Here we go people! 1.1.3 is now achievable on your jailbroken/unlocked iPhone running firmware 1.1.1 or 1.1.2
It is recommended you uninstall ALL your previous applications on the iPhone before doing this upgrade since the application installation directory has changed in 1.1.3. Re-install them once on 1.1.3 to avoid errors and conflicts.
Note: This Jailbreak method is now outdated as Nate has not updated the issues with this method. Use this method as an alternative to this guide.
What you need:
- Download iBrickr Special 1.1.3 Jailbreak Edition from: here
- iPhone 1.1.3 Firmware
Step One
You must have a 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 jailbroken phone with Installer.app installed.
Step Two
Connect your iPhone to the computer
Step Three
Extract iBrickr 1.1.3 from the file(ibrickr-jb113.zip) we downloaded earlier. Make sure you extract it to the desktop!
Step Four
A folder will be extracted called ibrickr-jb113. If you have Vista/2000 from this folder right click ibrickr.exe then select properties from the popup menu. Otherwise if you have XP procede to Step 6.
Step Five
Click the Compatibility tab and check Run this program in compatibility mode for:. Then select Windows XP (Service Pack 2 from the drop down. Finally click the Apply button.
Step Six
Now double click ibrickr.exe to launch the application.
Step Seven
When iBrickr launches click the Check my phone! button.
Step Eight
You will get a message telling you which firmware version you are currently on. It will also let you know if your phone can be upgraded to 1.1.3 jailbroken. If it can, click the Do it button.
Step Nine
iBrickr will download the necessary files. You will then be presented with the option to find the 1.1.3 firmware on your disk or to download it from Apple. Click the Download it from Apple button or choose the find on disk option if you downloaded 1.1.3 earlier.
Step Ten
Once the firmware has been downloaded you will be prompted to confirm the beginning of installation. Click the Do you have to ask? button to continue.
Step Eleven
Again once everything is ready you will be asked to confirm installation. Click the Ready to go! button to begin.
Step Twelve
iBrickr has now completed its part of the job.
Step Thirteen
Press to launch Installer from the Springboard.
Step Fourteen
If you get prompted for an Installer Update click the Update Now button.
Step Fifteen
If Installer was updated click the Ok button.
Step Sixteen
Press to launch Installer from your Springboard again. (If you had to update).
Step Seventeen
If asked to Donate click the Donate Later button for now.
Step Eighteen
Press to select the Install tab at the bottom of the screen.
Step Nineteen
Press to select System from the list of Categories.
Step Twenty
Press to select 1.1.3 soft upgrade from the list of Packages.
Step Twenty One
Press the Install button at the top right of the screen.
Step Twenty Two
Press the large Install button that appears.
Your iPhone will install the Software Update package and then reboot. This takes a few minutes and it looks like the phone is stuck at the “installing package” bar and at the spinning circle later on, but do not touch the phone during this time it will reboot on its own when the process is done.
At reboot you get a “Edit Home Screen” message. Click the Dismiss button and you are now on 1.1.3:
After getting on 1.1.3 make sure you refresh the sources in installer and update installer and BSD subsystem 
Making “Locate Me” feature in Google app work:
Get into installer and install the “Locate Me” Application found under utilities. Run this app and once it finds your location your google maps then the locater in the app also starts to work. If you do a hard reboot of the phone then this gets reset and you have to run the installer locate me app again.
Hybrid View Now works by using the guide above:
Now for some housekeeping :
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE THAT UPGRADED WITHOUT UNINSTALLING THEM FIRST AND NOW HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE APPS, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Install MobileFinder (if you already had it, uninstall it and install again)
2) Launch MobileFinder from the springboard.
3) Tap “Settings” and turn on “System File Access”
4) Tap “Finder” then “Up”. You should be in the file system now.
5) Navigate to private/var/root/Library/Installer/ and delete LocalPackages.plist
6) Reinstall Community Sources, BSD subsystem and OpenSSH (The username is mobile and the password is alpine).
7) Reinstall the rest of your 3rd party apps.
Getting back some space:
You should also delete the 300+MB file (113_upgrade_image.bin) from /var/root/media/softupdate that was used during the jailbreak. SSH into your iPhone and delete that file. Alternatively you can also run the cleanup package that has recently shown up in installer under the system category
Turning off SSH:
Once you are done using SSH, don’t forget to turn it off to save battery life. Download this app and use it to turn SSH on and off. To use it SSH into your phone and drop the extracted folder SSH.app into the applications directory.
Questions / problems while running the 1.1.3 soft upgrade from Installer:
I don’t see the “1.1.3 soft upgrade” package in my Installer.
Make sure you have the “Community Sources” package installed, and hit “Refresh” in the Sources tab. It should show up under “All packages”.
When I install the package, it says “Main script execution error”. When I hit OK it looks like it crashed.
This happens to some people, but it doesn’t appear to affect operation. Your phone should update in about 10 minutes and reboot by itself. If that doesn’t happen, you’ll need to restore and try again.
When I install the package, it completely crashes my phone with the progress bar at halfway.
