[GUIDE] iPhone v1.1.1 Jailbreak & AppTapp Installation

[ReVan]

It's been a couple of days since the iPhone Dev Team announced that they had a successful jailbreak, but their method was not released to anyone outside of the team until just recently. This afternoon we received an email from an anonymous source detailing rough jailbreak instructions. After following the instructions myself, I have written a substantially more refined guide for jailbreaking and installing AppTapp on a 1.1.1 iPhone. Guide after the jump!

Before we begin, I'd like to say that this method is not refined yet. Read the entire guide over. If anything is confusing or unclear, don't do it. This guide is not meant for novice users. An easier solution will come soon from the dev team.

Don't even try if you don't meet all of the following requirements:
Must have an Intel Mac. Sorry PPC/Windows users
Comfortable with the Terminal
You absolutely need an AT&T iPhone account

Do not follow this guide if:
You have attempted to unlock your iPhone
You do not have an AT&T iPhone account
You're afraid you may brick your iPhone. It's safe, but we don't want to hear you complain.

Do not use iNdependence for activation or the traditional AppTapp install method. They will break your 1.1.1 installation.

Heed these warnings. If you disregard them, you may end up with a brick

All that having been said, lets begin:

Jailbreaking Steps

1. Sync and pray
1. Sync your iPhone with iTunes. You'll be losing all of your information, so it's a good idea to back up

2. Downgrade to v1.0.2
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds. The phone should shut down.
2. When the phone shuts down, release the Sleep/Wake button but continue holding Home
3. Wait until iTunes recognizes the iPhone. The screen will appear to be off, but iTunes will eventually recognize the iPhone. When it does, let go.
4. A message will appear telling you to restore. Click OK
5. Using your favorite browser, download the v1.0.2 software from this location. You may need to rename to .ipsw if it comes as a .zip
6. Back in iTunes, hold Option on the Mac or Shift on the PC while clicking Restore. Navigate to the software you downloaded and select it.
7. The phone will restore, but it will fail. This is normal.
8. Your iPhone should show a yellow triangle. Run Nullriver's AppTapp. It should bring you back to the Activation step on the phone and show an error in the application. Disregard the error.
9. Run AppTapp again and it should succeed.
10. If not using an AT&T SIM, use INdependence to activate your iPhone. That's it!

3. Create Symlink
1. If you haven't already, install Nullriver's AppTapp
2. Go to http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/beta in iPhone's Safari. Tap "Yes" to add to Installer
3. Plug iPhone in and open iTunes. Make sure it's recognized before proceeding
4. Using Installer, install "Trip1Prepz" located under "System"

4. Upgrade to v1.1.1
1. In iTunes click "Upgrade" and not Restore. Restoring will ruin our progress.
2. Once upgraded to 1.1.1, close iTunes
5. Jailbreak
1. Download iPHUC and friends from Rapidshare
2. Extract the contents so that iphuc, fstab, and iphonefs are all on the Desktop
3. If you don't have libreadline, download it and extract the zip to your Macintosh HD
4. Open Terminal.app located in Applications>Utilities
5. Type cd ~/Desktop and hit return
6. Type ./iphuc and hit return
7. Type getfile /dev/rdisk0s1 iphonefs/rdisk0s1 314572800 and hit return. This will take about five minutes so grab something to drink in the meantime. Once complete, there will be a file named "rdisk0s1" in your "iphonefs" folder
8. Add .dmg to the end of the file. It should end up being rdisk0s1.dmg
9. Double click the file to mount it
10. Open the newly mounted Snowbird3A109a.UserBundle drive and open the "etc" folder. Replace the fstab file inside the "etc" folder with the supplied fstab file.
11. Unmount the image
12. Back in Terminal, assuming that you've kept iPHUC up and running, type putfile iphonefs/rdisk0s1.dmg /dev/rdisk0s1 and hit return. This will take another minute or so. When it's finished, reboot the iPhone. You're jailbroken!

6. Install SSH
1. Download iNdependence from its Google code page here
2. Open iNdependence and go to the "SSH" tab
3. Click "Install SSH/SFTP/SCP" and follow the instructions. It will ask to reboot the iPhone several times
4. When you're done, SSH into your iPhone from the Terminal by typing ssh -l root your.iphones.ip.address. When asked the password is alpine. If it gives a fuss, you may need to remove the "known_hosts" file from /Users/YourUser/.ssh/
5. Accept the key by typing yes and hitting return if asked. Leave the window open.
6. Open your favorite FTP (I recommend CyberDuck) client and log in using your iPhone's IP address, root for the username and alpine for the password. Make sure to use SFTP and not plain old FTP
7. If you're not already there, navigate to /var/root and rename Media to Media_sym
8. Rename MediaBackup to Media. Keep the FTP and SSH windows open.
9. Open iTunes and allow it to activate

