Definitive 1.1.3 Upgrade and Jailbreak Guide

[quixers]

Caller id / international prefixed numbers -> name still broken.

Need to update with that fix - its on hackintosh but its down at the mo..

 

[Sbrocket]

What is iJailbreakme and how would I go about using that and continuing with your guide? (Which is fantastic by the way, I think I speak for everyone when I say thanks for all the quick help and tips)

iJailbreak is another jailbreaking program, its already listed in the guide. However, you're better off waiting for me to update the guide for the official Dev Team jailbreak right now.

Does anyone know why my ringtones don't work? Nothing rings when someone calls me :\ help! please

update: no sound is being produced from the speaker, and ipod is not working....

Sbrocket: Good guide, more detailed than a very similar one I followed on modmyifone.

The last piece of the puzzle! Caller id fixing for international numbers:

------------
instructions
------------
- Use winSCP and login to your iphone
- Create a directory named "Support" in the /System/Library/Frameworks/AppSupport.framework/ directory
on your iPhone.
- Copy the "AppSupport" and "AppSupport.original" files from the zip file to
the /System/Library/Frameworks/AppSupport.framework/ directory on your iPhone.
- Copy the "PhoneNumber.dylib" and "PhoneNumberTemplates.txt" files from the zip file to
the /System/Library/Frameworks/AppSupport.framework/Support/ directory on your iPhone.
- Optimize the "PhoneNumberTemplates.txt" file on your iPhone by moving all templates for your country
to the top of the file and/or removing templates for countries that you don't need.
- Reboot iPhone.

Reports this works OTB for most people, but I had to change the uk entry in PhoneNumberTemplates.txt to this for it to work:
// United Kingdom [gb]
uk 44 00 0 ### #######

It originally had an incorrect identifier of gb at the start of the line.

Works a treat! Be good if you could update the wiki/post for others with this issue - think everyone will have it going by all the forums I've been looking at...

I just wanted to say a big THANKS to everyone here. I finally got my 1.1.3 jailbroken (1.02OTB). I had a tough time getting past the (1) error. Advice for everyone getting that, just keep rebooting it and be sure to let go of the wake/sleep button the minute the screen goes black and be sure to hold the Home button. Everything is working fine except my ringer. I installed Big Boss' fix but it still doesn't work. But I can live without it since I use vibrate almost all the time.

Oh and DRM music works too! Just bought a song on itunes via the iphone and it worked grand. iTunes previews are fine too..

Note: I have a legit o2 activated account, its possible all those who are having problems with itunes/drm-ed songs are those with non legit activated o2/att/.. sims

Lockdown didnt work

I downloaded the lockdown patch because i wasnt getting any cell signal and when i applied the lockdown patch and it locked my phone. what did i do wrong this is what my terminal window looked like:

Last login: Sun Jan 27 01:51:34 on ttys000

I'm guessing you didn't chmod the file on the iphone to 0777 / 0555 - both work ok, but 0777 is the safe bet.

I"m having the exact same problem. Everything installed without any problems.. but no sounds at all, either ringtones or system events.

Scratch this.. once I loaded stuff to the ipod, then my sounds started working.. sounds odd, but there it is..

I'm a happy camper now!!!!

 

[FLWebBear]

Y

Question, though. Whenever I was in iPhone 1.1.1 and jailbreaking it, I did have one problem--the 1.1.1 sw (with 1.1.3 baseband) thought I had an invalid SIM card (I am an "honest" full AT&T iPhone plan customer)--Did you guys get that too?

yes, I had the exact same message come up. It concerned me at first, but I pushed on and everything came out okay (well, except my ringtones and speaker)

 

[Sbrocket]

I've added a note to the guide, but DON'T USE IT RIGHT NOW. I'll be updating it for the official 1.1.3 jailbreak from the Dev Team just as I soon as I finish testing it on my phone.

Thanks.

 

[quixers]

Sbrocket: cool cheers. Would you let me know if the following works? (kinda like a checklist for you!

- Itunes previews
- Putting an international number in your phone book and calling your phone - does it get the name ok from the phonebook
- Turning the keylock on
- Edge/GPRS
- visual voicemail (been testing that by changing my greeting)
- Hybrid mode in gmaps
- Locate in gmaps

These are all the flaws of Nates JB - which I've fixed! Want to be sure I'm not going through a lot of hassle for the same outcome if you get me. Cheers!

