iPhone and iPod touch v1.1.1 get instant jailbreak + installer

by Ryan Block posted Oct 29th 2007 at 2:17AM

We could hardly believe it ourselves, but the open source community has parlayed that game-changing v1.1.1 TIFF exploit / file system hack into a full-on ready to rumble instant installer for AppTapp on the iPhone and iPod touch. Check out TUAW for the steps and further details, but we tried it on our v1.1.1 touch and it worked like a damn charm. In fact, we think this is finally what's going to get us to upgrade that virgin 1.0.2 iPhone we've been using. Fingers crossed.

Is anybody having trouble running most of the apps? Summerboard works but nothing else seems to. It just opens up a splash screen and goes back to the home menu.

you have to install the BSD subsystem for most of the apps to run, until you do this you will just get the splashscreen.

I just did the jailbreak on my iPhone and when i went into the 1.1.1 tweaks and tried download the tiff exploit fix, i get an error message that states

"Error"
"Main script execution failed!"

Any one know whats going on and how i can fix this problem? Also, anyone that did the jailbreak getting this message?
