ZiPhone !


Redownload file. NEW OPTION to ierase 3.9 bl basebands!
(This time i removed osx version because it still doesn't work)
Well.. I think that's enough testing... here you have ZiPhone !
It's by far the most simple program to setup your iPhone.
Just run it and you will see it.
Windows + OSX versions !
The source IS available at
and
The latest version of ZiPhone is always available at:

Details on how it works and WHY it works, will be released on the above site or wiki.
No 'dev-team' was directly involved with this work.
This program is based on the work of everyone who
believed in free software. (Thanks for the toolchain!)
Thanks to geohot for his latest work.
Thanks to Tissy for moral support.
Thanks to iphone-elite.org for support.
Thanks to Viper and Tifel and ortner for being so nice always.
Thanks to iRev for the picture above and to Mel Brooks for
producing and directing such a funny movie.
And thanks to iphoneelite.com for giving me so many laughs too :)
Namaste,
Zibri.
P.S.
As a side-effect, using this tool will revive many 'dead' basebands.
Just use the unlock option.
FOR PEOPLE with NO IMEI, NO WIFI, NO BASEBAND (4.6BL):
boot the phone in recovery mode.
then run: ziphone -u

AWESOME !

Luiz said...

Zibri, congrats..

could you give more details ?? is baseband exploit 4.6?!?!

tkz d00d!

Luiz said...

sorry.. bootloader not baseband hehe..

Lattugafresca said...

complimenti zibri!! scusa ma devo dirtelo in italiano ;).
Greetings!!

Bj said...

Activate & Jailbreak is only for 1.1.1?

I will test it later.

Thank you.

David Brown said...

Tried on windows ziphone.exe and nothing happened. iPhone 1.1.3OTB 16GB with Gunshot BB 4.02.

Alessandro said...

@zibri

Hi Zibri, i'm currently on a 1.1.3 (dev-softupgrade), BL 4.6 running the gunlock (so i'm unlocked).
Is there a way i can just upgrade the baseband and unlock it with your tool without restoring everying and losing all my settings and apps?

Sballetto

P.s. your tool crashs under windows vista.

Saluti dalla toscana.

Zibri said...

The phone must be booted normally, PAIRED with iTUNES then powered down with the normal slide to power-off.

If you do this everything will work fine.

Morphey said...

Someday will come and i'l make you 32 twins! I just love you man!!!

Z36CBR said...

GO ZIBRI GO!
Instructions for the REAL 1.1.3 jailbreak SOONER PLEASE! :)

Frederique said...

Quick question: what baseband is supported for the unlock? Does it already unlock the one that comes with 1.1.3, or is that one still under development for bootloader 4.6?

btw: another fine job done ;)

Tiven said...

Luiz , Unlock and IMEI Change are only for BL 4.6

all the other features are for any bootloader version.

leslie said...

Hi Zibri,

Just wonder will it work for 1.1.3 OTB ?

Thanks

P.S : You rock !

Viktor said...

Can I do this on a 1.1.3 OTB without downgrading?

Regards Andbert

PS. THANKS

Zibri said...

Hey .. i don't know who asked.. but this is the REAL jailbreak.

ziphone -j (real jailbreak)
ziphone -j -a (jb + activate)

Lattugafresca said...

zibri we can use yhe new 113 baseband with 4.6 now? Or we must waiting?

cyclonefr said...

zibri u have to power down the phone in order to run the file?
will it give me back nikita if i upgrade my 1.12 bb running 1.13 natetrue to 1.13 Apple then apply ur patch?

Ante said...

Why not unlock for BL 3.9? Will that be included in a later release?
Thanks!

Z36CBR said...

@zibri:

i know how to run it...
i actually asked about this:
i'm on jailbroken 1.1.2 OTB with nextsim.
how should i go to 1.1.3?
thru iTunes? update? restore? what?
:)

Chris said...

i couldn't get it to work...i have an iphone 1.1.2 otb, that i have just upgraded via itunes to 1.1.3 and nothing happend...it just says process completed, but nothing really... any advice (i'm using the mac vesion)

Yogerson said...

Hi, I'm just wondering where can I DL the app. I just get an error message in the FileFront site.

