI Version still downgrade the Bootloader from 4.6 to 3.9 by clicking at "Do it all"???
I don't want to downgrade the Bootloader.
@Zibri:
Hope a lot of donations like mine come in ;-)
Great you joining up with "Frederick?"...
Can anyone answer one Q please:
I used the "original" Zibri V 1.0 and -u -j -v my OTB 16GB phone. The present version ZiPhone 2.4 is quite intuitive, but: What should I do to downgrade from 4.6 to 3.9 without losing my apps and all?
At the moment I'm still on 04.02.13, looking forward - for obv. reasons - to 04.03.13
Zibri, you're the best. I purchased an OTB 1.1.2 phone. Restored it to 1.1.3 before use. then used ZiPhone 2.4 (GUI) with the "do it all" option. It worked like a charm from the first time. I thank you very much for this great solution. A donation is in order. cheers
hey guys, i cant seem to download the 2.4 gui for my windows XP... i tried downloading it and saves an icon in my desktop, when i unziip it, it makes a new folder under my program files... then when i go and try to open the gui and run it it says:
"the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). click on OK to terminate the application." ---- WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???
Hi I found the what was the problem I did not have .NET Framework 2.0. SO download install it if you get an error when unzipping the ziphone.
Say you had two sim cards and wanted to ensure you dont loose your contacts. Would it work to jailbreak the phone with one sim, then put the sim back in that has the contacts. Logicly it sounds like it will work. Do you have a better way to ensure you dont loose your contacts. Besides buying a sim backup device.
Wow, this is handsome software, have used it on my 1.1.2 o.o.t.b. after upgrading to 1.1.4. Have donated immediately. Please continue de good work. The only disadvantage is that my custom made ringtones are gone. Since I use a mac, the link on your blog does not work, is there an other way?
Hi people,
Is there a step by step guide in order to unlock my iphone ? or do i just use the software and all the work gets done just like that ?
And most important, is there any chance if the unlocking fails in any way , my iphone would be destroyed?
Thank u in advance
