How to easily jailbreak 1.1.3 with the FULL jailbreak (Windows/Mac)

[mittenman]

That is normal. I also don't think iTunes is accurate as before I synced any iTunes media to my iPhone I checked free space via SSH. The media partition had only 4 MB (and that was due to the camera roll) even though iTunes claimed there was 195 MB of Other.

"Other" BTW is supposed to be anything on the media partition that iTunes can't recognize. FWIW I've had issues with Other even before ever jailbreaking--under 1.0.0.

Cool, thanx. I don't remember it being that much before 113. Went from jb112 to 113 to jb113. If it's normal, that's fine, it's just that I've got a 4gig and every byte counts!!

Thanks x666x, I used WinSCP to change owners and it now works great.

Be sure you can access your photos.

The only time Mail didn't work right for me is when I didn't get the jailbreak to work the first time through (no Installer icon), and then tried it again without doing a restore first.

Anyway I could be wrong but when that happened I think Photos didn't work either.

My point, and I might update the guide to reflect this, is that the jailbreak seemed much cleaner if it worked the first time through (after a fresh restore). So if this does apply to you, you might consider doing it again in one shot.

My update went smoothly via my XP/Mac install on the first go. Installer was exactly where it was before the rejailbreak, the same page and icon position. Photos worked, and everything synched, but for some odd reason /var/mobile/Library/Mail's owner was set to "0" instead of "501".

Type this at an SSH/terminal prompt:
df -h

That'll give you the real space on each partition.

Here's what mine looks like now (have already moved Applications to the Media partition via BossTool):


Meanwhile iTunes says I only have 877 MB free. Might try to fill the whole thing up to see if I really can't use all of the space.

It shouldn't need to be owned by mobile, and in fact none of my OEM apps are owned by mobile. The mobile user only needs permissions to execute it (0755), or write to it (0777) if it's a setting or whatnot.

I don't think, if the jailbreak went correctly, that you should have to do anything to Mail. This jailbreak doesn't set any permissions on its own--it merely replaces/alters fstab to free the iPhone from jail (and be able to execute on the media partition). My concern would be "what else didn't go right?"

The symlink for NES, etc., is to be expected as it's a problem on the app-side.

Actually, I'm impressed it's only down to a handful of apps that have issues now. I happen to use iNewsgroup a lot and really missed it when moving to 1.1.3. The author released a version he thought would work with 1.1.3 but it didn't (1.0.4--he hadn't moved up to 1.1.3 for a proper test). So I wrote him and within an hour I was testing 1.0.5--and it worked.

Got up this morning, synced then restored my 1.1.1 iPhone. Updated to 1.1.3 and then jailbroke it. Unbelievable how easy this was and everything works. Haven't found one glitch. The jailbreak itself took less than a minute.

Thanks again, Mike!

Waiting patiently for a Mac port... I only use Mac @ home, and I cannot do any of this on my Windows PC at work (our machines are severely locked-down; can't even install iTunes)...

Have you got:
SMSD
SMSNotify
CallD
Taskbar Notifier
Any Version of Customize

To work yet?

You should do a full restore (not update) to 1.1.3. A full restore wipes everything so you'll have a clean 1.1.3 with which to jailbreak.


Not necessary because the full restore will wipe them anyway (whereas an update would leave a lot of stuff behind--but not usable).

I should know this but I dont. Do I have to do anything to restore it to 1.1.3? In other words, when I plug the phone in now it tells me a new version is available. Do I cancel that and then click restore? Wont that restore me to 1.1.2?? Do I need to download 1.1.3 first, then do some kind of shift-restore thing??
Sorry for the stupid questions.
And thanks Tinman, I was waiting for you to post a guide like this for 1.1.3. You're posts are always dead on and very helpful. I used your method for 1.1.2 without any issues.
