How to Officially Update and Jailbreak to 1.1.3 iPhone Firmware (Installer)

These are instructions on how to Update and Jailbreak to 1.1.3 iPhone Firmware with the Official Dev Team Method using an Installer Source.

Please realize that many if not most applications designed for 1.1.2 do not work yet with 1.1.3 and may cause crashes etc. This includes SummerBoard and Customize! It might even be a good idea to remove all extra applications before performing the update! Many are finding this makes the update alot smoother.

SOLUTION for ERROR Package download failed: can\'t find host! Ste (admin of Installer app) has moved the repository from one site to another. So, you\'re getting the package download failure notices because most of the files simply AREN\'T THERE anymore. The only thing to do is to change the URL of \"Ste Packaging\" to http://repo.smxy.org/iphone-apps/ in the Sources section of Installer app. STEPS: 1# Go to \"Sources\" in Installer.app. 2# Then tap the \"Edit\" button. Click on the \"-\" icon over \"Ste Packaging\" source line in order to delete it. 3#Tap the \"Add\" button and type the right new URL for STE Packaging source: http://repo.smxy.org/iphone-apps/ 4# Refresh sources and enjoy installing lots applications for iPhone.

I can confirm, like many others, that after ~45 minutes and my iPhone not rebooting, I forced it to shut down, rebooted and everything is working like it should with 1.1.3.

hi delaneyzero, i had the same problem with my installer after i upgraded to 1.1.3 so last night i downgraded to 1.1.1 then up to 1.1.2 and then 1.1.3 everything works perfectly the only thing i did differently the first time was the geohot unlock at 1.1.2 before i upgraded to 1.1.3, this time when i downgraded to 1.1.1 the unlock remained all the way up so i didnt have to do it again. i know its not the answer you were looking for but it does work. regards!
