iPhone: Jailbreaking 1.1.2 – This time it WORKED!

223 Responses

1. I’m glad it worked for you this time. Is Independence necessary if you’ve already got a jailbroken 1.1.1 phone? Could I just run OctoPrep and the update to 1.1.2?

3. @ Chris,

   Good question. No, it is not required. I was listing out steps to go from a 1.1.2 phone to a 1.1.1 phone, jailbreak that, prep for upgrade, upgrade to 1.1.2 and then Jailbreak 1.1.2.

   If you already have a Jailbroken 1.1.1 phone, just start from step #13.

5. i love you

6. i love you

7. so if you already have a 1.1.1 jailbroken phone and you install oktoprep via appsnapp, the only thing you need to is just connect to itunes and update? or is it more complicated than that?

9. @ Apple Whore,

   Gee, thanks!

   @ ian,

   No, you need to probably start from step #13 above. If you just do an update, you will reset your device to un-jailbroken and you will need to start from step #1 above. Read through the instructions. You need to have downloaded the 1.1.2-jailbreak application as well and have that all prepped.

11. To michael:

    Ok thanks I’ll give it a try I appreciate the work you did for this. Also, is there any chance at all this will brick my phone or will it simply restore it to 1.1.2, just in case I don’t do something right.

13. @ ian,

    Well, I cannot guarantee that you will NOT screw up your phone. Doing anything that I have listed here you do at your own risk. I posted how it didn’t work for me before on my previous post. However, the Apple “restore” utility did get all of my settings back. Just be sure before you do anything that you sync everything, including your photos. It can get very scary during the process as you get many different types of errors. If you scare easily, you might not want to do this. There will probably be a better process that comes out soon.

    However, I have spent several hours testing this with my only iPhone and while I failed at first, I was able to successfully restore to 1.1.2 and then was able to do the process again with success.

    Good luck to you. Let me know how it goes and if there are any parts of the instructions that need to be tweaked (as I wrote this fairly quickly).

    Thanks,

    Yep, for some reason they only developed it for Intel. Not sure why aside from the fact that they were rushing this out the door to us end-users.

    However, I did mention that it was “Intel-only” at the top of the post. I will highlight that in red so that others won’t fall into the trap. Maybe we should say “This Jailbreak sponsored by Intel” (grin).

    Hmmm….sorry, I only have an iPhone (unless some one of my reader base wants to donate one to the cause – grin – then I’m sure I could figure it out and post another How-To article).

    Glad that the process worked though!

27. I had hoped that your step-by-step would solve my problems. I am fine until I try to launch iNdependence. It won’t accept the location of the Device.Framework folder, and I can’t get it to accept any of the files enclosed within the folder. SO, I downgraded iTunes to 7.4.2 and tried the older version of iNdependence. No dice, either. I can’t get that to work either. Unless you have a pearl of wisdom, I’m stuck back at 1.1.2 until somebody comes up with a more foolproof jailbreak for 1.1.2.

29. @ Jeff,

    It is a bit confusing setting up the iNdependence stuff. And you followed my mini-steps at the bottom of the post as well? I too found it confusing. Once you have uncompressed the 7.4.2 MobileFramework you need to launch the iNdependence MobDev application. It then prompts you for the location of the 7.4.2 framework. So, you JUST need to select the folder. Then another “selection” box pops up asking for the location of iNdependence itself. It’s a bit confusing. So, 2 location-selection steps. Then iNdependence will be updated. You can confirm that it is working by launching it. If it doesn’t complain, you are golden.

    Hope that helps. LMK if it works.

31. Hi!
    I spent 11 hours yesterday trying various things…wondering if we put the libreadline.5.2.dylib file into the user/local/lib on the iPhone or on the MAC? And if so, do I need to downlaod cyberduck or something?
    Thanks!

33. @ Michael,

    I went back and re-traced and double checked my process, and tried it all again. When I got to the MobDev application, I selected the mobile framework folder, and it kicked me right back to select the location again. I find myself visiting the “One Infinite Loop” of trying to select the mobile framework folder! Maybe the cause of this is something particular to my system.

    I’m done trying for now. I’ll wait for a more Dummy-Friendly jailbreak to be released. This experience has been so frustrating–since I followed the recipe closely.

