iPhoneatlas.com has just announced a true jailbreak for iPhones with 1.1.3 firmware. This comes as a BIG relief for iPhone users with 1.1.3 preinstalled firmware and also for users who had upgraded thier phones to 1.1.3 by mistake. Here is how to do it.
The jailbreak method includes incomplete instructions, however. Here’s what you need to do to make it work:
Downgrade to iTunes 7.4.2. Download iTunes then download Pacifist. Use Pacifist to open the iTunes package then force an install and restart (this step may not be necessary).
Launch the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities)
Drag the file “ziphone” in the first file you downloaded onto the Terminal window then type “-j”; the command should look something like this: /Users/username/Downloads/ZiPhone\ Folder/ZiPhone/ziphone -j.
Downgrade to iTunes 7.4.2. Download iTunes 7.4.2) then install it and restart (this step may not be necessary).
Run “ziphone.exe” from the first file you downloaded.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note that some users are still experiencing problems jailbreaking with this package, and that this package was released without the consent of the iPhone dev team who has been refining the method and attempting to keep it secret until the release of Apple’s iPhone SDK.
This is news. Man, just a few days back Apple launched 1.1.3 firmware and within no time cre.ations.net has released an confirmed jailbreak to unlock for 1.1.3. Here is how its done. Thanks to cre.ations.net for this:
STATEMENT OF RISK
As all upgrades are risky, this one is doubly so. You may have to restore your phone using iTunes and start again if it fails. Make sure to back up first!
Let’s continue
This jailbreak, like the 1.1.2 jailbreak, comes as an upgrade. This means you need to have a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone already, before you can begin.
Update - unlocked phones appear to remain unlocked and work properly after the update, according to scattered reports.
MAC VERSION - Download the 1.1.3 package maker and open it, then run Run_This. Read carefully, press Enter when necessary, and the image will be uploaded to your phone.
Here’s how you do it:
- Start with a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone with Installer.app installed.
- Plug in your phone via USB to your computer.
- Download, extract, and run iBrickr Special 1.1.3 jailbreak edition (ibrickr.exe in the archive).
- iBrickr will determine what firmware you are running on your phone and make sure you can run the update.
- iBrickr will then guide you through the process of obtaining and modifying the 1.1.3 firmware (make sure to read everything thoroughly).
- iBrickr will upload the new firmware image to your phone. Note that this only puts the file on your phone and does not modify it at all, yet.
- When iBrickr finishes (should take about 10 minutes), it will tell you to go to Installer and install the “1.1.3 soft upgrade” package. Do that.
- When the installer finishes (this should take another 10-15 minutes), your phone should reboot with a fresh activated 1.1.3 firmware.
Seems like we should be soon upgrading our jailbroken 1.1.1 iPhones to 1.1.3 firmware through a software-based method. iPhoneatlas.com has reported this in their blog this morning. Here are the details: We’ve received word that the a software-based jailbreak method for iPhone software/firmware 1.1.3 (enabling the installation of unofficial third-party applications) could be released as early as tonight or tomorrow. We previously reported on the existence of a hardware-based method and two software-based methods, one more straightforward than the other.
iPhone Atlas has now learned that one closely guarded, software-based jailbreak method will be reserved for release after Apple ships the official iPhone SDK, which the company is due to discuss (but not necessarily ship) sometime in February. The other method will be released much sooner. Both methods are described as “tedious,” but not significantly more so than the iPhone 1.1.2 jailbreak. Like previous methods, the 1.1.3 jailbreak will consist of a series of scripts and require some level of user interaction.
It has also been revealed that the iPhone toolchain (used to create unofficial native applications) will be updated for compliance with software/firmware 1.1.3. As such, applications re-compiled with the new toolchain will work properly under the new iteration.
This seems to be the news of the day… Lonman06 reported in his website that Firmware 1.1.3 has been successfully jailbroken and provides a video to prove this. Scroll down to view the video.
Here is what he had to say - I was excited and just wanted to announce this to you all. 1.1.3 has been successfully Jailbroken!. But now to the bad news…you still have to wait for it. The Jailbreak for 1.1.3 is not going to be released until Apple releases the Software Developers Kit (SDK) sometime in February. I’m not exactly sure why they are waiting to release the jailbreak. The only thing that comes to my mind is that they are doing this so Apple can’t patch the 1.1.3 Jailbreak when SDK is released.
iPhone 3G & 2.0 firmware has been successfully unlockedUpdate 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares. Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it. Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool. . [know more about iPhoneDevTeam... click here]