This is normal. It’s updating your phone – don’t touch it! Just leave it plugged in and let it do its thing. It’s okay if your screen turns off too.
I have a 1.1.2 jailbreak and unlock with AnySim , after this upgrade to 1.1.3 , can i still using a non AT&T Sim???
[Comment ID #22852 Will Be Quoted Here]
Yes it will work
Everything work fine until Step Twenty Two. I have error “Main Script Execution Fail” so i try to manual execute in SSH mode but got a message Permission deny.

umm, everythings great, but 1.1.3 upgrade is not on installer, tried refreshing sources, no deal. Any ideas?
Hey,
Does this also UNLOCK…as in can u use non at&t sims…
I know its repetitive and ur main banner reads that but nun of the steps are leading to actually UNLOCKING the phone… is this part of the soft upgrade step?… also is anyone running a non at&t sim?
Backing up my applications now and trying this out.
I am on Fido in Toronto. So I am a NON-AT&T user.
I have unlocked using anySim.
SO! I’ll let you know if it all works. Settle all your questions.
7:28 – Hit ready to go
Uploading, still
Seriously, I said it would take a while. Just wait it out. It might be a half hour or something.
7:39 – iBrickr done
7:41 – Installer / 1.1.3
Mainscript execution failed!
7:42 start again (with itunes open in the background)
7:46 – Done patch
7:46 – Do you have to ask (Firmware downloaded last time)
7:47 – Patching 1.1.3 firmwre
7:47 – Ready to go
7:58 – Done
7:59 – Refreshing sources (installer)
8:00 – Install
FAILURE
Sorry guys no idea
I have tried this, and run through the iBrickr part with no problems. However, the Installer does not list the soft upgrade. According to Finder the 113_upgrade_image.bin file is in ~/Media/softupgrade, but it doesn’t show up in Installer (I am on v3.0b3). Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Nice article, but no mention of Jailbreak 1.1.3 application for Mac OS X users?
Jailbreak 1.1.3 software for Mac OS X available -> http://devices.natetrue.com/iphone/jb113.dmg
I’m really tempted to try the upgrade but I need to see more success from others first. Good tutorial though. To you Neville Bartos just use a real OSX that actually gives you control over your machine and you could do the cool liittle things like this.
Did it, got an error at the very last stage but rebooted and phone works fine
phone works fine? on what firmware and does it have all the features of 1.1.3 if its runnign that ? **fingers crossed***
I’m having same problem after stage 19, I cannot find the soft upgrade anywhere in my system menu. I have tried this several times. I have downloaded the firmware update and I select “Find on disk” but it doesn’t ask me where the file is, it just goes straight onto the next part. I have “Download it from Apple” and waited while it installed on to iPhone and still no menu package…Any ideas?????
Hey I updated last night with my fido 1.1.2 unlocked anysim 1.2u iphone and it upgraded just fine…I’m now on 1.1.3 with everything running just fine (including ringtones)!!!
thanx that was what i was waiting for.. gonna do it now…
[Comment ID #22879 Will Be Quoted Here]
Thats because the unlock from 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 sticks when you follow this method. No need to run anySIM again
[Comment ID #22922 Will Be Quoted Here]
ALL the features work except hybrid view in Google Maps. Locate me works as well
[Comment ID #22923 Will Be Quoted Here]
For people having issues with not finding the package in installer, uninstall community sources and re-install it. Then Look under the System category in installer
I dont have 1 gb of free space on my c drive can i extract it to another drive?
I have a possible solution for the step 22 problem, where it says “Mainscript execution failed!”
Not at home right now, will post again in about an hour and a half to see if it works.
I bought a 1.0.2 iPhone back in November and since updated and jailbroke to 1.1.1. I just soft updated straight to 1.1.3 and everything is working fine – all settings are still there and no files were deleted (‘cept I had to reinstall all 3rd party apps) Still unlocked to Orange UK too. Definatey worth the hour it took.
HEy y’all,
I face the Mainscript execution failed! problem too…..
I then pressed the home button and a circle came up….
It just kept rotating…. so i rebooted the phone and I ran the soft upgrade agian…
IT WORKED!!! Im running a functional 1.1.3 with features.!!
calls working sms working !!
ALthough the soft upgrade is still on my install list if i try to do it again it says i need 1.1.[12]..
Thanx soo much..
Ill get my phone back to use and update u all on the functionalit of features…
u can email me at [email protected]
Okay, I found the fix for the Mainscript execution failed!
I started playing around in files.
Log into the phone using an FTP program. (I use Cyberduck on my Mac and WinSCP on my PC)
In your /private folder there are two more folders. /var and /etc
Go into /etc and there should be a file there called fstab
Open this in an editor. I did it on my PC using WinSCP (right clicking and using “Edit”). It opened in plain text so I assume TextEdit can open it as well.
The second line will probably read
“/dev/disk0s2 /private/var hfs rw,noexec 0 2″
Remove the “,noexec”
The line will now read
“dev/disk0s2 /private/var hfs rw 0 2″
(No quotations)
Save it or send it back overwriting it. (The file should have moved from something like 70 bytes to 65)
REBOOT THE PHONE!!!!
