It's here! The Dev Team released their official jailbreak for iPhones running version 1.1.3 this morning. It's very similar to the jailbreak released earlier this week, only without the suckiness of not working. The only difference (at least on the user's end) is that it requires your phone to be at v1.1.2. iPhones on version 1.1.1 will need to upgrade to v1.1.2, jailbreak, and then install the "BSD Subsystem" package in order for this method to work. This is because the jailbreak occurs on the iPhone itself and is therefore platform independent.

This jailbreak, like the one before it, does not upgrade the phone's baseband which, in our experience, breaks things like "locate me" functionality in Maps. If you have a valid AT&T account, it may be a good idea to upgrade to 1.1.3 and downgrade to a jailbroken version of 1.1.2 before running this update. For those of you who use an unlocked iPhone, you'll want to keep away from v1.1.3 as it will re-lock your phone.

We haven't tried this one yet and the dev team says there's a problem with address book functionality so it might be smart to wait a couple of hours before going at it. We've heard that the address book problem can be resolved by removing the /var/root/Library/AddressBook folder and re-syncing, although I wouldn't try it unless you've backed up first. A new version of the jailbreak has been posted and links have been updated. Re-download if you grabbed the first version.

More to come!

Update [3:10 PM CST]:
We've tried it and it definitely works. It certainly requires some patience, but from our end there seem to be very few issues. Our pal Mark has written up a guide over at Hack That Phone which is likely the best bet for most people.

Let us know how it goes!

I'm sorry, folks - but can we get some more information here?

Is this for PPC Macs or Intel Macs or Windows only or what? How the heck do you get started after you dl the product.

The "Read Me" file has a bunch of nonsensical instructions:


1. Copy this entire distribution to / on your iPhone/iTouch

So you will have /update-prebinding-path.txt and so on

# scp -r ./* root@iphone:/

2. Run the install.sh script:

# sh install.sh

WTF does this mean? Copy it where? What the hell, people?

[RickyGervais]

You need to copy everything in that folder into your home folder, basically the first screen when you log into your phone.

then on mac, load up terminal and ssh into your phone with
ssh root@ipaddy

then enter your password

then hit cd /

and sh install.sh

When will we finally see an unlock for the new bootloader?

First, go to http://hackthatphone.com and follow the instructions. This will make it all very clear.

But, to answer your questions:
You download the jailbreak file. Then you look at the read me. Then you get confused, like I did.

Simply: Have a 1.1.2 jailbroken phone. Be sure you have Installer.app on it. Make sure you install the BSD Subsystem.

Then, open Terminal.app on your mac (or you could use Fugu, etc) and install the files for the upgrade. THIS is where the scp command comes in. Put the jailbreak 1.1.3 folder on your desktop. Then in the Terminal type cd Desktop/jailbreak and then hit Tab. It will autofill the name of the directory. Then hit return.

THen do the scp transfer. Then in terminal.app, type
ssh root@(the ipaddress of your iphone) and return. If it asks you any questions, answer yes. THen the password (should be alpine unless you changed it).

Then type cd /
then type sh install.sh

Then sit back and wait.

BUT, see the hackthatphone tutorial, and you will be all set.

Good luck.

Working great for me.

This is not quite accurate. You must copy the contents of the jailbreak to "/" literally the root of the iPhone. The command would look like this:

scp jailbreak-1.1.3/* root@iphone:/

then ssh into the iphone and run:

cd /
sh install.sh

it's really not hard if you just take the directions literally... and learn a little bit of coding language.

so couple questions...

