Dev-Team Talks About the blackra1n Jailbreak

Author: dexxter  //  Category: Downloads, Firmware 3.0.1, Firmware 3.1, Firmware 3.1.2, Jailbreak, Redsn0w, Software, Unlock

##ICON_NAME## The Dev-Team has updated their blog with a little snippet about the blackra1n jailbreak. Below is what they have to say. You can see the original article HERE.

Update: geohot released a Windows jailbreak called “blackra1n” which is similar to redsn0w in that it covers multiple devices (and it covers beyond just firmware 3.0.1 where redsn0w currently stops). blackra1n is not a carrier unlock. You must always avoid updating your baseband to maintain your unlockability. If you use blackra1n to jailbreak 3.1 or 3.1.2, the steps you take before running blackra1n will prevent the unlock from working on your iPhone for potentially a very long time. By the way, we haven’t yet tested whether a blackra1n’d device can accept a custom IPSW without tweaks, but if it doesn’t then it should only require a minor change.

Blackra1n jailbreak now available for iPhone OS 3.1.2, iPod touch 3G

Wow, judging by our tips jar we’d say you’re all pretty darn excited about Geohot’s Blackra1n jailbreak, which lets you open up iPhone OS 3.1.2devices including the iPod touch 3G and new iPhone 3GSs — but you can’t unlock yet, so don’t get any big ideas about switching carriers. Windows-only at the moment, but with this level of enthusiasm out there we can’t imagine a Mac version is far behind.

The Google Voice rejection: What’s needed now

Author: dexxter  //  Category: Apple, Appstore, Cydia, Downloads, Software, Unlock

If you’ve been following coverage of Apple’s rejection of Google Voice for iPhone, you saw TUAW blogger Chris Rawson considering whether pressure from AT&T might have been behind the Google Voice rejection — an assumption first floated by TechCrunch and later substantiated by Daring Fireball. The absurd nature of the app removals is highlighted in the blog post from Riverturn, developers of VoiceCentral, which reports the conversation with an Apple representative.

Google Voice offers free call forwarding to your home, office, and cell, free Internet-accessible voice mail (with text transcription!), free SMS, and a single phone number for life. These free features compete against AT&T’s revenue streams.

When it comes to “duplicate functionality”, Apple doesn’t seem to have any problem allowing applications like AT&T co-branded Virtual Recptionist (iTunes link) in App Store. Virtual Receptionist provides custom call forwarding to three phone numbers, in a similar manner to Google Voice.

In the wake of the rejection, sites like Wired, which should get credit for predicting this issue, have considered whether Apple’s move might invite regulation due to the company’s control over the App Store and possible anti-competitive concerns. A legislative response isn’t out of the question should enough unhappy customers start petitioning their congressmen, especially in a political climate that encourages government intervention in private business. Granted, the iPhone isn’t a monopoly among smartphones, but Apple does hold all the cards when it comes to app approval on the platform.

ChannelWeb’s Rick Whiting (via the Wall Street Journal) points out that the US Department of Justice has “begun investigating whether large U.S. telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Verizon Communications were engaging in anti-competitive behavior, including locking up the most popular handsets. The exclusive deal between AT&T-Apple is said to be drawing the most scrutiny.” Whiting believes that AT&T and Apple may be drawing attention from a DOJ intent on cracking down on exactly this kind of excess. AT&T’s tight relationship with Apple might be affecting how Apple runs App Store, as might be the case with the Google Voice rejection.

How To Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0.1 with Redsn0w

Author: dexxter  //  Category: Firmware 3.0.1, Hacks, Jailbreak, Redsn0w, Unlock

Apple released iPhone OS 3.0.1 to fix a serious SMS vulnerability in the iPhone OS where your iPhone can be completely taken over by receiving a maliciously crafted SMS message.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0.1 in the same way you would jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0 with redsn0w.

Please follow these instructions clearly and you’ll be a-o-k. Now, before we begin you may notice that we use the iPhone OS 3.0 IPSW to jailbreak our iPhone OS 3.0.1 device, this is no mistake. When you get asked to select the iPhone firmware you have installed then choose the iPhone OS 3.0 IPSW. Please make sure you have updated your device to 3.0.1 by either updating officially via iTunes or restoring via iTunes. Keep in mind that restoring your iPhone will erase your iPhone’s content. Also, please don’t mind the screenshots saying redsn0w version 0.72 – Use the latest redsn0w version, it’ll be the same as the screenshots below.

Note: We are not responsible if your device blows up in the middle of the jailbreak process (it wont) or if your device doesn’t turn on after using this. Use, strictly, at your own risk!

  1. First is first, download redsn0w here (for Windows) or here (for Mac OS X)
  2. Second, Download iPhone OS 3.0 or whatever firmware you’ll be using to jailbreak – here
  3. Alright, now that you have the starting materials downloaded and on your desktop, fire up redsn0w
  4. Click browse and search for the iphone/ipod touch ipsw. In this case, we’re using the iPhone1,2 3.0 restore ipsw)
  5. Redsn0w will then process your ipsw and identify the ipsw
  6. After, redsn0w will prepare data required to jailbreak your device
  7. Redsn0w will ask you if you want to install Cydia or Icy or both or neither. Tick the box if you would like to install them or untick if not.
  8. After you got that done, redsn0w will ask you to turn off your device. (Press and hold down the power button on your device until you see the slide to power off screen and slide to shut down the device) *NOTE* Make sure your device is turned OFF and plugged IN
  9. Redsn0w will then guide you through entering your device into DFU mode
  10. Your device will then reboot then redsn0w will start uploading the jailbreak data onto your device
  11. Once redsn0w is uploading the data onto your device, you’re done! You will then notice images on your device, don’t touch the device till all the images are gone

iPhone 3G S Jailbreak and Unlock Exploit Found!

Author: dexxter  //  Category: 3G S iPhone, 3GS iphone, Hacks, Jailbreak, Unlock, iphone 3GS

Well, I know
many of you have been waiting for this news, so here it is: iPhone Dev
Team has found out that 24kpwn, the same exploit used to crack open
into the iPod Touch 2G, lives in the iPhone 3GS bootrom. That means the
iPhone Dev Team can apply the same technique that they use to jailbreak
and unlock on their current redsn0w tools. The baseband is also
exploitable with ultrasn0w. Awesome news, ey?

From iPhone Dev Team:

Important: Apple has not given up on the cat&mouse
game, and in fact there are challenging aspects of the 3GS jailbreak
that aren’t in the other devices. It’ll take some time to work these
into our tools, but the fundamental weaknesses are there: The bootrom
is exploitable via 24Kpwn, and the baseband is exploitable via
ultrasn0w. (And just like with the 3G, ultrasn0w for 3GS requires that
you not update your baseband when Apple comes out with new firmware.)

If you would like to know the technical notes, from the iPhone Dev Team, on where the 24Kpwn exploit is in the 3GS visit here

Now it’s time to wait for the iPhone Dev Team develop and release the
tools for users to use and jailbreak and/or unlock their iPhone 3GS’

redsn0w in june

Author: dexxter  //  Category: 3g Iphone, Downloads, Firmware 3.0, Iphone Dev, Ipod Touch, Jailbreak, Pwnage, Quickpwn, Redsn0w, Software, Unlock, YellowSnow

redsn0w is an easy to use, multi-platform, multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking (iPhone 2G only) tool for theiPhone 2G (original iPhone), the iPhone 3G (but not the 3GS) and also the iPod touch (first and second generation). Currently it is available for Windows and Mac OS X (there are some issues using redsn0w with OS X PPC, please use an Intel Mac until we have this problem resolved).

REDSN0W PROVIDES SIMILAR FUNCTIONALITY TO QUICKPWN.

If you want to build custom firmware files with more flexibility it is suggested that you use ‘PwnageTool’ on Mac OS X.

  1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use redsn0w right now. Ultrasn0w (the 3G carrier unlock) is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be released via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 carrier unlock works with this redsn0w release.
  2. Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you will be able to get it via Cydia or Icy).
  3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
  4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
  5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest version of redsn0w.
  6. This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release
  7. redsn0w will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
  8. redsn0w WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch, iPod touch 2G and the iPhone 3G (not the iPhone 3GS).

To use redsn0w simply upgrade the device in iTunes to firmware version 3.0 and run redsn0w to activate and jailbreak the device (and if you are using an original iPhone 2G, it will unlock it too!)
