iPhone 4 Unlock to Follow After Verizon iPhone Launch?

Saturday, January 8, 2011

It’s been quite the last few days and people are still asking about iPhone 4 unlock on higher basebands. Look what we have found while perusing MuscleNerd’s Twitter account, the iPhone Dev Team may be waiting for Verizon iPhone’s launch next Tuesday to push their unlock to iOS users.

hishamm126: @MuscleNerd Can we conclude that the i4 unlock is ready but it’s just waiting for the untethered JB?

MuscleNerd: @hishamm126 the Verizon rumor mill is much more relevant :)

This tweet was sent by MuscleNerd in a reply to someone asking him if he’s waiting for the untethered jailbreak to be released. iPhone hacker MuscleNerd answered him saying that the time of release is more relevant to the Verizon iPhone rumors leaked yesterday.

Don't raise your hopes up, but share us what do you think of MuscleNerd's tweet? Feel free to leave comments below.

Save iOS 4.2.1 IPSW File and SHSH if You Want Untethered Jailbreak on iOS 4.3 for All iDevcies

Sunday, January 2, 2011

Three weeks ago, we told you about the untethered jailbreak from Comex on iOS 4.2.1 for all iDevices which was scheduled to release by Christmas, but due to some issues Comex was not able to finish his job. So the iPhone Dev-Team had an alternative plan which is the "back up plan" using an old firmware iOS 4.2b3, but this firmware caused some piracy issues, as it's not available for public, it's only available for developers.

L0ung3f1Y asking: @comex or freakin release a jailbreak that does not require 4.2b3
MuscleNerd replying: So if @comex were to develop 4.2.1 untether, we warn all to save their 4.2.1 IPSWs for 4.3 untether via Monte

So, if Comex releases the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 then you will need to preserve your iOS 4.2.1 IPSW and hashes to be able to get untethered jailbreak for the upcoming iOS 4.3

More explanation ? iOS 4.2.1 Redsn0w jailbreak is based on Limera1n bootrom exploit by Geohot, but this exploit can't make untethered jailbreak itself, it needs some help to make untethered jailbreak which is a kernel hack, This is precisely what Comex wants to get.

While we are able to jailbreak all our iOS devices using Redsn0w 0.9.7, the dev-team may preserve the new Comex's kernel hack to untethered jailbreak all upcoming iOS for all iDevices, so you have to save the iOS 4.2.1 IPSW file and its hashes to enjoy untethered jailbreak as long as possible.

Mac Owner? Wanna Try the Untethered iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak? Here's How !

Friday, December 24, 2010

I know that most of your are waiting eagerly for the untethered jailbreak solution on iOS 4.2.1 for new-generation iOS devices. As most of you know, the iPhone Dev Team already has the backup plan to achieve iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak for Christmas Eve.

Just a few minutes ago, the iPhone Dev Team has confirmed the release of untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak for the Christmas Eve and asking for Mac OS X owners to help them with testing the the backup plan.

Over the Christmas weekend we’ll be releasing a version of redsn0w that implements the “backup plan” to the 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak. We’re seeking your help to test this redsn0w and find any bugs before we do a general release!

(If you have an iPhone 3G, or an old-bootrom ipt2g or iPhone 3GS, you already have an untethered jailbreak! Just use the latest public redsn0w.)

To keep things manageable, this will be a Mac-only test program. We also request that any volunteers *NOT* need the ultrasn0w unlock (in case things go very wrong).

Right now, the “backup plan” requires that you have the 4.2b3 IPSW on your Mac, and that Cydia has your 4.2b3 SHSH hashes. Please don’t pirate that 4.2b3 IPSW! (We’re also working on a way that this technique might apply to all those with 4.1 IPSWs, but that’s not the first goal right now.)

To survive in this, you must be a Mac owner, got iOS 4.2 beta 3 SHSH blobs on your Mac or that Cydia has your 4.2b3 SHSH hashes that was automatically saved (in the status bar), and have a new-generation iOS device (i.e. iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod 4G, 3G).

If you fit all the above qualifications, so you can follow @redsn0w_testers on Twitter and give the Dev-Team a comment in this post to get the backup plan right now ! Let us know how does it go with you. Also stay tuned for a Christmas launch for public.

SHAtter Exploit Possibly Burned? What does it Mean for the Jailbreak Community?

Thursday, December 23, 2010

Let the drama begin! We already knew it's happening, SHAtter bootrom exploit is now leaked and it's between Apple's hands! Who leaked it and for what reason? it's still unclear. What's clear is that Apple is going to patch it Limera1n exploit, and SHAtter exploit together in the new iOS devices.

