A working jailbreak for 1.1.3 is finally here.

STATEMENT OF RISK

As all upgrades are risky, this one is doubly so. You may have to restore your phone using iTunes and start again if it fails. Make sure to back up first!

Let's continue

This jailbreak, like the 1.1.2 jailbreak, comes as an upgrade. This means you need to have a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone already, before you can begin.

QUESTIONS? See the FAQ

Official Jailbreak release works for iPod Touch, and is easier to do. Go here for that.

Update - unlocked phones appear to remain unlocked and work properly after the update, according to scattered reports.

It's exactly, 100%, bit-for-bit, identical to the leaked firmware that was demoed on Gear Live.

This means the home screen rearrangement crashing bugs will still happen.

It also means the info I released about the leaked firmware holds true. To reiterate:

If you upgrade to 1.1.3 with an anySIM-unlocked phone, your upgrade will fail, and a restore to 1.1.2 or a lower firmware will let you use your phone again.

If you upgrade to 1.1.3 with a never-unlocked phone (this includes jailbroken phones) your upgrade will succeed. You will ONLY (as of yet) be able to activate if you have a valid AT&T SIM card and service (aka the "normal" way to activate).

Once you upgrade to 1.1.3 on a normal phone, there's no downgrading. The new...

Just download it, run it, and plug in your iPhone and it will guide you through the steps, doing most of the work for you.

iPhones modified this way do not need to be "unjailbroken" to work with iTunes - your iPhone will always appear the same to iTunes as it ever did.

Right now ringtone management is the star feature, with application management via PXL being less useful because PXL packages are at the moment hard to come by.

It has an in-built error reporting architecture (you get to review everything that gets sent my way though), so if something goes wrong I can help you out with it and get back to you via e-mail.

So check it out, and let me know what you think. ]]> Hey everyone - I just released the first version of iBrickr, a Windows app that makes iPhone modding easy. Just download it, run it, and plug in your iPhone and it will guide you through the steps, doing most of the work for you.
