iNdependence for iPhone
It ain’t pretty, but I used this to upgrade to the 1.1.1 firmware, and then to manually copy installer.app onto the phone. Hello 3rd-party apps!
Beware, this is a lot more complicated than the way things were, before 1.1.1.

Hey, I used the same (iNdenpendence to the 1.1.1 firmware). I tried to manually copy apps (installer and other) into the phone. They dont show up on the phone though they are in application folder with the right permissions. Any ideas?
There are two accounts, root and mobile, each with different passwords:
usr: root
pass: dottie
usr: mobile
pass: alpine
I think that I had to use the mobile credentials when I copied Installer.app onto the phone. Try that!
Hey Nedward ;)
Thanks for the info. I’ve done that too (mobile credentials) I was able to copy installer into the iphone but still nothing showing on the “desktop”.
hmm, and the app shows up in the list of apps on the phone?
I had to follow the instructions very precisely. The only advice that I can offer is to try following it again… use it to downgrade, and go through the process again to upgrade to 1.1.1, and jailbreak/activate/etc.
Good luck!
