downfall of the jiggly icons

So, yesterday the firmware 1.1.3 jailbreak for the iPhone was released. After work I sped home as fast as the bus would allow, and went about turning my iPhone into a brick.

First, I updated via iTunes to 1.1.3 to upgrade the baseband to the latest version so that I would be able to use the Google MyLocation goodness. Then, I downgraded to 1.1.1 and jailbroke it. Unfortunately, at this point I received a message saying my sim was unrecognized / couldn’t be activated. I updated to the 1.1.3 hacked firmware, and my sim was still fucked up. So, I had a jailbroken 1.1.3 phone with no phone service. Fairly useless to me.

I downgraded and upgraded a few times, in an attempt to get back to a jailbroken 1.1.1 state with phone service, to no avail, as my attempts to downgrade the baseband failed. I just resorted to restoring to a pristine 1.1.3 — non-jailbroken — for now, just to restore my phone service.

So, I have jiggly icons now, and Google LocateMe, and phone service, but no Installer.app.

Edit: Yet.
