Liveblog contained after the jump. Enjoy!
6:00pm - Began the process. Started by asking me if I wanted to “hacktivate” the phone eventually. I do not - I am a law-abiding AT&T customer.
6:03pm - The firmware downloaded.
6:07pm - The firmware extracted.
6:09pm - The firmware is currently being “decrypted.”
6:12pm - The firmware is being “decompressed.” Wonder how many more steps there will be to get the firmware going?
6:14pm - Still decompressing. Wish I had a bit more patience.
6:15pm - Finally. Now “reading existing image.”
6:19pm - Now “Mounting new system image.” Whatever that means. Also “Copying data to system image.”
6:21pm - All right. How much “data” is there? I’m up to 500 files. Hmm.
6:23pm - Over 1000 files. Who knew I had this much crap on my phone?
6:26pm - The file count has stopped but the thingie is still spinning. Ok never mind, it started again.
6:30pm - Stuck at file 1548. Waiting…
6:38pm - Around file 2200 now. Still going.
6:45pm - Finalizing image, performing userland migration, writing image!!!
6:47pm - 75% done writing image.
6:48pm - 95% - what will happen next?
6:49pm - Rebooting!!!
6:50pm - Still stuck on the Apple logo.
6:51pm - It worked!!! I have jiggly icons! Now to test the other “new” features….
6:53pm - Refreshing Installer.app to see if there are any urgent updates now that I have 1.1.3.
6:57pm - Uh oh. I have a seemingly bricked iPhone. Going into emergency mode now…
