Things are getting competitive in the iPhone Hacking world and as you would expect with competition, things seems to getting a lot easier with every new method that is being released which is excellent news for iPhone users.
Folks at iJailbreak.com have just released a graphical UI for jailbreak method for iPhone firmware 1.1.3 from the iPhone hacking genius, Zibri which I had posted a few days back to make it a much easier method to Jailbreak iPhone firmware 1.1.3.
If you are new to the iPhone hacking world then jailbreaking provides read or write filesystem access on the iPhone, allowing installation of unofficial third-party iPhone applications.
Disclaimer: Before I go into the details it is important to mention that before you jailbreak your iPhone, be sure to backup in iTunes so you can restore your iPhone if something goes terribly wrong and since I have not tried this method I am not in a position to confirm either way so do remember that hacking your iPhone is completely at your own risk.
It is also important to note here that though users have got this to work there are some users who are still experiencing problems jailbreaking with this method.
Folks at iJailbreak have just released iJailBreak 0.5.3 a graphical UI for jailbreak method for iPhone firmware 1.1.3 from the iPhone hacking genius, Zibri. However, their method currently works only for Mac users and supports only iPhone and not iPod Touch (strange since it is apparently using Zibri's jailbreak method though they are currently working on it).
They have also recently informed us that iJailbreak works only on Leopard. If you do not have a Mac running Leopard then check the method to Jailbreak iPhone firmware 1.1.3 released by Zibri for both Mac and Windows users.
If you have Mac running Leopard then all you need to do is download the iJailbreak software from this link, expand it and then launch it with your iPhone connected and follow on-screen instructions. iJailbreak also includes the unlock mechanism which apparently now works on all iPhones.
If you face problems with this method or do not satisfy the system criteria required for this method to work then do check the method to Jailbreak iPhone firmware 1.1.3 released by Zibri.
As always don't forget to drop in a line in case you have given this jailbreak method a shot in the comments.
Thanks James C on the tip!
We already have iPhone Hacks readers CerealKiller and key giving thumbs up to the iJailbreak method along with James while Fernando reported that he was getting some Applescript error. Thanks guys for the feedback.

Worked like a charm!
Does this mean that i can go and buy an iphone right now to a mac store and be able to jailbreak and unlock it? Or does it only apply to iphones with previous firmwares like 1.1.2 and such?
@Jason:
For the Zibri method, it does not matter when you got your iPhone. I just tried it with an OOTB 1.1.3 bought 2 days ago, and it jailbroke it perfectly fine. There was only ONE error which was Youtube not working, but here is a fix for it:
The first thing you have to do after jailbreaking is installing BSD Subsystem and Open SSH in installer.
After that, download this file: http://soundsgood.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/files/youtube.zip
Then, you have to use a program like WinSCP (Windows) or Independence (Mac) to access iPhone file system.
Put them in the /var/root/Library/Lockdown/ folder with WinSCP or Independence.
If you don't know how to do this, I suggest going to HacktheiPhone.com for tutorials.
Also, you should see an activation record folder under lockdown. Delete any file in there.
Exit the program. Reboot your iPhone and you should have a working You Tube program now.
I now have a 1.1.3 completely jailbroken
Hummm,,,,, sounds good but my valentines sends his love..always thought the man who road round on the horse came to collect the taxes but he also comes bearing gifts
I-independence can jailbreak 1.1.3 at one click…
http://code.google.com/p/independence/
is there a sim unlock yet?
i have leopard running and had an OOTB 1.1.3 iphone. using Ijailbreak jailbroked the phone really quick (i was impressed, cuz it took about 1-2 min..if that) but as Daniel above mentioned youtube doesnt work.
i tried doing the fix through basic scp via terminal and youtube wouldnt work.
also a side effect i noticed was that sometimes id get a signal from AT&T and sometimes it wouldnt…i rebooted the 1st time i noticed it and it worked but after another restart it just wouldnt detect a signal (i even went outside)
for now i restored back to apple's 1.1.3.
same issue as you phil. it jailbreaked just fine, i even installed some of my favorite third party apps but when i switched off the phone and restarted it, i couldn't get a connection to AT&T at all so i restored back to 1.1.3.
The iJailbreak works great. In addition you can start from 1.1.2 (BL4.6), unlock, upgrade via iTunes to 1.1.3 and then unlock again via iJailbreak.
The best and fastest so far. CONGRATULATIONS.
to the guy who wrote this article – it works with OS X. i think they were trying to get the PowerPC processers to work with OS X. The Intel works just fine. I have 104.11 – not leopard – and it worked in about 45 seconds for me. only thing that doesn't work is YouTube. i'll try the fix for that right now as i wasn't too concerned with it earlier.
also I used the .52 version cause it was the latest one out at the time (yesterday afternoon) when i stumbled across it. so nevermind to my comment, cause i wasn't using the most updated version. didn't realize they came out with another version shortly after I jailbroke my phone….my bad
jail break and unlock worked great…
just updated to 1.1.3 with itunes then used the app to jailbreak then unlock.
youtube/itunes all work well.
only problem is there are now no APN settings for edge in Settings… im using a PAYG o2 sim… anyone a way to get edge working?
For those having trouble with activation and getting service, deactivate your iPhone using independence, then open iTunes and you phone with show up on the side bar, then on your iPhone it will say iPhone activated, and there you go! Thanks everyone for everything!
Okay i tried it yesterday and everything worked great expect my mail kept crashing so i restored it today with itunes and tried it again and everything works flawless, what i did was i checked everything in the ziphone lastest version expect iEraser BL.3.9 baseband since my iphone is OOTB 1.1.1. i noticed from a lot of people with problems they only check activate and later tried to ssh unlock into the iphone. Just check the unlock, activate, jailbreak and the Verbose boot(debug) as well,you will see everything it does to jailbreak and activate you phone so if there is an error. well enjoy
Sweet this works no downgrading…Just download the latest version of independence
http://code.google.com/p/independence/
Download cyberduck for your mack
http://cyberduck.ch/
Put your phone into recover mode launch independence click on install ssh etc
follow the instructions
Once its done download the installer from here and put it on your phone
http://www.pure-mac.com/iphone/installers.html#appsnapp
and you are done…Everything work fine…
Enjoy! It an't over till the fat lady sings..
Next hack will be how to install an internal CDROM player on the mac mini
Now what's the deal with the Ringtones? I got nothing, already tried changing the permissions but still no sound! I am using cyberduck to put them in the folder. any ideas?
change it to m4r
Use the itoner…..
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/itoner/
Leave message at the sound of the beep wait 1 minute
Sorry this is clearer..
In the Finder, change the file extension from ".m4a" to ".m4r"
Everything was fine, the jailbroke worked well. But when tryin to fix YouTube with Daniel method posted here, I lost the signal from AT&T when I deleted the file under the Activation Record Folder. Had to start everything from scratch.
I listed instructions above if you are having problems with service. It happened to me and I solved the issue. I tried changing the format to m4r and tried m4a. Neither work. I will try itoner but wasn't sure if it worked for 1.1.3
Ok some clarifications as it is important:
1) Used Leopard and Intel processor
2) Used on latest releases of iTunes (7.6(29))
3) connected OOTB 1.1.2 when iTunes is open and let iTunes show you the activation page
4) then open iJailbreak and it jailbreak and then unlock when asked
5) when finished, go onto iTunes and it shows the main page with creation of a iPhone profile. Then hit the update to 1.1.3 and update
6) finished update, relaunch again iJailbreak as before and chose unlock
7) everything works to me (including iTube)
I also tried with an old 1.0.x and BL3.9. it was unlocked with iphoneSIMfree and jailbreaked. updated straight to 1.1.3 with iTunes and then unlocked.
Works as well.
hope useful
Tried this yesterday and worked a dream. I had unlocked 1.1.2. Did the itunes update via latest one. Then ran ijailbreak. Like a little gem it was finished in no more than a few minutes.
So if any one is going to try a method. This is the one.
I have tried Nate's one and that was not too shabby but i was not 100% with it. rolled back before all those bug fixes came out. The official one was a waste of many hours. I gave that a good go. Several attempts. I think it needs to have its title downgraded to "sometimes work for some people but that some people was not me"
keep up the good work.
For german speaking people my successful instruction:
—————————————————–
Habe gerade mein 1.1.2er (AnySim) vormalig 1.0.2er OOT USA Import auf 1.1.3 gebracht mit der offiziellen ziPhone Methode.
Für alle die das noch vor sich haben, hier mal meine Anleitung mit der alles problemlos gelaufen ist und sich auch später keine Programmbugs zeigten (Google Maps und Youtube gingen auf Anhieb).
=================
1. Egal was ihr auf eurem iPhone drauf habt, schaltet es ein. Wenn fertig geladen, drückt Ausschalter+Home gleichzeitig bis es rebootet. Wenn es das Apfellogo zeigt, Ausschalter loslassen und nur mehr Home gedrückt halten bis Steckersymbol sichtbar.
2. An PC anschließen wo iTunes läuft (egal ob 7.5 od. 7.6) dort auf Wiederherstellen 1.1.3 gehen. Das dauert etwa 5 Minuten, falls danach ein Error auftritt (103) dann wiederholt das nochmal!
3. Danach iPhone hochfahren lassen, abstecken, ausschalten. Danach Schritt 1. nochmal machen.
4. ziPhone starten, Jailbreak, Activate, Unlock auswählen (Bootloader Flash auswählen wenn ihr kein 1.1.3 OOTB habt) und auf GO klicken.
Dann werkt das mal so seine 3 Minuten und am iPhone sollte ein Terminalcode ablaufen, wenn nicht, wiederholt alles ab Schritt 3.
Danach prüft noch ob Google Maps Locate me und Youtube geht und seit happy
Lg Stefan
terminal is not working on the iphone. If you change the password and restart the phone it goes bonkers also snap shot app doen't work…
If your applications crash the phone and you need to do a re:store do your restore once.
1. after the restore is done take the phone off the cradle launch the mail app,
2. once the mail app is launched click on the home screen on the iphone then put the phone back on the cradle do a restore again
3. When the phone loads onto itunes put the restore backup from yesterday or today then you are done.
It seem the only solution to reactivate the mail.app when restoring back to apple default.
It was fun but I think I will wait for a bit…
Dang that Zibri Gui method for windows worked toooo easy.
This way is GREAT alot easier than downgrading. Just click on jailbreak and click start and wait about 1-2 min and your done! easy as pie!!!!!!!!!!!
im having problems with this can some one help me ?
Unlock your iPhone easily starting with Ziphone v2.4. It provides a simple all-in-one GUI interface for users who need more control over the jailbreak process. Activate, unlock and jailbreak your iPhone for new features.
so i have to use zip phone first ? and unlock it…then i can jail break it ?
I have the 1.0.2 version. Do I need to upgrade to 1.1.x first or just update directly to 1.1.3 ?
does this let you use it on Tmobile? flawlessly?
This thing was ridiculously easy.I updated my iphone to the itunes firmware 1.1.3. Then I downloaded the ziphone GUI program to my computer. Turned off my iphone and held the home button while plugging in the usb cable and continued to hold it until it showed a picture saying to basically connect to itunes. Then I opened the ziphone GUI and checked activate and jailbreak and hit start. IT WAS MAGICAL!
dizzy, I try to download ziphone but fail. can you email me a copy ?
Sorry Jonny Cakes, I'm asking you wherether you can email me the full set of ziphone ? I try to download but fail. my email alexlks8@gmail.com Thanks.
I have a jailbroken/unlocked iphone all compliments of Ziphone jailbreak 1.1.3. Been using it for sometime but i downloaded some apps today and it required me to restart my iphone now its stuck on the apple sign with a revolving wheel thing, when plugged into my computer it vibrates intermittenly…HELP, what the hell have i done?
Daniel,
I also used ZiPhone to unlock 1.1.3 and it is working fine except youtube not working. Can you guide me to the fix?
Thanks
Paresh
