So, assuming I already Jailbroken and have as "hacked" 1.1.1, how do I go about upgrading to 1.1.2 and still get access to all my cool utilities?

The only reason I am considering 1.1.2 is for the improved battery life (or so I have been told).

Really, I dont have any other compelling reason to upgrade to 1.1.2.

And assuming at some point I would like to upgrade to 1.1.3 or 1.2 (maybe Apple will finally add the ToDo Manager) will it work with the "jailbroken" phone or will it brick my phone?

Mike: You install OktoPrep, upgrade to 1.1.2 with iTunes (Upgrade, not Restore), download Jailbreak 1.1.2, and run jailbreak.jar.

Jailbreak.jar puts Installer on your 1.1.2 phone (and, optionally, OpenSSH as well). When you upgrade you'll lose any third-party apps you had on your iPhone under 1.1.1 so you'll have to use Installer to install them again. Not a big deal, in my opinion, but you might think differently.

An update is highly unlikely to brick your phone. This exploit isn't touching the modem firmware, where the problem resulted in the past. At worst, you could restore your phone to 1.1.2 in iTunes, which takes it back to ground zero without any hacks and brand new firmware. At that point you can update to the next version.

Of course, history has taught us that it's a really good idea to wait a few days before upgrading your iPhone to see how others have done.

Can someone help me. When I get to the Mobile Device part trying to get that to run doesn't work. I downloaded the Mobile Device Framework and first downloaded and installed ITunes 7.4.2 and when I test Independence I follow those instructions but I get an error that says Error copying MoibleDevice library into the Independence application bundle. When I choose the MobDev Tool i do what the instructions say there and first choose the zip framework on my desktop and then i choose Independence in my application folder. I'm stuck. Can someone help me or tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you very much

i tried this but im getting hung up on step 5 and 6. could you run me through it? When i try to select MobileDevice.framework it doesnt do anything. and when i try to open up INdependence it tells me that there is an error and tells me to relaunch the application. Please help i want my 3rd party apps back!!!!

I have the exact same problem as Thom when attempting to downgrade to firmware 1.1.1. I'm unable to select the MobileDevice even though I've downloaded the correct one for iTunes 7.4.2, and independence will not launch. I keep getting stuck on this particular step and eventually had to give up and restore my phone back to firmware 1.1.2.

Hi Mike B...sounds as if you and I are having the same problem. I hope someone can help.

Ok, make sure you copy the INdependence program to your hard drive. Then when you open iNdependence MobDev Tool file a window will ask you to locate the MobileDevice.framework file. Select that folder. Then a new window will open and ask you to select the INdependence program you copied to your hard drive.
Select it and MobileDevice.framework file will be connected to the INdependence program for the update.
Hope this helps.

Kyle thank you for the information but I get an error that says Error copying MoibleDevice library into the Independence application bundle when I choose the independence program. That is where I'm getting stuck. My Mobiledevice framework file is on the desktop and then I select the Indepence program that is in applications. Thanks for your help. I do appreciate it.

Well, after MULTIPLE attempts, I get "an unknown error occurred (1602)" trying to update to 1.1.2 (step #9). I'm never asked by iTunes if I'd like to activate the phone. The phone goes through the activation process but never actually makes it happen. I've followed all of the steps to the letter, but when ready to update to 1.1.2, I get that 1602 error code...

Can someone please post a "how to" video on youtube or something! I can't get this stupid process to work and its really frustrating. I know its my fault for installing the update, but I really want my apps. back! I liked them a lot! And I would really liked them back. If anyone decides to do youtube please send the link. Thanks guys for all the help

i did a few things backwards and upgraded without reading throughly how to jailbreak my phone after i updated it to 1.1.2, so i downgraded back to 1.1.1 and went to do a correct upgrade to 1.1.2 but now it says error, cant upgrade to version 1.1.2, and puts my phone in restore mode. i've had to restore my phone to 1.1.1 a few times but i cant get it to upgrade to 1.1.2 correctly. theres really nothing wrong with my current version but i would like to upgrade in the future if possible. what can i do? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Im having the same issue when I try to copy the mobiledevice file into the independence application bundle. What am I doing wrong?! Please help anyone

ok i installed oktoprep and then upgraded to 1.1.2 but when i try to run jailbreak.jar it says unrecoverable error? what can i do now?

