After updating the firmware of your hottest gadget you suddenly found yourself holding a $400 brick, will you sue apple for it? Not anymore, someone has found a way to revived your formerly unlocked and now bricked Iphone. Here’s the steps posted on Gizmodo by Dev Team.

  • Make sure you have a copy of the 1.0.2 firmware handy and decrypted
  • Reboot iPhone holding top (power) and home buttons *BUT* release the top button 10 seconds into it (right after the screen goes dark)
  • The iPhone screen will appear to be off, but start iTunes (latest version worked for me on the Mac)
  • Option+Click restore and select the 1.0.2 firmware ipsw
  • The phone will restart and error out at the end, this is expected
  • Shutdown iTunes
  • Launch the latest iNDpendence
  • Jailbreak the phone using a decrypted 1.0.2 (it will flash all sorts of error, but stick with it)
  • Activate the phone
  • It will show the SIM. error but you should be able to get back in.
