Dead iPhones Resurrected With v1.1.3 Update

18 Jan, 2008, 5:05 pm IST | Shayne Rana | Smartphones

Heads up iPhone lovers. Here’s another very interesting update that v1.1.3 for the iPhone has to offer. Apparently this new update from Apple is capable, through some miraculous function, of unbricking a bricked iPhone. A bricked iPhone, for new users, is that useless piece of hardware that exists as your iPhone after you tried and failed to unlock it.


What the new update does, it seems, is overwrite firmware-codes that had caused the demise of your iPhone to begin with. Consider v1.1.3 resuscitation for your dead duck iPhone. The guys down at Gizmodo have successfully managed to get their bricked iPhone to function again with their existing AT&T account by hooking it up to iTunes, restoring, upgrading and reactivating the device.
