This update has broken all applications installed by Installer.app. All installed applications were deleted when the update was applied. Do not update your phone if you have unlocked it.
Here is a list of what will happen to your iPhone, courtesy of Engadget.com
- The update will work ok in iPhones with no modification.
- The update will work ok in iPhones with Installer.app (although it gets wiped out. The apps seem to remain in the iPhone, but they won't appear in your screen.)
- The update will work ok in unlocked iPhones, but it will return your iPhone to the activation screen. From there, no activation is possible. The iPhone doesn't get bricked but, if you want to keep using it, don't update your iPhone.
- This has been confirmed with both anySIM and iPhone Sim Free.
- "Third-party applications won't work after the update" (confirmed by Dev Team.)
- "Firmware 1.1.1. relocks iPhone properly"
