Following the leaked 1.1.3 jailbreak there have been many problems, including some bricked phones. NerveGas, from the iPhone Dev Team, commented on the leak and stated an official jailbreak method would come soon. He states that the leaked version violates federal law by including files belonging to Apple. Along with a 1.1.3 jailbreak procedure NerveGas states a 'Mac-friendly tool' will be released.

The method the Dev Team was/is planning on releasing allows you to perform the jailbreak without violating federal law. You can expect a method, followed by a Mac-friendly tool, very soon.

I recommend those who have not yet attempted to upgrade to hold out as the current method is very risky. We will post the official method when it is released.

NerveGas adds that the Dev team had jail broken firmware version 1.1.3 within a day or two of the release though as noted before decided not to release the official method until the SDK so Apple could not destroy the method with their next update.

I don't Understand

What's the sense of holding back the solution until SDK? If the DEV Team can hack each release within days of getting their hands on it, then why play the waiting game? It's obvious the new SDK release is going to screw things up again for 3rd party apps.

If NT's botched release is any indication - one wonders if SDK is a smoke screen for a failure to develop a stable jailbreak?

Please don't get me wrong: I respect the DEV Team. They've collectively done a lot for the i-phone community and are wicked smart people.

Why?

Why are people criticizing these developers. If they don't want to release the jailbreak, let them do what they want to do. They are doing this free of charge. If you are so upset about it, figure it out yourself. I know these developers are not obligated to help the iPhone community, nor do they have to release their findings as soon as they are created. We should feel privileged that these guys/gals help us with this. Thanks to all that make the jailbreaking process available.

Ok, we will have to wait, but one thing, the 1.1.3 firmware already allows new software developed with the SDK, I don't think Apple is going to free another firmware...

All of the The Dev team are GODS of the iPhone!

Cheers.

that's retarded. if anything the SDK should help them build apps that can be installable without jailbreaking. to me if they're to withold the jailbreak till SDK comes out, their jailbreak will be unnecessary anyways.
