foursome news

From the incredible iPhone Dev Team:

PwnageTool 4.0 Release Info

PwnageTool 4.01 Release Info (UPDATED TO V 4.01)


On Monday, Apple released firmware 4.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch devices. This of course was a major upgrade.

As advised, you shouldn’t have upgraded your devices if you have previously relied on our tools for hacktivation and/or a carrier unlock.

With that said, today we are releasing PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST CAREFULLY, THERE ARE KNOWN UPGRADE TRAPS AND DIFFERENT UPGRADE SCENARIOS THAT NEED TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD AND CONSIDERED BEFORE USING THESE TOOLS.

Each supported device has few different scenarios that users need to consider when performing the upgrades, you need to check below and perform the upgrade in the particular way that matches your current device state.


NB: With PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01 certain devices are not supported this is because they are not supported in iOS 4.0 or they are not supported by our software. We’re working on ways to get past these restrictions.

-iPhone 2G - not supported
-iPod Touch - not supported
-iPod Touch 3G - not supported


PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01 only recognizes the official IPSWs that came out yesterday. If you had developer access to the “4.0 GM” IPSWs, do not try to use those.

iPhone 3GS

Summary: Currently, PwnageTool only works on previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom.

If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS with the OLD BOOTROM and you DID NOT use Spirit to jailbreak then you can create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore with your jailbroken recovery mode.
If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01

iPhone 3G

-If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.01 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.
-If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.01 ipsw using DFU mode.
-If you have a Jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone 3G it is very possible that this can fail from recovery mode, if this failure happens you will need to restore using DFU mode.
-As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on iPhone 3G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.
IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.

iPod touch 2G

-If you have an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.
-As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on non-MC iPod Touch 2G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

Baseband Unlock

-As you probably know by now, ultrasn0w has been updated to cover all basebands from 04.26.08 onward. Many thanks to @sherif_hashim for finding the crashing command that the new ultrasn0w 0.93 uses! He worked hard at finding the crash, and he kept it confidential until the right time to use it.
-Major props to @oranav (who found the earlier +xlog crash). He also had this crashing command!
-iPhone 3G and 3GS baseband unlockers (those who rely on ultrasn0w to make phone calls) should always be very wary to update their firmware, however our Ultrasn0w application will unlock all recent (including the current) 3GS and 3G baseband firmware versions. Once you are jailbroken using PwnageTool 4.01, install ultrasn0w from Cydia and you’ll be unlocked.
-Remember! This baseband unlock situation is rare, should you upgrade your iPhone blindly at the next iOS release please don’t expect an unlock - but for now you are OK (whatever state your baseband is in).
Please feel free to ask any questions in the comment section below. We’ve got a bunch of expert help there, including our friendly moderators confucious and angie!

Best Selling iPod/iPhone Accessory Device!

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

all four one!

From the Dev-Team Blog:

Around an hour ago the new version of the iPhone Operating System (now called ‘iOS’) was released.

iOS 4 is a huge release for Apple with many many changes and those changes offer slick additional features.

These new features are being offered by Apple as a free upgrade to qualifying devices.

We are working hard on a release to our tools that will jailbreak your device (or give you iOS 4 via the jailbreak train) and provide you with a carrier unlock.

Until these tools are released you should hold off on updating your device until we have fully tested our tools with all the relevant devices.

If you rely on hacktivation or a carrier unlock (ultrasn0w) then you should not upgrade until we have fully tested and released our tools.

Don’t be tempted with unofficial PwnageTool/redsn0w bundles or releases, just check here or our team twitter for real time release information.

Remember, we risk our devices so you don’t have to (but this time anyone who has made a mistake upgrading their baseband firmware should be OK real soon ;) Now! :)



Update #1: redsn0w beta has been updated to hacktivate iOS 4.0 for iPhone3G (in addition to jailbreaking the iPhone3G and iPod Touch 2G). The download links for redsn0w 0.9.5b5-3 are:

Mac OSX (x86)
Windows

For now, the redsn0w beta release supports only the iPhone3G and iPod Touch 2G at today’s 4.0. It’s still a beta, so you’ll need to let Cydia reorganize, reload, and update after using redsn0w.

Update #2: There’s a new redsn0w beta (links were changed above) that should fix any iBooks problems people were seeing. Just run this new version 0.9.5b5-4 and deselect Cydia (you don’t want to reinstall Cydia over itself).

How to Install/Sync cracked Apps with AppSync on iPhone 3.0+

If you have upgraded to the latest Apple OS 3.0 or higher, all of your cracked apps might be lost as iTunes will not recognize them as purchased apps. You will need to repatch the OS with application called APPSYNC available in Cydia under the Hackulo.us repository.

-Go to Cydia
-Tap on Manage tab
-Tap on sources
-Tap on “Edit” and then on “Add” , type in the hackulo.us repository which is http://cydia.hackulo.us
-Tap on Add Source
-After the source is added, go to “Search” in Cydia and search for AppSync for OS 3.0
-Install and Confirm
-Select the applications you want and click sync, they will be synced without any errors

Now you can freely sync your jailbroken apps via iTunes to your iPod Touch 1G/2G and iPhone.

If you are using OS 4.0 on your iPhone/iPod Touch there is good news for you. Now, you can sync your cracked apps on your iPhone/iPod Touch with AppSync 4.0.


AppSync 4.0 patches MobileInstallation file on OS 4.0, and hence allows you to install .ipa files on iPhone/iPod Touch.

Note: Install a free app from iTunes before going for cracked apps.

AppSync 4.0 is available on Cydia via Hackulous repo for free.

iPhone 4.0

iPhone 4 phone was announced June 7, 2010 during the official World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC 2010). Apple is saying “This phone changes everything. Again.”, but does it really? We certainly think it does. Read on to find out more about this amazing new Apple phone.

iPhone 4 Features

FaceTime



Want to have a video chat with another iPhone 4 user? You can easily do that thanks to the FaceTime feature in iPhone 4. All you need to do is find your friend that you want to have a video chat with in the Contacts application, and tap on the FaceTime button to start a video call. If you’re already in a phone call with the person you want to have a video chat with, you can simply tap the FaceTime button on the iPhone 4 call screen. Your friend can either accept or deny the video call. FaceTime works in both portrait and landscape mode. You can also use either the front camera or the back camera of the iPhone 4 to have a video chat. It’s recommended that you use the front camera because the front camera has been fine tuned for FaceTime.

Retina Display


See the display screens of both the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 up there? The quality of the iPhone 4 is way better. The iPhone 4 has the sharpest, most vibrant, and highest screen resolution in the smartphone market according to Apple.