Regards,

Nikitaev said...

if i update 1.1.2 otb to 1.1.3 with itunes, will this tool work?

P.S. this is fucking awesome, mate !!

Holger said...

@david brown: This is not a GUI programm which you can just doubbleclick. You need to call it with command line

giuseppe said...

Zibri perchè non aggiungi il downgrade e magari l'unlock anche per gli 1.1.
Ciao grande!

Holger said...

@david brown: This is not a GUI programm which you can just doubbleclick. You need to call it with command line

Tony said...

Be careful - modifying an IMEI carries a jail sentence in many countries. So even if the option is there don't even think about it.

Jimbo said...

Zibri,

Very nice tool indeed...Works like a charm!!! Just out of curiosity what type of unlock are you using ? Based on your previous post, I am assuming it works on BB 4.03

nicco1610 said...

GRANDE ZIBRI!!!
CHE DIRE...L'APPLICAZIONE PERFETTA!!!
OTTIMO LAVORO!!!

CONTINUA COSì E GRAZIE DA FIRENZE!!!

Nicco1610

P.S.Se hai bisogno di supporto contattami pure.

huhu said...

Thanks!
Simple and Great, thats how software should be!

Cristiano said...

Ciao Zibri,
vorrei, se possibile, un chiarimento: se avessi tra le mani un nuovo iPhone con 1.1.3 preinstallato, potrei utilizzarlo in Italia tramite il solo sblocco software di ZiPhone?

Complimenti ;-)

Arjun said...

yup really cool due...thanks a lot and Namaste to you too..

Zibri said...

@jimbo
i am using geohot gunlock slightly modified for the imei change option.

@giuseppe & @ante
for 1.1 you can use ziphone -j -a
then unlock with anysim.

@tony
it depends on countries..
my program is not illegal per-se
but it's use could lead YOU to be jailed.

Zibri said...

IMPORTANT

To REPAIR a *DEAD* baseband, do THIS:

Put the iphone in recovery mode (NOT DFU..normal recovery mode)

Then run: ziphone -u

And you will have back IMEI and WIFI.

This procedure already worked on 3 phones.

cyclonefr said...

@Zibri:will it install SSH or INSTALLER after done?
does it keep BB 1.13? cause i plann to update my 1.13NATETRUE to real 1.13 update then run Anysim1.3 on it. thanx

David Brown said...

Yes this works 30 Seconds to Jailbreak and 2 minutes to Unlock
OTB 1.1.3 16GB done

The Phone is now 1.1.3 but the BB is at 4.02.

I think Zibri is working on this with Geohot for 4.03. Zibri hint form you when we could see this for 4.03

Zibri said...

Yes. It installs installer :)

This is a real jailbreak.. not a shitty software upgrade.

David Brown said...

Zibri, Changing the IEMI is illegal in US better to remove this as Apple lawyers will get behind you, and this will pull down all your hardwork you have done for all of us.
Once again Namaste Zibri

haze_deep said...

can geohot's ipsf unlock (for 3.9) be run after this or should it be run on a prior firmware?

Atze said...

im getting "Segmentation fault" on a mac. on windows it seems to work, but after the process it is not activated!

o ɔ ɹ ɐ ɯ said...

First i want to say....Thank you Zibri, really...thank you.

Second i ask a question that involves all 1.1.2 owners:
Can we update to 1.1.3 through iTunes and then use ZiPhone to jailbreak, activate and unlock our devices?

Zibri said...

@marco

Yes.. ziphone works also on ootb 113 (or restored).

@david brown:
I added it as a test option.
i am not in the US.
If it's illegal in your country then don't use -i option.

Orschinger said...

i've got an unlocked 1.1.1 ootb, 3.9

what would be the way for me to get an activated, unlocked and jailbreaked iphone with 1.1.3 and newest baseband?

cyclonefr said...

@zibri please
i had to restore cause update crashed on my 1.12 hacked softupdated anyway
now i run ur hack from terminal and i get
"Loading zibri.dat.
zibri.dat could not be opened for reading.
"

SOLUTION?

Zibri said...

@cyclone

lol.. never happened!

chmod 777 zibri.dat ?

chmod 777 * ?

check file permissions

huhu said...

Thank you Zibri
Simple and great, that's how software always should be!!

greetings

iMaajka said...

