Today we have the release of the simplest jailbreak yet for the iPhone 1.1.3 firmware – a 5 minute, one-click process that does *not* involve downgrading to an earlier firmware before running it.

ZiPhone, the name of the latest jailbreak application, has been released by Zibri and iPhone Elite (not the Dev Team).  With this release you can jailbreak and unlock a 1.1.3 iPhone.

Later today we are supposed to see details of how this new jailbreak works, and why it is considered the ‘real’ jailbreak – the one that Dev Team was supposed to be holding back until after the SDK release.

I have not tried this new method out yet (probably will soon) – but our colleague, Tinman, and others over at EIC forums are reporting success with this.

While another method at first would seem to just add to the big mess on 1.1.3 jailbreaks, this one seems like it may be the best and most complete method – or at least we’re hoping it is.

As always, we’re interested to hear your results if you’ve tried this one out …

If you’re interested in further details on the how and why of this method, look out for them later on at:

it does not look like anyone else has posted. I just restored my ipod touch to 1.1.3, otb condition, and ran ziphone -j and it jailbroke it quickly. and it works. WIFI seemes a tad bit slower, but unconfirmed. openssh still does not work though. none of the phone browsers work though. i can not view the file system from outside of the phone.

weasleyclark – thanks for the update. Hope WiFi and SSH have turned out to be OK for you – those are two big issues really …
