So who wants to try to jailbreak a 1.1.1 iPhone first?

It's been a couple of days since the iPhone Dev Team announced that they had a successful jailbreak, but their method was not released to anyone outside of the team until just recently. This afternoon we received an email from an anonymous source detailing rough jailbreak instructions. After following the instructions myself, I have written a substantially more refined guide for jailbreaking and installing AppTapp on a 1.1.1 iPhone. Guide after the jump!


Before we begin, I'd like to say that this method is not refined yet. Read the entire guide over. If anything is confusing or unclear, don't do it. This guide is not meant for novice users. An easier solution will come soon from the dev team.

v1.0.2 and holding for Apptapp.

As posed on another thread...do you think Apple is tracking how many of us have upgraded firmware? Anybody know?

I'm betting they do...
 
I have a quick question about upgrading a hacked 1.0.2 phone. It seems that I can skip straight to step 3.2 on the iphonealley instructions. Is there any action I need to take before that? Should I delete the 3d party apps I currently have installed? I'll definitely do a sync beforehand to back up everything, but it seems I don't need to do a restore or anything like that, right?
 
I have yet to update to 1.1.1, when you sucessfully have upgraded, and installed apptapp, did you notice an increase in call, and alert volume?

Definitely louder (music on max volume now has major clipping problems!) but still not loud enough for speakerphone use in the car on a freeway.

Got it right after i posted that lol..... moving right along.... :)

Trip1Prepz wont load into installer.app tho...... thoughts

You don't need Trip1Prepz. That is for the symlink exploit that allows read/write access to the filesystem once you upgrade from 1.0.2 to 1.1.1, but since 1.1.1 can now be jailbroken, you don't need it. Just install Trip1PogoStick and you're good to go.

So install pogostick from 1.0.2 and then upgrade to 1.1.1? or is there a jailbreak GUI to use now.....

So which method did you use for accomplishing this? Thanks
 
I performed this two days ago. It's been great. I love the new page based springboard (as opposed to the vertical scrolling summerboard hack of 1.0.x). It makes it much faster to hit the icons exactly where you'll expect them to be.

I'm working on editing my plist (using OS X's plist editor) to display the icons in the order that suits me. It's a bit less convenient having to manually copy in the strings, but it should be easy to write a program to rearrange them (it's simple stuff) for the new springboard.

I've also got a new version of iSplit in the works. So far it's mostly bug fixes, but I think I'm not with those and looking at how to implement the features people have requested. I've already added the ability to have the data not be erased when you leave the program (which is convenient if your freind isn't going to pay you the money until later).

Ohh ... there's no GUI jailbreak method for 1.1.1 yet. I used iPHUC and some command line to put Installer.app on my 1.1.1 phone.

Yeah, learning to use command lines is too useful to hold back. With as many guides as there are on the internet, I'd recommend most people with any tech savy press forward and at least try to figure it out. If something goes wrong, there's always the restore option in iTunes (well, almost always).
 
I tried it last night and came close to bricking my iPhone. The second time you are supposed to run AppTapp, it still failed.

I was getting the activation screen on the iPhone and it wasn't showing up in iTunes. I had to put it into restore mode to have it show up in iTunes. I might try it again today. (Now that I know what to do if it doesn't show up in iTunes again)

It's pretty straight forward. Go to website, watch Safari crash. Run a few commands in iPHUC (copy and paste) and then boom, you're jailbreaked running AppTapp...

well, I didnt like how not much was compatible with 1.1.1 so i decided to roll back to 1.0.2 after a couple hours of Jailbroken 1.1.1- I think i'm gonna hold off for a while

but yes, the process was pretty simple after I read the whole thing through before starting fresh :)

Cheers