Hello,

i have a problem, WinXP, iTunes 7.4.3, two iPhone's with dead baseband, one phone is restored (with error) to 1.1.3 (baseband still dead), and every time I run "ziphone -u" the program crashes when the iPhone is in recovery mode...if the phone is in "cable+itunes" mode, then the program says, please wait 2'30" and it passes to 30 min, and nothing happens...

help...tnx

David Brown said...

If anyone can come up with a GUI based ziphone and titled "Jailbreak for Dummies" will be a big laugh to Apple tactics.

Zibri please come up with a Paypal Donate Button. We need to reward your work as I did to GeoHot yesterday.

George said...

Mamma mia zibri!!!

Alexander said...

OS X version gave me Bus Error on Leopard, so I tried it on Windows and the jailbreak + activation works! Now I have a real unlocked 1.1.3 iPhone.

Thanks!

cyclonefr said...

in fact i had to enter into the directory :)
but now im in DFU mode and i get BUS error :s after working...

Matteo said...

scusa zibri ma sono di coccio ... io ho un 1.1.2 attivato e jailbreakato ... adesso se voglio aggiornare via itunes a 1.1.3 .... posso aggiornare direttamente e poi lanciare il comando ziphone.exe -a -j -u ... giusto? oppure?

p.s.
grazie!!! sei mitico!!!

keet said...

zibri, looks great but i'm just a novice. what do i exactly need to do. i have windows and a new 1.1.2 right out of the box. i need step by step instructions. please.

Nikitaev said...

the same problem with
zibri.dat could not be opened for reading

btw, on windows it works perfectly

skoto said...

Hi Zibri!
I have 1.1.3, 3.9 with unlocked 04.03.13 modem. I restore it to JB and Activate with Ur tool, coz youTube not works after Dev-Team 1.1.3 update from Installer.
I make "ziphone.exe -j -a" and phone works fine, but one thing... Installer not works :(
In gives "Main script execution failed" on every operation.
Any ideas?

cyclonefr said...

ok Zibri done as the guy just said under VISTA
u rock man`hope this crack will work forever

conclusion u guys r doing great job when u work together

Fabio said...

Zibri,

Does this tool jailbreak a IPod Touch with 1.1.3???

Thx,

keet said...

how do i do this please i have windows what do i do?

Michele said...

Scusa Zibri ma l'anySIM da te rilasciato è una versione beta... Dobbiamo aspettarci una versione finale o no? Thanks

Bart said...

b4rtc4shReally amazing.. works like a charm. good work.
It just needs to have the unlock for 3.9 and will be great :D

Chris said...

what's the point of ziphone, if by unlocking the 04.03 modem firmware, you end up having the 04.02 firmware... how is this any better the previous methods of soft upgrading ... really i see no point in having this... congrats on your great work though

Mahendiran said...

@Zibri,

Please help,i am getting No Service after doing the unlock on a 1.1.2 OTB restored to 1.1.3...

the Sim Applications detect my carrier's apps correctly though, but only not picking the signal.. pls advice..

Tony said...

@fabio

I don't think so.. it doesn't like the touch at all. If in DFU mode it just segfaults when tying to run jailbreak, and in restore mode it hangs on 'Working...'

Zero said...

@Chris
It only downgrades baseband if you unlock a 4.6BL phone, it cant unlock 3.9 ones, and its better cause you can restore to 1.1.3/have a 1.1.3 phone and use this directly.

Илья said...

SUPERIOR!!!!!
Thank you very much! Just restored my 1.1.2OTB to 1.1.3 and activated it!
It works like a charm! THANKS!

Juan Carlos said...

Hi. I have a dead baseband phone (1.1.2 OTB). It was my fault because i ran geohot gunlock and forgot to put the phone in airplane mode before doing it.

When I run zibri's tool i got this:

ziphone -u

ZiPhone v1.0 by Zibri. http://zibree.blogspot.com
Source code available at: http://www.iphone-elite.org

Loading zibri.dat.
Architecture: apple/i386
Searching for iPhone...
Working...
Segmentation fault

The phone is in recovery mode like zibri said and nothing happens after this... What can I do?

One thing i noticed when i connect to the phone with iPHUC is that there are no directories but only Itunes_Control... what happened with all the other directories?

