Bluetooth Simple fix for iPhone 1.1.4

March 28, 2008

While iPhone update 1.1.4 repaired a few critical Bluetooth issues brought out on the firmware version 1.1.3 — including inconsistency on couple GPS units from Garmin (StreetPilot C550, Nuvi 360, 760, etc.) — it also introduced the inability to use Bluetooth completely for a lot of users. Luckily, all the users we have talked with, who came across these same problems had succeed with this simple fix: Toggling Airplane Mode off and on. To do this, release the Bluetooth off, and then navigate to Settings, and so slide Airplane Mode to On, hold a couple of secs, and then slide it back to Off. It appears that stopping and resuming the EDGE and WiFi components in the iPhone can repair the Bluetooth connectivity.

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

Numerous users are saying that iPhone software/firmware 1.1.4 does indeed provide a healthy and better boost in mobile signal strength, which was a real problem for some users under the iPhone 1.1.3 software/firmware revision (prompting a series of boosting methods). 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.
