Apple posts firmware v1.1.2 -- goodbye jailbreak!

Looks like Apple just published firmware v1.1.2 for the iPhone; hit the download link to grab it yourself because iTunes hasn't yet gotten wise to the fact that it's out. Details to follow, but don't expect jailbreak or the unactivated Safari workaround hack to still be functional, ok? (... aaaand we're watching our download speed drop as our readers are grabbing the file. Rockin'.) Update: TIFF jailbreak exploit is dead. Sorry people. More below.

Update: Ok, We're "sacrificing" an iPhone for you people. We'll let you know what we find.

• Extracting software... restarting... iTunes successfully upgraded to 1.1.2.
• The "slide for emergency" slider flashed through different languages while it was waiting to be plugged in again.
• It's activated, pulled the backup data, and restarted -- success! Officially on 1.1.2.
• Testing jailbreakme.com... looks like they broke jailbreak! Yep, it's broken alright.
• Not really finding any new features -- certainly no new icons, no voice memos, nothing obvious about disk mode. Anyone else finding anything?
• Looks like international keyboards are finally enabled! Score one for everyone overseas who can't use their now-relocked iPhone.
• A few reports are coming in that their iPhone is "much faster now" (not that we remember ours being slow at all before). Maybe Apple made some performance tweaks this update.
• Can anyone confirm whether TurboSIM is working with this update?

To those scouring the internets searching for a changelog or support sheet on Apple's site, don't keep it to yourself, ok?

[Thanks, Brett]

Can we return to the issue at hand. The new 1.1.2 update. After installing the new AppSnap...not the old one from few days ago. Today in the Installs is a new App Tweek called 'OKtoPrep' This apparentlly is a preparation for the 1.1.2 update to allow for Onetouch installation of the Newest AppSnap Applications or at least a Prep for a new wy in.

Has anyone installed 1.1.2 with OKtoPrep installed?

It does make it much faster but I am not sure if that is because of the restore. I noticed in engadgets comments they said not like theirs was slow. Does anyone else not have problems when they jail break it? When I add 3rd party apps or jailbreak my phone and I have had 2 so far it slows to a crawl and hangs and freezes alot. I would rather wait for approved apps if it is going to make my act like a windows machine every-time I jail break mine.

Hi all,

possibly a stupid question but I was under the impression the iphone didnt have Bluetooth? why is the logo in the pics?

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 9th 2007 6:41PM]

That's because it has bluetoth

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 9th 2007 6:46PM]

It has Bluetooth, but right now it's only to connect a headset for hands-free calling.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 9th 2007 7:04PM]

ah right thanks for the reply.

is it being shipped with bluetooth activated or was this discovered?

can its usage be expanded with 3rd party apps?

is this hardware in the ipod touch?

cheers

what is edgesuite.net? Is anyone worried this is not being downloaded from a real Apple server??

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 11th 2007 7:13PM]

Edgesuite is a service sold to Apple by Akamai. It's a content distribution network that places stuff like this in a data centre near you. It uses clever dynamic DNS to make the hostname resolve to an IP address that is near you. Companies like Apple do this to reduce costs and improve performance. Service provides (like my employer) host them because they reduce our costs too.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 11th 2007 7:24PM]

Oh Akamai used to use a different URL back when I was working with them. Makes sense though, thanks.

you can add events to your calender w/o jailbreak

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 10th 2007 10:13AM]

Touch-Commander.com, provides sliding "one touch" access to phone calls, emails, SMS messages, calendar functions, pictures, music, videos and other applications and commonly used content.

Touch Commander is much the same as the finger touch scrolling, browsing, and spinning of a three dimensional interface by the finger, that is found on the Apple iPhone and the TouchPhone by HTC.

AND it appears you can add your own ringtones again with this version!

I hate fanboys! There is nothing wrong with the iphone or WM6 devices. They both server their purposes. I have used WM for years, and enjoyed the flexibility of 3rd party apps, but as someone already mentioned I really only use my phone for email, and watching over my appointments, contacts, and tasks. BUT I was so tired of carrying multiple devices, so I got an iphone so I could have my tunes and do business too. I have been introduced to the first truly enjoyable hand held web browsing ever! I love the fluidity of the device and ready to useability of the whole thing. It is awesome.

Heres the thing... iphone was released unfinished to get it to the masses just prior to the holiday season. They will make billions off of the current iphone. THEN they will release a much better version (iphone2?) with many things that people are gripping about (no IM, no flash, shockwave, other plugins for Safari, native 3rd party apps)and make even more money off of all the people (like me) that want it all and their itunes too. While it is all about feature rich experiences, and looking cool while in line at Carl's Junior for us, what it is really all about is making money, even for guru Steve! Apple is a corporate beast too (just like that other OS company) lest we all forget... (winces at the fanboy smack).

I have been enjoying my iPhone since I recently purchased it. I waited a little while to see how it was going to work out seeing as they launched it a bit early. Apple did a great job distinguishing themselves in a market that is very tough to break into.

It would be nice if they would release a security fix for running as root on the iPhone. I wonder if this is the reason I cannot download pics from my emails to my phone or save a picture off of the internet? Why isn't there any multi-media messaging?

Other things I would like to see as well are:
fwd capability of txt msging.

Landscape feature for all apps. I love the larger keyboard that way.

Complete bluetooth capability for iTunes. When I listen to music on my headset it still plays from the external speakers.

I would also like to see my background picture all the time...not just when I slide open the phone.

They should release a theme creator as well. I loved using it with my Sony phone. Sony provided it free of charge.

A larger gig hard drive like the touch.

I am excited to see what the sdk is going to bring to the phone. People can harp on the iPhone all they want...it holds its own.

Why wouldnt Apple (BTW I'm also one of those who thinks i got a right to say what Apple should DO)sell their iPhone off the counter as any other pda/phone device currently on the market. I mean, let's do the simple maths here. iPhone sells for $399 (US) and apperantly you have to sign up with AT&T with plans going as high as $149/month over 24 months, out of which Apple makes 25% at the most. That is $894 + $399 = $1293 (the price of an N95^)at the best outcome for Apple. if the device was sold without locked in silly contracts, i'm sure Apple would've sold a lot more than the disappoining numbers so far. I'm using one now and everyone that checks it out wants one. However, none of them would sign up for expensive contracts when telecommunication prices are record low, so stuff the iPhone. Plus they can buy them unlocked for $600(as I did) and use it with their $30/month contract ... bargain!

Is it just me thats noticed the best new feature in 1.1.2 that you can now see if your getting GPRS or and EDGE connection, the symbol is a blank square if your getting just GPRS and the blue square with the letter 'E' in if your getting EDGE.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 16th 2007 1:06AM]

apples 3rd party application stuff is gonna be bs. how about you just install them out of the box? like wm6? sounds good to me

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 24th 2007 4:38AM]

I have tried the 1.1.2 update and it sucks. It brick the phone and restore to 1.1.1 is almost impossible.

So to get back and restore to 1.1.1 look here.

What happens when you install jailbreak, does the phone completely stop working, or will it just go back to the original settings.