    Thanks for your feedback and assistance~~keep up the good work. It’s helped some, and I’m sure it will help more people before the sun sets.

35. @ larry,

    Yep, that is a confusing one. You put that on your mac. Here is what you do…
    1) Go into your mac’s terminal application and type “open /usr/local/lib/
    2) That “should” open a window on your mac that will allow you to drag or copy the libreadline file to that directory
    3) That’s it!

    In terms of Cyberduck, you don’t need that for anything (unless you later want to transfer things to your iPhone via sftp). It works pretty well once you have ssh on your iPhone and if you use the Bonjour service, it is super easy to connect to it (at least it was for me).

    I did that and I get this message:

38. @ Jeff,

    Man, I feel your pain. Here is another hint. Look at the top of the select boxes when they open. I can’t remember what the first one said, but the second time the select box came up (after you select the framework folder), it says something like “select iNdependence”. That is where I think you have to actually select the PROGRAM, not the directory. (Again, I’m doing this from memory.)
    I will see if I can recreate the steps and take some screenshots.

52. @ Michael,

    Thank You Thank You Thank You! Your last tip was the one I needed. The MobDev Tool does give two file choose finder windows. The first one is titled “Mobile Framework,” the second is titled “iNdependence.” Once I selected the framework folder and then the iNdependence location I was able to complete the downgrade to 1.1.1. I’m restoring right now, then I’ll jailbreak and continue the process. Unless you hear from me again, your instructions got me where I needed to be.

    Best,

    Jeff

    Try just the /usr/ directory. Then try the /usr/local/ directory. It could be that you don’t have a “lib” directory. Then you will have to create that directory (probably using a unix command of mkdir).

62. When Patching iNdependence, the dialog boxes are deceiving at first. When You select the MobileDevice framework folder, the dialog box will appear to flash. What has actually happened is that the save to dialog box quickly replaces the open dialog box and you think that it failed to open the MobileDevice framework folder. It fooled me a couple of times.

    You are missing the libreadline.5.2.dylib file.

    The file can be downloaded from:

    http://rapidshare.com/files/61509655/opt.zip

    After unzipping the file, go to the MenuBar in Finder,

    Go ->> Go To Folder ->>

    at the prompt, type /usr/local/lib and then press Return.

    This will open a new finder window at the correct directory.

    Open the opt folder you just unzipped and navigate:

    opt -> local -> lib -> libreadline.5.2.dylib

    drag the libreadline file into the finder window you just opened.

    once you do this you will be able to get past the not connected message you’re receiving.

    @ iphoxesdotcom,

    First sorry about the name spelling previously. If you are getting a “permission denied” you might not be an administrator on that computer. So, either log in as an admin and try it or in the terminal window, type “sudo open /usr/local/lib/” (without quotes). You will need to know the admin password to be able to do that though.

    Try that and let me know if it works.

    @ James,

    Yes it is confusing. That is why I updated the mini-instructions at the end to include screenshots.

    @ Jeff

    AWESOME! Glad to hear you had success! And thanks for filling in with the “tech support” while I got my dinner out of the way. I hadn’t thought of using the “Go To” menu for that…good one!

    @ Larry

    AWESOME x2! Maybe I should set up a PayPal donate button somewhere (grin). Google Ads just aren’t quite cutting it.

    @ John

    Well, when iTunes automatically relaunches at that step, you probably get prompted to restore your files from a previous sync. Just do that. I’m assuming that you downgraded from 1.1.2 to get to 1.1.1. Doing that messes up the modem firmware, thus crippling it and preventing it from connecting to a cell tower or Edge. That is why you need to have a wireless connection in order to do the 1.1.1 jailbreak stuff at jailbreakme.com.

    Does that make sense?

That is why you need to have a wireless connection in order to do the 1.1.1 jailbreak stuff at jailbreakme.com.

    Does that make sense?

    Sorry, I did not try this on a PC. But just to let you know, it did take a while on my Mac…like 10-15 minutes (I didn’t time it). I would’t kill the process. Has there been any progress?

