Was following Niacin's IRC channel and he just released the latest, and what he has called final, jailbreak for iPhone 1.1.1.

He just posted it here, literally seconds ago:
http://www.toc2rta.com/

EDIT: Site was hammered into oblivion (Apple? ;)). Mirror should be up soon.

OK, the link only works in Mobile Safari and that page contains the Tiff exploit.

I suggest NOT visiting that link in Mobile Safari till it has been confirmed that this is legit.

Hold up, Web page now says:
"THIS ONLY WORKS FOR ITOUCH/IPHONE 1.1.1
Don't use the exploit unless you know what you're doing! This will cause you not to be able to sync from iTunes."

I have not seen anyone on the IRC channel able to sync to iTunes.

Hopefully just a misunderstanding...

Tinman

What I know as of now:

1.) The Web page is indeed for Mobile Safari.

2.) It contains both the tiff exploit and the symlink hack.

3.) After that you still need to get in and do stuff (like install Installer--prolly with iPhuc).

4.) It needs a tutorial!

I think the people that dived in were not aware they needed to do a few things in order to get iTunes to sync.


FYI: I have captured the code-bearing TIFF in case the Website is pulled again.

so say one dives in too fast and already opened the page in Safari which runs the exploit but has not done anything through iPhuc and wants to wait on a tutorial to come out for comforts sake. would a full restore be in order?

Possibly, if you are on 1.1.1. No biggie if you are, as you would have no 3rd party apps anyway.

Well first run the exploit in mobile safari in 1.1.1... then it'll crash it.

follow those instructions from "jailbreak" down and you'll have apptap running.

I have to say with the buildup that Niacin did, I expected a little explanation of some sort. Before anyone chimes in with, "what did you expect for free" I did donate at least.

Also, a possibly better solution might be on its way from NerveGas:

"<NerveGas> we're very close to releasing our jailbreak/activation/3rd party app solution
<NerveGas> the dev team has a copy of the distribution for review
<NerveGas> and of course want to test everything
<NerveGas> you should be able to activate without an att sim"

Saw that in the Dev Team News over at Hackint0sh. The competition is heating up!

Jailbreak for iPhone v1.1.1
By NerveGas, Pumpkin, Edgan, drudge, dinopio, asap18
NO THANKS to Niacin: Get some help dude

DISCLAIMER

The iPhone Dev Team disclaims any liability of damage to your iPhone as a
result of following these instructions. While the instructions listed here
are believed to be safe and accurate, there is always a possibility that
your iPhone could be permanently damaged.

WARNING TO UNLOCKERS

The following instructions CAN NOT be used by those who have unlocked
their iPhones. Apple has designed the 1.1.1 upgrade to permanently brick
iPhones that have had their baseband modified to unlock the SIM.

-- DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU HAVE EVER MODIFIED YOUR BASEBAND --

INTRODUCTION

Jailbreaking iPhone software v1.1.1 is an involved process, but can be
accomplished with the documentation here. The following steps will be
explained in-depth. Please read them thoroughly before proceeding.

0. Downgrading to 1.0.2 (if necessary)
1. Preparing the iPhone for a jailbroken update
2. Performing a software update, leaving you with a jailbroken v1.1.1
3. Forcing v1.1.1 to mount read-write so you can access it
4. Installing SSH and BSD world
5. Activating with a Non-ATT SIM
6. Patching SpringBoard to allow third-party applications
7. Clean-up

STEP 0: DOWNGRADING TO 1.0.2

Certain steps must be run prior to upgrading to v1.1.1. If you have already
upgraded to v1.1.1, follow these steps to downgrade back to v1.0.2.

1. Make sure you have a copy of the v1.0.2 firmware handy. It can be downloaded
here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/061-3823.20070821.vormd/iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw

2. With the iPhone turned on, hold down the POWER and HOME buttons
simultaneously for ten seconds (until the screen goes dark). Then release
POWER while CONTINUING TO HOLD DOWN HOME for another 15 seconds.

At this stage, the iPhone WILL APPEAR TO BE POWERED DOWN, but it is actually
in a special type of recovery mode allowing software downgrades. If you
see the "Connect to iTunes" icon, you've placed the phone into the wrong
recovery mode, and will need to try again.

3. While continuing to hold HOME, launch iTunes. You should be prompted to
restore your iPhone. If your iPhone instead boots up, then you powered it
down instead of putting it into downgrade mode, so give step 2 another try.

