The Spirit jailbreak is now out! Congratulations to @comex for the first userland jailbreak since the 1.x days. Spirit provides an untethered jaibreak on those newer devices which used to require a computer nearby to finish the boot process. Spirit is able to do this because it doesn’t actually kick in until after the kernel [...]
At some point after (don’t ask when!) the iPad 3G is actually in customers’ hands, the first “userland” jailbreak since firmware 1.x will be released by @comex. It’s called “Spirit” and was first demonstrated working on an iPad by @MuscleNerd within 24 hours of the iPad’s release on April 3. Userland jailbreaks are more troublesome [...]
The iPhone DevTeam has been passed confidential internal information relating to the next version of the tablet computer the ‘iPad’. An upcoming redesign of the iPad tablet computer will miniaturize the device so that it will be able to be carried on the user’s person (such as a pocket or small bag). Also a radical [...]
Some interesting features were revealed in today’s preview of iphoneos 4.0. We’ll use this post as a placeholder for discussion about these features and how they relate to the jailbreak. Also, it seemed like a good idea to move away from our last post, which was made on April 1 for a reason
WARNING! At 10.30AM PST on February 2nd 2010 Apple released the 3.1.3 version (7E18) of the iPhoneOS. If you care about your jailbreak and unlock, don’t update your device – 3G and 3G(S) owners should pay particular attention to this warning. PwnageTool and redsn0w are not yet compatible with 3.1.3 There is no estimated release [...]
On Tuesday, Apple released firmware 3.1.3 for the iPhone and iPod touches. Unless you’ve personally observed a problem with the reporting of your battery percentage, there’s no reason to update to 3.1.3. We know some of you will want to anyway. Superbowl Sunday’s PwnageTool 3.1.5 for Mac OS X will let you do so safely, [...]
While Apple’s 3.1.3 firmware was minor in terms of new features, it’s had the side effect of opening up a huge market for scam sites. These sites will promise you a 3.1.3 jailbreak for newer devices like the iPod touch 3G, or a baseband 05.12 software unlock. Those desperate enough to “just give it a [...]
iPhone 3G/3GS owners who found themselves stuck with version 05.11 of the baseband (either by accident or because they bought it that way) are now in luck! geohot was able to turn the already-public at+xemn crash into an injection vector, which can be used to inject his version of the unlock. The blacksn0w unlock is [...]
Today we released an ultrasn0w update that fixes an issue for those running firmware 3.1.x with the 04.26 baseband. That specific combination resulted in a missing carrier name in the upper left-hand corner of your home screen. Today’s ultrasn0w update from 0.91 to 0.92 fixes that problem (which was an important issue for roaming). You [...]
It sure has been a while since we last saw a firmware update from Apple. (And by the way, which will come first…the iPad wifi, FW version 3.1.3/4.0 for iPhones, or the new iPhone itself?) Anyway, while we’re waiting, we updated redsn0w to be compatible with FW 3.1.2. We also added a few new features! [...]