    @ Geof,

    No problem! Glad I could help. Give the story a DIGG and/or click on some ads (grin). I added a Donate button for PayPal in case some millionaire decided to reward me for my time (HA!). It’s late and I need sleep.

91. Ok, the moment ALL PowerPC Mac users have been waiting for!!! It worked! You have to use the iphuc.ppc in the Jailbreak 1.1.2 download and the fstab and iphonefs directory from here:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/61505779/Desktop_-_Jailbreak.zip.html
    (but don’t delete the iPhuc you download) and add these to the same folder as iphuc.ppc — now just follow these instructions:
    http://www.iphonealley.com/news/unofficial-1-1-2-jailbreak-instructions?s=e74cde15b9d9a5ed54b2b159092ef10f

    This assumes you have the /lib file installed, and jailbroke 1.1.1 and oktoprep installed and then upgrades, NOT restored to 1.1.2…

    Awesome! Mission accomplished.

    @ iphoxesdotcom,

    Sorry that you are still struggling. First, you should be looking for that path /usr/local/lib/ on your MAC and not your iPhone. Second, the /usr/ is a directory, not a file. Third, try this:
    1) Open terminal
    2) Type in “mkdir /usr/local/lib/”
    3) If you get an error saying “File Exists”, then you already have the directory created. If you don’t get an error, then it has created the directory.
    4) In Terminal, type “open /usr/local/lib/” and that should open the proper directory.
    5) Drag the libreadline.5.2.dylib file (or copy it) to that directory and you should be good to go.

    Lastly, thanks for the kind words. Be sure to DIGG the post, click on Ads, Donate, or spread the word (end shameless plug).

105. @ John,

     The problem with dragging it is that I don’t believe it will actually put it into the proper folder (namely the usr folder). So try this in terminal
     1) Type “open /usr/” –> should open the usr directory. what is listed there?
     2) If “local” is listed, just open it through the GUI (not terminal) and see if you can just create a directory called “lib” there
     3) If “local” is NOT listed, try to create it through the GUI there and then create the “lib” directory in that.

     You are on an Intel Mac right? And logged in as an administrator, right?

     You need to be all the way at the highest level possible. So, in Terminal, type “pwd” and that will give you your path to your current directory (where you are working in). Remember that command.
     Then, type “cd” without anything else. That should dump you into your User home (/Users/username/).
     Do a PWD there to be sure that it is only 2 levels.
     Then type “cd ../../” which should take you to the root.
     Type a PWD and you should see your path as just “/”.
     From there do the who mkdir stuff mentioned previously.

     When you do the commands in Terminal, try prefacing them with “sudo” to log you in as the root admin. So, for example, “sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/” and you will be prompted to enter your admin password. See if that works.

148. Hey Can you please help me. I am exhausted trying to do this. I did one of my iphones properly but the second one when I go to jailbreak.jar it gives me an error saying “you can only use this utility by using OktoPrep before updating 1.1.2”

     So I figured that I dont have the file in my directory. I worked on it for 3 hours and I still cant figure it out. This what I did

     Hitesh-Batra:~ hiteshbatra$ cd /
     Hitesh-Batra:/ hiteshbatra$ pwd
     /
     Hitesh-Batra:/ hiteshbatra$ cd
     Hitesh-Batra:~ hiteshbatra$ pwd
     /Users/hiteshbatra
     Hitesh-Batra:~ hiteshbatra$ mkdir /usr/local/lib/
     mkdir: /usr/local: No such file or directory

     Its not making the directory, There is no local folder only lib, I dragged the libreadline file into the lib folder and restarted it its still showing me the error.

     I am a beginner user of terminal. Also I cant make a folder of local in the usr directory through GUI.
     Please Please help me

     the key to get rid of “no OktoPrep installed” error is to:
     1. Switch your OS X to English (English on the first place) and to log out and log in.
     2. Select English as language of choice in your iPhone.
     3. NOW run jailbreak.jar

     Have luck this time ;)

156. Thanks for your reply but English was the first choice on my mac os x and I restarted it a couple of times. I cant do anything with my iphone cos its stuck on the “connect to itunes” sign. Not “Activate on itunes”.
     Is the “no Oktoprep error” and “no Iphone connected” error the same. If it is I guess I’m missing the libread file on the directory step which I cant seem to figure out.

