There is a way to install and activate the most recent BETA firmware without registering the device's UDID as a developer.
|
|
|
|
What you'll need:
|
|
|
|
* [iTunes 8.2](http://www.iphoneheat.com/2009/05/download-iphone-os-30-beta-5-7a312g-and-itunes-82-b10/)
|
|
* [iPhoneOS 3.0 BETA firmware file](http://www.iphoneheat.com/2009/03/download-iphone-firmware-files-all-at-one-place/)
|
|
* [iUtilities](http://blog.alltechrelated.com/2008/10/24/iutilities-usefully-theme-windows-application/) or [DiskAid](http://www.digidna.net/diskaid/)
|
|
* [QuickPwn](http://www.quickpwn.com/2009/05/quickpwn-3-0-beta-5.html) for the specific firmware version
|
|
* maybe the carrier-specific features file
|
|
|
|
|
|
Steps
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
1. Install iTunes 8.2
|
|
1. Maybe make a backup of your iPhone
|
|
1. Hold <kbd>Shift</kbd> and click the *Restore* button (MAC users: try holding <kbd>⌥</kbd> while clicking)
|
|
1. Select the iPhone OS 3.0 firmware file
|
|
1. Wait until the firmware is installed (~15min)
|
|
* Your iPhone will need activation after bootup, but since your UDID isn't registered at Apple, iTunes will deny the activation
|
|
* the trick is to make iTunes think, there's a 2.2.1 firmware on your phone which it will activate without any problems
|
|
1. Jailbreak the phone using *QuickPwn* (make sure, the *Activate** option is **unchecked**!!)
|
|
1. now use *iUtilities* or *DiskAid*:
|
|
* **iUtilities:** Click the *String Editor* tab and find the section *System Version*
|
|
* enter **2.2.1** into the first box and **5H11** into the second one
|
|
* click *Go*
|
|
* **DiskAid:** Open DiskAid, set the starting node to *Root* in the bottom left
|
|
* navigate to `/System/Libraries/Core Services` and find the file `SystemVersion.plist`
|
|
* open this file (or copy to PC and open there) with an editor (e.g. notepad.exe)
|
|
* change the *ProductBuildVersion* to **5H11** and change the *ProductVersion* to **2.2.1**. Make sure that *ReleaseType* is **Public**
|
|
* save the file (or drag from PC back into *DiskAid*)
|
|
1. reboot your iPhone (hold Home and Power until the slider appears)
|
|
1. launch iTunes and it will activate your iPhone
|
|
1. now you might revert the changes made by *iUtilities* or *DiskAid*, see the table below:

In case you didn't make a backup copy, the file looks like this:
