The iPhone Dev Team released an untethered iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak thanks to i0n1c's untether exploit. With the release of redsn0w and PwnageTool, some people have run into 'cosmetic' signal bar issues after jailbreaking. The issue results in having 1 bar for signal (for those with older basebands), even though the signal is broadcasting at full...

Update 1: MuscleNerd just sent out the following tweet: ultrasn0w unlockers remember: please stay away until we get a chance to fix the problems 4.3.1 has with older basebands So if you're thinking of using the latest ultrasn0w update, my advice is to wait at least 24-72 hours before proceeding, as it's a guarantee that...

A while back the iPhone Dev Team released the latest unlock for the iPhone 3G/3gs. This unlock had a unique workaround--use PwnageTool/redsn0w to inject the iPad's baseband (which was unlockable) into the iPhone 3G/3GS. Then, use ultrasn0w via Cydia to do the rest. Caution: iPad Baseband Causes GPS to Fail Recent usage of this unlock has...

Update 1: If you're on iOS 4.2.1, and inject the 06.15 iPad baseband, you won't be able to restore to stock firmware, or downgrade your baseband to 05.xx. Explained by the Dev Team: WARNING — YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!  PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF UPDATING TO 06.15. There is no way to...

Update 2: from the Dev Team: There’s an error in the bundle for the iPhone3GS 4.1 that prevents the new baseband from being used.  If you know your way around OSX, please download the fixed bundle, and unzip it if Safari hasn’t already done so.  Then “Show Package Contents” of PwnageTool.app, navigate to Contents->Resources->FirmwareBundles and...

The iPhone Dev Team told us a couple days ago ultrasn0w will be released on Sunday to unlock your iPhone on 4.2.1. Dev Team member MuscleNerd tweeted tonight that ultrasn0w is working fully on 4.2.1. This is great news for those that require an iPhone unlock. As always, do not update to iOS 4.2.1 via...

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...

The iPhone Dev-Team has done it again. If you're still holding on to an iPhone 3G or 2nd generation iPod Touch running 4.1, your jailbreak tools for Mac are here. It's fairly straight forward as usual with redsn0w, get on the official 4.0 or 4.1 firmware, then use redsn0w to jailbreak. Dev-Team: "IF YOU USE...