Once iTunes is up, you can now release HOME. You will be prompted to
restore your iPhone (if you are not, try step 2 again). Hold down the
OPTION key (or SHIFT if you're running Windows) and click RESTORE.
You will then be prompted with a file selection window allowing you to
select a firmware file. Select the 'iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore.ipsw'
file you downloaded in step 1, and begin the restore.

4. After the restore is complete, you'll be told that the process failed, and
the iPhone will be in recovery mode. This is normal. Grab a copy of
NullRiver's Installer.app from http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/ and
attempt to install the Installer.app. This will cause your phone to boot
again, however the installation of Installer.app will fail (it's OK).

5. Congratulations, you're now back at 1.0.2. You'll need to get shell access
to move onto the next step. Since you have Installer.app right there,
just run the installer again. This time it should succeed. Now activate.

Drudge has prepared a package called Trip1Prepz, which is designed
for people having to downgrade. It will perform all the necessary
preparations from STEP 1 without needing to set SSH back up, etcetera.

After Installer.app has been installed, go to this URL in Safari:
http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/beta

This will prompt you to add a community source to Installer. Once you've
done this, you should see Trip1Prepz listed as a package. BEFORE
INSTALLING IT, connect to iTunes, and ensure that you have an 'update' or
'check for updates' button. This is important, because once you install
Trip1Prepz, iTunes will no longer give you an option to update, but
only restore.

Once you're up in iTunes, stay connected and install Trip1Prepz from
Installer.app.

NOW SKIP "STEP 1: PREPARING THE IPHONE FOR A JAILBROKEN UPDATE" COMPLETELY!

Alternatively, if you don't want to use Trip1Prepz, you'll need to
get going again with SSH and BSD world. This method will require that you
DO execute the preparation steps in step 1.

To do it this way, use Installer.app and install the "Community Sources"
package. This will add the "OpenSSH" package to the installer manifest.
Now install BSD Subsystem then OpenSSH and you should be able to get back
into your iPhone (root password is dottie). You'll also want to add
BSD Subsystem. Now move onto the steps below (do not skip them in this case).

STEP 1: PREPARING THE IPHONE FOR A JAILBROKEN UPDATE

NOTE: This step requires you to be at iPhone software v1.0.2. If you are
not, please see STEP 0: DOWNGRATING TO 1.0.2 before proceeding.

Before upgrading to v1.1.1, some preparations must be made. The v1.1.1
update re-jails the iPhone. We're going to use a little hack which will
keep 1.1.1 from being able to jail once you upgrade.

The way this hack works is this: An "update" in iTunes is unlike a "restore",
in that the /private/var partition is preserved. The iPhone jails itself
to /private/var/root/Media. We're going to move Media out of the way and
replace it with a symlink to /. This fools v1.1.1 into jailing to /, which
really is no jail at all. This will allow us to access the root filesystem,
which we're going to throw into read-write mode later on.

1. Connect the iPhone to iTunes! It is critical that iTunes already
recognize your phone and that you have the "update" button available to you
BEFORE making the changes below. This is because executing the steps below
will otherwise cause iTunes to go into recovery mode, which will NOT WORK
with this jailbreak. Open iTunes, and if you have a "Check for Updates"
button, click it. You will be prompted to upgrade to 1.1.1. Tell iTunes
to "Download Only"; DO NOT click "Download and Install".

Once you see the "update" button, DONT CLICK IT, but continue to step 2.

2. While still connected to iTunes, SSH into your iPhone while still at
version 1.0.2. If you don't have SSH set up, see STEP 0's steps four and
five to install OpenSSH.

Now execute the following commands:

mv /var/root/Media /var/root/Media.old
ln -s / /var/root/Media

Your Media folders should now look like this:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 Oct 10 12:06 Media -> /
drwxr-x--- 7 root wheel 272 Oct 10 10:51 Media.old

If it doesn't look like this, try again.

3. If you plan on activating later using a Non-AT&T SIM (or without iTunes),
you'll want to back up your existing copy of the lockdownd binary
(we'll use these later)...

cp /usr/libexec/lockdownd /var/root/lockdownd.1.0.2

STEP 2: PERFORMING A SOFTWARE UPDATE

Now that you've symlinked Media -> /, you are ready to perform an update to
1.1.1. This MUST BE DONE WITH THE UPDATE BUTTON, and NOT the restore button.
The update process preserves your /private/var partition, while the restore
blows it away (which will just re-jail you).

Click the UPDATE button in iTunes, and upgrade to 1.1.1

If you didn't listen and shut iTunes, you may no longer have an update button.
If this is the case, you'll need to delete the symlink, put Media back,
start iTunes, then repeat STEP 1 again.

