Jailbreak 1.1.2 - Updated Instructions

*EDIT* Updated again, Instructions are correct even though 1.1.3 is out.

THE JAILBREAK PROGRAM FROM CONCEITED SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED

I know that this is repetitive but many posts here are giving the wrong advice.

The jailbreak program has been updated and the guide for both windows and mac users is to follow:

These directions are for the updated Conceited Software Jailbreak Package. (iNdependence is no longer needed)

First, download the Conceited Software Jailbreak program here: http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/site/112jb.html

Then download the 1.1.2 file http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1385&act=down

And finally download the 1.1.1 restore file here: http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1355
Updates:
- Activation/YouTube for iPhones
- Added an automatic fix for SpringBoard crash problem on touches
- PPC support
- Some improvements to crossplatform compatibility



Step 1: Downgrade to 1.1.1 (if required)
*** NOTE: This guide does not guarantee it will work 100%. Also errors 1015 is expected at
the end of the process. Continue reading to understand. ***

1. Download the 1.1.1 ipsw firmware file from the link above. If the downloaded file has the extension
".zip", please remove it and modify it to end up with a filename ending in _Restore.ipsw

2. Reboot your iPhone holding the top (power) and home buttons BUT release the top button 10
seconds into it (right after the screen goes dark) and continue to hold the home button until
iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode. The iPhone screen will appear to be off, but start
iTunes if not started yet .

3. Restore your iPhone by pressing and holding the ‘Shift’ key on windows or ‘option’ key on Mac,
then click ‘restore’ to select the 1.1.1 firmware file you downloaded earlier. The restore should
go through and errors at the end with error 1015. However you will notice that the iphone is in
DFU mode with the connect to itunes screen from 1.1.1.

4. In order to kick the phone out of that mode, start TouchFree by double-clicking "windows.bat"
on Windows or "jailbreak.jar" in OS X, then click the "Boot from Recovery" button.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2a: Jailbreak 1.1.1 on Unactivated iPhone
*** NOTE: If your phone has been activated through iTunes, you can proceed to step 2b. ***

1. enter *#307# press call, now use the back button on the top of your screen to remove *#307# ,
now enter 0 , press call, press answer, press hold, press decline. And you get to the contact
list. And thereafter every time you push the homebutton you just slide the "emergency call"
slide, then enter 0 , press call, press hold, press decline.

2. Push contacts, end call and you get called again, this time hit decline and you access one of
menus with favorites, you can edit contacts, do a test ride on keyboard, take photos etc.

3. Now edit a new contact and type in "prefs://11" as web-address and "http://jailbreakme.com" as
an additional URL.

4. When you tap "prefs://11" you can now select your favorite WiFi gateway.

5. Now press the home button and move the slider to the dial-pad.

6. Now you can go back to the contact list by Dialing 0, push call, then answer, then contacts,
then hit the "http://jailbreakme.com" web address you typed in.

7. Scroll down to the bottom, click "Install AppSnapp". Safari will exit and you'll return to your
springboard. Wait for the phone to reboot. You are now jailbroken. and are able to use
Installer.app.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2b: Jailbreaking on iPod Touch or iTunes Activated iPhone

1. Launch Safari

2. Visit http://jailbreakme.com, Scroll down to the bottom, click "Install AppSnapp". Safari will
exit and you'll return to your springboard. Slide to unlock, you are now jailbroken. and are
able to use Installer.app.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Prepare your 1.1.1 device for the Update

1. Launch Installer.app

2. Scroll down to Tweaks (1.1.1)

3. Select OktoPrep

4. Click Install

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3b: Prevent SpringBoard crash on previous hacked iPod touches

If you have installed MobileMail on your iPod touch, there is a chance an update to 1.1.2 will
render your device inoperable until a restore. This issue can be prevented by switching Auto-Check
off.

- Go to General->Mail->Auto-Check. Set it to Manual.

If you forget to do this step and update, proceed with the jailbreak in step 5 (even though
SpringBoard is unusable) and we will fix it for you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: Update to 1.1.2

1. Connect your device to your computer

2. Launch iTunes

3. Choose your device

4. Hold "Option" on a Mac, or "Shift" on a PC and click, "Update." Navigate to the 1.1.2 file that we downloaded and click OK.

- DO NOT CLICK OR SHIFT-CLICK RESTORE: That will wipe the changes OktoPrep made.

5. Wait forever for your device to update

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5: Jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone

WARNING: If your iPhone is unactivated, it will be factory "hactivated" for you and YouTube enabled.
If this is not desired behavior, activate your iPhone with iTunes before proceeding.

1. Close iTunes

2. Connect your device to your computer

3. On Windows, double click on windows.bat, on Mac, double click on jailbreak.jar

4. Follow the on screen instructions.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I have found the threads on jailbreaking the Ipod Touch interesting. I have a 16gb Touch and ducussed the Jailbreak with a relative who warned me that if I jailbreak it there is a possibility that software/firmware updates will result in my touch being locked and rendered unuseable. Does anybody know if this is the case, if it is the case would the Touch be unlockable or deceased.

As of right now, the only way that your iPhone would have been "bricked," was if you unlocked your iphone before the newest firmware

jailbreaking you should be completely fine!

I get to step 1.4 and lauch jailbreak.jar from Leopard and it select "Boot from Recovery". The window comes up with the "Rebooting...Sending commands...".

How long does this step take? Iam on 10 minutes?

Click to expand...

It shouldn't be that long... Make sure that iTunes is closed. Hit Cancel, load the jailbreak program again and hit "Boot From Recovery" again.

That happened to me too, this is what I did.

I think it keeps saying "Sending Commands" when you click boot from recovery. once the iPhone has rebooted though you can just cancel out of it. The only thing that needs to run fully is after you update to 1.1.2 and click jailbreak. When It's finished you'll get a window showing it's done. But like it was stated before make sure iTunes is closed before doing both.

It depends, yes, make sure that iTunes is closed... And yes again, all we need it to do is kick the phone out of recovery mode. (Sometimes it will finish sending commands. I've done it a few times, and it works whether it finishes sending them or not, as long as the iPhone itself reboots.)

If we wish to restore our phones after being jailbroken, is it possible through itunes restore?

Click to expand...

Sure is, just hit the restore button in the "Summary" tab.

this worked perfect! However, I have question concerning the emulators. How can I get roms onto my iPhone? Any help would be awesome. Thanks again for the step by step, it worked perfectly!

Click to expand...

Easiest way is SSH. In installer.app download OpenSSH, unless you already have it installed.

Then download an SFTP program (cyberduck is free for mac users) and log into the phone with its IP.

There are many threads here explaining the details.
