Unlocking your iPhone needs following things

·         Strong Wi-Fi connection

·         A GSM SIM Card

·         A Windows Computer

·         Enough Patience

Stage 0

If you have tried to unlock or have unlocked your iPhone under firmware V 1.0.2 then it is recommended that you revirginize you iPhone

I personally did not have to do it (my case was a bit different) but i just restored my iPhone through iTunes with V 1.0.2 updated to V 1.1.1 (i also restored directly to V 1.1.1 in my attempt over unlocking my iPhone many ways)

but if you want to find out about revirginizing you can check out my Post about Revirginizing your iPhone

Stage 1

if you have an iPhone which has not been activated proceed from here otherwise go to 3b

1. Enter *#307# press call, now use the back button on the top of your screen to remove *#307# , now enter 0 , press call, press answer, press hold, press decline. And you get to the contact list. If you want to get to the contact you can repeat the same process over and over again

2. Add a dummy contact with whatever name you want. Add a home URL as prefs://1F . save the contact. Tap on the URL and it will ask you to select a Wi-Fi Network. Once you are connected please note down your Wi-Fi address you might need that later (you can do this later is well)

3a. Now add a new URL in the same contact and type in http://jailbreakme.com as web-address. Tap on that URL to go the website in your Safari and from there Scroll Down to click on Install AppSnap.

OR 

3b. (If you have access to Safari on your Home Screen i.e. your iPhone is already activated) Open Safari and go to http://jailbreakme.com and from there scroll down to click on Install AppSnap

4. If Safari disappears and you return to the main Home screen, you’re good. Just wait a minute more for your unit to restart (Don’t touch anything until you see the slide to unlock screen). If it doesn’€™t restart, go ahead and restart manually. But If Safari hangs, just quit out (press and hold Home for 4-8 seconds) and try again.

5. Once you get to slide-to-unlock, go ahead and open your iPhone. You’ll return to your home screen which will contain a new Installer.app icon.

* If you want to use SSH and WinCP follow this steps (OLD METHOD) or go to NEW METHOD

*OLD METHOD* 

6. Now you will need to install the BSD subsystem, Community Sources, and then install Open SSH (You may need to upgrade Installer.app )

7. Now Download AnySIM V1.1.1. open WinCP and connect to your iPhone using

Username = root & password = dottie OR alpine

8. Copy AnySIM V 1.1.1 to your iPhone’s Application€™s folder and make sure that the folder AnySIM.app and the file AnySIM inside it has rights 0755 (If not right click and select properties and just change it to 0755)

9. Restart your iPhone. Go to Settings and set General→Autolock to Never and run AnySIM V 1.1.1 (Make sure that your desired SIM card is in the iPhone)

10. after the successful run of the AnySIM tool you will have unlocked iPhone. Now sometimes the iPhone might give a message that Waiting for Activation. If that’s the case then Download Lock Down File. Extract it.

11. WinSCP your iPhone. Go to “/usr/libexec”. Replace the existing file (OR for your safety rename the file on iPhone as lockdown.back). Restart your iPhone and you would be FREE

12. Download the 3 files here. Extract it. WinSCP to your iPhone again. Go to “œ/var/root/Library/Lockdown/”. Notice you should not get any œ”activation record”€ folder. Replace the existing file now. Restart the iPhone again. You should now happy to get it work with YouTube.

* NEW METHOD *

6. Got Installer. Tap on Sources. Add Launch Installer on the iPhone

7. Tap Sources, Tap Edit, Tap Add

8. Enter http://iphone.blurgle.ca/repo in the url box and hit go. (not having a trailing slash matters) Installer.app will add the source.

9. Go back to Installer.app, tap “All Packages” and install AnySIM.

10. Run AnySIM and follow the on-screen instructions

11. Remove your SIM card and put it back in.

NOTE:- You might need to perform step 12 of OLD METHOD to activate Youtube.I haven’€™t used the new method so can’€™t confirm it.
