iPhone OS 3.1 beta 2 released

Jas — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:03:13 +0000

Apple iPhone OS 3.1 beta 2 have been released.

Unless you have a developer account with Apple, don’t bother plugging your iPhone into iTunes — we promise you’re not going to have access to it — but devs can now get their grubby paws on beta 2 of iPhone OS 3.1. We’ll let you know if we see anything crazy, like usable Gmail, true background applications, or a notification UI that doesn’t make you want to throw the phone against a very hard surface at high velocity.

Update: Looks like Apple has closed the door on hacks that enable tethering in this release — at least for AT&T according to early reports.

Update 2: We’ve just been informed that beta 2 also introduces what appears to be a public API for manipulating live video. Devs are still testing the capabilities but it could open the door for augmented reality applications like Layar to come to the iPhone 3GS.

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone on OS 3.0 Using RedSn0w (Windows)

Jas — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 07:44:26 +0000

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).

Do you know NOT all Apps are 3.0 Ready?

While waiting for UltraSnow jailbreak, do you know this?

Keep in mind that NOT all iPhone Apps are 3.0 ready. I would said give it a week or two, for all the apps to make it through the Apps Store review process.

Yes, Facebook is NOT ready with OS 3.0.

Just keep your fingers crossed that they don’t reference any swears in their apps.

QuickPWN 3.0 BETA Jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 2

iPhone OS 3.0 beta 5 now available

Jas — Thu, 07 May 2009 03:38:59 +0000

Looks like Apple’s just released iPhone OS 3.0 beta 5, a little over one week after its last revision. That’s about half the time they’ve put between the previous updates — seems the boys in Cupertino are really starting to churn these things out. You know the drill by now, we don’t know yet what the update entails, but we’ll tell you when we find out. Oh, and just like last time, it appears iTunes 8.2 is required.

QuickPWN 3.0 BETA Jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 2

Jas — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:01:57 +0000

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.
