New Tool to Jailbreak/Unlock iPhone 1.1.4 Released

March 3, 2008

With this new released easy to use tool to jailbreak & unlock called “ZiPhone 2.5″, you can now unlock iPhones through a graphical interface under both Mac OS X and Windows, which was released in an iPhone 1.1.4-compatible edition. This means that any iPhones with any firmware version — including those that shipped with firmware 1.1.4 out-of-the-box (OTB) can be jailbroken and unlocked in one-step. Users who have older firmware versions and wish to use the utility have to  perform a “restore and update” process in iTunes to bring their iPhones to version 1.1.4, then use one of the ZiPhone routines, including:

  • Just jailbreak, don’t touch activation tokens or unlock. You still still need to connect the phone to iTunes to activate (for iPhones used with AT&T or another authorized network)
  • Jailbreak, activate, and unlock any version
  • Jailbreak and activate, but don’t unlock

This enhancement stands in addition to a series of other undocumented fixes in iPhone 1.1.4.

Apple updated the iPhone modem firmware with release 1.1.4, bringing it from version 4.03.13_G to version 4.0.4.05_G. The refined firmware is likely the cause of boosted signal strength.
