Last week the iPhone Dev Team <a href="http://www.iphonealley.com/news/official-dev-team-1-1-3-jailbreak-released" target="_blank">released their official v1.1.3 iPhone jailbreak</a> to the public. It wasn't easy and involved a bit of command-line foolery, but it worked. Thankfully for us mortals, an Installer package was recently released that takes care of all the boring command line, SSH, and FTP lameness. Simply open Installer.app on your v1.1.2 jailbroken iPhone and select "Official 1.1.3 Upgrader" from the "System" category. Once you have the app, you'll be asked a couple questions and then upgraded to 1.1.3.<!--break-->
Before starting the jailbreak, it's a good idea to plug in your iPhone and set it to not go to sleep. You can do this by going into "Settings" from the home screen, selecting "General", then "Auto-Lock", and choosing "Never". We also recommend choosing to do a full restore rather than an update when the jailbreak application asks. You'll need to be connected via Wi-Fi as the app downloads the entire 1.1.3 software update from Apple's servers. It should take about an hour to complete the process.
If your iPhone is on an older software version, you'll need to upgrade to 1.1.2 before proceeding. If you've already upgraded to 1.1.3, <a href="http://www.hackthatphone.com/113/iphone_downgrade_113.html" target="_blank">you must downgrade to 1.1.2</a> before running this application. AT&T account holders will need to downgrade from 1.1.3 as well to preserve full functionality.
We were quite happy to find that this jailbreak seemed to be much more reliable than previous versions and has fixed many issues we initially had. If you're having any problems on your jailbroken 1.1.3 iPhone, we recommend restoring and giving this one a try.
