ZiPhone 2.5 released, compatible with iPhone 1.1.4

February 29th, 2008 by admin

The new ZiPhone version is finally here, not that it took long at all. This version of ziphone is compatible with iPhone version 1.1.4. Read below for more information and to download.

From Ziphone.org

“ZiPhone 2.5 is now on download site for you all to enjoy.

I decided to release it for everyone since MANY are helping supporting sponsors and it would not have been fair to them. I suggest you to do a restore to 1.1.4, not an update. Because installer keeps old installed apps in it’s cache and you would have problems.

Hoping people at conceited software resolve that soon. After restore to 1.1.4, just use “ziphone -Z Y” or the first button on GUI versions. Have fun, and thanks to everyone for supporting and caring!

Stay tuned ! More interesting things are coming up on this site”

Apple releases iPhone version 1.1.4

February 26th, 2008 by admin

I guess the rumor post from before wasn’t so true after all unless this was a security update.

Apple has released iPhone software version 1.1.4. It’s now available for download and installation through iTunes.

Apple isn’t offering any specific details on what’s changed in this new release, except to say that the 1.1.4 release “includes bug fixes and supersedes all previous versions.”

UPDATE: The Ziphone unlocking software that we recommend to unlock your iPhone for free has not been confirmed to work with version 1.1.4 but is said to have it available on the 29th of this month after testing.  I will post when it becomes available.

Some good information on the free iPhone unlocking software

February 20th, 2008 by admin

As we talked about the other day on our blog post Unlock iPhone for Free, the developers blog has some new information that might be helpful while trying to unlock your iPhone.  To summarize, they talk about how the ziphone application does not harm the iPhone at all and doesn’t mess with any security settings.  It also talks about how the unlocking process can be revered very easily in case of any failures.  It also mentions that the ziphone software can repair previously bricked (failed unlockings) iPhones and do complete the process correctly.

Free iPhone Unlocking software released

February 18th, 2008 by admin

Update, the two sites below have combined efforts to release a better product.  The new version ZiPhone 2.5 has been released which is compatible with iPhone version 1.1.4.  See this thread for more information.

The time has come where you don’t have to manually unlock your iPhone anymore. The old process was a great and useful tool, but seems very archaic compared to the new software called “ZiPhone” developed at Zibri’s blog.

It is compatible with the latest iPhone firmware and doesn’t require downgrading your iPhone’s firmware version prior to unlocking it. What could be easier than that?

The ZiPhone software can be downloaded from the following locations.

  • ZiPhone 2.4 (win+osx) *FAST MIRROR*
  • ZiPhone 2.4 OSX GUI Version
  • ZiPhone Source (svn)
  • ZiPhone OSX Source (svn)
  • The new download site is located at http://www.downloadziphone.org/

unlock.no created a version with a graphical user interface for easier operation, and better descriptions. It is available at here at the download location above. See the image below to see what the program looks like.

When using this version of ZiPhone, If you get error “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)” you need to install .NET Framework 2.0.

If you have any problems, have some tips for improvements etc, please post them here