Sorry for mi English...

Thanks...

I usually don't accept money donations.. only hardware donations..
But if you really feel to donate, you can do it by donating to this address: zibree@gmail.com

Korbinian said...

Hey Zibri,
you guys are doing an AWESOME job!!! I pretend Movie Rentals transfer to jailbroken iPhone 1.1.3 does unfortunately not work with your jb method either, right? Do you have an idea to fix this?

Zibri said...

@juan carlos

There are some problems with osx version..
I don't have osx.. someone is re-compiling it and test it.

Chris said...

@zero all i'm saying is that it would have been better if we could have a fully functional 1.1.3, but we don't because of the modem firmware, this being the case there's no point in upgrading just so we have a crippled 1.1.3 (again)

Zibri said...

@chris

if you don't get the point, then don't use it.
It has many points :)

cyclonefr said...

u just rock Zibri as i said above ! 100% working running 1.11 original BL 3.9 upped to 1.13 then ran Anysim 1.3

Hope with GeoHotz u r now friends

Viveck said...

****forgot to mention BL - it's 4.6

Hi Zibri!

good job mate!

need simple clarification

1.1.2 + turbo sim in hand

what if I restore 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 (through itunes restore)

run ziphone -a -j

will I have 4.03.13 BB and be able to use turbo sim or do I need to unlock it (i.e. ziphone -a -u -j) and stay with 4.02 till we find the answer?

thank you for your time and effort, much appreciated.

cheers
vB

Pablo said...

Hi Zibri,

I was trying to use your software and I put my iPhone in DFU mode then when your software detect it said wait 2'30" but after that time nothing happen and my phone stack with the apple on the screen and is not detected on the USB port

Juan Carlos said...

Thanks a lot Zibri... Now I tried on windows and it worked fine!

keep doing this the great work...

Chris said...

@zibri don't get me wrong this is awesome and i know it has lots of points, but i was just saying that people the have 4.6 are stuck with a crippled 1.1.3, that's all; and as soon as this will run on os x i will use it, but right now i cannot since it doesn't work on osx
btw, the changing imei thing has some special purpose ? i mean the way i hope it does, "tricking" itunes?

bco said...

Hi zibri,

Can i use it directly with a Nate-true softupdated 113 iphone ?

Greetings from France

Capitan Corneta said...

Not trying to be rude as this comes as great news for all of us. But the given file repository is awfully slow, has anyone managed to put a mirror of the file?

Ben said...

it dont activate or jailbreakes an original 1.1.3 or 1.1.2 ootb iphone with current 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 on it.

u have to downgrade to 1.1.1

so it doesnt help me so much. it takes as long as appsnap and 307 thing...

Ben said...

when i update my 1.1.2 ootb via itunes to 1.1.3, ziphone wont work!

there will be always the activation screen.

Zero said...

I read in hackintosh that people are saying that the installer that comes with this had some apps installed before putting it in the package (aka it was not a fresh installer) and that prevents them from being installed if you dont modify a .plist file.

is it so ? im planning on restoring to 1.1.3 on my 3.9BL phone today and using this soft (that i donwloaded from rapidshare, since filefront refuces to work from me, but i didnt keep the link).

david said...

Zibri one word I LOVE YOU :O you are the best you kept saying it wil be done and you did it :)

Capitan Corneta said...

you are the fucking man zibri. props to you. fuck the lazy dev team!

Zero said...

QUOTE from the other forum:
The thing is installer is not well installed under ZiPhone`s jailbreak.

Specifically there are installed packaged by default wich are not installed.

-SummerBoard
-Erica Utils
-UIctl
-Sysinfo

Apparently these were the apps installed in zibree`s iphone when he was developing ZiPhone
----------------------------
thats what i read there.

Z36CBR said...

here is what happened to me:
- jailbroken 1.1.2 OTB restored to 1.1.3 via iTunes
- ziphone -a -j

result - jailbroken 1.1.3, but:
- NextSIM NOT working (just to let you know)
- Installer.app problem as explained by zero

so, i'm going down to 1.1.2!
turns out that this too is still not TRUE jailbreak! :(

BJ said...

quick fix for the crashing installer problem:

cd /private/var/mobile/Library/Installer/
mv LocalPackages.plist LocalPackages.plist.old

haze_deep said...

awesome work Zibri you just made my life wonderful.

i'm guessing this was possible because of that secret key? :-P

Browni3 said...

