What do i do when i connect iphone up for 1st time?

[OzZie]

Am sat here looking at an unusable iphone at the moment, with itunes popping up telling me to either register or cancel the screen that is in front of me.

Do i just cancel it, then jailbreak + unlock it with ziphone so i can use it with my PAYG orange sim?

Thanks.

I was in the same position yesterday mate
I did...

-Plug into PC in recovery mode (I held the home button and plugged into dock and still kept hold until the phone showed the USB cable and iTunes logo)
-Ignore the activate screen that iTunes shows, I cancelled first time and it wouldn't let me do anything if I remember correctly
-I did restore, which downloaded software 1.1.4 and installed it, just to make sure the phone was running it
-Closed iTunes, open task manager and end process iTuneshelper.exe
-Ran ZiPhone, chose the option "Do it all"
-Left for 5mins or so, waited for confirmation from ZiPhone
-Unplugged from dock and installed my Orange sim card

Thanks a lot matey.

Speedy reply like that is always good when your waiting at your desk pressing F5

Will try now.

Plug in. Ignore iTunes. Run ZiPhone. Select Do It All. Make Coffee. Enjoy full iPhone access!

Easy as shooting fish in a barrel (as proven by Mythbusters)

Aye it done. Damn easy.

Just trying to get it all set up now.

Thanks for your help.

The OCUK way recently seems to be:

1. Plug phone in
2. Put it in restore mode
3. Run unlocking tool
4. Update the firmware in iTunes
5. Swear
6. Repeat steps 1-3

That's because you got steps 4 and 3 in the wrong order

Oh, and click "restore" instead of update in iTunes.

I know that.. I didn't do it.. but it seems a few people have done it recently

We've had a few OMG IT'S BWOKEN! posts from people with failed ramdisk boots in ziphone too

There's too many iPhone threads tbh.

Someone should merge the "help" threads in to 1 single entity.

Damn slacking underboss *whistles*

Or people should try searching or reading a few threads before posting.. again..

Bit like this one really

The pedantic way is:

1. Plug phone in
2. Run ZiPhone
3. Bemoan the BaseBand Downgrade
4. Swear
5. Use Bootneuter
6. Feel warm an fuzzy

Most people just do 1 and 2.

Maybe worth updating the FAQ thread with stuff like: What is bootneuter, do I need it? What is iLiberty+ etc..

I plead guilty to both of them!!
