Jailbreak for 1.1.3 is out for the iPhone (this doesn’t work on the iPod Touch yet…) and I will be live blogging my experience here at AppleiPhoneSchool.com. Once I have it figured out see our Mod/Hack page for steps to Jailbreaking 1.1.3!

Hey Doug,
If you want to move your applications to the Media partition (like how BossTool does it), you can follow these manual command-line steps:

Im having a problem with my EDGE it says “could not activate EGDE your not subscribed to EDGE.” My safari was working fine untill i jaialbroke it to 1.1.3. does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks
There’s a youtube video using the same special file from natetrue but using the ipod touch. It worked though.
Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEgk7tBhkWQ
i reckon dont update is the smartest move, as so many error seems happen afterward.
does anyone know if this works for the iPod nano yet??? I have the red one with the big screen if that makes any difference. I can’t wait!!!
I’m with owen (comment #27) I’ve closed iBrickr and restarted my phone twice – then freshly opened iBrickr back up – but every time i hit check my phone it says its not jailbroken. I’m on 1.1.1 (3A109a) as I have been since i broke it with jailbreakme.com. I saw a few people having this problem on modmyifone earlier… any fix known for sure yet???

“I highly recommend launching the Installer and adding sleepers.net/iphonerepo as a Source. They have a folder called Tweaks 1.1.3 that contains many bug fix programs you will want to add for EDGE, email passwords, et cetera.”
Brooke and doug i did the update and i was sort of pending on what happened to you guys and everything works i have the exacts same problem with google maps though and i had to uninstall everything but i don’t mind thanks guys
Doug i don’t know wether you have figured this out yet but summerboard doesn’t work becuase it says you have to have 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 and neither does the old version but i am not stressing because i believe they will release one for 1.1.3
neither does customize
i install 1.1.3 step by step it, i have installed 1.1.3 perfectly, but after a uninstall from a app is resetting my phone. and now cannot open . there is only apple logo on screen.
I have try hard reset and i can shut it but it cant power on please help.
Sorry about my english.
Hey guys,
So finally we have the new and “improved” 1.1.3! well there are alot of problems being reported and i dont think the dev team is currently working on anything since they have had this major breach in trust within crew members… i.e Nate! customise is coming out with a newer version for 1.1.3 and so is summerboard!
all in all the upgrade to 1.1.3 is simple easy but i realy dont think its worth is sicne they will be realeasing the full version within weeks.
Doug and Brooke, You guys rock..
I just jailbroke my phone from a previusly jailbroke 1.1.2 and found all my apps missing from the springboard. I then uninstalled and re installed what I could and finally did a reinstall of the BSD subsystem
also…after re-installing the BSD Subsystem, I un-installed and re-installed the Boss Tool and was able to move my wallpaper, ringtones and applications…freeing up space back to 53MB free now…because i was already getting out of disk space messages.
I also noticed that my settings and contacts were missing
Then….last night whle I was trying to enter my first message, the wife got mad at me for messing with the phone so I put it down…
So…this morning….I found that all my applications were still installed and the settings and contacts were back but none of the applications were listed in my un-install list in the installer.
I don’t know what caused everything to come back…likely the Boss Tool shortcut thing to the other partition.
I am now going to install what I can and un-install it until I get everything matched up on the install and un-install lists.
Hope this helps
After un-installing and re-installing and re-un-installing, I found that the following will not re-install or un-install…
Customize
SMBPrefs-Summerboard
DropCopy
SendSong
iPhoneHome
The BossTool seems to have re-installed and works just fine…so far…
Found a glitch….My Calendar and Maps are no long working….They launch and then close right back.
good work, brother
