Step 1:



Uninstall iTunes 7.7 if you have it and restart your computer



Step 2:



Install iTunes 7.5, iLiberty+ & KiPhone. Make sure only iTunes is running.



Step 3:



Your iPhone should be in 2 states, either stuck on the "Slide to make emergency calls" screen, or you tried to restore before and it's stuck on the new look "connect to iTunes" screen. Either way you're ok.



Enter the phone in DFU mode (You must have the iPhone connected to the computer and iTunes running). To do this, hold the power & the home button down for 9 seconds.

Why 9? Well people say 10, but it depends how slow you are at counting. Too short and it doesn't work, too long and the apple logo appears.

When you hit about 6/7 the screen should turn off, leave it for 2 more seconds and release the power button, STILL holding the home button. If all went well, you should NOT see an apple logo, the screen should be dead. Keep holding home until windows/Mac informs you that it's found new hardware, OR iTunes tells you that your iPhone is in recovery mode. Remember, screen should be blank.

If you see an apple logo, repeat the process for less time until you get it right. Took me a little time.



Step 4:



Shift/Option click the restore button in iTunes and select the iPhone1,1_1.1.4 firmware you downloaded.

Fingers crossed it should restore back to 1.1.4.

However, you WILL get an error message when restore is complete, something like (1005) or (1150) I can't remember. That's a good sign.



Step 5:



Your phone now should be "stuck" in restore mode, you should see the old type "connect to iTunes" screen.

Close iTunes and run iLiberty+. Click the Other Tools tab and select Jump out of recovery mode.

Keep your eye on the bottom right of the Liberty window; it should change from a flashing recovery mode, to disconnected, within about 5/10 seconds. If it does, that's a good sign. If it doesn't, you may need to hard reset the iPhone (holding power and home until screen goes off) and try again.

Once it kicks it out of recovery mode you should see the slide for emergency calls screen on 1.1.4.



Step 6:



This is crucial and here's a little back-story.



When you updated to 2.0, what a lot of people didn't realize, me included, is that it includes a new baseband file. This is the file which allows your iPhone to make/receive calls, text's etc. This is what caused me hours and hours of trouble as I couldn't figure out a way to erase it. The answer was sent to me on another forum and that is,



KiPhone!!



Now here's the problem. This guide is what I did up to this point, but what I then went on to do was to jailbreak the iPhone, Google some more and then I found I needed KiPhone.

You shouldn't need to jailbreak it to run KiPhone but if it fails to work, try it.



Run KiPhone and select downgrade baseband and debug boot. Hit start and your iPhone should restart and you should see lines of scrolling txt. It took a while, 5 minutes or so. (The only way I know of seeing if it worked instantly was by jailbreaking it first, that choice is up to you). Once done you will need to restore the iPhone one more time to 1.1.4 using iTunes. Shift clicking restore should do it, no need to put into recovery mode. (Why do you need to restore again? If you just jailbreak after downgrading the baseband, you can receive calls but not make any, only send texts but not receive any).



The test if it works is when restore is done; it should give you NO errors.







Step 7:



This is the hard part, run iLiberty+, select what options you want, select "Go For it" and wait. Once done you will be back using your trusty 1.1.4 iPhone in no time.

Answer 2

trust me i know from experience 1600 thru 1608 errors are from not having your phone in dfu mode i explain at the bottom, google the difference on dfu and recovery mode and learn how to apply both, ziphone or i liberty wont do it on auto because 2.0 has hijacked your iphone so you have to do it manually

here is the solution though it is gonna takes about 3 hours but you will have your phone back and i say 3 hours from downloading over and over again to waiting to whalla so follow these steps and you will be good



download itunes 7.5 if you havent done so

download the 1.1.4 firmware from apple ( kinda HARD to find it but just google it or yahoo search it )



but first restore your phone to 2.0, i know it is a ***** but it has to be done correctly



learn to put your phone in dfu mode not recovery mode they look the same but it needs to be in dfu mode



now once you have restored the phone to 2.0 erase everything apple on your computer that means itunes, quicktime, safari, bojour, ipod, and then go into your personal music folder and delte the itunes folder there



once done go to oldapps.com and download itunes 7.5



now you must put the phone in dfu mode and run itunes dont worry when you cut itunes on and it says it isnt comaptible with the iphone