When Limera1n was released two months ago, Chronic Dev Team decided to save SHAtter for next generation devices and don't release it but it seems like pod2g, the developer behind SHAtter bootom exploit, has published it in IRC between 15 person as MuscleNerd states.

iPhone hacker p0sixninja of the Chronic Dev Team is pointing a blame finger to Musclenerd of the iPhone Dev Team. As Musclenerd concentrates on unlocks, it seems unreasonable to think he’d leak an exploit he would need in order to create an unlock.

There's still some wonders if the real SHAtter code is burned or not as this part of Comex's tweet saying (the real) SHAtter digging further into Twitter shows that maybe a fake exploit was leaked on purpose.

Though we don't know if the real SHAtter is leaked or not, feel free to share your ideas in the comment section below! [TiPB]

Dev-Team Confirms Untethered iOS 4.2.1 for iPhone 4 For Release on Christmas

Saturday, December 18, 2010

Just two weeks ago, Comex, the developer behind JailbreakMe and Spirit jailbreak tools has confirmed the arrival of userland untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 to be released on Christmas.

Today, MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has confirmed the same. In a deleted tweet spotted by RedmondPie claims that a untethered jailbreak solution for iOS 4.2.1 is indeed in works, and that it will be ready for prime-time use somewhere around Christmas.

scotty6kids78: @MuscleNerd are we any closer to the unteathered #jailbreak for the new #ios4.2 on #iphone4 ?

MuscleNerd: @scotty6kids78 it’ll be here by Xmas (not because we’re sitting waiting for Xmas, but because it’s achievable deadline)

We still don't know how reality is this tweet but it seems real. We'll keep you updated as more comes ! [via Redmond Pie]

Downgrade 06.15.00 Baseband iPhone 3GS / 3G on iOS 4.2.1 After Ultrasn0w 1.2 Soon

Wednesday, December 8, 2010

Here's a bit of good news for who suffered from the new unlockable baseband 6.15.00 on iPhone 3GS and 3G. Most of the unlockers who unlocked their devices with ultrasn0w 1.2 can't restore to any stock firmware above 4.1, it only can be restored to a custom firmware, moreover, ultrasn0w 1.2 caused a loss of GPS. Let's check out the new progress regarding downgrade 06.15.00 baseband.

Lezanz: what about GPS issue? Any progress?

Musclenerd: sorry still collecting data on that. But also working on a bb downgrade (!) method for those with unlockable bb

MuscleNerd has confirmed in a tweet that he is working on a new method to downgrade baseband 6.15.00 to lower versions, which will be unlockable and to fix the GPS issue. Till now we didn't catch more details, but of course will let you know once we catch more, stay tuned.

Untethered iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak on All Devices Achieved [VIDEO]

As most of you know, comex is currently working on an untethered solution for jailbreaking iOS 4.2.1, but today, the iPhone Dev Team has unveiled one of the many their plans! They got up their sleeves with a backup plan for an untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak for all devices.

As they have mentioned, this is not a new exploit, it’s a ‘backup plan’ as comex is working on a more extensible one, but this method is also generalizable. The method only works if you have already saved SHSH blobs of your iOS device. Anyway, take a look at the video demo below and stay tuned as more updates come!

Unlock iPhone 4 Baseband 02.10.04 Seems Imminent

Saturday, November 27, 2010

In case you are living under rocks, you may don't know that Ultrasn0w carrier unlock will be updated tomorrow (this Sunday) to provide a full unlock for iPhone 3GS / 3G on baseband 05.15.04 and lower ones. Anyway, iPhone 4 unlockers will have to wait a bit longer but we have good news for you too.

iPhone hacker Sherif Hashim is doing a great progress in unlocking iPhone 4 baseband 02.10.04 on iOS 4.2.1 / iOS 4.1 since he, according to this tweet, has provided very nice crashes for iPhone 4 baseband, also the iPhone Dev Team will start exploring more starting from this Monday.

Faiz: @MuscleNerd btw @sherif_hashim was working on i4 since long ? Did he not find anything interesting.

MuscleNerd: @mfaizulislam just the opposite :) @sherif_hashim has provided very nice crashes for i4 BB, which we can explore more starting Monday :)

This news gives some hope to iPhone 4 users who stuck on iOS 4.2.1 or iOS 4.1 with upgraded baseband as BB 02.10.04 or BB 03.10.01. More updates as they come! Stay tuned !

iOS 4.2.1 Compatible Cydia Apps

Thursday, November 25, 2010

Everybody’s loving iOS 4.2 for iPad: it brought multitasking to the tablet, folders, AirPlay (sort of) and, ehm, AirPrint. We have already talked about this. As more users upgrade to the new iOS every day and jailbreak it using the latest version of Redsn0w, they need really a list of compatible Cydia apps and tweaks.

MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has published a spreadsheet on Google Doc showing the compatible Cydia apps, you can navigate to this link to check the list of apps & tweaks in Cydia compatible with iOS 4.2.1. If the color is green that means it works with no problems, if it's yellow it means that it have some problems. Any you know, red ones are unusable and not working. The list should be upgraded consequently when an app gets iOS 4.2.1 compatibility.

