First, a huge thanks to Poetic Folly and the developers who have done great work now and in the past to help us (especially such as I who are living outside of the US) to free our phones from the tyranny that is AT&T.

I myself started with an already unlocked 1.1.1 iPhone (previously unlocked using Independence and anySim per the ModMyI Guide). Using this guide I was able to successfully update to 1.1.2 with everything working and without any glitches whatsoever.

Here are some comments which I think might prove helpful to others thinking about following in my footsteps.

I had several third-party apps installed on my unlocked 1.1.1 iPhone before I began the process. I was able to run the OKtoPrep application. When I connected the iPhone to my iTunes (on Intel Mac running Leopard) v. 7.4.2, I did not get a message to "Set Up New iPhone". Instead, iTunes 7.4.2 recognized my iPhone. I selected the Update button, which downloaded firmware 1.1.2. Once downloaded, I had to again press the Update button and agree to automatically download future updates before it would start the install.

The install went smoothly. From start to finish I had my foreign sim card in the iPhone (and never needed to take it out through the entire unlock process). The install did not brick my iphone despite the fact that I had several third-party apps on it (this must be the result of the OKtoPrep software).

Once installed and jailbreaked, I found that my SMS was not working. I installed iWorld, selected my country and this solved the problem.

Once up and running with 1.1.2, I found that my pre-existing third party applications, while not causing any difficulty during the install, jailbreak and unlock, had disappeared afterwards.

However, my songs and videos remained unaffected. They were all still there as they were before the install process began. I noticed, however, when i first played some the speaker volume was low. I powered off and on and the volume was restored to normal.

My notepad (which I had forgotten to backup via email as I have done before) also was unaffected. All my notes were still there (Whew!).

My calendar and contacts were also not wiped by the upgrade/jailbreak/unlock. Same was true of my email settings--I had all my existing email and was able to download new email without having to reenter any settings.

Same was also true of photos and weather settings.

Interestingly enough, in the iPhone iTunes WiFi store app, my purchases via the iPhone were no longer listed in downloads. The songs themselves were, however, still available in the iPod app.

Also all my ringtones installed using iToner were also still there and working.


I have reinstalled Summerboard and several other third-party apps, which seem to work fine on the new firmware.

Overall, the 1.1.2 upgrade does seem a touch more responsive (just barely noticeable, although I have only just started using it). The web surfing seems a bit faster as well (while download speed is the same, it seems to assemble and put up the page faster).

Hope these comments are helpful.
