Jailbreak and iPhone 1.1.1

Posted By Tinman on Thursday, October 11, 2007 under General |

I did it. I now have my iPhone updated to 1.1.1 firmware, and fully jailbroken. The process is not for the faint of heart, but once you understand what you are trying to accomplish it is not all that difficult.

1.1.1

There are many guides on how to do this, but I mainly used the guide found here at ModMyIPhone.com:

ModMyiPHone Guide

I also used the iPhone Dev Team instructions found here:

TUAW iPHone Dev Team Instructions

I expect easier solutions to appear within a week.

So far every third-party application that I had installed under 1.0.2 is working on my iPhone with 1.1.1 firmware. There are a few exceptions:

Sketches: Will not execute (this app crashed on my in 1.0.2).

Summerboard: Not really needed since 1.1.1 includes a scrollable springboard.

Custom Ringtones: All of mine are gone for now. Currently looking for a work-around.

All in all I am glad I did it. I now have the added benefits of 1.1.1, with the third-party applications I’d grown very fond of. Again, the process will likely get easier in the near future. But if you can follow written instructions well, you might want to try it right now. C’mon in, the water’s great!

    what about wallpaper? Since there’s no summerboard how do you get rid if the black background?

    Right now still a black background. I would imagine there will be customize options out quite soon, as more and more people jailbreak 1.1.1 (and the iPod Touch).

    Although it was odd at first I now prefer the horizontal scrolling springboard. Seems easier, especially with “the dots” to know where I am. Also like that it remembers the last springboard page I was on. So for now this has made up for the lack of wallpaper.

    hopefully spicychicken can get something rolling on the backgrounds.. The new springboard hack will definitely be nice once I finally make the jump to 1.1.1