Go back to installer and badabang badaboom it installs.
I’m not sure about anything else yet…. I’m still in the middle of updating… but it’s gone farther than before… so I figured I’d post this…. I’ll be back if something else comes up.
Thanks for that informative post Ben, i’m sure it will help many people
Do’es this work with iphones using a turbosim or like
turbosim work with 04.03.13G?
[Comment ID #22951 Will Be Quoted Here]
If sim hacks like those worked in your previous 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 phones then they should work in this one as well.
Big issue here,
Had someone use my method and had it work perfectly.
However on my OWN iPhone, I’m stuck on the apple logo during reboot.
My screen was garbled after the install I hit okay and then bang stuck on the boot screen. Not sure what to do. I’ll post again.
I here offer all respect and appreciation to everyone who worked very hard to achieve a great unlocking to the iPhone.
I have followed all steps in here till #22, the phone had re-booted as expected, but never came back to life. The silver apple logo stayed on the screen for so long. I tried to re-boot it again and again.. but it never reached the OS stage.
I had to restore back to 1.0.2 then update as usual to 1.1.1
I am afraid now to re-try updating to 1.1.3 , it took me 4 hours to get everything back to my previous status.
edge doesn’t work…
email setting get wronged up…3
ring tones gone
waiting for someone to fix em
I did all the steps as followed, after step 22 the phone rebooted as written above, but it is now stuck at the apple startup image and it wont come back to life, it is at a point where the pc does not detect it either, how do i fix this?
Hi, ipod touch 16gb.
followed everything, but on step 22 it installs Very quickly and then it reboots … then when i slide 2 unlock … nothing has changed
And i checked the file ben was talking about and i didnt need 2 change the string, it was already done :S
lol
Will I get to keep all of my installed apps if I update?
just upgraded to 1.1.3 from an unlocked 1.1.1, worked perfectly.
EDGE is not working, everyone says hybrid view doesn’t work, it works for me. Unlock is still working, using prepaid AT&T SIM right now. Calls work, everything works! 
[Comment ID #22957 Will Be Quoted Here]
same here dude…how did you get your phone to work again?
Heres the procedure to go back from the boot-scrolling text-boot loop:
1. Put your iphone in the dock, with the USB cable disconnected from your computer.
2. Make sure the phone is off (The only way I got the phone to turn off is to hold the power button + the home button for like 15 seconds)
3. Once you know the phone is off, press and hold the HOME button then plug in the USB cable to your computer, keep holding the HOME button the whole time.
4. Next it should put It should now show the sync logo on your iphone and it should say “connect to itunes”.
5. Now restore your phone to 1.1.1, and you should be GOOD TO GO!
Good luck!!!

its the same with ipod touch, or need a special tool?
i have firmware 1.1.1
Took all day,
I restored to 1.1.1
Then to 1.0.2
Then back to 1.1.1 (1.1.2 didn’t work with it)
From 1.1.1 to 1.1.3
THEN 1.1 anysim (the old one from i.unlock.no)
It said it failed, but I rebooted and just popped in my sim and it just worked.
WOO!
To fix edge just go to Settings=>General=>Reset=>Reset Network Settings.
No email fix yet
No ringtones fix yet:)
Worked great for me,
The only thing i wasn’t aware of is that summerboard and customize doesn’t work on 1.1.3 yet, so no themes right now.
Also lost my sms and calls list.
The Taskbar notifier doesn’t seem to be working right. I have no new txt, but the icon on the bar says i do. (Yes i restarted the phone)
Also when i connect my phone to iTunes, it doesn’t detect it…but that could be my computer needing a restart, or maybe my itunes is too old?
Guide updated! Now Hybrid view also works in 1.1.3
Enjoy Guys!
Hey y’all..
My hybrid works default it didn’t not work atall??!!
For the ringtone, or email issue. Add http://sleepers.net/iphonerepo to your installer source, and install the Tweaks(1.1.3) > 1.1.3 Ringtone Fix. That work for me

But out of the blue i cant send sms’s or calls..

HELP!!
OMG!!!! icant belive im such a loser…
Guess what– I was out of balance !!!
And i thought my phone was jacked …
My 1.1.1 jailbroken iPhone isn’t updating to 1.1.3 properly. I run iBrickr and it downloaded all the files, patched them, and uploaded them. It then says to run 1.1.3 soft upgrade (which is now at 2.0 instead of 1.0) I hit “install”, it downloads, then says “Your iPhone is not ready to upgrade. See “More Info”. So I click on “More Info”, but its just a blank page.
Anyone know how to get past this?
I followed all the steps with no problems until.
At reboot you get a ?Edit Home Screen? message. Click the Dismiss button and you are now on 1.1.3:
After the reboot I did not get the message and my software is still 1.1.2
Any ideas
[Comment ID #23068 Will Be Quoted Here]
The process didnt go through with ibrickr…make sure your ibrickr directory is on your desktop for it to work!
