You shouldn't have upgraded to 1.1.3. From what I understand, you cannot downgrade and then jailbreak. At least for now.

You're going to have to wait until a process to jailbreak 1.1.3 is released, which the Dev team stated they won't until the SDK is released (late February) in hopes that Apple won't find a way to block the jailbreaking, thus will be usable when a worthwhile update is released for the iPhone.

I wish i never would have upgraded.

now it lookes like i will have to wait untill then....

but thanks for the information.

Just wait someone will figure it out.

Just wait someone will figure it out.

The Dev team has figured it out. They have released videos as proof. And they released this so hackers won't release their findings so Apple won't patch it when you really want it, with the release of the SDK. 1.1.3 users are going to be SOL until late Feb.

1.1.3 users are going to be SOL until late Feb.

I wouldn't consider 1.1.3 users "SOL" of anything. Fine, they can't Jailbreak, but Jailbreak apps are honestly overrated in terms of quality and functionality. I had a Jailbroken 1.1.2 Touch, and gladly upgraded to 1.1.3 for a Mail client that actually functions correctly with Yahoo Mail's push IMAP and the improved Google Maps.

The functionality from those two apps outweighs everything available in installer.app except the NES and GBA emulators. But I honestly don't miss those.

yeah, i mean i gues i can wait untill later feb

Im just hoping that i will be able to with my phone,

this is just plain

im just a college student wanting to have something different from everyone else,

but just the simple things i wanna do..

I used to work for apple..

Apple ipod that is

my buddy works for iphone tech support, and he doens't know much more than me about jail breaking

but hopefully when info comes up it leaks to me fast enough that i can get it done ! =]

im just a college student wanting to have something different from everyone else,

So import a Japanese phone.

IMO, wanting to have something different rather than what works is stupid. (And I'm a college student too!)

If you can get through, here is a process to downgrading the iPhone from 1.1.3 to 1.1.1. It was a news article on The Unofficial Apple Weblog.

I warn you, there are a lot of steps: http://www.hackthatphone.com/113/iphone_downgrade_113.html

that is not what you think it is. It is a process to get the 1.1.3 apps (well, reorganize icons and webclips) on 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. It is not jailbreaking 1.1.3.
