posted on March 7th, 2008
At the moment, this is the best way to unlock your iPhone on OSX. period. Why? Because it is fully restorable. How to do it? Well, just follow the steps below.
1. Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes. Also click the date/time at the top right of your screen and open “date & time”
2. Look at the clock. At a certain moment, press and hold the power and home button on your iPhone. After *exactly* 10 seconds, release the power button and keep the home button pressed until the iPhone is recognized in iTunes. The iPhone screen will be black.
3. Restore your iPhone to firmware version 1.1.4 by holding the option/alt button on your keyboard and pressing restore in iTunes. You’ll see a Finder window. Select the 1.1.4 firmware ipsw and hit OK.
4. Wait till the firmware has been installed. iTunes will show a wrong SIM message, or an activate now message. Close iTunes when you see that message. Also close the iTunesHelper with Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor).
5. Download iPlus 2.0 and extract the zip file to your desktop. If you don’t have librreadline installed, copy libreadline.5.2.dylib from the iPlus1.2 folder to /opt/local/lib/ on the root (not in another folder) of your hard disk. If those folders don’t exist, you need to create them (right click in Finder, new folder, create the folder opt, inside that folder a folder local and inside that one a folder lib)
6. Launch a terminal window (Applictaion/Utilities/Terminal) and type:
cd /Users/your account/Desktop/’iPlus 2.0′
7. Then type in ./iplus -u
8. Wait a few minutes. After about 5 minutes, you’ll see your iPhone boot up and the slide to unlock window. Do not slide it yet, but wait another tow minutes. The iPhone will restart twice after about 2 minutes
9. After that restart, slide to unlock, read the nice message and enjoy your unlocked iPhone!
