Easy 1.1.4 jailbreaking with iNdependence, Ziphone, and... iTunes?

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Feb 29th 2008 at 1:54PM

If you happen to own an iPhone, and you happen to have updated to the 1.1.4 firmware, you can now easily jailbreak, activate, and unlock your phone with a couple of simple solutions. As you may have heard, iNdependence 1.4 beta 5 is out, which will do all sorts of non-Apple approved things to your device from OS X, though if you're looking for the ultimate cross-platform solution, you probably can't do better than the latest version Zibri's all-in-one package, Ziphone 2.5. Both apps make it about a million times easier than this was a few weeks ago, though we've seen video of a new solution -- jailbreaking directly from iTunes -- that could make this process even simpler (though considerably more illegal). Check that out after the break and get a glimpse of your deviant future.

I just unlocked and jailbreaked using ziphone 2.5 and it was super easy and seems to have worked. I actually muffed up my phone over the past few days trying to go from 1.1.1 (unlocked via iPSF) to 1.1.3, and couldn't get the thing re-unlocked via independence, ziphone 2.4, or iBrickr. Best I could do was 1.1.3 jailbroken and activated, but not unlocked.

iTunes restore to 1.1.4 + ziphone 2.5 got me to an unlocked phone working on tMobile with installer back in action. Now I just gotta re-enable T-Zones access and wait for summerboard 1.1.4.

Thanks much to all the smarter than me people who make this all so easy.

Just wondering how you re-enabled your T-Zone access?

I did the ziphone 2.5 a few days ago and wondered how I could access the full internet via T-zones.

Thanks

Greg
