Can't wait to update your iPhone but need your third party apps to be there when you're done? You're in luck! We've managed to adapt our old 1.1.1 jailbreak instructions to 1.1.2. In addition, we've managed to clean up quite a few steps; it's much simpler. While this isn't The Dev Team's official method, it will work. Keep in mind that theirs will likely be much prettier. Hit the jump for instructions!

Requirements for this guide:

• Intel Mac
  
• Tiger, although Leopard may work as well
  
• Moderate Terminal comfort
  
• iPhone running version 1.1.1. If you need to downgrade, check out the method on Hackint0sh
  
• No Installer packages installed. If you've installed any packages, remove them or remove the Installer directory from /var/root/Library (thanks billymayes). If you have packages installed before updating, Installer will think you have them after the update and cause problems.
  

Keep this in mind: Currently scrolling is not turned on by default in 1.1.2. To scroll your list of applications, install SummerBoard. This guide is only for those who are impatient. Something prettier and simpler is on its way.

1. Sync and pray
   
   
   
   1. Sync your iPhone with iTunes. You may lose all of your information if something goes wrong, so it's a good idea to back up.
      
   
   
2. Create Symlink
   
   
   
   1. Visit Jailbreakme.com and jailbreak your iPhone. When it's finished, you should have Installer.app on your home screen. If you already have Installer, you don't need to do this step.
      
   2. Plug iPhone in and open iTunes. Make sure that you have the "Update" button available in iTunes before proceeding.
      
   3. Open up Installer, navigate to the "Tweaks (1.1.1)" category, and install "OktoPrep".
      
   
   
3. Upgrade to v1.1.2
   
   
   
   1. Download the 1.1.2 Software update/restore package from Apple. If Safari unzips the file, grab the original from your trash and remove the .zip extension so that it reads iPhone1,1_1.1.2_3B48b_Restore.ipsw
      
   2. In iTunes, hold option and click "Upgrade". At the prompt, select the iPhone1,1_1.1.2_3B48b_Restore.ipsw file.
      
   3. Once upgraded to 1.1.2, close iTunes.
      
   
   
4. Jailbreak
   
   
   
   1. Download iPHUC and friends from Rapidshare
      
   2. Extract the contents so that iphuc, fstab, and iphonefs are all on the Desktop
      
   3. If you don't have libreadline, download it and extract the zip to your Macintosh HD
      
   4. Open Terminal.app located in Applications>Utilities
      
   5. Type cd ~/Desktop and hit return
      
   6. Type ./iphuc and hit return
      
   7. Type getfile disk iphonefs/disk.dmg 314572800 and hit return. This will take about five minutes so grab something to drink in the meantime. Once complete, there will be a file named "disk.dmg" in your "iphonefs" folder.
      
   8. Double click the file to mount it.
      
   9. Open the newly mounted Oktoberfest3B48b.UserBundle drive and open the "etc" folder. Replace the fstab file inside the "etc" folder with the supplied fstab file.
      
   10. Download AppTapp Installer from Nullriver and place it on your desktop.
       
   11. Control click "AppTapp Installer" and click "Show Package Contents". Navigate to Contents>Resources. Copy Installer.app from the "Resources" folder over into the "Applications" folder inside Oktoberfest3B48b.UserBundle. Do the same for libarmfp.dylib, placing it inside usr>lib instead of Applications.
       
   12. Unmount the image and feel free to close any open Finder windows.
       
   13. Back in Terminal, assuming that you've kept iPHUC up and running, type putfile iphonefs/disk.dmg disk and hit return. This will take another minute or so. When it's finished, reboot the iPhone and close Terminal. You're jailbroken!
       
   14. After the phone reboots, activate with iTunes and uninstall "OktoPrep" using Installer.
       
   
   

That's it! If everything went well, you should be enjoying a freshly updated and jailbroken iPhone. If we missed anything, let us know in the comments.

Enjoy!

Don't think it works with leopard....
(iPHUC) /: getfile disk/ iphonefs/disk 314572800
getfile: Failed to open remote file: 1
(iPHUC) /:

Im getting ths error whenever I try to the getfile command..

Fixed, needed to remove the / from disk/

Type getfile disk iphonefs/disk 314572800 and hit return

In the process now from Leopard. That little hangup was driving me crazy for a minute! =)

I run getfile and a filed named 'disk' does end up in the iphonefs directory on my desktop....after waiting for 20 minutes or so the 'disk' file still shows a size of 0 KB. I added .dmg extension and it errors out trying to mount it.

Anyone else?

This is under Mac OS 10.5 BTW...

Nathan

Any way we can do this on Windows right now? I understand what needs to be done, just don't know where to get the tools for Windows.

Got thru everything just fine as far as completing all the steps outlined. BUT installer.app that is reinstalled is the older version 2.6 and it will not upgrade itself to version 3 installer. It shows I still have all my 3rd party apps installed but none of them show up. Can't uninstall/reinstall Summerboard as it errors out also.

These steps "work" as far as ending up in 1.1.2 fine and having an installer icon on the homescreen but beyond that installer is useless.

Appears I'll need to restore and just wait for another method as of now I'll be at 1.1.2 to start with.

Oh well....hope it works okay for someone

[BillyMayes]

To get it working properly you need to remove the Installer directory in /var/root/Library

and what happens to a jailbreaked and anysim-applied iPhone after these steps? Does it still work with my SIM-card which is not AT&T????
It would go for it then...

Thanks for any reply

Tom

To get the final iphuc step to work in 10.5 I had to remove the trailing /

putfile iphonefs/disk.dmg disk

So how do we do this on a PowerPC Mac?! Why aren't we making everything Universal, folks?! :-(

[RickyGervais]

Because the PowerPC is becoming quite retired now! Im in the same boat as you. It looks like whoever wrote the instructions is on an intel machine, im sure someone will translate it soon.

Ill probably wait until indepence make a 1 clicker because im not that desperate

every time I try I keep getting the same error everything is connected and works fine then i try to getfile and I get this:

(iPHUC) /: getfile disk iphonefs/disk 314572800
getfile: Failed to open remote file: 8
(iPHUC) /:

any suggestions/help would be appreciated for us that get these messages please reply.

If you use a G5 or PPC mac, then find the PPC version of the iPhuc and this works!!!

Same here, on a MBP running 10.5. What to do?

So it appears that Jeronimo also has the same problem as me.

I have tried both on an intel iMac and MacBook Pro with leopard installed, I have also tried using different versions of itunes and nothing works.

Please if anybody knows how to fix this problem please post a reply, this is the problem.

(iPHUC) /: getfile disk iphonefs/disk 314572800
getfile: Failed to open remote file: 8
(iPHUC) /:

Numerous people are having this problem with no solution, somebody who has better knowledge of the program please help us out.

Email is akavalo66@gmail.com if you have any solutions or post a reply.

Thanks.

Sorry if I appear dumb, but - how would I do that?

Thanks for your help!

He was referring to getting installer.app to work not getting the iphuc getfile to work. we need the getfile part to work.

[jeanmaikel]

u need to select the 300Mo partition

I tried this method, but I get the following area:

(iPHUC) /: setafc com.apple.afc2
setafc: AMDStartService Failed. Retrying once.
setafc: second attempt returned -402653150
iphuc: please relaunch and try again.
>> Nothing left to do. Exiting.
