iJailBreakMobile Released!

OUCH :(
This is the reason why I am hesitant to upgrade..

I almost pull the trigger and then a small voice reminds me that nothing is wrong with my 1.1.1 phone and there isn't THAT much worth upgrading to in 1.1.3..

Good luck with your 1.0.2 and then 1.1.1 upgrade..



man, that sucks too... :(
Did you try powering off your phone and then back on again?

When you say "3 minutes", is that after it has downloaded the ~150mb file from Apple? or while it is downloading?

Hope you both get your problems sorted.

3 minutes after starting the ijailbreak app on my iPhone...the download of the app went smoothly, however, all I got was that error "Permission Denied" after each line...
I restarted and now when I run the app all I get is: Last login: Jan29 10:56 on tty0#
The phone seems to work as before...it just won't do the jailbreak...
weird...
 
Well...ran the app again and got pretty much the same results...
lots of "no such file or directory" and "Permission denied" errors and the last line reads "var/root/media/1.1.3/upgrade.sh: line 48: /var/root/media/1.1.3/reboot: Permission denied#

WTF?:mad:

so what version of the software are you on now then?
has it messed up your phone?

can you just delete the installer file and leave it be? i mean.. stay on 1.1.1 jailbroken?

Still on 1.1.1 jailbroken, and everything works as it did before trying the ijailbreak mobile however, now when I go to uninstall in the installer, I do not see any of my installed apps...:eek:

Strange...otherwise everything including all of my 3rd party apps work just as before...
clearly the bugs are not out of this one yet...
 
Will JailBreak be needed after next month? I want to wait and see? If I can not use ssh in the next 60 days, I'll use use this hack stuff. I assume most of these programs that are available with JailBreak will be available when the SDK is out.
 
Glad you were successful, but ....

I, too, did everything the tutorial said - and ran into problems.

I did the suggested first step of letting iTunes upgrade my phone to standard 1.13 firmware (non jailbroken), so the baseband code would be upgraded. That part went fine (as you'd expect).

Then, I followed the steps to force iTunes to apply the older 1.11 firmware to the phone (I see where the instructions even tell you to apply it twice, which I assume is to ensure the whole thing is really written correctly over the top of your newer firmware.). Again, that went just as the instructions stated.

I went through all the steps to create new Safari bookmarks to prefs: and to the jailbreakme web page, etc. etc. But then, jailbreakme.com never seemed to work. My phone sat there for a good 10-15 minutes with a blank screen and never rebooted, once I told the site to install/run the app to crack it. I tried forcing a reboot and tried running jailbreakme on it a second time. Same result.

After that, my phone was in a totally screwed-up state, and I had to force it into recovery mode, and go back to the 1.13 firmware from iTunes to get it back to working condition.

So right now, I"m not too inclined to mess with it again. I can't be without a working phone if it gets bricked -- and the monkey-business needed to get to jailbreakme.com bothers me. When I first jailbroke 1.11, it was a much more straightforward (if complex) process, doing it all from SSH terminal prompt commands. But that's no option when you already have 1.13 baseband code in the phone, and rolling back a 1.11 firmware over it results in a barely functional phone.....

I did Dev team update (tutorial on modmyifone.com) and work perfectly for me. Everything working, including Google Maps Locate Me and Installer.

Just pay attention to every detail they say and read the whole foruns, and be patient. I even did twice and both were successful! People complaining is because they don't read and do stuff quickly.

For me it is totally worth it, now I have my 1.1.3 unlock iphone with edit homescreen, tons of 3rd party apps and a pretty good pseudo GPS (the circle pointed exactly to my house!).

No complains, 100% awesome, thanks again dev team.

This same EXACT thing happened to me, but I think I'm going to try it again, starting fresh from 1.1.3.

I didn't realise there were so many problems :(

So, for that reason (true dragons den style), I'm out :)

From what i can see, the problems outweight the advantages and I'm out too!
 
