iDemocracy – the semi-automatic iPhone v1.1.1 jailbreak solution for Windows PC

iDemocracy is the GUI jailbreak for iPhone v1.1.1 on Windows XP and Vista

Why should Mac OS X users get all the fun? The recently released, Cocoa-based iNdependence gives Mac OS X-using iPhone v1.1.1 owners a quick(er) and (relatively) painless GUI jailbreak solution. It’d be nice if Windows PC users had the same convenience of a GUI-based jailbreak solution for the iPhone v1.1.1, wouldn’t it? Well, it would.

Enter iDemocracy. Windows XP and Windows Vista users can now enjoy the benefits of a semi-automatic jailbreak solution. We say “semi-automatic” because iDemocracy still requires a few manual restarts, and a downgrade of the firmware – but seeing as how it handles all the Terminal-command and SSH intricacies, we’d say this “semi-automatic” solution is pretty damn convenient.

Head on over to Google Code to pick up the Windows-based (iDemocracy is programmed in C# and requires Microsoft’s .NET Framework 2.0) iPhone v1.1.1 jailbreak GUI solution.

Update: It seems there’s a little bug in the iDemocracy software that results in your iPhone only showing 300MB capacity. Fear not, Windows user, there’s a fix on the way.

    I am running on firmware 1.0.2 with AppTap with all 3rd party apps. What is the best way to upgrade to 1.1.1 with the iDemocracy? Should I restore my iPhone 1st and then upgrade to firmware 1.1.1 and then iDemocracy or just install upgrade to firmware 1.1.1 with the AppTap installed?

  • Will Park

    Updating to v1.1.1 with AppTapp/Installer.app installed should be fine. But, just to be safe, I would restore the iPhone before any update.

    Good luck! :smile:

    Keep in mind that you hack your iPhone at your own risk. :wink:

    Apple won’t give you any support if something goes wrong.

    I just got a brand new iPhone with 1.1.1.
    I downloaded iDemocracy yesterday and I followed all the steps very closely but stuck in step 10:

    “10. Your iPhone should ask for activation. Do so, but don’t sync just yet.”

    I don’t know how to proceed from here. Advice?

  • Kent

    I have exactly the same issue. My phone is a completely virgin unactivated one. Trying to use the activator to activate it, don’t work.

    Anyone?

  • aveman999

    I have the sae problem . However i think we cannot get into the I phone because open SSH is not available at that point ..

    In the next steps when the appserver is installed , then open SSH services are installed ..

    How do we ssh into the phone before installing the appserver
