I recently bought an unlocked iPhone (1.0.2) and want to change ringtones and maybe add some 3rd party apps. I am a bit confused with how to/what to find and use an app that allows me to do this. I’ve searched several boards but looks like there is a plethora of applications to do this. I contacted the seller of my iPhone and he said he used iBrickr to unlock my phone. I could not find anywhere a “basic” guide for a noob to easily get access to the phone. Also, is it safe now to use iTunes 7.4? Is there any added benefit?
You said you're on 1.0.2 firmware right? If so, do the following:
1. Download the latest version of iBrickr:
http://cre.ations.net/creation/ibrickr
2. Extract the folder to your desktop and run ibrickr.exe. You should see a screen that says "Ready to customize your iPhone"
3. Click on Applications. You'll be prompted to install a pxl file. Follow the instructions.
4. Once the pxl is installed, you can now browse applications. Select "Installer" from the list. (The most current version on iBrickr is at v2.63). This will place an Installer icon on your iPhone.

OK thanks for the reply,
I am on firmware 1.0.2 and I downloaded iBrickr. Now do I need iTunes launched to use iBrickr? Also I don't know what iBrickr version the seller used to unlock does it matter?... I just don't want to re-do or screw up what has already been done and potentially brick the phone.
I wonder why the installer app was not installed when the person jailbroke the phone to begin with...

This was posted on iBrick's site: "If you don't sync with iTunes on the computer you're trying to use, you need to open iTunes once with the phone connected before trying to open iBrickr."
So try that and see if it works. Also, try plugging it into different USB ports. And if you're on Vista, run the program as "Admin".
If you still have problems with iBrickr, your other solution is to use WinSCP and manually install the Installer app.
