If you have a jailbroken 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 iPhone or iPod Touch, you can now upgrade to the newest 1.1.3 firmware directly from the “Installer.app”. Over a broadband connection the upgrade takes anywhere from 10-45 minutes so you will most likely want to have it plugged in. To perform the upgrade you will have to have a previously jailbroken device and the “Installer.app” on your device. This upgrade should not be performed on unlocked 1.1.(x) phones as there is no unlock solution for 1.1.3 iPhones.

 The champ hit the mat when he got plugged into my Alpine CDE-9852 with the factory iPod interface cable. I have plugged a 1.0.2 iPhone in multiple times and aside from a bit of GSM buzz once in a while it worked great. The deceased was running version 1.1.1, and upon being plugged in, was down for the count.