mmmm when I try to upgrade to 1.1.2 it gives me an error.
I think it's 1602
I also can't seem to activate the phone.
any help would be appreciated
Thanks

got 1.1.1 with installer.app installed. i ran the OktoPrep app and updated the firmware to 1.1.2 w no problem. However, when i double click on Jailbreak.jar it just extracts within the folder and there's no "on screen instruction". i'm i doing something wrong? please help.

For those of you having trouble:

What version of OS X are you using?

And you're all attempting this on Intel Macs, right?

Hi Chris. I am using a Powerbook G4 OS 10.4.1. I have sucessfully installed the jailbreak until verision 1.1.2 came out. And that is when I can't get it done correctly. So after reading your entry I gues because I don't have an IntelMac I wont be able to do it at all. Sigh

Thom

I can not find where to download the iPhone1,1_1.1.1_3A109a_Restore.ipsw file on apple anywhere could someone please send me a link to it.

Thanks Nick
Bignicktizzle21@aol.com

Thanks for the info . Looks a little tricky for my concentration span . I'm holding out for the 1 touch idiot ! Damn why'd I do the 1.1.2. ?

Chris Been,

since so many people are having trouble is there anyway to post a video somewhere so that we can see how its done?

Being just a typical IPhone user and not understanding SSH and Terminal and Mobiledevice, to name a few, I was very frustrated with jailbreaking my Iphone and getting the Installer Apps on it, espeically after I updated to ITunes 1.1.2. I urge anyone having problems like I have to go to http://bitsplit-enterprises.com/ and use IFuntastic. Chris has worked on this very hard and is a very patient person. I followed the instructions and finally my phone is jailbroken. I have tried all others to no avail. This program is great and works. I urge you all to donate to him for all his hard work. Take it from someone that only knows how to use the basics of the IPhone...IT WORKS.

Thom

So after i have done this procedure can i update my itunes to the new version or do i have to keep 7.4.2?

Mike et al,

Sorry for the silent treatment. I'm on vacation so I'm not checking in very often. If anyone is still having problems, check the new version of Jailbreak 1.1.2, which Dan Moren references here. My guess is that those who were hitting the wall were doing so because they were attempting the jailbreak on a PPC Mac. The new version should help with that.

Naturally you should check the documentation that comes with Jailbreak 1.1.2 and follow its guidance.

any links on how to downgrade to fw 1.1.1 on windows users?

I am unable to select the mobiledevice framework file when I select the mobdev tool. An alert comes up tells me the choose the location of the version that was installed with IT 7.4.2. I hit OK I see my downloaded file, it is not compressed and everything I open in it comes back with the Error invalid path chosen. I tried to compress the folder to a zipped one an then it is not selectable in the window. Please help geniuses. Thanks

o.k bassiclly more or less i can do the step i get the same problem with indeedence but my big problem is unlock the sim
any help

Just wanted to say that it worked. I am running PC, but when I received the 1505 error used IBrick to reboot phone. Great step by step.
Running 1.1.2 and can install apps.

Thanks, I have been fighting for days, I think the biggest thing is to not use Itunes 7.5!

I have experienced the exact same issue with selecting the mobilesevice (which I obtained from the link included in Chris' post) as described by so many other posters when trying to downgrade from firmware 1.1.2 to 1.1.1. As a result, Independence will not launch correctly. I'm stuck at boring 1.1.2 FW. And yes, I have followed all the directions outlined above including dowgrading to iTunes to 7.4.2. Please help as I really miss my 3rd party apps (I inadvertently 'restored' to 1.1.2 rather than 'upgrade' after installing oktoprep on 1.1.1).