1.) if you're on 1.1.3 are you still screwed for now (3.9 bl)?
2.) is google's locate function the only thing that doesn't work because you're not upgrading the baseband. meaning everything else works like shaky reordering and webclips?

aaahhh!!!
k so i got to the last step where it shows this in the directions:
http://www.hackthatphone.com/gif2/113-45.gif

but instead of it saying that,
mine said this:
** The volume LittleBear4A93.UserBundle appears to be OK.
mkdir: /private/var/db/timezone: File exists
mv: rename /private/var/root/Library/Keychains to /private/var/Keychains/Keychains: Not a directory
mv: rename /private/var/root/Media to /private/var/mobile/Media/Media: Invalid argument

chown: cannot access `/private/tmp/MediaCache': No such file or directory
mkdir: /private/var/logs/Baseband: File exists



well i restarted my phone and it looked like all was well.
it was 1.1.3 with installer.
well then itunes opened up and saying it couldnt read the iphone contents.
i restarted my phone again and had it unplugged from the computer.

when the phone turns on,
its in recovery mode.
help??

Gor it working, and it is working fairly well, but...


The installer ran 100% from the app installer and got it all working.

Installed iBlackJack, iSolitaire, ContraSence. and Light. So far so good, but now..... Everything else I attempt to install crashes the installer app. Also ssh is installed and working, but I can not login. Terminal will not install, so can not use that.

Any one else run into this, or know a fix??

Thanks

Hi Im from Mexico and I have a doubt as I dont know very much about computers. I bought an iPhone on january 12th 2008 and it s supposed to be a 1.1.3 version, it says that it requiers to be at 1.1.2. You mean I have to downgrade from 1.1.3 to 1.1.2??? Can this new jailbreak do that?? Sorry if my question is stupid but I dont clearly understand that sentence on the news. Thanks for your support.

If the phone is a 1.1.3 (you check via Settings/General/About) then you can install the jailbreak. But you must downgrade to 1.1.2 first. The way you do this is not trivial. But, go to http://hackthatphone.com and follow the instructions. If it has the new modem software, you won't be able to unlock (to use on a Mexican carrier). However you can jailbreak (to use third party applications).

the installer has a jailbreak over the air on its recent files. I used it and jailbroke the 1.1.3 it worked fine but the apps that were installed before arent there anymore and iit wont let you re install them,

what are you talking about if its unlocked it will re-lock ur phone? no it wont. it doesnt touch the baseband so it doesnt upgrade it therefore still unlocked on 1.13 with 1.12 baseband

Can't you just use the 1.1.3 jailbreak DevTeam package that's in the installer?

oops you beat me to it. If you read the more info on that package it says you have to have the updated version of installer or else it won't work once you get to 1.1.3. That could be your problem. I'm running it now and i did install that latest version so i'll post when it's done.

good luck, i did that too... apparently i didnt upgrade installer and the bsd subsystem before i ran the dev team 1.1.3 update... so i couldn't install or update any of my 3rd party apps when i got into 1.1.3. had to downgrade to 1.1.2 (and to 1.1.1 to jailbreak) ... now i'm back to 1.1.2 (jailbroken WITH the latest installer and bsd subsystem) but i'm pretty hesitant to re-install the devteam 1.1.3 in case i have to go through that all over again. haha.

[icha]

I just completed all the steps to upgrading a jailbroken 1.1.1 firmware phone to 1.1.3.

After the Putty Fatal Error the phone never fully rebooted. My screen is locked on with the Apple logo stuck on the screen. It's sat there for 30 minutes now.

Resetting the phone hasn't solved anything.

iTunes doesn't detect the iphone either. Same goes for iBrickr.

What the heck did i do wrong?

Is it bricked? Or is there a way to go back?

ah there we go... all set on 1.1.3 now! yay. i took the scenic route though.

ADVICE: make SURE you upgrade your bsd subsystem and your version of Installer before you perform the 1.1.3 soft update!!

[eltripone123]

i updated the installed and the bsd files. But the installer worked fine but what iam saying is that the previous apps were gone but accorging to the installed they were still there.

How long did it take you to install using it from the installer.app? It's been over 30 minutes and it's still stating it's running the install script. My one concern is the error that it thinks I'm running out of disk space even though I have lots of storage space left.
