Yeah… After I had a working jailbroken phone, and installer.app didn’t show up, i restored back to 1.0.2 and added another hour of frustration working to get it back. Finally I was back to where I started, and used SCP to install it. The new version 3 of installer is really nice, and I’m glad that they are separating the 1.1.1 sources from the older stuff.

Update: Summerboard works again, but not all of the features that were in 1.0.2 are still in the 1.1.1 version. Customize still crashes on load and drops back to the home screen.

Use iNdependance to copy over installer.app once you have 1.1.1 in place — the SSH server it installs will do the trick…

Okay… So I now have a jailbroken and activated 1.1.1 phone. The only problem is that the “Restore” to 1.0.2 I had to do to downgrade erased all my third party apps. And I then did the upgrade and rejailbraked 1.1.1, only to discover that there is no apptapp installer for 1.1.1. So a new downgrade later, jailbrake 1.0.2, prepare for 1.1.1 upgrade, attempt to install installer.app, and it failed. No bootstrap.

So… Restore to 1.0.2, jailbrake, activate, then installer.app, then ssh, then prepare for 1.1.1, then upgrade, then jailbrake & activate once again… At least that’s the plan. We’ll see if it works.

Had a 1.0.2 iphone, jailbroken, activated, but not unlocked. Used the new 1.2.2 iNdependance to do the pre-1.1.1 hack. Went into iTunes and told it to upgrade me to 1.1.1 as specified in the instructions, an unknown error occurred, leaving my phone in recovery mode.

iTunes has used the “Recovery” mode to install 1.1.1, tried to verify the software, failed, installed it again, and it succeeded. I now have a virgin 1.1.1 phone, all old apps, contacts, photos, etc, are gone. I will be trying to downgrade, install the hack, then upgrade again…

Word to the Wise, the software’s not perfect yet.
