As you know, my iPhone is a 3.9 bootloader, with 04.02.13_G. I've got it running 1.1.3 via the software upgrader at the moment. All seems ok-ish.

With the release of Zibri's unlock/activate tool I'm wondering if it's possible for me to go to the 04.03.13 baseband by going back to 1.1.2, updating officially via iTunes and then using Ziphone.

Will I end up with a SIM-free, 3.9 bootloader, 04.03 baseband, 1.1.3 working phone? Or a pretty papaer weight?

And, more importantly, is it worth the bother?

(I tried emailing you the other day but got no response smile)

(I tried finding out from the massive thread running on Hackint0sh too but there's only so much wading through "Somebody pleaze post anser! My iPhone has got dead i think!" that a man can take in one day.... smile)

Ah so you used the baseband upgrader?

I was reading about that.

Mine is currently SIM-freed with AnySim 1.2 (which works on 1.1.2 and 1.1.3) but as I said, the baseband remains at 04.02.13

Hmmmmm scratchchin

Gave ZiPhone 2.0 a whirl today.

It shouldn't be that easy, should it?

Heh, another great post Cyberface. smile

Have to say I agree - all the bitching is spectacularly pathetic. I guess there's some pretty big egos getting bruised.

Who's this guy; http://george.zjlotto.com/

His blog is great. Really helpful and seemingly quite a knowledgeable chap...

im going to leave mine on 1.1.2 old jailbreak for the moment. As i know i have a working phone but as soon as i do this it will break . . its just my luck!

Maybe once 1.1.4 is out
Have to say, the 1.1.3 doesn't bring much benefits for me. The locate function on Google Maps still doesn't work properly despite the claim that you had to have the upgraded baseband/modem firmware (which I now have). The third-party app LocateMe works every time, though is not particularly accurate.

And the ability to move round icons on Springboard is rubbish compared to Customize (which doesn't work on 1.1.3).

Still, main thing is you'll need 1.1.3 (at least) to be able to install official third-party applications when they appear. Though I'm sure someone will probably find a way around that too smile
