It happened! The 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OTB firmware with bootloader 4.6 have been cracked.

Following a bit of a hardcore method, theses phones can now be fully unlocked!

Stay tuned and allow me some time to test it this week-end!

For the moment, until I write a nice little tutorial, more info can be found here.

Number instead of name

Each time you receive a call, the iPhone will check against the address book to see if the incoming number matches any of your contacts. If it does, it displays the name instead of the incoming number.

On the iPhone, this does not work, because it checks the entire number instead of the last X digits. As you can enter a number in various ways in your address book (+41791234567, 0791234567, 0041 79 123 45 67, …), it will often mismatch and display the number instead of the contact name.

For the 1.1.2 iPhone, it is very easy:

- Go to “Settings” > “General” > “International”

- In “Region Format”, choose the one that fits your region. Note: for the French part of Switzerland, go to “French” and select “Switzerland”. For the German part, it’s the same principle.

- Your incoming calls will now match your address book!

For the 1.1.1 iPhone, it is easy… but a bit less

Our friends from the DevTeam have recoded the files and our other friend from unlock.no has put a simple installer in its repository. This makes it very easy for you to fix the issue:

- On your iPhone, go to Installer application (yes, you have it…)

- On the bottom right, go to “Sources”

- Tap “Edit” (top right) and then “Add” (top left)

- In the window type “http://i.unlock.no” and tap “OK”

- It will refresh the sources, wait for a few seconds

- Tap “Done” (top right) and “Install” (bottom, second from the left)

- Scroll down to the category “Unlocking Tools”, tap on it and select “Phone # to name fix”

- Tap “Install” (top right), confirm… and here we go!

Voicemail

Your annoyed because the Voicemail button does not work on your iPhone?

Reconfigure the button to dial your own voicemail:

- Get to your iPhone’s number keyboard

- Type *5005*86*xxx# (where xxx is your voicemail number). In Switzerland, the standard number is +4186YYYYYYYYYY (where YYYYYYYYYY is your phone number: ex: 079 123 45 67). Example for a Swiss number: type *5005*86*+41860791234567#

- Press the “Call” button, wait a few seconds… and it’s done! Now, when you tap the Voicemail button, it will dial your own voicemail.

Remark: you can also configure it with your national number (0791234567) instead of the international one (+41791234567), but it won’t work when you are roaming…

Tested on 1.1.1 (unlocked with AnySIM 1.1) and 1.1.2 (OTB with Turbo SIM)
