iPHONE 2.1 UNLOCKING and JAILBREAKING INSTRUCTIONS
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE 1ST GENERATION IPHONE
ONLY. IF YOU HAVE A 3G IPHONE PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE 3G
INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOUR iPHONE IS CURRENTLY LOCKED OR
NOT FUNCTIONING BEFORE YOU BEGIN AS YOU MAY REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL HELP
YOU MUST HAVE ITUNES 8.0 INSTALLED WHEN FOLLOWING THESE
INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR IPHONE TO 2.1 FIRMWARE
BEFORE YOU START THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Explanation of the terms within this instruction guide.
1stGEN means the original iPhone. This iPhone has an aluminium back and black plastic buttons on
the side. This iPhone is sometimes called the 2G
3G This is the new iPhone that was released in July 2008. The iPhone has a black or white plastic
cover and metal buttons on the side.
Unlocked means that the iPhone can be used on any compatible GSM network. The 1st Generation
iPhones can be unlocked but the 3G iPhone cannot.
Jailbroken is the term applied to the process of setting the iPhone so that it can be customized with
settings and applications not normally available on the iPhone or via download from the Apple App
store.
How to use these instructions.
Upgrading to 2.1 is a simple multi-step process. You must follow each step in order.
If possible please Sync your iPhone with iTunes before starting these instructions, as your data WILL be
wiped off of the iPhone. You will get the data and settings back if you have syncʼd your contacts, email,
photos etc before you start.
As you will be wiping the iPhone any applications you downloaded onto the iPhone will be removed but
the Apple App store applications can be downloaded for free again if you have downloaded them
previously.
BEFORE YOU START
Please do not try this procedure when using an iPhone docking device. This procedure can only work if
when you connect the USB cable directly into the iPhone. iTunes MUST be able to detect your iPhone.
Whether in a Recovery mode or it simply tells you that there is an upgrade available.
If possible sync up your contacts as you will be wiping your iPhone and will need to restore them back at
the end of this process.
If at any stage you encounter an error please make a note of the message and check the list of errors at
the bottom of this document. If you still encounter the error after following my advice contact me on

with these instructions. For these instructions to work your account must have Administrator
permissions on your computer and you must have entered a password.

Step 3.
Connect your iPhone to the computer using a cable not the Docking Device. Wait for any pop up
messages to appear in iTunes and close them. You should now be presented with a summary screen
with a restore button displayed. IF YOU DO NOT SEE A RESTORE BUTTON IN ITUNES PLEASE
CONTACT US
Step 4.
You will now see a screen with an iPhone called the “Summary”
Windows users: Hold down the Shift and Click Restore
Mac users: Hold down ALT and click Restore
If you do this correctly you will be asked to select a file to open. If you get anything else click cancel and
start Step 4 again
Step 5.
In the pop up window that appears navigate to where you downloaded the files and select the file called
iphonerestore.ipsw and click open
NOTE: This may take 15-20 minutes depending on the condition of your
iphone PLEASE BE VERY PATIENT DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR IPHONE
DO NOT TOUCH YOUR IPHONE UNTIL YOU SEE THE HOME SCREEN WITH
ALL THE ICONS OR YOU ENCOUNTER AN ERROR MESSAGE
When the unlock has completed you will see your home screen on the iPhone with all of the icons. In
iTunes you will be asked to choose between setting up your iPhone as a new iPhone or to restore your
iPhone from a backup.
We recommend that you set up your iPhone as a new iPhone. You will be given the option to resync all
of your contacts and applications back to the iPhone on the following screen.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me on iPhone@ukstreets.net
3rd Party Application Sources
Here is a list of all the sources for applications that I have found on the internet. Please remember that
not all applications will run on 2.0 so you may have to wait for the developers to recode their
applications so that they work on your upgraded iPhone. I am not responsible for any of the applications
that you may install on your iPhone so please be careful what you download.
To add a source to your iPhone do the following:
1. select the Cydia application icon on the iPhone
2. select manage at the bottom of the screen
3. select sources in the middle of the screen
4. select edit in the top right of the screen
5. select add on the top left of the screen
6. enter a url detailed below and click add source
7. close cydia
8. open Cydia
9. go to Sections your new applications will appear here or you can use the search option if you
know the name of the application
