Thread: updating your bricked iphone to IOS4 (lucid lynx)


well tried updated ios 4 yesterday , got bricked twice
save other cluless ppl me trouble of trying fix
6 hours post worked me:

1.download vmplayer:http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ (fill in k , send link)
2.find file downloaded , put in /desktop directory
3.open command line , run following command :

sudo sh vmware-player-3.1.0-261024.i386.bundle

4.get iso of windows of choice or cd if have it
5.after vmplayer finished installing ask setup new machine
follow easy , self explaining orders create machine(you might wana go smoke or make coffee cause installation took long me @ least)
6.once windows working download , install latest itune
7.plug in iphone , make availbale vm right-clicking @ icon @ right side of vmplayer , connecting
8.the update process should start @ point

, btw reason need vmplayer , not vm virtualbox cause itunes 9.2 dosent run in virtualbox , if update older version of itune left iphone in emergency call state because itunes older 9.2 wont activate phone.

comparison did installing vm virtualbox->installing itune 9.0.3->running update->iphone keeps changing usb id->iphone ends bricked(first time)->searching net yeilded fact need setup filter usbin virtual box-> made filter->iphone started recovery mode , updated->iphone bricked(second time) cause itunes 9.2 can activate it->i download vmplayer after learned run itunes 9.2 easily-> installed windows 7->installed itunes-> pluged in iphone-> iphone activates.

@ last part smoked 11 cigarettes , pissed of on apple closeness .

hope save 1 else trouble of piecing toghter.

thanks man, saved bacon, thought missus going kill me after told bricked it!!

appreciated!