New Details on iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak and Unlock

Monday, November 22, 2010

The iPhone Dev Team has just posted a new blog post informing the status of unlock and jailbreak of the newly released iOS 4.2.1. The post starts by warning unlockers to stay away from iOS 4.2.1 until they release new tools to creat custom .IPSW firmwares that don't update your baseband.

However, jailbreak for older devices on iOS 4.2.1 shouldn’t be a problem at all as the post states:

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, 24kpwn, and limera1n, your device is “just as jailbreakable as ever.” You reap the full benefit of an untethered 4.2.1 jailbreak.

For newer devices as iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, iPod touch 3G and iPad will have to wait longer for untethered jailbreak

Next are the owners of all the more recent devices. The good news there is that due to geohot’s limera1n exploit, all recent devices can be jailbroken (this will be true until Apple released new hardware that fixes geohot’s limerain exploit in the bootrom). The bad news is that right now, the 4.2.1 jailbreak is *tethered* on all of these recent devices.

Here comes the good news for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G who rely on unlock, the iPhone Dev Team has announced that the unlock is ready and will be uploaded to the repo once the new version of Redsn0w is out, this will happen something this week:

ultrasn0w unlock: After redsn0w is officially released with the new Cydia and kernel patches, we’ll be able to assess the unlock situation. It’s already looking very promising though, so expect the unlock for the 3G and 3GS to be coming this week. The i4 unlock is taking more effort though, and no further concrete info is available about that yet.

To sum up what've been said above, you'll all get a semi-tethered jailbreak probably tonight with patched Cydia and MobileSubstrate. For unlockers, only iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users will get the unlock this week, iPhone 4 users will have to wait a bit longer. We’ll keep you posted about jailbreak and unlock for iOS 4.2.1 but hopefully, we’ll be able to tweak our iPad folders and settings soon with some exciting tweaks.

HOW TO: Install Cydia Tweaks & Apps using Redsn0w 0.9.6b3

Sunday, November 21, 2010

Earlier today we posted that iPhone Dev Team has released Redsn0w 0.9.6b3 with OpenSSH and APT patches which is really useful for app developers who wants to try their Cydia tweaks and jailbreak apps on iOS 4.2.1.

As you know, Cydia is still broken on iOS 4.2.1 and the new version is not out yet but with the latest version of Redsn0w, you can install jailbreak apps without Cydia installed on your iOS device. Your jailbreak-app package must be in gzip-compressed tar format that Redsn0w can read and also it must be around 15MB in size. The iPhone Dev Team already released OpenSSH package can be download from here which is used to install OpenSSH using the instructions below.

STEP 1: Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b3 (Windows - Mac OS X).

STEP 2: Your device must be on iOS 4.2.1, and you have to save .IPSW firmware of iOS 4.2.1 on your desktop (helpful link).

STEP 3: Once you download Redsn0w, launch it and click Browse then select the suitable iOS 4.2.1 .IPSW file for your iOS device so RedSn0w can recognize it.

STEP 4: In this new page, mark on “Install Custom Bundle” & “Just boot tethered right now” options. Then select the package you want to install as shown in the screenshots below:

STEP 5: After few minutes, the tool will recognize the package then click on Next and you will be guided to put your iOS device in DFU mode.

STEP 6: Once your device in DFU mode, it will reboot with SSH package installed. Now use Cyberduck (Mac OS X) or WinSCP (Windows) to SHH into your device.

From now on, you will need to boot using Redsn0w whenever your device is rebooted until comex make iOS 4.2.x jailbreak untethered. So, whenever you want to SSH into your device, you must first run your device in the “jailbroken state” on every reboot by using “Just boot tethered right now” option in Redsn0w. We'll be happy to answer your questions. [via iPhoneItalia]

UPDATE 1: Here's how to install Cydia on jailbroken iOS 4.2.1 devices via SSH enabled devices, check full guide posted here.

Redsn0w 0.9.6b3 Coming Soon Including OpenSSH for Broken Cydia

Here's some good news for iOS users. MuscleNerd has just confirmed on his twitter account that he is about to release a new version of Redsn0w that makes patching Cydia on jailbroken iOS 4.2.1 device much easier. The new version will include OpenSSH to ease the process of installing Cydia on iOS 4.2.1.

MuscleNerd: @N44GGA we're about to release a small redsn0w update that will make that much easier

N44GGA: @MuscleNerd just need openssh included thanx

MuscleNerd: @N44GGA yep that's what it will have :)

So, the new version will include OpenSSH and you'll not need to install OpenSSH in the previous guides to patch the broken Cydia. Anyway, we'll keep you updated whenever the tool is out, or may be they surprise us with the new version of Cydia compatible with iOS 4.2.
