iPod touch Offical iPod touch Dev Team 1.1.3 Jailbreak

[hecks]

That would be nice, if you are actually using a jailbroken iPod. The "jailbreak" you are referring to is actually just a soft upgrade. But that is ok, you can refer to it as that if you want, but the jail isn't actually broken on your iPod. You just have SpringBoard overwritten. Which allows you to install 3rd party apps and such like a jailbreak, but it is not as efficient. I am just going by what the dev team says, and other knowledgeable iPod touch users. Enjoy your upgrade though for now. It is only a matter of time before a true jailbreak is released. According to rumors, the dev team has a second method to do a true jailbreak that will be released after the SDK. Let's hope they do.

Bitter.

I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from on this. Jalibreaking in the common sense of the term means gaining full read/write access from root, which is exactly what the official 1.1.3 jailbreak does. The devs also call it a jailbreak. Springboard isn't replaced during it, you need to patch it separately to get access to apps & wobbly.

Looks like a jailbreak, works like a jailbreak, is called a jailbreak ... so in what sense exactly do you think it's not a proper jailbreak?

I know exactly what you mean Slip, I always prefer to have the most recent firmware.

Great minds
Anyway, about moving the apps folder, the update of BossTool that appeared on Installer today (v0.35) now supports 1.1.3, and I've tried it so all's well.

I don't know about you guys, but I Jailbroke my iPod touch on Sunday, using the **unofficial** Jailbreak method. Have any of you gone back, restored, and used the **official** Jailbreak method? Is there really a difference?

Nope, but I am going to restore and go back to 1.1.2. There are too many things that aren't that good to be useful. Videos is one of them :/
Also it'll be nice to start from a clean slate

I'm on 1.1.2 again now. I may well give this New Official 1.1.3 Software Update a try though.
It will be the third time I have updated to 1.1.3, but I don't know whether to just stay on 1.1.2 and wait a month to get a proper Jailbreak for 1.1.3. Hmmm...

I jailbreaked mine with the official dev team 1.1.3 upgrader from the Installer. Than installed app pack. Working fine right now. I can't notice any bugs etc...

Looks good.
I'm just trying to boot mine out of recovery mode after the 1.1.2 update, taking forever :/

hmmm...

noobe here,

I have an itouch that has never been jailbroken at all..it's at 1.1.3 How would I go about jailbreaking it? Do I have to revert back to a previous version? If I do go back what do you lose? And exactly what are the benefits and draw backs of doing this? i'm just a little nervous about bricking out a 250.00 toy! I have hacked many phones but this costs alot more than the phones....

Thanks

I hate to sound like on of those obnoxious forum members who always say 'search' but these points have been talked about ad nauseam.
In short, you can't brick it, you have to restore which wipes everything on it and the main benefit is 3rd party apps of which there are hundreds.

i'm sure there a ton of threads about all this....however this one seems like a really good one so far.

i also have a new touch and straight away I bought the apps and upgraded...then I remembered about jailbreaking.

from the sounds of it, I think i'll wait for a bit. I never hacked jack shizz before.

Yeah, wait til the one released after the SDK, the current one's pretty poor, well for us iPod users anyway.