I didn't "reply & quote" the above post deliberately due to it's length. When I look at the procedure for jailbreaking 1.1.1, quite frankly, it scares me to death based on it's complexity. But hey, that's just me. Certainly a good topic for "discussion" as you suggested.

It's almost as if Apple and the Dev Team are in collusion with each other! :wink: They must have come up with this 1.1.1 "solution" together because if it remains this difficult, iphone hackers/modders will go the way of the dinosaur. Or hackers will stay in the safehouse of 1.0.2 until some FW update becomes so irresistable, they'll come out and update without hacking.

Or AppTapp could automate the process with a one tap program! :tounge:

Well, as an update I am running 1.1.1, and jailbreak worked!

But good Lord what a convoluted process I needed to take on my Windows box.

I think I used a piece of all of the 1.1.1 jailbreak methods (Niacin's, the dev team's, etc.).

Actually, getting jailbreak complete was the easy part. Getting SSH and Installer up to speed was the rough part. Suffice to say I used Nate True's old SSH installer, with the updated iphoneinterface.exe from iBrickr 0.9, and then a manual copy of the final copy using iPhone Interface.

Anyhoo, there was more but for now I think I have it. Third-party apps work, SSH/SCP work, iTunes works, etc. I'm sure there will be easier how-to's in the coming days. As it is iBrickr already can auto-downgrade to 1.0.2 if need be.

which instructions did u follow?

Tinman
10-11-2007, 07:05 AM
which instructions did u follow?
I read them all to get an understanding of what is going on. What I found was this:

1.) Restoring to 1.0.2. This can be made easier by using iBrickr 0.9. This step isn't really necessary if a.) you are already on 1.0.2, or b.) you are already on 1.1.1 and would rather use Niacin's tiff exploit instead.

2.) Plant the symlink. The symlink hack is the true core to jailbreaking 1.1.1. If you are already running 1.1.1 you can just visit http://jailbreak.toc2rta.com on your iPhone and it will be jailbroken--no need to restore to 1.0.2 (and since the iPod Touch never had a 1.0.2 they have to use Niacin's exploit in order to jailbreak). If you are running 1.0.2 you can plant the symlink based on the instructions from the Dev Team.

3.) The next step is to use iPHUC to transfer a key file to the iPhone (rdisk0s1). This pretty much finalizes the jailbreak process.

4.) Since as of this writing there is no way to use AppTapp or iBrickr to install Installer.app or any other app, the next step is to get SSH working. Once SSH is working the needed Unix utilities (either just the ones you need, or the entire updates BSD subsystem) should be installed in order to finish the job.

5.) Once SSH is working, and Installer is installed and running, it's time to remove the symlink (if you don't remove it, iTunes either says you can't sync, or shows the total memory of the iPhone at 300 MB--this is cleared up once the symlink is installed).


Anyway, the actual steps taken to achieve these five critical steps might vary (Windows, Mac, etc.), but if you understand what you are trying to accomplish you should be able to adapt and get it done.

So far most apps seem to work just fine in 1.1.1. Notable exceptions are Sketches and BeatPhone. EDIT: BeatPhone 0.2.5 works fine, it was 0.2.4 that didn't work.

Sorry you had to do a full restore. Just as an FYI what caused that was the planting of the symlink. This (temporarily--you are supposed to undo it when done) changes the Media folder location so iTunes doesn't know how to sync to it, or sees the iPhone as only having 300 MB.

Right now it's probably faster to just restore, but in the coming days/weeks I would imagine there will be a way to quickly get up to speed so as to easily removed the symlink without needing to restore. You can of course do it now, but going through iPHUC and SSH might not be faster than a restore--particularly if you get stuck on a step.

No biggie as I always make sure to backup my contacts and such before I try to do something like this. I was just worried when my iPhone wasn't being recognized by iTunes, but after holding down home/sleep keys for 25 secs it put the phone in recovery mode and saved me from a near heart attack. restored everything and was good to go.

I was reading on engadget that there is an unlock and unbricking solution for 1.1.1 through iphonesimfree. can anyone confirm this?

Good to hear. And I've been hearing a lot of success stories with iPSF. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

And this has me a bit leary of ever using an unlock (modifying the baseband) from the dev team, as even one of their own seems to suggest they aren't too familiar with how it works:

I first installed OpenSSH using iBrickr. Then, using WinSCP, I used Username "root", and Password "dottie", along with my iPhone IP address as the Host Name, and SCP. Worked for me.

Are you saying that you are "into" the jailbreaking process and have already reached or passed the point where you have installed 1.1.1, when you're getting this SSH error? But initially, at the beginning of the process you WERE able to run SSH? Am I getting that right?

