hey

can this be upgraded from 1.0.2 after downloading OktoPrep in 1.0.2 or first i have to upgrade to 1.1.1.

thanks
does this method downgrade a virgin iphone with 1.1.1 to 1.0.2
please engadget try to unlock this phone having firmware 1.1.1 with the available unlocking methods
Here's the way to do it-

* Download the iUnlock_Reloaded.zip. Save it to a directory.
* cd to where you just saved the download and unzip it.
* in another wiindow, ssh into your iPhone and run: mkdir /unlock
* back on your Mac, scp the three files to your iPhone: scp -p iUnlock_reloaded *bin root@youriphoneip:/unlock
* on your iPhone, run: cd /unlock
* on your iPhone, run: ./iUnlock_reloaded

If it worked, and says your iPhone is unlocked, you're done. If not, read on.

If it says that the flash went ok, but the unlock failed, do this:
* put a copy of the 1.0.2 firmware in a directory on your Mac. If you need to download it, get it from here.
* rename the extension on the firmware from ipsw to zip
* unzip it
* run: dd if=009-7698-4.dmg of=ramdisk.dmg bs=512 skip=4 conv=sync
* use finder to navigate to the directory where ramdisk.dmg is and double-click it to mount it.
* copy the following files to the directory you unziped iUnlock_Reloaded.zip in:
o /Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/bin/bbupdater
o /Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.eep
o /Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.fls
* copy those three files to your iPhone: scp -p bbupdater ICE* root@youriphoneip:/unlock
* on your iPhone, run: cd /unlock
* on your iPhone, run: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
* on your iPhone, run: ./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep
* on your iPhone, run: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
* on your iPhone, run: ./iUnlock_reloaded

It should successfully flash and unlock this time.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