I just did this and everything worked perfectly, im running 1.1.2 with installer.app and have full service and everything... nice work!!!!

I get an error (1) rather then (1050).... everything else is working PLEASE HELP!!!

So i tried all the steps about and came to an 1602 error code when upgrading to 1.1.2
I tried over and over, no success.
I've decided to resort to 1.1.2 factory and restored though itunes evrything worked fine except the fact that i cant use my phone????
I have a At&t iphone and now I have a no service icon.
I thought if this didn't work(hack that is) you could just go back to factory settings and all would be great.
Well now i have no phone!!!!!!
Is there any help or suggestions to getting my phone back to working condition before the holiday??????
HELP

So now that i have installed everything, now for some reason a lot of my apps crash on me. any ideas for help? its not third party apps either, its apps like my safari and my ipod and things like this. how do i fix this problem? im getting pretty tired of safari shutting down on me!!!! HELP

I used conceited software's readme that is included and successfully did this on a PowerPC Powerbook with ease, My iphone now uses ATT and I never had to sign up for a new two years :)

iTunes 7.4.2 Here http://filehippo.com/download_itunes/?3201

thanx much ive been racking my brain trying to get this right your step by step helped a whole bunch once again thx

What they aren't tell you is that before you update to 1.1.2 you need to delete the installer app if not thejailbreak software will think you already installed it and won't jailbreak

Is this working on phone that comes with 1.1.2
factory default ( not accidentally upgrade from older version )
SOS

With a few bumps aside I made it through the install process and am now running 1.1.2 on the iPhone. What wasn't clear from above to me is can I now upgrade to the newer iTunes??

Thanks in advance.

Miles: Yes, you can use iTunes 7.5. iTunes will treat the phone just like any other 1.1.2 iPhone. However, if you RESTORE the phone, you'll lose the hack and will have to start over.

So, uh, well... don't.

Hey i am having problems with steps 5 and 6 also...how do i find the framework or make it or what ever i need to do for that step...it would be greatly appreciated if some one could explain :)

Does this work with the newest version of the boot loader?

Mo or MilesD do you know which boot loader your 1.1.2 version has?

Thanks :)

is it posible to jailbreak a new iphone that came with the 1.1.2 firmware??

Done and works great! THX!!!! (Done on PC with ibrickr)

yes you just need to downgrade to 1.1.1

For those having problems with iNdependance (like I did for step 5-6).
iNdependence will not work unless your have your correct Mobileframework going with itunes 7.4.2...just installing WILL NOT overwrite these files, and many (myself included) have problems selecting the files with the ind. mobile dev tool.

First, you MUST delete these files BEFORE installing iTunes 7.4.2
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
/Library/Receipts/AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg

or:
http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2007/10/03/iphone-or-ipod-touch-not-recognized-restartreinstall-apple-mobile-device-service/

After that, delete iTunes and install 7.4.2. It should now have the correct mobileframework associated with it allowing iNdependence to work without the issu of selecting the framework....

I was stuck on this forever, just thought you all should know..
Once you run the oktoprep, then update to 1.1.2, run the jailbreak.tar and click jailbreak + install SSH.

Hope helps.

I have had the same problem like some other people. When I try to update from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 I get a 1602 error. If anyone has had any success please let me know.

Anyone know why my email isnt working on jailbroken 1.1.2 now. Worked fine before. I use Yahoo and it seems to be routing thru apple now. it doesnt recognize my acct.

I was not able to download itunes 7.4.2 because it won't let me choose a place to download since I have already downloaded itunes 7.5. What should I do?

Hi,

I bought a recent iPhone from US (probably 1.1.2) and am trying to have it work on the Fido network in Canada.

With the ATT SIM not activated, the only thing I get is a screen with a iTunes logo asking me to «Insert an unlocked and valid SIM to activate the iPhone». My other option is to display the keypad to make an emergency call. I also tried it with my Fido SIM card and I get the same result.

