Comments on: Jailbreaking an AT&T iPhone with firmware 1.1.3 http://atkinx.com/2008/01/27/113_jailbreak_iphone_att/ Hacker, Gamer, Master Debater Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:43:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Atkins http://atkinx.com/2008/01/27/113_jailbreak_iphone_att/#comment-47 Atkins Tue, 19 Feb 2008 22:31:04 +0000 http://atkinx.com/2008/01/27/113_jailbreak_iphone_att/#comment-47 john, Well, unfortunately, the method above uses the jailbroken 1.1.1 firmware as a stepping stone to move between a legit 1.1.3 install and a jailbroken 1.1.2 install. If you have followed the instruction that I posted above, you have the 1.1.3 cell modem (baseband) firmware running on the software version 1.1.1. The best way to go forward is to use iTunes and restore the phone to 1.1.3. Then download and use ZiPhone, which is at http://www.ziphone.org/ to jailbreak it. It's pretty easy and works great, it's a lot better than doing the method I posted. If your really against using doing a restore (and I don't really understand why you would be) then you need to downgrade your baseband to the same version that came with the 1.1.1 software. This is tricky and also a little dangerous. If you really want to do it, check out how to "virginize" your baseband here http://iphone.unlock.no/#how-to-downgrade-1.1.2-or-1.1.3 john,

It is showing no reception signal from AT&T can anyone help me through this and back to making calls without restoring factory settings?

This method is now pretty much outdated, if you still haven't jailbroken OR unlocked your 1.1.3 (or any version really) and you still want to, I'd highly reccomend that you go use ZiPhone, which you can find at http://www.ziphone.org/ It works wonders and I believe it runs on windows and mac. Happy Hacking. No problem, I’m glad some people got some use out of this guide over the last couple of weeks.

I was having a lot of problems with Google maps and other things and was looking for a way to have all the apps and 1.1.3. Much appreciated J Hey Atkins,

I would think the iTunes upgrade to 1.1.3 would upgrade the boot loader but I don't have any solid evidence. The unlock method for 1.1.2+ OTB iPhones at iphone.unlock.no is fairly similar to my method except that it uses some installer packages to help the process along. I think their method uses a hack to bypass the at&t activation where as my method lets the phone authenticate itself, so their method is probably a better universal solution. It can't be all that much longer before someone comes out with a one-click update/jailbreak/unlock program. That’s a fine question.

From what I've read it's possible to jailbreak a 1.1.3 phone. I'm not positive but I would guess that my method would work on new style phone but since I don't have one, I can't verify that.

After reading this I see there is a lot of bouncing around with different firmwares, so what makes having an OTB 1.1.2 different that you can't use this method?

Once you've done that, google winscp and download it. You will now need your iphones wireless IP address. Go to settings > Network > Wifi> Name of your Network. Note the IP address. Put that IP address in to winscp with the login name of root and password of alpine. Now use winscp to navigate to /usr/libexec on your iphone. Drag and drop the lockdownd file you downloaded in to this folder. Now go out and google putty and download it. use the same IP, username and password in putty and connect to your iphone. Type "cd /usr/libexec" and then type "chmod 0555 /usr/libexec/lockdownd". Now type "exit". Now restart your iphone by holding down the power button and sliding the slider when it appears. Start up iTunes and connect your iphone to it and it will activate with at&t and your all finished. @John - It isn't easy. If you've used things like winscp, putty and done some iTunes restores before you should be able to do the whole thing is around 30 mins. If your less familiar with all this stuff than I'd give yourself at least an hour to do it, especially if you mess something up and have to repeat a step or two. @Corey - To do the last step you need to use the Installer on your iphone to install openssh.

About how long does it take to go from Nate True's jailbreak 1.1.3 to Other Jailbreak 1.1.3 In minutes? or Hours? Thanks! I thought I read closely but I didn’t pick up on this item.

Other Jailbreak 1.1.3

In minutes? or Hours?
