1.1.3 iPhone jailbreak goes LIVE

A splinter dev team has just released its 1.1.3 jailbreak. This jailbreak, as discussed in our earlier post provides a "soft upgrade" path for jailbroken 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 users. (See that post for many of the technical details.) For right now, this jailbreak is limited to Windows users only, with a Mac release expected shortly. This does not jailbreak the iPod touch--iPhone only for now.

A special edition of Nate True's iBrickr software will prepare the image used for the update and a second installer portion will flash the phone. Smxy repository maintainer, Shaun Erickson has packed up this second portion of the jailbreak, which will be available via Installer.app.

iPhone hacker NerveGas raised concerns as to whether this release would illegally distribute Apple software. Nate assures me that he merely uses a diff (differences) file between the 1.1.3 firmware as provided and the jailbroken 1.1.3 firmware. NerveGas asked me to mention that this release is not canon and distributed against his wishes and against the wishes of some of the dev/elite team. From what I understand, the dev team was behind this release until shortly before Nate took it live. NerveGas's copyright concerns divided the team, splitting opinions on whether it should go live just at the wire.

Huge kudos for this jailbreak go primarily to the awesome iPhone hackers "planetbeing" and ~~_Fred~~ bgm, who were the first to jailbreak. Other amazing developers include Zibri, netkas, NerveGas, asap18, bgm, Bugout, bushing, chris_, dinopio, drudge, gray, MuscleNerd, natetrue, pr3d4t0r, roxfan, Turbo, Zf[strike], np101137, pumpkin, and kroo, along with many contributors who wish to remain anonymous.

Update: How to fix GoogleMaps Locations--this fix only works for fully legal customers (at&t, orange, o2) (Thanks Netkas!)

Update: We're still fairly unsure as to what exactly is in the jailbreak software. Nate had told me the only possible infringement would be the difference file between the 1.1.3 dmg and the jailbroken dmg but I'm now told by others (thanks kroo!) that it includes Apple's iTunesMobileDevice.dll. Engadget's on-staff legal guru Nilay Patel says that you cannot include Apple's code in another release, whether or not Apple posts the code online for free, adding that there's probably a license agreement somewhere that prevents modification.

Update: The other "splinter" jailbreak is now available (1/26/08) here and 13-year-old AriX's jailbreak is here.

If you have a I PHONE brand new with the firmware 1.1.3 here is the jailbrake. You can unlock it and use it with any brand AT&T or T-mobile. Is very simple to crack it and fast. Click this link and download the file.

For those of you experiencing the same problem with the ringtones not working as well as the e-mail issue (I believe it has to do with not being able to save passwords), add http://sleepers.net/iphonerepo to your installer sources and install the applications under the Tweaks 1.1.3 category.

After several hours and reinstalling 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 SEVERAL times, I was able to end up with a jailbroken 1.1.3. Except I hear no ringer when I get a call!!! I have tried changing ringtone, normal, silent and vibrate modes, etc., to no avail. Anybody else experience the same?

I have a jailbroken 1.1.1 and jailbreaking 1.1.3 requires that you have a jailbroken 1.1.2. Piece of cake, you may think. Upgrade and jailbreak 1.1.2 and then apply 1.1.3. Well, all 1.1.2 jailbreak instructions I've found require that you upgrade to 1.1.2 through iTunes. However, iTunes no longer shows 1.1.2 as the firmware version, but 1.1.3. What can I do?

Well let me add something about the ijailbreak. I first installed it and all of the apps were on there already. This I did not like. Also when I would hook up to iTunes I was prompted to purchase the apps. I would much rather purchase the apps!!
I did some research and it seems that the ijailbreak uses Nate's repository and his method.
It seems that this method breaks DRM, and thatâ€™s where the whole app issue came from to being with.
I decided to restore and use the Dev Team's method. By using the Dev Team method, DRM is not broken. That of course means that besides apps working and synching, you can also listen to music you bought off of the iTunes store.

I have since purchased the apps and everything works beautifully.
