The much talked about 1.1.2 firmware was just released and adds some features you may want as well as some you probably don't. Apparently iTunes is taking a quick nap today as the only place to download the 1.1.2 firmware (for now) is at this Apple link. Of course it wasn't supposed to be out till tomorrow, but hey, I'm sure iPhone hackers around the world appreciate the head start they're getting. :)
1.1.2 firmware - The Good
So far the only known extras that 1.1.2 contains are- TIFF exploit fix
- International Keyboards
My 4 custom ringtones (1 purchased from iTunes and 3 installed via SendSong) all appear in a separate Custom list.
Confirmed. The *#307# trick still works. That's the trick that lets you access Safari from an unactivated iPhone with only emergency dialing capabilities.
Confirmed: Some users have been able to downgrade back to 1.1.1 and 1.0.2. - Erica Sadun @ TUAW- Speed enhancement? (from Engadget, unconfirmed)
- Update: Custom .m4r ringtones without hacks (from RINGTONE Support w/Firmware update 1.1.2 @ Apple)
which in my opinion, are not compelling enough for you to rush out and update your unlocked iPhone(s), since AppSnapp closes the TIFF hole as well. The TIFF exploit might be worth the 160MB download if you're a goody-two-shoes iPhone user, but that doesn't seem likely. :)
1.1.2 firmware - The Bad
No jailbreaking and no unlocking (at least till someone fixes this bug :) ). If that doesn't stop you, I don't know what will. If you must persist, here are some other anecdotes/articles:Confirmed: INdependence does not seem to be working. "Unsupported version of phone firmware installed. Detected version is 1.1.2" - Erica Sadun @ TUAW
- Unconfirmed at the moment, but TurboSIM could be broken.
