Hmmmmm. After touching ‘Install AppSnap’ on my 1.1.1 8 GB iPhone Safari quits after a few seconds (this is on Edge) and the process seems to have failed.

This works very well. Took me 1 minute, and was ready to go.

Installed fine, however, any package I install shows up, but when launched it reverts back to home screen and does not load. The only app I have working is Summerboard. Lights Off, Flashlight, Blackjack no workie.

[…] Jailbreaking of iPhone can’t be easier than this. Try AppSnapp, You don’t need a computer and you don’t need to know anything about command line scripts. Just connect to http://www.jailbreakme.com/ using Safari on your iPhone or iPod Touch, then click “Install AppSnap” button at the bottom. That’s it. You will find installer on your iPhone. If you need more detailed information, try iPhone Atlas. […]

This is great work. Wish these guys come up with a Virginizer-GUI too.

Have repeatedly clicked on “Install AppSnap” and Safari quickly crashes. Rebooted iPhone, same results. Restored iPhone, same results.

I have the same problem - no previous 1.1.1 jailbreak done - simply doesn’t work. Safari crashes, return to home screen immediately - nothing installed, nothing appears to have changed.

I have 1.1.1 update. New One-Step AppSnap worked great.

I followed the instructions. I noticed its not the “Sources’ Bottom right that your looking for. Click the ‘Install Icon” second from the left on the bottom dock. Then Install the ‘Community Sources’ Then BDS and OpenSSH. Then LauncherX. Then SummerBoard. Not SummerBoard Old.

Those of you like me that have been away for awhile SummerBoard scrolls Left and right not Up and Down. Be sure to download a Theme for Icons.

I did restart my iPhone during the process when instructed.

Good Luck.

Had the same problem of Safari crashing after selecting install, it took about 5 tries, but then it finally worked! You guys ROCK!

Same problem for me, essentially. I upgraded to 1.1.1, then went straight to the website and experienced the safari crashing thing. I tried it a couple of times, then came back here and saw that others had the same problem. I’ve tried re-restoring, rebooting, and giving my iphone a nice warm hug, but to no prevail. Does anyone have a fix? Do we know what causes this?

It worked, but when I clicked the Installer, the iPhone locked up and had to reboot it by pushing both the power and home buttons… Upon reboot, all seems well so far. Happy to have AppTapp back on the iPhone! Makes it SO much more enjoyable with all the new apps.

I installed it and it worked fine (with that slightly scary rebooting step already mentioned by some) and I made a donation — my concern: as wonderful as it is that AppSnap patches the tiff vulnerability, what’s to stop Apple from checking on the TIFF vulnerability in the next update and bricking any phone that’s been patched?

The Safari crash when you select AppSnap is what you want to happen. I tried this with a friend’s phone, mine already had a jailbreak with iNdependence, and it was successful. The Safari crash worried me at first but I waited it out. After three or four minutes of staring at the homescreen it locked and I had to “slide to unlock”. The Installer icon had been added and I was now able to add apps.

I recommend adding the BSD subsystem right away because other people are saying that some apps won’t run without it. AppSnap enables the hidden feature included with the iPhone that allows you to swipe to a second screen when you have installed enough apps that you have more than sixteen icons. SummerBoard is not required for this and you might want to wait for an update to install it anyway because the Alpha version has been causing some intermittent software crashes. Some have said those crashes won’t happen if you don’t choose “Dim Wallpaper”.

I’m loading it as soon as somebody confirms that there is an uninstall process. Do you just “Restore”? Does it leave tell-tale signs of Jailbreaking (like folders, files or mods to the System software)?

I want it, but I’m not in the market to buy another iPhone if calamity strikes and the Apple Store guys say “there’s a folder on your iPhone that is not factory, your phone’s warranty is void”.

Bonus for one-step: iPhpneRingToneMaker (Windoze only so far) alpha release for 1.1.1 phones still works after jailbreak. Whew!

My iphone is already jailbroken with iNdependence for 1.1.1 firmware.
To install “installer.app, can I use the same method mentioned above without
re-jailbreaking?
Thanks

Hello,

I have been following your blog since I bought my iPhone back in September. I haven’t had the guts to actually unlock my phone but only because I have always had a question it seems nobody has asked yet…

Is there ANY WAY to restore the iphone once you unlock it to BRAND NEW FROM FACTORY?

I mean, If I unlock my iphone and then I have a HARDWARE problem and want to take it to the APPLE store to have it repair, is any way to put it back as it was when you bought it without them (APPLE) to figure it out you unlocked it?

Thanks a lot

I virginized my 1.0.2 phone, upgraded to 1.1.1. Went through the whole process on iphone however when i load the jailbreakme.com url in Safari, the website loads but doesn’t not recognize that I am viewing it on Safari (webpage specifies that i need to view it using Safari) and hence I cannot install AppSnapp.

I already tried restoring the 1.1.1 firmware 3 times and nothing has changed.

Help!!!

I can’t get it to work either. I’m doing a restore now, but I was wondering if the install files were really all there. Magic.tif (the “picture” the iPhone tries to display, which starts the jailbreak)is only 2k in size. Is the correct? I was gonna jailbreak the long way, so I downloaded all the files to do that, which are much, much larger than 2k. Does this file cause the iPhone to go download and run more stuff? If so, shouldn’t I see the Edge’s little starburst doing it’s spiny thing while downloading more stuff? When I hit “Install”, it starts to download, then within 5 seconds jumps back to the home screen, and never does anything else. After 30 seconds, it goes to sleep. No new apps, no reboot. nada. I’m wondering if the “install” file is broke.

You can ignore the problem before since I was able to access the portal using a different WIFI access point.

My new problem is as follows:
- After using AnySIM 1.1 (already downgraded, virginized, upgraded …)
- I receive intermitent mobile signal without being able to make calls. The signal fluctuates between full reception and No Signal. When I access the Mobile Netwokr settings, I am able to see the available wireless networks (at least when signal is up) and specify which I want, however I can never make or receive calls.

Note that I had a similar problem with firmware 1.0.2 and AnySIM 1.02.

Help.

I had problems with the phone going back to the home screen just like many other people. I tried everything I could think of. The funny thing is when I gave up and unhooked the phone from the computer and had a seat on my sofa I said what the heck lets try it one more time. Wow it worked no problems none at all. Than I thought silly me I should have unhooked the phone from the computer b4 trying it the first time!!!! lol