So when will the office jailbreak be released?

So when will the office jailbreak be released?

Such a geek, I'm staying up late and making popcorn, awaiting it. This is gonna be great. I've had this 1.0.2 OTB phone for months and have killed at least a hundred hours trying unsuccesfully to jailbreak it dozens of times. I could go through the motions blindfolded. But I just KNOW this one's going to work! Baby needs a new pair of shoes! YEAH!

 

[quixers]

Well you'll need 1.1.2 on the phone to do it!

 

[guyver525]

my iphone edge wont work after i upgrade from 1.1.1 i need help thought it worked for a little while but now i cant download the edge fix, it says main script execution failed, i dont know what to do to get my edge back? help thanks

 

[MisterEd]

Hey, looks like an awesome guide, I just have a question though:

For all of us guys who have an OTB1.1.2 Jailbroken phone, and are just using an O2 PAYG Sim (not the iphone one), do we need to perform the upgrade to 1.1.3 first in order to upgrade the baseband? or is it ok to just do the jailbreak process straight off?
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to doing this?
I'm guessing I'm probably speaking for quite a few people who are also in the same situation as me.

Thanks
Ed

 

[ThunderSkunk]

Well you'll need 1.1.2 on the phone to do it!

Haha! I've established a healthy routine of trying like hell to jailbreak for about a week, giving up, then a couple weeks later, getting antsy and deciding I can't wait for the next update, assume I must have just missed something obvious, and kill another three evenings in a row trying numerous variations on the hacks again... then throw in the towel and wait for the next firmware, & subsequent jailbreak, hoping that the up & downgrade will knock something loose, and then, I repeat the whole vicious cycle all over again. I've decided it's good exercise for my blood pressure.

All I really need is disk access mode, (but the wireless sync sounds handy too).

Oh, & don't worry, I won't post "HELP ME!!!" messages demanding you all sort it out for me. If the dev-teams noodle doesn't stick, I'll simply put it up on ebay as a warranty-in-tact, un-hackable iphone, and buy a pre-jailbroken unit in its place. So much potential, this little device... For the money we pay for the device & service, it'd be great to be able to use it un-crippled.

Seconded

 

[quixers]

Just done the new official jailbreak and it worked well.

EDGE - check
hybrid - check
locate - check
visual voicemail - check
caller id/int prefix - check
itunes preview - check

All 'out of the box' so to speak - no faffing around with fixes for anything!

Really would recommend anyone who used nates to use the official one. How anyone can have any confidence in Nate's when they've had to patch/fix the hell out of it to get things working...

 

[Sbrocket]

The guide is now updated with instructions to use the official update from the iPhone Dev Team instead of NateTrue's premature release. If you already updated to NateTrue's jailbroken 1.1.3, please see the message in "BEFORE YOU START."

Sorry, it took so long - even Demis get tired of jailbreaking after about 8 hours.

Just a quick note: I preserved the lockdownd fix in "Post-jailbreaking" because, at least for me, the version of iPhone Dev Team's jailbreak that isn't supposed to mess with lockdownd didn't work for me right off the bat.

sbrocket you seem like the man with the knowledge here.

so ive been drasticly trying to get back to at least ipod touch functionality here but when ive put my iphone in proper 'black' restore mode it starts extracting and then preparing but roughly 30-60 seconds in i get a 1604 error in itunes it then dumps me out and its still in restore mode.

leaves me tottaly stuck. Ive tried putting everytype of firmware ever released on it even tried strocking it and telling it is beautiful.

im on a 1.1.2 otb week 45 o2 pay as you go sim on my macbook pro even with itunes 7.4.2 (4)

it was jailbroken but my installer ap broke so i tried to do a restore and it updated it to 1.1,3 because i wasnt paying attention.

one last question, i never had to unlock my iphone before because i was using an o2 sim will this mean im still able to use calls even thou its not an offical o2 iphone sim?

thanks.

 

[leader288]

hey sbrocket, does the guide allow the 1.1.3 otb to be sim unlock?

 

[quixers]

If it was already sim unlocked and you don't upgrade the baseband it will remain unlocked.

sbrocket: Good work! I'd recommend people starting with either 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 and that have apps installed that they remove them. The official jailbreak needs all the space it can get on root to do its magic.

E.g. Step 18.9 If you have any applications installed now is the time to uninstall them in the Installer. Leave only the BSD subsystem, installer and openssh.
