This is the Mac version of the unlock guide for 1.1.1 iPhones. Credits to Naximus from the Dev Team.
================================
I am hoping this could help those who have OOB 1.1.1 (virgin) phone and would like it %100 fully unlocked. This is the first and original Mac version of the unlock. I have come back and updated this post to make the instructions as easy and as accurate as possible. When you have success please comeback to tell us, don't forget to rate this posting.
It brings me pleasure to finally contribute and give back to the forum. Since I signed up here I have taken so much and have had very little to give back.
STILL, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I DID THIS AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR MY VIRGIN 1.1.1. I unlocked 3 iphones with it so far
THANKS DEV TEAM.

Get your Firmware version 1.0.o, 1.0.1, or 1.0.2. You will find links within independence help.
Updates or Downloads:
Update to, or get, itunes to 7.4.x.
Process:
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, make sure you kill, and I MEAN KILL, itunehelper. If for whatever resoan you needed to re-boot make sure you kill it again. Its a major pain if you don't. Keep the AT&T SIM in your phone until the last step.
Run independance 1.2.3
Go to Firmware tab. Click enter mode
Once you get a success message, your iphone will have a screen showing itunes icon with a cable to connect.
Close independance and run itunes. You have to do it in this sequence, so if ituens is already open it may not see the iphone.
you will get a msg from itunes saying that it detected iphone in recovery mode and that you must restrat iphone blah blah blah..click ok then close itunes
Make sure itunes is completly out of memory so if you still see it in the doc with an arrow to it, quit it .
restart itunes, u should get a message saying iphone in recovery or so and that it needs to be restored...
hit option (keyboard) and restore (itunes) choose your ipsw file to downgrade to 1.0.2 or whatever you have your iphone to be.
itunes will start its magic on your iphone. wait it will take a while, go make a coffer or something. If you already have a coffee then read on...
The idea is to downgrade your iphone first, we will then activate it, then jail break it, then install ssh on it, then wifi connect it, then get its ip for ssh future calls then prepare it for a special upgrade then ask itunes to do a 1.1.1 upgrade. When its upgraded it will be at our command again. At that point we will activate it. This last activation will also jail break it, install itunes, and enable youtube. We will then reinstall SSH on it,
Once the process finishes, you should get an error "The ipone "iphone" could not be restored" This is OK. Hit ok. Independance will fix it right up again. After you hit OK itunes will give an iphone in recovery mode click ok again and close itunes..
IPhone will show the triangle of death.
Make sure itunes is completly out of memory so if you still see it in the doc with an arrow to it, quit it .
Startup independance again now, its going to kick iphone back into mode, wait on independance as long as it says its connected or connecting but NOT if disconnected.
Once that happens you will see that the Activate Iphone button under the Activation tab is now enabled, go ahead and click it. Look for your firmware version and choose the folder that has Firmware folder within in and visible.
If at this point you get error entering recovery mode then close independance and try opening it again retrying this last step. This time it should be ok, if not then open itunes then close it and make sure its out of memory like last time (arrow in doc k gone) and try again. But it is important to open it first then close it if the error presisted in your case. This time it should work..wait for independance to finish and it will finish but you must trust it....
You should get a success message...when you do, go on to the jailbreak tab and click what else but jail break. Choose the same firmware folder you did last time. You may get the same recovery error, if you did, repeat process as before starting by closing then reopening independance...
Now go to the SSH tab in independance...click install ssh! follow the commands by independance now to install ssh. (basically rebooting twice). You should get a success window pop up..cool. ignore iphone errors.
Go to your wifi and set it up. Recored your ip once wifi is set up. Make sure you actually have a valid ip and configuration by trying safari and seeing a page like google come up.
Go to firmware tab in independance..click pre 1.1.1 button. Enter ur iphone ip and use dottie for the password. Out comes a message box from independance so follow its instructions please...keep independance running while you are doing so until i tell you to close it..ok?
Hit OK now but only after you are done with setting up the iphone in itunes as the independace box told you to do. Independace will do some work then pop a msg box saying success your iphone is ready to be upgraded. click ok, quit independace and go to itunes which should be in your dock and running...
HiT UPDATE NOT RESTORE. Wait forever...we are now upgrading back to 1.1.1. and restoring everything we lost in the downgrade. We will next activate and jail break in one step, but keep on waiting for now.
Once the wait is over ou should now get a message from itunes saying that iPhone has been updated..hit ok and quit itunes..remember ...out of memory.
Run independance, you should see at the bottom the status : Connected to iPhone. Firmware 1.1.1 . not activated. AFC connection . jailed. If you see anything else, sorry but you must start over gain.
Now Activate the iphone again. Easy stuff now right?
Re-install SSH easier stuff. You will have to reboot twice within the process of doing so.
When you get a sucess message you can then go to Cusomize tab. Choose Applications folder, Choose System. Click the tiny rounded add button. Browse to your downloaded anySIM location and choose it. You will be asked for ip and password. Enter IP you recorded, and use alpine for password. If you get the "fix it message say yes".
Close independance. You might have noticed that it came with a Folder named SpringBoardPatcher. Open it and run the app, once you see the logout line printed in console close it.
Put your SIM into the iphone (remove AT&Ts).
Click the anySIM icon you now see in your spring board.
Go to iphone Springboard. Run anySIM...wala, you are done...
Post unlock steps (Optional but recommenede):
I however recommend you remove anySIM first then remove SSH. Use independance to remove both. Look for anySIM in the User folder now not the System one. Thanks. ENJOY YOUR NOW 1.1.1 with its cool TVOut and ITunes features. ALso enjoy YouTube. This should now be working and activated for you. See ya soon and don't hesitate to ask questions..If I know I will answer, if I don't answer its becuase I don't know yet.