What do I do from here ?

Thanks in advance.

Robert Lespérance

I can confirm that the above does work on a UK O2 1.1.2 iPhone. Some hairy moments, my fault for not reading down the list. TIP; remove the security from your router, this will help. Replace when finished. TIP 2; Read it all.

Sorry, forgot to say Thankyou Mr C Breen.
My hat off to you sir.

I need Help!!!!!

I've done everything step by step and I can't move from step 5. I double click on iNdependence MobDev Tool but it doesn't do anything besides jumping up and down on my dock. i click on it and it doesn't do anything "Application Not Responding". Can some one please help.....

ps.. i even did this

First, you MUST delete these files BEFORE installing iTunes 7.4.2
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
/Library/Receipts/AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg
and still nothing...

to answer your question Robert Lespérance Iphone anywhere is what you need this is what i am using for my fido

everything worked great, thanks! Words of advice, just be patient with all of this, it takes time

Can someone tell me how I can jailbreak AND upgrade to v 1.1.2 on the Ipod touch? email me the details please...
akbar.mumtaz@gmail.com

has any of this worked for ANYONE running windows?

Would I lose all my current text messages, pictures, and all other data that is not re-syncable back to the iPhone? I'd really hate to lose all the photos I have taken with my iPhone... I mean I won't lose them because they are already on my computer but I won't be able to put them back on my phone right?

I just got my iPhone with version 1.1.2. Just want to confirm that I will be able to unlock my phone. As most of the articles that I have been reading suggest that I needed to have 1.1.1 and upgrade.

Thank you I look forward to your responses.

For the person looking for the Canadian unlock...whats iPhone anywhere? Where can I get it. I just bought an iPhone and I can use everything (i.e itunes, surf the web) but it's not recognizing my rogers sim...any help would be highly appreciated.

M

these instructions are correct and work. i successfully did it last nite. the only thing missing on this and EVERY other set of instructions i've seen is:after you get the 1015 error in iTunes (step 4), ***YOU WILL BE STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE UNLESS YOU 1ST QUIT ITUNES and then OPEN INDEPENDENCE*** which will get you out of recovery mode and on to the ACTIVATION which is where everything else picks up

Hi, my frnd brought brand new IPhone from USA. Which came with 1.1.2 version.
could someone suggest me whether it is possible to Unlock Iphone which came with 1.1.2
If not atleast tell me how can i activate my IPhone to use it as a IPod.
Thanks in Advance for your Help....

will this work on an OTB 1.1.2 iPhone?

Worked perfectly with my OTB 1.1.2 iphone (mine is 45th week)! Thanks a lot

Msg for "ONG" when you say "Worked perfectly with 1.1.2 (45th week)" to clarify for everyone reading your post, do you mean you were also able to accept a non AT&T sim card in the iphone? I have the exact week and everything is working fine, except for the phone feature (ie. wifi, ipod, camera, etc etc.

hi there i have an iphone and the firmware is only 102 i want it to upgrade in 111 pls send me the url to download the firmware. (note) my i phone is unlocked. tnx and more power.

I have a brand new Iphone, no at&t sim card, and just want to start using/jailbreak the phone. Will this work without the sim card?

Please post a message once the new jailbreakme website works for 1.1.2 without using a separate computer. All this other stuff is confusing.

How do you get from step 6 to step 7 if the phone doesn't activate again? I can't use Edge to open jailbreakme.com.

Also, are you sure this will work with an AT&T activated phone?

I am trying to unlock my 1.1.2 version iPhone. I do not have an AT&T account and do not want one. When I plug in my phone iTunes opens and asks me to set up the phone. I can not get to the settings screen. Please tell me how to get to it. Thank you.

Will I: For updated instructions on jailbreaking an out of the box iPhone running 1.1.2, see this entry.

