iPod Touch: Firmware 1.1.4 Released, Jailbreak Compatibilty Yet to be Tested

Apple released firmware version 1.1.4 today for the iPod Touch. The description from Apple just says “bug fixes”. The much anticipated SDK support was not released in this version. You can now upgrade to 1.1.4 from iTunes, but remember this will un-jailbreak you iPod Touch.

So the question is, what reason is the to upgrade your jailbroken iPod Touch from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4? Right now, it doesn’t look like there is any reason in my opinion. There are no new features to desire and summerboard and customize will not work with 1.1.4.

The main thing that Apple likely has done here is to make it more difficult to jailbreak your iPod Touch. I will continue to update this post when I get more information.

Another thing that I have noticed is that in the iTunes store on the iPod Touch you can now double tap to view an album. Now I am not 100% sure that this wasn’t there before, maybe someone of you can comment and let me know if you do upgrade.

This is from ipodtouchfans.com:

- Audible difference (Better, Clearer Volume)
- Better Tabbed Browsing (No White Screen)
- Safari is more stable

This is taken from tuaw.com:

Our own Erica Sadun has confirmed that Zibri’s jailbreak does work with the 1.1.4 update, released today. We’re told that Nate True has tried it out with the new update installed, and that it does work.

So big news for jailbreakers — update away, because the jailbreak wasn’t one of the “bugs” fixed. Although if this update is, as we suspect, laying the groundwork for the SDK release, we may not have to worry about applications not working on the phone too much longer.

Update: While some users have upgraded with no problems, Zibri is asking that users not upgrade until the tool can be thoroughly checked with the new firmware. “People who donated will receive the next version a day before everyone else. Expect a new version in 2 days (3 days for non-donors),” he says.

    why dont they make sumthing worth updating for lol

  2. DrOMFG Says:

    lol Will, ever heard of SDK?

  3. Alex Says:

    DrOMFG, 1.1.4 was supposed to have SDK, but Apple decided to leave that out of the upgrade!!

    Looks like we will have to wait for 1.1.5 now :(

  4. IiMan Says:

    So basically it is pointless to jailbreak 1.1.4?

  5. Ben S Says:

    what a disappointment. looks like we are waiting to atleast march for sdk.

    Jailbreak coming very soon for 1.1.4:

    As I’m sure you already know, Apple has released firmware versions 1.1.4. It appears that most of the process we currently use no longer works properly. We will have a release in 2 to 3 days that is compatible with 1.1.4 for iPhone and iPod Touch. In the mean time, do not upgrade your device.

    Thanks!

    Looks like from a jailbreaking perspective, 1.1.4 won’t be too hard to jailbreak. But then again what do we really get out of jailbreaking 1.1.4? Nothing new really..

  10. bmike Says:

    man, 1.1.4 is sooo easy, just use Ziphone, it takes all of 2 minutes

  11. Pax Says:

    bmike, did you use ZiPhone on an 8gig itouch? I heard it only works on that one….

  12. bmike Says:

    no, I used it on the 8gig iPhone

  13. jgold Says:

    is there any way to jailbeak ipod touch 16gb 1.1.4? ziphone doesn’t work correct?

  14. Spizznice Says:

    To do this do u need to upgrade to ipod firmware 1.1.4

  15. screamo Says:

    I suggest NOT jailbreaking your 16gig itouch with ziphone yet until zibri confirms on his site that it indeed works. I tried using ziphone 3 times to jailbreak my iPod (it crashed on me while it was jailbroken so I tried ziphone three different times hoping it’d work once out of the three times. Well it doesn’t. I’m sitting on a boring 1.1.3 itouch cause it won’t downgrade. Saddest news of my life

    I’m gonna upgrade 1.1.4 to see if what Spizznice said is true (I don’t doubt you though) everytime I used ziphone I downgraded to 1.1.3 which is the lowest I can downgrade for some reason

  16. Alex Says:

    screamo please post back and let us know your results.

    There is also this method, that worked for me as well: http://lonman06.com/2008/03/01/ipod-touch-how-to-jailbreak-your-8gb-ipod-touch-on-114-might-work-for-16gb/

  17. ricardo Says:

    well… I was trying to hack my ipod… but i had problems… so the ipod got crazy and i wasnt able to enter to it… so itunes ask me for reset it so i did and it update alone… so now i have 1.1.4 version and i wanna know how to hack it in this condition … thank you a lot

  18. imra Says:

    I was jailbreaking my 8gig iPod with ziphi
    ne. And failed. Now I stuck with this 1.1.4 thing.

  19. WingRider Says:

    Hey any news on jailbreaking the 1.1.4 version of the 16 gig ipod touch. I really want to put tetris on it, also i heard that from Ipod you can get the equvilant of a legitimate jailbreak? Is that true?

  20. John Says:

    Wingrider, I would wait until a true version comes out for the ipod touch. Right now they are actually made for the iphone. You can get some of the things from apple now such as mail, stocks, weather, but with a jailbreak you can still get a lot more stuff.

  21. AJ Says:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I’M BEGGING SOMEONE TO PLEASE EMAIL ME ABOUT JAILBREAKING MY IPOD TOUCH 1.1.4……. PLEASE SHOW ME THE EASIEST WAY TO DO IT BECASUE IM NOT ELECTRONICALLY ADVANCED!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  22. Tony Says:

    I just got a 16GB Ipod Touch, and I’ve bought the january update and updated to 1.1.4.

    Am I right in thinking that I can’t jailbreak this, and if I did I would loose the apps I paid for?

    Also, when the SDK is released, does this mean that I’ll be able to install 3rd party apps without having to jailbreak?

    thanks

  23. Ted Says:

    Tony, you shouldn’t lose the apps. Worse case if you do, you can just restore, iTunes will remember that you bought them. When SDK is released, you will be able to install SOME but not all 3rd party apps. There is no way you would ever be able to install emulators and get roms.

    Everyone, use this method to jailbreak your iPod Touch, it works great!

    I recently used ziphone on my iPod but with bad results!!! After the jailbreak, I experienced static over the letters of the keyboard, installer constantly failed, and a drastic difference in the speed of the interface, so I decided to play by the rules, and wait for 2.0 software to arrive in 3 Days!!
