I don't think I can jailbreak now that 1.1.3 is released as an update, even though I have NOT updated to 1.1.3.

so, I wanted to downgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1. I downloaded the old 1.1.1 firmware and went to restore with it, then ran Independence program and was able to download jailbreak app on the phone. I then got the OktoPrep download, etc etc.

after all of that, then the instructions say to update to 1.1.2 in Itunes in order to activate the phone. but, now, 1.1.3 is the update. so now I can't run jailbreak 1.1.2 with 1.1.3 right? I downloded the 1.1.2 restore firmware, and tried to trick my iphone into updating with that, but it didn't work, because it was a total restore file.

so basically, I just restored it back to 1.1.2.
no 3rd party apps for me.

Also, I am looking to only jailbreak the phone, not unlock it. I can not make calls after I downgrade, but I never see the emergency slider. Should I just jailbreak it and see if it works?

- Download iNdependence, Jailbreak, apple firmware 1.1.1 and if necessary update your iTunes v7.5 to work with independence (check independence read me files)
- Launch the iPhone in restore mode (turn off phone, hold both the home button and the power button until the apple logo appears. Once the logo appears release the power button only)
- Once the phone is on again, you will see the Connect to iTunes screen. Follow the video guide and downgrade your phone to 1.1.1
- Launch independence and wait for it to connect to the phone. HERE IS WHERE THINGS START TO CHANGE FOR PREVIOUSLY ACTIVATED PHONES. Once you launch independence, it might or might not connect immediately to the phone. Do not close it until your iphone is either back to the screen where you can slide for emergency calls or back to the apps screen (normal page you see after you slide to unlock). You might need to launch independence a couple of times until it finally recognizes the phone.
- If you have the emergency call slider, go ahead and follow the steps on the video guide.
- If you are back on your normal apps screen, then you are pretty much done with the hard part. Go to Settings, select your wi-fi network, then travel to the general settings and set the phone autolock mode to "Never". Now, go to the phone section > contacts. From here on, follow the video guide to set up your jailbreak without placing any emergency calls (example: Add Jailbreak contact then add both urls, save then select the second url from your jailbreak contact and install the installer. A very important thing to note is that because there are many times when the phone is going to restart on its own, this will also cause iTunes to start every time. Make sure you either disable itunes from starting every time the phone is detected or close the application as soon as it launches every time the phone restarts. Otherwise, iTunes will halter whatever process you are trying to complete and it will make things even more confusing.
- Once the jailbreak is done (you will see a successful jailbreak message) launch iTunes and update your phone to 1.1.2. Please note that iTunes might not offer the option to update but rather it will only allow you to restore. This is OK. Get the phone back to 1.1.2 (the previously installed Installer icon will disappear but don't worry, this is normal). Once the update is done, run Jailberak 1.1.2 on your iphone and the installer and the SSH icon will reappear on your phone once the program is done. There you have it! Your phone is now free!

Once you go through the tutorial yourself please feel free to add anything that might support /complete/clarify it.
Thanks.

1. You don't need to enter contacts' name.
2. You don't need to enter "prefs://11" - "prefs:" will do
3. You don't need to go back to "emergency call" screen after adding URLs. Just click the first one, going to Settings.

Clip is nicely made and pleasing to the eye, but you're talking too quietly and some parts of it are too quick.

GJ, tho :)

BUT I do need some help. I have followed the instructions pretty well, and I can't get AppSnap to install from the website (i can access it and click the "install" link and everything...then the phone either quits safari and does nothing or freezes). I have let it "do its thing" for a while thinking it was just installing in the background but no such luck.

Any other methods of installing appsnap, like through telnet (the download has been taken off the jailbreak website, so i would need a 1.1.1 copy)

@NcSchu: It's called Exploration. You can find it in Ministry of Sound - The Chillout Session Ibiza 2002. It's a great double album, worth getting, full of old chill out and dance classics (including my favorite series At Night/Beautiful/Lazy/Point of View.)

If somebody finds an easier way to install apps on 1.1.2, then I'll do it, but until then, I'll just play games on my PS3 or Wii. I don't see Madden coming out for the iPhone any time soon.

@Lithivm: I have the right to question anything I don't understand, and I don't understand the philosophy of buying a phone you KNOW is locked and bitching when you can't do X or Y. Comparing it to a Ferrari is just stupid.

P.S. It doesn't make you a hacker when you follow step by step directions to get something to work. Especially when you can't fix what you might have just broken. On that note, "hack" away n00bs.

The different in my mind is that there were more development kits and less unknowns with hacking that phone or the PSP then there currently are with the iPhone.

After Feb., I say go for it. Turn the thing into whatever you want. There will be better understanding of the system then.

Hell, I won't be surprised to see someone port Linux to the thing by March.

It's very fulfilling when you can make your equipment more useful or more entertaining, and helps to make it uniquely your own, which is also very cool.

I say hack on my brothers, may it serve you well!

If you don't like the fact you can't do X, don't buy the freaking thing. Geez.
