Guide to Jailbreaking iPhone 1.1.3

Saturday January 26, 2008 5:25 pm PST by Arnold Kim
Forum user Sbrocket has compiled a guide to jailbreaking and updating your 1.1.3 iPhone.

The guide organizes a lot of information found across the web about this potentially confusing topic:

Right now there exist, I would approximate, about 10 to 15 different guides on the web supposedly telling you how to upgrade to and jailbreak 1.1.3. The only problem with these guides is that while they for the most part contain much useful information, that information has to be pieced together like a puzzle from all the various guides. So, here you are - the definitive iPhone (and iPod Touch, soon) 1.1.3 firmware upgrade guide.

This guide will walk you through step-by-step to give you...

- A jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch with firmware version 1.1.3,
- Working iPhone baseband radio to make phone calls, access EDGE, and use Google's new cell-tower locate feature, (ONLY if you are a valid AT&T/O2/etc customer)
- The choice to either upgrade to 1.1.3's new baseband firmware or not.

(This is posted at http://guides.macrumors.com/Jailbreaking_and_updating_to_1.1.3 and, yes, I am the author.)

Updates to this will be made as suggestions come in or news is released, but this the exact procedure I followed to upgrade by iPhone from jailbroken 1.1.2 to jailbroken 1.1.3 with my AT&T service still working.

Fantastic! Thanks for putting this together. I'm farther than I was before (I wasn't getting into the proper recovery mode, apparently), but I'm stuck in recovery mode. iNdependence (which has worked before) simply won't kick the phone out of recovery mode. I've tried several times, leaving it open for a couple minutes. Anyone have any advice?

EDIT: iNdependence says "Connected to iPhone in recovery mode" at the bottom.

This is a common problem. Are you sure that you installed 1.1.1 twice? Two restores seemed to be the magic number for me to get iNdependence to work, but yours may be different. If you can't get it to work, try Option-Click restoring 1.1.1 again and then try iNdependence. Also, make sure you have Beta 2 of iNdependence if you updated to iTunes 7.6.

Well I guess three times is the charm for me. Thanks! Proceeding onward...

Ran into a problem trying to connect to the phone via SSH. Had to delete the known hosts. So if anyone runs into that problem, that's how to fix it. Also, it looks like the sleeper.net site is down. Anyone know any other sources with the 1.1.3 tweaks on it?

Oops, thanks for catching that typo. Its sleepers.net/iphonerepo. Updating the guide now.
