Malaysia Apple iPhone Fans Club

If you have read the previous post on “iPhone 3.0 SMS Security Vulnerability” and looking for way to fix the problem, here’s the fix for you.

Apple has announced the fix for the SMS Security Vulnerability, it’s a new firmware, version 3.0.1.

So, we are going to redo the steps you did when you upgrade to firmwares 3.0

Firstly, please make sure you have following files ready:

0) iTunes 8.2.1 (yes, Apple has new version of iTune recently.)

1.1) for iPhone 2G Firmware 3.0.1 – Click here to download
or download using iTune. (Warning! Big File 230MB.)

1.2) for iPhone 3G Firmware 3.0.1 – Click here to download
or download using iTune. (Warning! Big File 230MB.)

1.3) for iPhone 2G, Firmware 3.0 for 2G (please refer to previous post for link)

1.4) for iPhone 3G, Firmware 3.0 for 3G (please refer to previous post for link)

2) RedSn0w version 0.8 Jailbreak tool – Click here to download

3) Wireless Access for you to get UltraSn0w (if you don’t have wireless, there is another way. I’ll try post soon.)

OK! Now you should have all the requirements ready. Let’s do it!

The first jailbreaking application tool called purplera1n for the iPhone 3GS is now available. It will only allow the installation of unofficial third-party applications, but will not unlock the iPhone 3GS.

Check out http://purplera1n.com/ now!

George Hotz, a longtime Apple hacker, has released for the general public a tool that enables Windows users (not version 7) to jailbreak the iPhone 3GS, and older models running the 3.0 software update. The tool does not perform a carrier unlock, which would allow users to use sim cards from other wireless providers than the one they bought the device from.

However, the purplera1n jailbreak will free your iPhone from the limitations imposed on it by AT&T and Apple. After jailbreaking, a user will be able to customize the iPhone with home-screen wallpapers and third-party ringtones. But the biggest advantage of jailbreaking is the support of unapproved apps such as iBlackList (blacklists and whitelists for contacts) and many others.

But Hotz is not the usual suspect when it comes to releasing jailbreaking tools for the iPhone. By now, the iPhone Dev Team have been steadily releasing jailbreaking tools for the public. But the team has hesitated to release one for the iPhone 3GS because of the imminent release of the iPhone 3.1 software update (which would break any hacks the team has achieved).

It’s quite a while we are waiting for this. Now, with the launch of RedSn0w and UltraSn0w, we can jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3G which is on the official firmware 3.0 released by Apple by June 17th 2009.

Before you start any steps below, please get ready following things:

0) iTune 8.2
1) iPhone 3G Firmware 3.0 – Click here to download (Warning! Big File 230MB.)
2) RedSn0w Jailbreak tool – Click here to download
3) Wireless Access for you to get UltraSn0w (if you don’t have wireless, there is another way. I’ll try post soon.)

OK! Now you should have all the requirements ready. Let’s do it!

Finally! You can Jailbreak your iPhone on OS 3.0 Using RedSn0w (Windows)!

What is RedSn0w?
redsn0w is an easy to use, multi-platform, multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking (iPhone 2G only) tool for the iPhone 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.
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).

I was getting an email from one of the reader few days back regarding his iPhone problem which SpringBoard always crash while playing games. I would suggest you try SwapMode, an application from Cydia(jailbreak your iPhone if you wanna try this).

Basically SwapMode will allow you to switch between normal and game mode. Game Mode will turn off background services and SpringBoard Extensions such as SBSettings, iHome, etc. Your device will behaves as if it is freshly jailbroken with no app and extension installed, thus reducing the chances of system crash during game play. Normal Mode: Revert device to normal operation. Re-boot if necessary should it experience any abnormality.

Attention! QuickPWN 3.0 Beta 2 is out! This is an unofficial release and it’s not created by the iPhone Dev Team.

I know there are iPhone developers out there who want to upgrade to iPhone 3.0, iPod Touch 3.0, or iPhone 3G 3.0, but also want to keep their jailbreak. The Russian hacker Vortex has once again released an unofficial jailbreak at iPhoneApps.ru. I tried it on my iPod Touch with firmware 3.0 beta 2 and it works! You can only jailbreak on the iPhone 3.0 Beta 2, iPhone 3G 3.0 beta 2, and iPod Touch 1st Gen beta 3.0. It’s 3.2 MB only because it install’s RiPDev’s Icy program. Once you’ve jailbroken you need to open Icy, refresh all the sources and install OpenSSH to jailbreak. If you need any help please join the iPhone OS 3.0 forums and ask for help there.

Let us know if you make it work and please share your experience.

Note: This is BETA software, and some jailbroken apps may not work. Continue discussion in the iPhone OS 3.0 forum.

According to Engadget, we’re noticed that the images show a jailbroken phone, complete with Installer app, SMBPrefs, and the iWood Realize theme from the iSpazio repository.

To those of you saying that this is in reference to one of the claims of the patent, we’re not so sure — there’s no reason for Apple to use images of a jailbroken phone to make that specific point. Remember, somebody drew this picture, they didn’t have to use these specific icons or this theme to illustrate Springboard variations.

As all of us know that, there are no “Official unlock” iPhone in Malaysia from any of our Mobile Service Provider until Mid of March 2009 (Maxis come out plan for iPhone 3G by mid of March 2009, you can get it with Holy High price).

For those who get their iPhone 2G or 3G from whatever way and use them in Malaysia, normally is Jailbreak set.

What do we mean Jailbreak? iPhone, by default, is locked to one of the Mobile Service Provider, like AT&T. You can only use AT&T simcard and service if you go through the “normal” way. It will NOT work on Maxis, Digi, or Celcom.

So, how do we enable an iPhone in Malaysia and use with our Local Mobile Service Provider? We jailbreak and unlock the iPhone.

Before you continue, please read this carefully! One step wrong will brick your iPhone and make it no more usable! Do it at your OWN RISK!!!

If you found yourself confuse with what I write here, please DO NOT continue to do the job yourself. Find someone who can know this, or better still, pay someone to do the job for you, so that you DO NOT brick (brick in iPhone term, means you corrupted the firmware and even baseband, and the phone is NO MORE bootable) your iPhone!!!