158. @ Hitesh,

     It looks like you were very close to getting the stuff set in the terminal. Did you look at the instructions that I posted at the end? Read through those and try the terminal stuff again. I think where you went wrong was typing “cd” which put you into your home directory (“/Users/hiteshbatra/”) when you should really be in the rood directory (“/”). You get there by typing “cd /”. Then if you do a “pwd” command, you will see that the path is “/” and not “/Users/xxxxx/”.
     So, try to follow the instructions at the end of the post. It looks to me that you will need to create the “local” directory will need to be created as well.
     In terms of your questions about Activation and No Oktoprep error, I believe (trying to think back) that once you do get the jailbreak in, you will be able to Activate through iTunes.
     Are you double-clicking on the jailbreak.jar? But try to get the libreadline item in to your Mac if you can.
     Also, this later post does have a better installer mentioned, however if you are in mid process, you might have to try to finish what you have started here.
     Sorry if it is hard, it did take me quite a few tries to get it to work (you need to have a few hours to spare).

161. Hey thanks for your help. But im still stuck. Sorry im taking so long.

     I managed to get the libreadline file to the usr/local/lib/
     This is what I did after I copied the thing

     Hitesh-Batra:~ hiteshbatra$ cd /
     Hitesh-Batra:/ hiteshbatra$ pwd
     /
     Hitesh-Batra:/ hiteshbatra$ open usr/local/lib/

     Its showing the file is there. Now when I double ckick the jailbreak.jar file its STILL showing the OktoPrep error. And Itunes still doesn’t detect the iphone. So I cant go forward and backward. And the iphone restore by pusing the home and sleep thing still doesnt work (itunes doesn’t detect)

163. I’ve tried to download the 1.1.1 firmware from so many places, and they are all the same file. But every time I download it, my iMac automatically unpacks the .zip file and it turns into lots of files inside 1 folder. I can’t pick this folder to use to restore my iphone in iTunes, so I can’t downgrade. I have tried changing the extension on the folder to _Restore.ipsw, _Restore.ipsw.zip… nothing works.

     Please help, I haven’t seen anyone else with this problem and it is very frustrating.

     just switch off “Open save downloads” or something like that in General tab of Safari’s Preferences. It handles that unwanted unzipping :)

168. HI. I tried this and IT WORKED! but for some reason my EDGE is broken now. anyone else had that problem? I installed a bunch of other stuff as well so I will do a system restore, try this again, then see if my edge works (without installing a bunch of 3rd party apps first)

171. Confirmed. Beware people! this method breaks EDGE on the O2 network. Do not try this method if you want “Could not activate EDGE. You are not subscribed to EDGE” message. Restoring to 1.1.2 proper fixes the problem. Don’t know a workaround at this point.

173. Ok. i found these instructions at the Iphone-elite wiki, follow them in order to get edge working again!

     If you’re using O2 you’ll now have an activated, jailbroken iPhone with 1.1.2 firmware (again) and a working phone.

     However, VisualVoicemail and EDGE will not work properly – this is easily fixed, simply install BSD Subsystem and OpenSSH using Installer.app and then SSH into the iPhone and type the following two commands;

     rm /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.carrier.plist

     ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/O2_UK.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.carrier.plist

     rm -f /var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

     Reboot your iPhone, and all going well you’ll now have EDGE and VisualVoicemail working again

     You now have a 1.1.2 O2-UK iPhone with all the third party apps you could want. Enjoy :)

214. like it was before, after jailbreaking my iphone, i’ve been experiencing crashes after awhile. sometimes when i use safari it hangs for awhile then takes me back to the main menu screen. after a few tries the iphone restarts. it’s not just safari but also on other applications like when i try to call, sms, etc. things start to work again after it restarts by itself or when i restart it myself then a bit later when i use any of my applications my iphone hangs, crashes, and/or restarts again. is it just the instability of third party softwares? but how come i don’t read any issues regarding this? also the only thirdparty stuff i have is the installer, springboard, customise, and vnotes. please help.

     I’ve also got the language choice set to English on the iPhone.

     (Windows Vista) – so many folks have succeeded – I am going crazy not being able to get this completed – any suggestions welcome!

220.
