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.
