unlocking and jailbreaking an iphone using a macbook, iNdependence 1.2.1a and itunes 7.4

Posted in tech by ytcracker on September 15th, 2007

because of this shitty fucking 9 hour experience i had with unlocking an iphone, i will share with you the secret to foregoing the headaches i endured during my unlock and jailbreak procedure.

i’m not going to put pictures up because i’m sadistic and hate you.

1. take a shitload of oxycodone, maybe drink like 9 or 10 coronas. mellow the fuck out.
2a. download itunes 7.4, but don’t open it just yet.
2b. download all of the files i have in this directory.
2c. unzip anything that needs unzipping and mount the iNdependence dmg i graced you with.
3. dock your iphone to your stupid macbook.
4. hold in the power button on the top of the iphone and the home key on the iphone simultaneously until you see the apple warning triangle that says “connect this stupid piece of shit to itunes”.
5. start itunes.
6. itunes will update your iphone just hit done, next next, sure, whatever, nis.
7. after your iphone is rebooted and itunes detected it, your iphone will be at the activation screen.
8. quit itunes completely.
9. open up the activity monitor in your applications/utilities directory.
10. search for itunes and kill the itunes helper. zap that shit motherfucker.
11. run iNdependence from inside the mounted image.
12. click the activate phone button and wait until it does its thing and the iphone boots up again.
13. a dialog will come up telling you what a pimp you are - click ok here.
14. click the jailbreak button along the top of the application.
15. perform the jailbreak on the iphone.
16. the iphone will reboot after you follow directions and the phone will be jailbrokenized.
17. click the ssh button at the top of the application.
18. click the install the ssh/sftp blahbiddyblah button.
19. follow the instructions that iNdependence tells you and ssh will be installed on the app. the root password is “dottie”.
20. when the iphone returns from its reboot, go to the settings/network on the iphone and connect to your wireless network. get the ip address of your iphone.
21. connect to your iphone using cyberduck - select the protocol as sftp, hostname would be the ip address of ye phone, login: root, password: dottie
22. copy the lockdownd file you unzipped from my files into /usr/libexec/ - you will overwrite the existing file with the one i gave you.
23. copy the unlock.app into the /applications directory on the iphone.
24. turn off the iphone. stick a paperclip or safety pin into the little hole on the top and press down to eject the SIM card.
25. put in your other SIM card and turn the phone on.
26. click the unlock icon on your iphone desktop and hit the start button.
27. pop some more oxy, smoke some purp, sip some lean for 20 mins - your iphone will be unlocked.

change your fucking root password through iNdependence so no one hax you.

fucking iphone man what a bitch.
plus i had this fucking madhouse going on at my crib but that’s another story all together. i hate my life.
