 The iPhone/Touch Dev Team have finally managed to jailbreak the 1.1.1 iPhone firmware, but its not ready for the public to use yet. Soon you will be able to use your bricked iPhone and have 3rd party apps back. They say there is still some “major hacking” to be done so be patient. Read on for a full list of what the hackers have done. Third Party apps run. Kind of. We probably have to recompile many of them for the new frameworks because many of them crash. - Springboard no longer recognizes DisplayOrder.plist. And the list of "whitelisted" apps (that is, the official Applications including Safari, Photos, Calendar, etc) seems to be hard-coded into Springboard.app - The iPhone has been activated via third-party workarounds. - The 1.1.1 binaries barely work with 1.0.2 -- at least not well enough to run the music store without major hacking. - The Mobile Terminal App works on 1.1.1. - The entire bsd suite still works -- as do standard command-line utilities compiled for ARM. - 1.1.1 references both com.apple.mobile.radio and com.apple.mobile.nike. - The jailbreak method is nowhere near ready for prime time. So please be patient. Shopping Share This Article:             |
