Jailbreak

Update 1: Download links updated with mirrors and misc. notes. Yesterday the iPhone Dev Team sent an update about "Thanksgiving with Apple". Well, in less than 24 hours they have released a jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 for OS X and Windows. From what the iPhone Dev Team wrote on their blog, the following will apply:...

The iPhone Dev Team updated their blog with iOS 4.2 jailbreak news. In a post titled "Thanksgiving with Apple", they go on to say the following: The best news of all is for owners of iPhone3G, older iPhone3GS, and non-MC iPod touch 2G. Due to a combination of our original pwnage2 exploit, the arm7_go exploit,...

The iPhone Dev Team remains hard at work. Yesterday they released an updated version of PwnageTool (Mac only) to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM. Today, they've updated redsn0w to 0.9.6b3 (Windows users) to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM, but this is primarily for developers who want to do testing. It does not install the newest version of...

PwnageTool has just been updated to 4.1.2 by the iPhone Dev Team. This new releases includes bug fixes involving Cydia as stated below: [Update: Version 4.1.2 should fix any issues that OS X 10.5.x users were seeing.  You only need to run this version if you’re at OS X 10.5.x and were seeing Cydia errors]...

Hey everyone, RoryPiper here. Usualy, when I post something on this great site, I've got a cool how to, for making a theme, a review of some new case or iPhone related product, or some other jailbreak-type news. This week it is all about shameless self-promotion. With Gary's permission, or course. ;P Some of you...

Oh sure, Mac users got this treatment more than two weeks ago. But not everyone uses a Mac right? Which is exactly why the Dev-Team has just released an updated redsn0w for Windows. Before you ask, this is for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch (second generation) ONLY. More importantly: this update is NOT for ultrasn0w...

If you use a jailbroken iPhone, you likely have been taking advantage of either Cydia or Rock.app. Well, two weekends ago Rock Your Phone and Saurik's Cydia announced that they would merge and that both of their respective stores for jailbroken devices would merge as well. To be more specific though, Cydia acquired Rock Your...

Hey, everyone! It's been a while since I've done a theme tutorial, so I thought I'd show you a quick an easy one today. If you've upgraded your device to iOS 4, you're probably enjoying the new multitasking and folder features. iOS4 uses the same background for both, and is easily changed, if you have...

Well, Geohot has done it again, although with a lot less enthusiasm, this time. Geohot (aka George Hotz) was the original iPhone unlocker and was all over mainstream media, for being able to hack the original iPhone to run on T-Mobile, instead of AT&T. Back then it was a pretty messy hardware hack that had...

"Well, that didn't take long", is something I have found myself saying after each iPhone software and hardware release, for the past year or so. It seems the current iPhone hackers know right where to look, when trying to find new exploits in the latest firmware and hardware. comex, of the The iPhone Dev Team, and...

This took me a few hours and quite a few firmware builds and restores to make it work, but I got it working. There is a specific set of circumstances that have to be in place for this to work for you. If you are not experienced in jailbreaking, turn back now! Your iPhone 3GS...

One of the coolest things I like about Tweetie, (now Twitter for iPhone), is the way you pull down the screen to refresh your feed. It is a cool, fun way to load your newest tweets. It is almost instinctive now, as I try to do it in other apps as well, and I almost...