After jailbreaking 1.1.2 is that mean the phone is UNLOCK to use with other SIM card.if not please tell me what to do to use other SIM card, thanks.

Chris, you're a saint. :-)

I had a hell of a time figuring out the 1.1.2 crack, I would continue to get all of the way through the process everytime until i would get to upgrading from the downgraded jailbroken 1.1.1 to the newly jailbroken 1.1.2 everytime it would go all the way through the upgrade and give me a 1602 error. over and over again id get so frustrated cause i couldnt get then i figured it out. for all of you that get the 1602 error around step 9, Click option then upgrade and then navigate to the 1.1.2 firmware upgrade, then continue with the jailbreak.jar file. You should then finally have your unlocked iphone with 1.1.2

I have a general question about the after part of the jail break. Is it okay upgrade iTunes back to 7.5 or will it break the jailbreak??? I just don't want to have to deal with doing all this again.

You can update to 7.5 if you want. You'll only lose the jailbreak if you update or restore the iPhone.

I worked you are my hero thankyou so much I did it all with 7.5 itunes and it worked perfectly!

"unrecoverable error" Cannot find iPHUC.. All you gotta do is put the folder of Jailbreak to Desktop, that's what i did and it WORKED :))) Good Luck YALL!

hey at first it seemed like it wasnt working but i followed the directions and it works ThanX Alot

Ok... I had Itunes 7.4.2 since i bought my mac... then I did all steps until the independence ask me to select the independence.app I did a copy of all independence files on the application folder and when i select the independence.app the independence mov deb says: "Error copying MobileDevice library into the iNdependence application bundle" seams that a lot of people is having the same problem please help me!... Im so frustrated please =(!!!

I live in Mexico, and I do not (can not) activate with AT&T. However, I can not get trough the FIRST step of the other post : (With iTunes open and the iPhone connected, hold down the Sleep and Home buttons on the iPhone for roughly 15-20 seconds, until it displays a picture of the iTunes icon and a cable plugging into it. iTunes will now detect the iPhone in recovery mode and display the following message:).

When I turn on the iPhone, it is already showing the picture with iTunes and a cable. And iTunes NEVER displays the purported message.

What can I do?

I dont have wi-fi, so without At&T activated i cant get into safari. Thus i cant get the installer without upgrading. is there a way around this? or do i have to find wi-fi?

i completed the hack and all of the 3rd party programs worked perfectly but the iphone never activated and i could never connect to the At&t network, can anybody help? thanks

hi! i just got my iphone and i think its the latest version. i was just checking out the ringing tones when it went off. then when i tried to turn it on again it just showed me an icon of a cable and a disc w/ the itunes icon. please help me... not very good with stuff like this. please... how can i get it to work again?

I just got my iphone and it is a new version (1.1.2) so what am i supposed to do to use it here in Ethiopia, Africa??????????

I am up to the last step and have spend hours to figure it out. I downgraded to 1.1.1, got the installer ap, got the oktoprep (or w/e its called) to get it ready for 1.1.2. When I update to 1.1.2, i loose the Installer Ap. I ran jailbreak.jar (jailbreak + install SSH) after the update and i still dont see the Installer. What the hell am I missing?

How long should it take Indepence to work? Everything has gone perfect to this step; now I am stalled waiting for Indepence to reboot.

Everything is working well, expect I am hanging when after having booted Independence. (And I did validate that it was installed correctly and had the correct files).

Anythoughts on getting past the boot? How long should this take?

this does not work!!!

when i navigate to the mobiledevice.framework it errors ever single time...

bogus below:

Open the iNdependence folder and double-click the iNdependence MobDev Tool file. It will tell you if you have a version of the MobileDevice.framework file. If you don't, a navigation dialog box appears. Choose the iTunes 7.4.2 version of the MobileDevice.framework file you downloaded.

Can i jailbreak my iphone if I have the 1.1.3 version on my iphone? And how to i downgrade to 1.1.1 or 1.1.2
