iPod Touch Jailbreak - Update

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Ok, so I’ve upgraded my iPod Touch to 1.1.3 now and it works! It does appear that you need to have a freshly jailbroken iPod though. I had to restore mine to 1.1.1 after the first time (it went into recovery mode) but it worked after I jailbroke that and installed oktoprep.

Some apps like Customize and Summerboard do not work properly but I imagine there will be a fix for them soon.

Screenshots will follow shortly

(Update - 11/4/08) Long overdue I know but here are the screenshots

Springboard

iPhone 1.1.3 Jailbreak Released

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Ok, lets get stuck into my first real post on here.
I’m sure you read about the iPhone 1.1.3 Jailbreak that was discovered by the iPhone dev team a couple of weeks ago or that you at least know what Jailbreaking is. If not, Jailbreaking is a method used to install third party applications on your iPod Touch or iPhone.

The Iphone dev team have been Jailbreaking iPhones since the original 1.0.2 firmware so it was only logical that they would find a way to Jailbreak this one. Anyway, they came up with a Jailbreak for it and said that it would be released after Apple released the SDK in late February.

If you have a look on Nate True’s Blog, it appears that the Jailbreak has been released early (at least for the iPhone) and can be downloaded in the form of his iBrickr program.
This method is also rumored to work on the iPod touch (although it installs the iPhone firmware). I am currently in the process of Jailbreaking my iPod Touch so I’ll let you know if it works or not.

Also please remember, I cannot take any responsibility for any damage you cause to your iPod/iPhone/whatever else by trying this. It’s completely your responsibility.

Cheers,
Mitchel
