So here is the scenario. You bought your iPhone on 1.1.1 and unlocked it with iPhoneSimFree. Then 1.1.2 came along and you just couldn’t bear the thought of not accessing and downloading from the iTunes store so you tried to jailbreak to 1.1.2 and ended up with a brick.
Well it looks like you can get that fixed now according to these instructions over on CrunchGear, thanks to Jesus it seems. As ever do this at your own risk etc etc………
1. Launch Installer.app in your iPhone.
2. Go to “Install.�
3. Scroll down to “Tweaks (1.1.2)�
4. Click on iWorld and click Install.
5. Go back to the springboard clicking on the home button and launch iWorld.
6. Select the country in which you are in and the iPhone will reboot.
Only thing that wont work is connection to EDGE as Apple have removed that option it seems so you can’t write your own network and password. It is still possible, but if the above had you sweating then this is going to give you palpitations:
1. Create the following plain text file called UnknownCarrier.plist on your desktop.
2. Paste the following text, changing the parts in CAPITALS for the values you need:
AllowEDGEEditing
CarrierName
YOUR CARRIER NAME
IntlDataRoamingSwitch
ShowCallForwarded
ShowCallForwarding
ShowDialAssist
ShowTTY
SupportsNITZ
VisualVoicemailServiceName
ACDS
apns
apn
YOUR CARRIER GPRS OR EDGE NETWORK ADDRESS
password
PASSWORD
username
USERNAME
apn
password
username
voicemail_context
1
2. Save the file and close.
3. Create a new plain text file called com.apple.carrier.plist on your desktop.
4. Paste this and, like before, replace the text in CAPITALS with the correct values:
AllowEDGEEditing
CarrierName
Carrier
IntlDataRoamingSwitch
ShowCallForwarded
ShowCallForwarding
ShowDialAssist
SupportsNITZ
VisualVoicemailServiceName
ACDS
apns
apn
YOUR CARRIER GPRS OR EDGE NETWORK ADDRESS
password
PASSWORD
username
USERNAME
apn
password
username
voicemail_context
1
5. Save and close the file.
6. Get your iPhone’s IP number from its Wi-Fi network panel.
7. Get a secure FTP program to transmit files to your iPhone (like Cyberduck on the Mac.)
8. Use your IP number to get into your iPhone using the SFTP option in Cyberduck.
9. Navigate to /var/root/Library/Preferences/ and move the com.apple.carrier.plist file there.
10. When it’s done, navigate to /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/ and copy the UnknownCarrier.plist there.
11. Close your SFTP session and restart the iPhone.
You will find the EDGE menu available again under Settings > Network.
