1.1.2 jailbreak software released

The kind folks at Conceited Software / TouchFree have just dropped their 1.1.2 jailbreak GUI on the freedom-lovin' iPhone world. According to Erica at TUAW, the OS X software siphons data from your downgraded (or pre-existing) 1.1.1 iPod touch or iPhone, upgrades it with the Jailbreak, installs Installer.app and SSH.app, and then ups the whole shebang to your device. As mentioned, you'll need to have 1.1.1 on your system (if you've upgraded or purchased a device with 1.1.2 installed), and this won't fly on units that have been "hactivated" (i.e., it only works with iTunes-activated devices). Hit the read link and learn all about sticking it to Apple... proper-like.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

So how long before we don't have to play the game anymore?

I'm glad my touch is jailbroken, but I wish there were more apps for the thing. I think the iPT is the reject of the Apple products among developers

[starkruzr @ Nov 12th 2007 5:47AM]

Watch for the software situation to get even better when the developers can start writing kexts for the things.

Can you say "full Bluetooth stack?"

Am always amazed as to how quick people are quick to crack a soft/firmware...Because i think from the little i know about these kind of stuff, u have to be able to understand its architecture before you make any changes. Big props to those intelligent minds.(am no condoning there actions i judt find the speed and their ability to do such amazing)

It just works. :)

Ok, I've always stood up for engadget reporting iphone news and never complained about too many posts but I have to say all these jailbreak posts are getting REALLY annoying. It's almost like every other post is something about jailbreak. I get it! Hopefully this will save you the trouble engadget: in the next 2 weeks apple will release another update which will, again, break jailbreak. Then a day or 2 after that, there will be a new version of jailbreak that will fix it again. Then the process will repeat for, o, lets say, 6 months. Can we have fewer posts about it now?

[FrankliD @ Apr 27th 2009 11:48AM]

Ok, I've always stood up for guys like Mark and never complained about too many anti-engadget posting iPhone stories but I have to say that all these comments about too many iPhone stories are getting REALLY annoying! It's almost like every other comment is something about how annoyed someone is at all the iPhone-oriented stuff, yet clearly there's a huge volume of other tech-oriented stories to read, yet these annoyed readers only focus on the iPhone stories for some reason. I get it! Hopefully this will save you the trouble Mark: in the next 2 weeks apple will release another update which will, again, break jailbreak, Engadget will post about it with some annoyed readers commenting on yet another iPhone story. Then a day or 2 after that, there will be a new version of jailbreak that will fix it again, and Engadget will post another story about it and yet again some annoyed readers will comment on yet another iPhone story again. Then the process will repeat for, o, lets say, 6 months. Can we have fewer whiny comments about this now? Don't want to read it? You don't have to! Skip over it if you grasp that concept.

pwned.

[Inanimatt @ Dec 15th 2007 7:24AM]

Surely there's a better way to personalise Engadget than complaining about articles you don't want to see any more?

[Anton @ Nov 12th 2007 12:30AM]

The hackers are really getting good at this, fast releases.

[websyndicate @ Nov 12th 2007 12:34AM]

This is so turning into the PSP scene again. I rememeber being into the PSP so much and that was a big cat and mouse game. The hackers always won.

I found your statement quite amusing and did have an audible chuckle, but I would appreciate if you explained yourself so that I may fully understand your desired message.

[scott @ Nov 12th 2007 1:21AM]

sorry if my translation is rough, i'm rusty in retard..but I think he's trying to say that the stock photograph they use is of the iphone with earbuds. the photograph never features the ipod touch with earbuds. (sorry if i'm off, but again, it's been a long time since i've had to use retard.)

[Reader @ Nov 12th 2007 2:52AM]

I only made it through Retard 2, after that I couldn't keep up with the class.

Wouldn't it be easier to you know, just use a smartphone?

Wouldn't it be easier for you to, you know, just not comment?

[T-Bone @ Nov 12th 2007 10:22AM]

Actually, no. I have a PDA with WM5 and I don't have any idea what inspired someone to mix a phone in with that POS OS.

[Don Warrington @ Nov 12th 2007 4:55AM]

Why are we strangly drawn to apple products, i mean i am not an addictive person in any way, but its like a drug one finds "you must have at all cost". iphone, really its not that good when you look at the specs, crap camera, 2.5G if your lucky, limited media file formats, small storage, sim locked, the list could go on. Come on STEVE J, Have you put somthing in the water....

UN-Happy Brit who would gladly swap his outstanding FREE N95 on Web n walk Plus 5 hours talk unlimted HSDPA 3.5G on T-mobile UK for one on 02 twice the price for less than half as much and pay for the phone.

Oh yes and just to add T-Mobile UN-Locked my phone (£15) so i could swap sims in poor sig areas, Sweet touch a

[Jamar @ Nov 12th 2007 5:12AM]

Sort of. For what it does it's rather decent. If it doesn't do what you want and you're too squeamish to do the jailbreak yourself, in China phones are sold pre-jailbroken and unlocked so that you're not the one risking the possibility of bricking your phone.

Then again, China's the country where you can ask someone in an Apple reseller how to install Leopard on your average PC and they'll gladly do it the best they can (give it a quick once-over first, tell the customer that not everything will work, or for someone's custom rig, they'll say "You'll need to swap out this for this" and etc- truly above and beyond what Apple does in America). Mmm, I just love China sometimes.

[Scott @ Nov 14th 2007 12:28AM]

So when I update this I won't have to jailbreak it right ?

[Mike W @ Nov 14th 2007 12:29AM]

When I jailbreak my iPod Touch will I still be able to update it in the future? If I can't update it, then how can I update it when I have the jailbreak?

[freddie @ Nov 18th 2007 4:20PM]

[kabs @ Dec 14th 2007 5:07AM]

Hi, I bought an iPhone a week ago. It came with the 1.1.2 firmware out of the box. Can I jailbreak this yet??

[erik @ Jan 15th 2008 3:41PM]

to downgrade ipod touch ( sorry for misspellings im on my ipod right now) all you need to do is download the ver. 1.1.1 software( i found a link for the downloads in the apple forrums funnily enough) and save it to your desktop. Then go into itunes and view your ipod. Go to the page where it gives you the option to upgrade the ipod or restore it. Press the shift button on the keyboard and hold it. Now you press the restore button. It should come up with a screen giving you the option to choose a file. Go to where you placed the ver. 1.1.1 software and select that. Press ok and let your computer do the rest. This method works about 90 percent of the time. The first 1.1.1 ver software i tried was a fake just so you know. Try to find the ver. 1.1.1 software on apple.com if you can.