7. Install AppTapp
1. Download Nullriver's AppTapp
2. Right click or control click AppTapp Installer and click "Show Package Contents". Navigate to Contents>Resources
3. Using the FTP application, copy Installer.app from the Resources folder into the Applications folder on your iPhone
4. Back in the terminal, SSH into your iPhone again (if you're not already), give the comand chmod -Rf +x /Applications/ and hit return.
5. Slide to unlock your iPhone then type /Applications/Installer.app/Installer and hit return to launch Installer.
6. After AppTapp opens, press control+c to close it
7. Open Safari on iPhone and navigate to http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/beta
8. Tap yes to add it to Installer
9. Back in terminal, using ssh, type /Applications/Installer.app/Installer and hit return to launch Installer again.
10. Install Trip1PogoStick located under the "System" category to enable scrolling and applications.
11. When you're done, reboot the iPhone and close all your windows.

You now have AppTapp.

That's it! Enjoy having your cake and eating it too.

Will be re-organizing this guide for Win and Mac users

This is good news!!! But now i we need the guide for PC user.

Hey, is this going to affect the louder sound files i got from you....my phone sounds so perfect, i dont want to give it up for 1.1.1.

[ReVan]

Yes, it will replace those files with v1.1.1 ones. But we can always improvise that later.

[jujubeanser]

so all of the programs on installer will work on 1.1.1? I can't upgrade yet b/c I'm using a powerbook

[Murfunit]

Not all. They're available for download/install but I've found a few don't want to play nice with the 1.1.1 interface

Particularly the ones that manipulate the Springboard, like Summerboard and rSBT. I can't get iSwitcher yet - since iBrickr doesn't recognize this jailbreak yet and I didn't install Greg's PXL version Installer Pack before I updated. (I can never get it to show in Installer without it)

we should get a list up here of the ones that do and dont work.

so what exactly happens with summerboard/rSBT? nothing at all? certain aspects of it work?

Summerboard scrolled left to right instead of top to bottom and placed the dock at the top of the screen (for me) On the Phone I had no dock at all, so no access to keypad, contacts, etc.

rSBT Settings opened with 0 icons in the dock and 0 in the Springboard. Changing it to 4/14 or 16 put the icons into categories, but not the right categories in the Icon List. (Phone iPod mail Safari were all at the bottom of the list, in the Extended Springboard or in the Hidden area, depending on how many icons you have set up). After moving a few around it crashed. I'm not sure if it was the ones I attempted to move or just the movement at all.

I'm playing with them a bit more, as wellas other apps as the day goes on and will report what I find as I go.

thanks for the info
I'd imagine all these kinks will be worked out within the week or two. I'd hope so at least!

I would think you are not jailbroken until step 6-3. At step 5-12, you have write access to the OS partition but you haven't changed the services.plist to launch the second service (afc2) that gives full file system access via afc.

I assume iNdependance does a jailbreak in order to install SSH and doesn't install it directly - which should work with iBrickr.
Otherwise, you can just edit the Services.plist to add the second afc.

BTW, did you just copy this from iPhoneAlley or are you the author (and step 5 is mis-formatted)?

[mtwiford]

yeah summerboard does the same thing on mine, customize wont even open. It just closes right after the spicey chicken logo

Anybody care to upload a 1:1 copy of the 1.1.1 files from their iphone? Would like to have a look on the new frameworks ...

[aziatiklover]

wow awesome

[DoerrFan]

This is great! Unfortunatly i unlocked my iPhone because I was going to Europe, so i don't think ill try this, Go Dev Team!!!!

[Mookie469]

Anyword on the baseband? Would it downgrade it, if i upgrade to the 1.1.1 by mistake? Is anybody working on this? I would like to make some calls on my phone. I will appreciate all the assistance. Thanks in advance.

[biba]

Mookie469 :
I spend 2 days. But at this moment if you diwngrade from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 your Iphone is Unblocked but SIM is not working. Problem is with FirmWare of modem. When i downgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 modem version is stil from 1.1.1. Now i'm waiting for some manuals for it.
I have question , if i wil lbuy new Iphone in US , will it be with old FirmWare or with new 1.1.1 .

If you are unlocked in 1.0.2 the downgrade from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 will not make it work

This method does not correct any of the problems caused to the baseband by the 1.1.1 update on unlocked phones.

In fact it is written specifically for 'legit' AT&T locked phones either factory 1.1.1 or updated to 1.1.1

I have question , if i wil lbuy new Iphone in US , will it be with old FirmWare or with new 1.1.1 .

That all depends. SOme stores were selling 1.1.1 the same weekend the update came out. Others still have 1.0.2 on the shelves 2 weeks later.

It's a gamble at this point

Stuck in step three, when trying to go to the link in iphone safari it says safari can't download the file

Please help T_T

[NetMage]

Stuck in step three...

Do you have Installer.app installed? Did you run AppTapp to get this installed?

Try cycling power to make sure you restart Safari after installing installer.app.

[long10horns]

me too, i cant get step 3 to work and yes i did use apptapp
