I purchased a 16gb iPhone on Sunday Feb 10 and swapped the 8GB SIM to the 16GB. It worked flawlessly and has been working ever since.

I want to jailbreak my iPhone, after using iJailbreak… How do you install Installer.app? By going to jailbreakme.com? If someone could tell me that would be awesome.

Also, If something like the battery stops working can you simply restore it to 1.1.3 (or current firmware) and take it into an apple store to be fixed under warranty? Or is there some way they can tell it has been jailbroken?

version 0.5.3 of iJailbreak works without any problems for me on 7.6 on a mac.
finally. My only recommendations if you are currently are on iphone 1.1.3 with a bunch of webapps and contacts, bookmarks etc., is to first sync your iphone before running ijailbreak. you may have to sync twice, if you see backing up…in itunes, then you are backed up. check by going to itunes preferences, syncing and see the latest date of backing up your iphone. backing up is a way to get your data back on the iphone if jailbreak goes wrong (via ziphone on mac-i had to restore after ziphone). I just restored and chose my latest backup in 7.6. installed iJailbreak 0.5.3. worked flawlessly. all my stuff was there and the coveted installer app. not all apps will work. but got some i used on 1.1.1 and navizon(reason i used ijailbreak) is so much better now than the maps update in 1.1.3. almost like having a real GPS. for $25 not $200.
before ijailbreaking: I did get a get a connect to itunes slide for emergency screen after my restore and update in itunes 7.6. once i slid for emergency to get keypad, itunes recognized and restore process continued, ie. choose back up. I also got pairing error, but all i did was remove from dock and put back in.
oh yeah, you need leopard for ijailbreak to work.
Thanks goes out to 13 year-old AriX

Verision 0.5.3 of iJailbreak is hands down the easiest and most efficient jailbreak I have used for my iPhones. I would strongly recommend anyone with little hacking experience to use this form of jailbreak over any other currently available. Thanks a lot developers

Great Jailbreak thanks. There are several apps that i want that will not work. Is this normal? Do they just need to update for 1.1.3. When i download them and try to run them it crashes. Many apps, especially games work great but chat programs, money management and several others wont work. Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks

Can anyone confirm if it’s safe to get a jailbroken 1.1.1 firmware (jailbroken by jailbreakme.com) updated to 1.1.3?

I basically want to go to a vanilla-Apple firmware 1.1.3, then figure out if I want to jailbreak further later.

I’m afraid that I might brick my phone if I just try to Restore via iTunes and upgrade to 1.1.3.

Does anybody know of a “downgrade to non-jailbroken firmware” pathway?

Thanks :-)

You should be able to just attach your phone to iTunes, back it up one last time, and hit the restore button and that will wipe your phone and reinstall. Depending on what firmware you have on your computer you’ll either have 1.1.1 or .2 or .3. Either way you should be able to upgrade to 1.1.3 without any problems. I had a 1.1.1 jailbroken phone before I upgraded to 1.1.3 and jailbroke again and everything was fine.

Thanks! That’s *exactly* what I was hoping to hear. After a few hours of googling, I couldn’t find that out.

I used the jailbreak and it went perfectly except then nothing worked on my phone. No sound, Navizon and SendSong wouldn’t load, etc., etc.
Finally restored to unjaolbroken 1.1.3.
Anyone else had problems after using this jailbreak?
