  6. Wait about 2 Minutes & 30 Seconds, your iPhone will show obscure shell commands on it.

Warning

It is best to stay away from the -Z options, they all want to downgrade the boot loader, which is a dangerous process and once it occurs it will be extremely difficult to upgrade to a later, fully unlocked version.
