The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
So, I was holding down the home button, and turned the iPhone on. When it started, the Apple logo appeared – and then, joy of joys, the iPhone was back in restore mode – a very welcome sight.
I started up iTunes again, and it told me that it needed to do some online check, to which I clicked yes.
However before this I had started up ZiPhone again and pressed the ‘do it all button’. I probably didn’t need to do this, but as it was running in the background, looking for an iPhone, it then took over and started ‘unlocking’ my iPhone again, so at this point I closed iTunes and let ZiPhone do its thing once more.
After another four minutes, my iPhone restarted, and everything was back the way it was after I’d first unlocked it with ZiPhone, with the software I’d already downloaded through the Installer.app and the change I’d made to the carrier name with Erica Sadun’s ‘Make It Mine’ app. I thought I might need to restore back to a fresh 1.1.3 update, but thankfully, I didn’t need to.
All was working again, and I’ve just finished re-synchronising my iPhone with my music, videos and podcasts.
If I hadn’t fooled around with trying to get iBrickr working, which really isn’t necessary, I wouldn’t have entered the ‘endless reboot loop’, so I can say, with confidence, that the ZiPhone method really does work. And since then, I've gotten iBrickr to work just fine - I'd just been too quick for my own good, and hadn't taken the essential step of turning the iPhone off and on again before seeing if iBrickr worked.
If you’ve got a new iPhone sitting in a box because you haven’t been able to unlock it yet, now you know how, while iPhone owners on older firmware who’ve been waiting for a simple 1.1.3 unlock need wait no longer!
I’m finally enjoying the new 1.1.3 features that I’ve read and reported on in the past, and if you’re an iPhone owner who hasn’t yet upgraded, you can finally enjoy them too.
