Questions before you upgrade

I have an iPhone. Is it safe to upgrade?
First off, I can't guarantee that an upgrade will go as planned. However, the upgrade does not make irreversible changes - you will be able to restore your iPhone from any state the upgrader leaves it in (unless your iPhone is already broken). To see what you can do with your phone, consult this list:

The iPhone can-I-upgrade list
# 1.0.0 to 1.0.2 phone: You must upgrade to 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 before continuing. If your phone has been unlocked (modified to work with a non-AT&T carrier) with anything other than iPhone SIM Free, you will not be able to proceed without re-locking your phone by upgrading to 1.1.3. Otherwise you're clear.

# 1.1.1 phone, unmodified: You need to head to "jailbreakme.com" to install Installer.app on your phone. After that you can perform the 1.1.3 soft upgrade.

# 1.1.1 phone, with Installer.app: You're clear to do the upgrade.

# 1.1.2 phone, unmodified: You need to do a downgrade to 1.1.1. Then go to 1.1.1 unmodified instructions.

# 1.1.2 phone, modified through Oktoprep and jailbreak.jar: You're clear to upgrade.

# 1.1.3 phone, unmodified: You need to downgrade to 1.1.1 first. Then go to 1.1.1 unmodified instructions.

# An iPod Touch, any version: This upgrade is not for you. Look for a separate release from the real Dev Team for that.




Questions / problems while running the image builder


iBrickr says my phone is not jailbroken.
Re-download iBrickr - I re-published it to not require a jailbreak.

iBrickr uploads the image to my phone very quickly. You said it would take 10 minutes!
That generally means that the creation of the image failed. iBrickr needs 300 megabytes of free RAM on your computer (this is a requirement of sdelta3 which does the patching). Try quitting unnecessary applications or using a more powerful computer. Also try re-downloading the application (I made some minor changes recently).

I'm using the Mac version and Run_This says there's no default application. What should I do?
Open Terminal.app (Command-Space, type Terminal, press Enter) and drag Run_This onto the black window that comes up. Then follow the instructions.

I have a PowerPC Mac. Can I run the Mac image builder?
No. I have no idea how to compile PowerPC binaries. If someone wants to compile them and send them to me I will post them.

I run Linux. Can I run the image builder?
Yes! Download the Mac version and re-compile vfdecrypt, dmg2img, and sdelta3 using the sources included ("make" in each folder should suffice). Then the script will run for you except for the final iPhone upload - upload 113_upgrade_image.bin to your phone using SFTP or something, to the /var/root/Media/softupgrade folder (which you will have to create).



Questions / problems while running the 1.1.3 soft upgrade from Installer


I don't see the "1.1.3 soft upgrade" package in my Installer.
Make sure you have the "Community Sources" package installed, and hit "Refresh" in the Sources tab. It should show up under "All packages".

When I install the package, it says "Main script execution error". When I hit OK it looks like it crashed.
This happens to some people, but it doesn't appear to affect operation. Your phone should update in about 10 minutes and reboot by itself. If that doesn't happen, you'll need to restore and try again.

When I install the package, it completely crashes my phone with the progress bar at halfway.
This is normal. It's updating your phone - don't touch it! Just leave it plugged in and let it do its thing. It's okay if your screen turns off too.



Questions / problems after the last reboot


Help! My phone is stuck at the Apple logo!
First, give it some time. Sometimes it just takes a while (up to 4 minutes) to boot. If that didn't work, your upgrade has failed. You need to follow the restore instructions further down.

Help! My phone has the "Connect to iTunes" graphic!
Your upgrade has failed. You need to follow the restore instructions further down

Why does the Google Maps My Location feature suck?
The 1.1.3 soft-upgrade does not upgrade the iPhone's cell phone radio. The new radio has features that aid Google Maps when there is no Wi-fi signal available. So the Maps app only has your Wi-fi positioning information to go on.

Why don't iTunes Store previews work?
This one I'm not sure about. They work for me. *shrug*

Does iBrickr work for ringtones any more?
Not right now. But iPhone Ringtone Maker works great with 1.1.3. It's put out by a friend of mine, and it works great. Totally worth the money.