Anyone have any ideas on why this won't work on my 1.1.1 jailbroken phone?
I've had the phone since early October (it is a week 40 AT&T activated phone) and jailbroke it immediately with no problems...did not do the 1.1.2 upgrade or the 1.1.3...
After downloading the proper 1.1.1 program from installer I saw the iJailbreak icon on my spring board and proceeded to open it...
I then saw lots of command line text containing mostly "file does not exist", "file not found" and Permission denied" errors until the very last line said "1.1.3 reboot Permission Denied" with the keyboard open on the lower half of the display...
Upon closing the program I restarted the phone and again opened the iJailbreak program. This time it read only "Last login: Tue Jan 29 13:10:02 on ttyp0

:confused:
Any ideas as to wtf is going on? I did recently upgrade to the latest version of installer and BSD 2.0 if that is any help...
:eek:
 
can't even get on the webpage

Arix,
I have been trying all afternoon to get on http://ijailbreak.com on my Mac, on my touch, and on a PC. I have a jailbroken 1.1.1 can't get to 1.1.2 due to itunes 7.6 and was hoping your solution would work for me.
I had it jailbroken before but couldn't get summerboard to load from installer.app because it did not allow due to 1.1.3

So whats the secret to getting this done?

thanks

TJ

can someone tell me what i have to add in sources
what is the link
Click to expand...

I believe the source is "http://ijailbreak.com/repo.plist"

As an update to my story, I decided to simply restore back to 1.0.2, clean it up, and go back to 1.1.1. I did so and to my surprise, was already unlocked. It seems that the installer to iJailbreak doesn't touch the baseband and fortunately makes for an easy revert back to your original firmware. Regardless, I had to jailbreak it again (which is easy). If Arix has an idea as to what went wrong, I would gladly appreciate it, but unless he updates with some good info, I'm afraid I am going to have to tell people to stay away from this if you're using an unlocked 1.1.1 iPhone.

I have been trying the ijailbreak.com domain and that link specifically in my ipodtouch and nothing works. I can not get any response at all!!
I have spent hours trying to connect to http://ijailbreak.com/repo.plist and not even once!
 
Good deal

Arix,
Glad to see you were able to get the website back up and running. Apparently no one imagined that your solution would be so popular. Well I got on last night, and did the upgrade, and KUDOS to Arix ( and those who helped get it up and out there!!)

I did want to add feedback. I noticed it took several attempts of restart to get the POD to actually start playing music with sound.
Also I noticed that trying to load up summerboard will not work because of update 1.1.3.

Is there a solution in the works to get summerboard 1.1.3 compatible?
Love the new apps, and the updater, and especially the updater cleanup.
 
Um, why is anyone even bothering? Is there really any reason to be risking the security of your devices (again) on a totally experimental hack when we're days of away from the first legitimate apps? and perhaps only a couple weeks from a plethora of such apps?

This is why dork bordem is bad.
 
Well, after manually upgrading to 1.1.2, then jailbreaking again I was finally able to use the jailbreak mobile to get me to the 1.1.3 jailbreak. It worked quickly and flawlessly and I now have a 1.1.3 jailbroken iPhone. Thank you Arix!
Couldnot get my 1.1.1 jailbroken phone to work with the mobile jailbreak however. It couldn't find the proper files.

hey Ronnoco

I have the same trouble as you did, can you plz tell in details how you fixed it? I find all this very confusing...

my iphone is 1.1.1 otb. edit
 
I had some issues moving from 1.1.1 straight to 1.1.3 as well. I had to downgrade back to 1.1.1, then move to 1.1.2, then re-unlock, and now i'm moving back to 1.1.3 w/ the mobile jailbreak install.

Originally, I had a fine and dandy 1.1.3 install, but some things just didn't work right - Ringtones, for example, made no noise! And my alarm would vibrate, but not make noise. I thought I had messed up the iPhone hardware, but after downgrading back to 1.1.1, all was restored.

From what I understand, moving straight from 1.1.1 uses the "Nate True" method whereas moving from 1.1.2 uses the "iPhone Dev Team" method. For me, at least, the Nate True method was very buggy - this install that i'm doing right now uses Arix's mobile jailbreak and since i'm on 1.1.2, it will use the iPhone Dev Team method. I'll report back in a few minutes as to whether or not my problems are now gone.

Just wanted to chime in...

I had an unlocked 1.1.2 iPhone w/ no problems.

I just upgraded to 1.1.3 using the mobile jailbreak method in this thread. Everything works great, and there are no ringtone problems!
 
I was trying to do this and some how was at it for at least 3 hours. Only to go back to the restore to 1.1.3.
Blah!

Can you please provide detailed info on the steps you took to achieve your 1.1.3 unlocked phone.

Thanks spaceballl, everything worked fine. I ended up following the guides over at modmyifone.com. Went from an unlocked 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 (unlocked at that point) and then upgraded 1.1.3 following their guides. Successful 1.1.3 unlocked iPhone.

Thanks for the pointers.
