Update: I can personally confirm this 100% working. What I did…

1. Downgraded my bricked 1.1.1 to 1.0.2; following this guide. I used iNdependence to enter DFU mode.
2. Downgraded the iPhone’s baseband firmware to 03.14.08_G; using this guide.
3. Revirginized my phone — using what you see below.
4. Restored iPhone system software 1.0.2 again (because I kept getting errors with iTunes)
5. Used iNdependence again — activated, jailbroke, installed SSH, then prepared for the 1.1.1 update.
6. After successful update; faked activation with iNdependence, installed SSH, copied over anySIM-1.1 (the new root password for 1.1.1 is ‘alpine’), then SIM unlocked!

Booyah! I’m now sportin’ a 100% unlocked iPhone with software version 1.1.1. Thanks iPhone Dev Team!

Good news! Now you can safely update to 1.1.1, enjoy all the latest & greatest features, and most importantly — unlock that bad boy with anySIM 1.1. That is of course, right after you revirginize your iPhone. Download the Virginizer package below — it contains all the necessary tools and files to restore your iPhone’s baseband. Once you got that, follow the source link — it details the restoration process, courtesy of the iPhone Elite Dev Team.

FAQ:

Q. I got “bricked” when I upgraded to 1.1.1 after using anySIM/iUnlock on 1.0.2. Will this allow me to safely upgrade to 1.1.1 without further problems?

A. Yes.

Q. Will this reset the NCK counter?

A. Yes.

Q. Can I use this method to re-virginize my iUnlock/anySIM’d phone in either 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 firmwares?

A. Yes. However, this process involves reflashing the 3.14 baseband firmware so it is safer to downgrade to 1.0.2 OS firmware prior to proceeding.

Q. Can I use this tool if my phone was unlocked with IPSF?

A. No. Only IPSF can restore the baseband seczone to factory-default.

Q. I attempted to virginize using geohot’s server but it failed. Is it safe to use this method now?

A. Maybe. If the previous attempt to re-virginize accidentally wrote zeroes in the baseband seczone then this method will likely not work. However, if the failure was non-damaging then you are welcome to try and see if this works. Be sure to backup your seczone first!

The guide assumes you’ve already established ssh access to your phone. For added peace-of-mind it is advisable to install the vt100 terminal application or MobileTerminal prior to running through this process just in case anything fails and you lose wifi access.
