The guys from iPhone Atlas have a sad piece news for most of you iPhone owners out there: as the title says, the jailbreak software for 1.1.3 firmware is likely to break a vital component of the new 1.1.3 firmware – namely, the “Nikita” library that deals with installing signed software.

It looks like Nate’s update causes Nikita to break (Nikita is the component on the iPhone/iTouch responsible for installing signed software, such as the iPod App Pack and likely SDK apps in the future),” adding “We believe this is because the soft-update method that was released doesn’t update the kernel cache, so users are likely still booting into the 111 or 112 kernel, which is lacking the necessary DRM components to verify/decrypt packages with Nikita.

Our piece of advice for you? Hold on a bit longer, salvation might be around the corner, I bet my lunch money that sometime next week we’ll see an update to the jailbreak software, that will fix this issue.

All you iPhone owners jump for joy!

The amazing team over at cre.ations.net did it at last!

As of today, there’s a complete iPhone jailbreak for firmware 1.1.3 available over at http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/iphone-113-jailbreak-released.
Just for your info, the application the amazing guys at cre.ations.net have created is called iBrickr and has an official website: iBrickr

Now you may be wondering how this jailbreak works. Here’s a breakdown:
- iBrickr grabs the 1.1.3 iPhone firmware image and extracts, decrypts, and decompresses the disk image.
- Then it applies a patch, jailbreaking the disk image and activating it, and also installing Installer.app.
- It uploads this new modified image to the phone, as 113_upgrade_image.bin.
- The “1.1.3 soft upgrade” app flashes the phone with the image and reboots.
- You have a perfect, jailbroken, upgraded 1.1.3 phone, with all your settings and music intact!

All in all, this app is not officially supported by Apple, so be aware that you’ll use it on your own risk.
