THE JAILBREAK PROGRAM FROM CONCEITED SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED
I know that this is repetitive but many posts here are giving the wrong advice.
The jailbreak program has been updated and the guide for both windows and mac users is to follow:
These directions are for the updated Conceited Software Jailbreak Package. (iNdependence is no longer needed)
First, download the Conceited Software Jailbreak program here: http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/site/112jb.html
Then download the 1.1.2 file http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1385&act=down
And finally download the 1.1.1 restore file here: http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1355
Updates:
- Activation/YouTube for iPhones
- Added an automatic fix for SpringBoard crash problem on touches
- PPC support
- Some improvements to crossplatform compatibility
Step 1: Downgrade to 1.1.1 (if required)
*** NOTE: This guide does not guarantee it will work 100%. Also errors 1015 is expected at
the end of the process. Continue reading to understand. ***
1. Download the 1.1.1 ipsw firmware file from the link above. If the downloaded file has the extension
".zip", please remove it and modify it to end up with a filename ending in _Restore.ipsw
2. Reboot your iPhone holding the top (power) and home buttons BUT release the top button 10
seconds into it (right after the screen goes dark) and continue to hold the home button until
iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode. The iPhone screen will appear to be off, but start
iTunes if not started yet .
3. Restore your iPhone by pressing and holding the ‘Shift’ key on windows or ‘option’ key on Mac,
then click ‘restore’ to select the 1.1.1 firmware file you downloaded earlier. The restore should
go through and errors at the end with error 1015. However you will notice that the iphone is in
DFU mode with the connect to itunes screen from 1.1.1.
4. In order to kick the phone out of that mode, start TouchFree by double-clicking "windows.bat"
on Windows or "jailbreak.jar" in OS X, then click the "Boot from Recovery" button.
