True, also works great, when you do the installer part and the bar does not pass the halfway mark dont panic, you should get a apple circle spinning in the middle of the screen, now i paniced because it stayed there for 10 min, so i closed my eyes and did a hard reboot(hold power and home button)and sure enough 1.1.3 jail broken, installer says apps are installed but they are not shown, go to uninstall and uninstall everything, then reinstall everything. works
but?... anyone get the location fuinction in maps to work? mine keeps searching
Did not work for my phone. The iBrikr app ran fine, I went to installer and tried to install the 1.1.3 image and received a message saying my iPhone is not ready for the 1.1.3 soft installer. I've tried it 3x with the same results.
I looked at the iBrickr error log and don't see any errors.
************* 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. *************
So, it looks like the cell phone software needs to be updated via the real 1.1.3 in order to get google map positioning to work correctly. Ah well, hopefully it won't be too much longer before 1.1.3 jailbreak is released...

Ugh... I was *about* to take this post an hour ago when I decided not to. I thought somebody might comment better. Nope, I was wrong.
I was about to say:
Does it actually brick your phone? (iBrickr is NOT a good name)