You will need the following :



iTunes 7.5 : [itunessetup7.5]



iPhone1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw : [download - 2G]



iTunes 7.7 : [itunessetup7.7]



iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw : [download - 3G] This is Only For iPhone 3G



KiPhone Windows : [KiPhone]



Step 1:



Uninstall iTunes 7.7 if you have it and restart your computer



Step 2:



Install iTunes 7.5, iLiberty+ & KiPhone. Make sure only iTunes is running



Step 3:



Enter the phone in DFU mode (You must have the iPhone connected to the computer and iTunes running). To do this, hold the power & the home button down for 9 seconds. Why 9? Well people say 10, but it depends how slow you are at counting. Too short and it doesn't work, too long and the apple logo appears. When you hit about 6/7 the screen should turn off, leave it for 2 more seconds and release the power button, STILL holding the home button. If all went well, you should NOT see an

apple logo, the screen should be dead. Keep holding home until windows/Mac informs you that it's found new hardware, OR iTunes tells you that your iPhone is in recovery mode. Remember, screen should be blank



Step 4:



Shift/Option click the restore button in iTunes and select the iPhone1,1_1.1.4 firmware you downloaded.it should restore back to 1.1.4 However, you WILL get an error message when restore is complete, something like 1011, 1013,1015 That's a good sign This is normal and

expected. An error 1601, 1602, 1600 or anything else is not ok.



Step 5:



Your phone now should be "stuck" in restore mode, you should see the old type "connect to iTunes" screen. run iLiberty+ Click the Other Tools tab and select Jump out of recovery mode. Keep your eye on the bottom right of the Liberty window it should change from a flashing recovery mode to disconnected within about 5/10 seconds. If it does, that's a good

sign. If it doesn't, you may need to hard reset the iPhone (holding power and home until screen goes off) and try again. Once it kicks it out of recovery mode you should see the slide for emergency calls screen on 1.1.4.



Step 6:



Run KiPhone



Erase Baseband:



If you have the bootloader 3.9:

You can use this option to erase, which baseband do

want. 04.05.01_G, 04.05.02_G, 04.05.03_G AND 04.05.04_G too.

Check "iErase" AND "Debug" and press "start"



If you have the bootloader 4.6:



You can use this option to erase the baseband, if isn't

04.05.04_G. If it's the 04.05.04_G baseband, you must

downgrade the baseband first, lock under "Downgrade Baseband"

you have the bootloader 4.6 and the 04.05.04_G baseband -> run first "Downgrade Baseband"



Step 7:



Once done you will need to restore the iPhone one more time to 1.1.4 using iTunes. Shift clicking restore should do it, no need to put into recovery mode.



Step 8:



This is the hard part, run iLiberty+, select what options you want, select "Go For it" and wait. Once done you will be back your iPhone 1.1.4 Unlocked



Troubleshooting:



If you think you are in DFU mode and keep getting error 20 from iTunes restore, you are not in DFU mode. An iPhone in DFU mode has no image on the screen and looks powered down.



you might get reporting error 160x (1600, 1601, 1602, 1604 etc) on the iTunes downgrade while in DFU mode. You may still have some residual files left over from the 7.7 install. Make sure you are in iTunes 7.5 with drivers from 7.7. I suggest trying another PC with itune 7.5

Answer 3

You may want to take the sim card out and restart your phone... I am familiar with these problems but the thing that would definitely work is you use a windows computer with itunes 7.6.2, I tell you this cause I'm using a mac and it keeps saying error 1600,1603,1604, etc.

Answer 4