Zib mate everything has worked well - Nice Work .....the phone is unlocked and active but i cant change my imei. i try and use the command ziphone -i but it just shows the list again. Please help as i need to do this to use :S

articsun said...

zibri, did you update your package, coz i can find there is a different timestamp when i downloaded the second time ?
http://img142.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=57985_ziphone_122_732lo.jpg

Zibri said...

Well guys.. RE-DOWNLOAD the package..

I just forgot a plist in installer...

(you can redownload and rerun OR you can just delete ~/Library/Installer/LocalPackages.plist)

Jay said...

Didnt work for me.. Restored to 1.1.3, ran ziphone -j, found the found, told me to wait, phone rebooted, ziphone said DONE! and no installer on springboard.

Browni3 said...

What about how to change the imei zibri ? when i enter the command in cmd prompt it just list the options again :S Do i need to use the gunshot thing ?

BJ said...

ok, the redownloaded file seems to fix the installer, now I get another issue:
when I install summerboard and reboot I lose the sound (all sound is gone, even calls)
I didn't have this issue with the previous jailbreak ...
any ideas ?

loveiphone said...

seem to have no EDGE setting in GENERAL/NETWORK

ajl917 said...

Hey, just wanted to check, would this mean that I could just upgrade to 1.1.3, use your jailbreak and then have a completely working 1.1.3 iPhone? Even GoogleMaps?!?!?

n0witzness said...

thank you zibri! :)

Christopher said...

really great work!
respect!

do you plan to release a version for the BL 3.9 (OTB 1.1.1), too?

Would be nice :)

loveiphone said...

"main script execution failed";
"downloading package failed"

these errors take place in different apps in installer

was checking on: restored 1.1.1 BL3.9 upped 1.1.3 in itunes

Aleš said...

ok, I have a problem... Jailbrake and activation is ok but unlock doesnt. it is 1.1.2 otb. It said that is incorrect SIM?!?

Please help me :(

keets28 said...

installer still not working properly, i can install programs but they won't open. still seems to be a problem with installer.

FlYaSS said...

For me everything works great.
I had a 1.1.2 OTB i updated it to 1.1.3 and now i have 1.1.3 witg BB 4.2.13 and everything works great.
No problems during the process.

Thanks to Zibri and Geohat ;)
P.S. now i am waiting for stable BB4.3.13 hack, because i had a much complications when i was trying to unlock it using leaked stuff.

keets28 said...

@FLYASS YOUR INSTALLER WORKS RIGHT? YOU CAN OPEN YOUR PROGRAMS?

Albert E said...

Zibri,

You Sir are a legend !

We needed a FULL 1.1.3 Jailbreak & now we have one

Good Work, Keep it up

My only question is

WHAT NEXT ?

This is a great day for all iPhone users / owners.......

Zibri said...

@jay

-j is for testing if used alone.
you have to use -a -j

@browni3

it's because you enter the imei incorrectly.
imei is 16 bytes long even if only 15 are displayed.
use 0+15 byte imei you want.

@bj
no idea.. it's not because of ziphone.
try to restore and repeat from scratch.

@loveiphone
nope.. i don't have them too..
they changed a plist in 113 and 112

@christopher
yes. it's planned.
i'm working on it now.

@everyone having problems with installer

You have to install BSD Subsystem FIRST !

Pedro said...

Hu Zibri, I am trying to unlock an iphoen using your tool but it doesn't get pass where it says "working" I wated like 15 min till the iphone turned off itself and now got the Wait 2:30min.

I am doing this procedure from a windows machine and my iphone is in restore mode.

Warmest Regards!

Pedro

keets28 said...

zibir. i just tried to install bsd subsystem, i get error download packaged failed. any ideas?

Ciccio said...

GODO!
I'm elated. Z said "it can be done" and it's been indeed done.

iphone 1.1.2 otb -> upgraded through itunes to 1.1.3 -> jailbroken, activated & unlocked with ziphone

You are pure genius. Thanks
Sei l'Eletto!