The key is to use nate's sshkit... not the one posted on those guides.

Tinman

For those having trouble with SSH/SCP in 1.1.1, under Windows, this is what I had to do to get it to work:

1.) I did indeed use Nate True's original SSH package, which is from July. Although I already had this package around I downloaded it again based on the instructions in the dev team's guide:
"For Windows:
1. Follow the instructions here:
http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/howto-install-ssh-on-your-iphone

NOTE: If you download Nate True's iPhone SSH kit you will need to
grab iphoneinterface.exe from his latest iBrickr release to
actually make it work."


2.) As instructed, above, I copied iphoneinterface.exe from iBrickr 0.9 into the folder containing the SSH package (the folder with sshify-windows.bat in it), overwriting the copy of iphoneinterface.exe that was already there.

3.) Even after doing the above, and using the correct password of "alpine" I still couldn't get past Connection Refused.

4.) Like the guide at MMi (Windows SSH under 1.1.1) noticed, I too noticed that the last file wasn't successfully copied when running sshify-windows.bat. That file was com.apple.update.plist. I used iphoneinterface.exe (in the SSH package folder) to putfile the file in question:
putfile /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.update.plist

5.) I was still not able to login with WinSCP (or PuTTY).

6.) I decided to clear out any remaining keys (from using WinSCP with my 1.0.2 iPhone--different key) and other settings in WinSCP. So from WinSCP's main screen I went to Tools-->Clean Up, checked all boxes, and then clicked OK. I setup my iPhone connection again.

7.) Success (mostly)! This time WinSCP did not try to use an old key and "eventually" connected. I quoted "eventually" as I would often get an "Invalid access to memory" error during the first login attempt. Hitting "OK" and logging in again produced the message "Error looking up user groups" but it still let me in.

8.) With flakey, but usable, SCP access now in place I quickly added BSD world, as suggested in the Dev Team's guide:
"2. Once you're in, you will also want to install the BSD world. NerveGas has built a new version of the BSD subsystem that doesn't require libarmfp.
Download and extract the following files:

http://iphone.natetrue.com/BSD_Base-2.0.tar.gz
http://iphone.natetrue.com/BSD_Extra-2.0.tar.gz"


9.) I did not use the Dev Team guide to actually install BSD world on my iPhone. Instead I extracted the above files into folders on my PC (e.g. the BSD_Extra archive contained bin and usr folders).

10.) I used WinSCP to copy the contents of each BSD world's folder on my PC to the iPhone. So the bin folder's contents was copied to the iPhone's /bin folder. Usr/bin files to /usr/bin, etc. Several files were already on the iPhone (from installing SSH). WinSCP barked and crashed if I attempted to overwrite them on the iPhone. So, one at a time, I deleted these files from the iPhone and added the versions from BSD world (getting picky at this point, but I figured I might as well go all of the way).


Anyway after that I was easily able to patch the springboard and install Installer.app.


I have now removed all traces of the above version of dropbear SSH and have instead used Installer to install OpenSSH. The SSH, as installed by sshify-windows.bat, seemed a bit flakey, and I had heard it was not the best SSH setup (as opposed to installing dropbear via iBrickr, which installs differently than via sshify-windows.bat, or OpenSSH).

So for us WinXP users that are "less than proficient"... can someone post a simplified... or proven step by step process for jailbreaking the 1.1.1 fw?

I know it's a bit of work, but I'm sure there are quite a few of us that are confused by the missteps and workarounds and just need a simple delineation of steps that actually work.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as are your efforts to make this process usable for the masses.

Well it looks like I pushed it too far. I thought I'd see if I could use iBrickr to send ringtones to my iPhone. From there I thought perhaps I could get it to work for installing apps. Well no version was able to install apps (didn't think so), but I did try sending a few ringtones. And they were sent OK, or so I thought. After restarting my iPhone the springboard was gone. Instead I get a blank screen with "iPod" where the carrier logo should be--just like on an iPod Touch. Uh oh.

Anyway, I just received a call so it didn't turn into an iPod. But I have tried everything, even restoring the original springboard (mine was patched) but that made things worse.

Now it won't even boot past the Apple logo (yet I can still SSH into it). Phone stopped working too. OK, restored the patched springboard and it appears to at least come back to the empty springboard, with Pod where carrier should be.

Obviously a preference has been changed somewhere, but I can't find it. SSH still works, BTW.

Anyone have an idea how to fix it?

Screenshots on the way...

Looks like I might have to do this all over again!