PANIC: EVERYTHING IS BROKEN AND I NEED MY PHONE PLEASE HELP ME


If you're having a mental breakdown over having broken your phone (or me having broken your phone depending on how you look at it), this section is for you.

Yes, this solves the scrolling-looping issue too.

The one size fits all make-everything-better instructions
# Download the iPhone 1.1.1 firmware directly from Apple. Save it somewhere memorable.

# Plug in your iPhone to your computer.

# Press and hold Power and Home buttons on your phone until it asks you to connect to iTunes.

# In iTunes it will say you have to restore your phone. You do! But not to 1.1.3. Press and hold the Shift key (if on Windows) or the Option key (if on Mac) while pushing the Restore button in iTunes.

# If you did it right, you should be able to select the iPhone 1.1.1 firmware from where you saved it.

# Let iTunes do its thing.

# If the update fails very quickly, then you need to make the phone more receptive - check out further instructions below.

# If the update goes through all its steps but fails at the end with an error (1015 generally), you may just need to run iBrickr (the normal version) to tell it to boot.

# Now that you have a working 1.1.1 phone, you can proceed to upgrade using the list at the top of this page.


Failed restore instructions (Windows only for now)
If your restore fails quickly, you have to make the iPhone a little more receptive. Grab the classic iBrickr, and open it up while your phone is in the "Connect to iTunes" mode. There will be an option
to "Begin the downgrade to firmware 1.0.2". Click that one. Your iPhone screen will turn white and iTunes will again complain about restoring. Do the Shift-Restore trick again, and this time it will work, minus the 1015 error, which iBrickr can get around (restart iBrickr when it happens).

Need an iPhone that can hold my >100,000 songs :p
I'm still dreaming.

This mite be because people run the installer part with the iphone connected to the PC? when I run the jailbreak process a second time with the cable unplugged on the same phone it didn't show this error.

Also at this point on there is another Option people could take to get the modem firmware cleaned up from the update if they want to stay at 1.1.2fw for now

"Only works if you have the 3.9 bootloader"

1) Jailbreak with *#307#
2) Run installer and add http://i.unlock.no to Source
3) Install BSD Subsystem
4) Close Installer Open Settings/General/Auto-Lock and set it to "Never"
5) Open Installer again and Install the Baseband Downgrader Package from "Unlocking Tools"
6) When its Completed restore in itunes to 1.1.1 (With No Errors this time)
7) Jailbreak with *#307#

You will then have 1.1.1 Version with a clean copy of 04.01.13_G modem Firmware

Then Just run the normal process for updating back to 1.1.2


Nice Work TatesMan

Hey,
I upgraded to 1.1.3 and now youtube won't work.It just says "cannot connect to youtube" and I cannot view any videos but when I go to my bookmarks in youtube they work fine. Any help?

iBrickr uploads the image to my phone very quickly. You said it would take 10 minutes!
That generally means that the creation of the image failed. iBrickr needs 300 megabytes of free RAM on your computer (this is a requirement of sdelta3 which does the patching). Try quitting unnecessary applications or using a more powerful computer. Also try re-downloading the application (I made some minor changes recently).

Tried 5 times, on 2 different computers. 2gb space free and 450mb space free. Any solution?

I no this mite sound stupid but when I first run the update to 1.1.3 I had loads of sh*t problems, Youtube - Wifi Passwords not saving - Edge Playing up.

So Last night I restored to 1.1.1, cleaned my modem firmware up with baseband downgrade pack and started over with the update again

This time so far everything is working ok

You are still probably making the same mistakes - Have a rest away from the phone - Come back a bit later and then READ all the steps and be sure you understand them - Be sure your phone can be updated - If your iPhone has the wrong baseband then this update isn't for you. READ READ and READ again

I have an OTB 1.1.2 phone i upgraded accidentally to 1.1.3 then i managed to downgrade the phone and to 1.1.2 but the BB was still at 4.03.13_G. and unable to use the phone function with turbosim. now i tried the new ibricker to upgrade to 1.1.3. now telephone is on 1.1.3 but i cant still use the phone function with turbosim. does it suppose to work or not?
