The last update - 1.1.3, introduced a few new capabilities such as the ability to customize the home page, but the only thing noted as new in 1.1.4 are "bug fixes".

Waiting for an activation workaround... Got an iPhone today, not sure if I should try and jailbreak it now (1.1.2) or wait for a 1.1.4 activation thing.
Hostname: "phones ip address" port : 22
Username : root
Password : alpine
then connection type is: scp
Than BAM, your in
WHat's the diff anyway... Between Ziphone and downgrading and jailbreakme.com ?
Oh yeah.. What am I supposed to do with it first thing out of the box anyway? hook it up to itunes? I don't even know which firmware it's loaded with...
Also for you, Ziphone is a program that jailbreaks , activates, and unlocks your iphone with a simple click. THE FIRST thing you should do is find out what firmware you have. Check the back and give me the serial number. Or, if your not comfortable with that, when did you buy the phone and form where? If its version 1.1.2 or 1.1.3, then connect the phone to your pc, let it install itself. DO NOT open itunes. Then in Ziphone you will want to check 4 boxes activate, jailbreak, unlock, then I think its called "verbose". check those four, do it, then wait about 3 - 5 minutes and its done.

But I gave Ziphone a miss because I read some rather unsavoury and unflattering things about Zibri, the coder. Turns out I may have shot myself in the foot with that move because right now I'm doing the friendly, more complicated method and after down-grading to 1.1.1 I've discovered I can't download AppSnapp because my dumbass uni firewall is blocking it.
Needless to say I have a feeling running Ziphone now would be a bit risky
And try as I might, I can't actually find a place to download Ziphone...
Hah! Wait no I might try WinSCP to transfer anySIM over..

read my response to the question. Its all you need. You need to follow from the point after you have jailbroken 1.1.2. Adding the source for iclarified and installing openssh and bsdsubsystem. then running geohotz unlock.
SCP (Secure Copy) is a non-interactive command-line tool for securely transmitting files from a machine to another. It is a secure replacement for RCP and provides a similar command-line syntax. SCP is strongly based on SFTP but is often a more suitable choice when setting up unattended file transfers using scripts.
SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a secure replacement for FTP (File Transfer Protocol) based on the Secure Shell protocol. Unlike FTP, SFTP encrypts both commands and data providing effective protection against common network security risks. SSH Client and Server provide both command-line SFTP tools and a graphical user interface for Windows users. SFTP encrypts the session, preventing the casual detection of your username, password or anything you've transmitted.
The major reason for implementing SFTP versus FTP is security. FTP is not even remotely secure. During an FTP session, your username and password are transmitted in clear text. If someone is eavesdropping, it is not difficult for them to log your FTP username and password.
In FTP all data is passed back and forth between the client and server without the use of encryption. This makes it possible for an eavesdropper to listen in and retrieve your confidential information including login details. With SFTP all the data is encrypted before it is sent across the network.
SFTP is not the same as FTP/S; the latter implements the original FTP protocol through a separately-created secure tunnel.
SCP is simple safe and easy for unattended transferrs.

Legend!
Just out of curiosity, what's the diff between GeoHot and anySim and Ziphone etc etc?
Put another way, what's the best way for me to get to 1.1.3 now?
I was originally planning to wait for a 1.1.4 unlock and go straight to that since it fixes everything that went wrong with 1.1.3. Guess I'll stick with that cos I saw an old version of SummerBoard floating around somewhere.
Call me an idiot, but why isn't UK on the iWorld list?
