As previously posted, DevTeam has released PwnageTool 4.01 for the MAC, this will allow us to make a custom iOS4 firmware to put on our iPhones.
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.
Video:
NOTE: With 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 the software.
iPhone 2G – not supported
iPod Touch – not supported
iPod Touch 3G – not supported
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 4.0 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.
If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.0 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.
IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.
iPhone 3GS
Summary: 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 recovery mode.
If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0
iPod touch 2G
If you have an iPod touch 2G that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.
Baseband Unlock
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 4.0, 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).
1. Connect your iOS device and load PwnageTool 4.01…
2. Select ‘Expert Mode’ and you iOS device and click next…
3. Now the tool will search your computer for iOS 4 stock firmware. If it won’t find it, browse for it yourself…
4. Now select ‘General’ and click next…
5. On the next screen you will have the options to:
activate the phone (ONLY if you are not on a official carrier )
activate iOS 4 functions Apple intentionally blocked on iPhone 3G and iTouch 2G
increase the root partition size ( or leave it as it is )
6. On the next screen you will be able to pre-install Cydia sources and packages
7. On the next screen you will be able to install DevTeam’s custom boot logos, install your own custom boot logos, or continue to use Apple’s boot logos
8. Now select build, and wait for PwnageTool 4.01 to build your custom firmware.
8.1 While creating the custom firmware, PwnageTool will ask you for your computer’s password. Type it in, and continue…
9. Now it’s time to put your iOS device in DFU mode. Don’t worry if you mess it up, because you can try it as many times as you want..
10. When your iOS device is in DFU mode, load iTunes ( which will prompt you that it has found a device in recovery mode ) , ‘alt+restore’ and browse for the custom firmware you just created..
11. That’s it. Enjoy…
NOTE: IF Cydia icon is blank, load the app, go to Manage>Sources>Add and add the following source: http://apt.saurik.com/cydia-3.7
Earlier this week Paul covered the news of Android being ported to the iPhone, which is something that creates a whole new world of opportunities for the iPhone.
However, not everyone is always comfortable with taking on such a task, as the fear of messing things up or simply because they don’t want to give up their iPhone OS. I mean, who can blame them, we bought iPhone’s not Droids. However, Androidalot has put together a fantastic guide which will give you a step by step setup instructions to actually dual boot both your iPhone OS and the Android OS so you don’t have to commit to one side.
While we do not take any credit for this guide, please do not go nuts if you mess this up. Follow the guide step by step and you should be good to go. This is a long guide, and you’ll need to spend some time getting things setup, however this guide is made for even the beginner
planetbeing – the man who did all the hard work! WinXBlog – guide for getting openiboot running Geekoid – for the full system images The entire Android and iPhone dev communities, making all this stuff a reality! Anyone I missed? Sorry if I have but feel free to tell me. I don’t want any credit for other peoples work.
A method for malicious attackers to attack and infect others’ computers is by offering fake anti-virus software, which does everything malware does except actually scanning and cleaning viruses. Most of the fake rogue anti-virus programs managed to install on a computer through Trojan, false advertisement, security exploit or backdoor.
Once installed with a fake anti-virus such as Internet Antivirus Pro, instead of staying clean from virus, the computer will report false virus infection, alarming parasite infection, bogus system scan and display fake security alerts. The purpose is to convince end-user that the computer is infected with virus, Trojan, or malware, and then pay to purchase full licensed version product or instruction for removal of infections, which never happens.
While most fake anti-virus software mainly focuses on scam to cheat money from computer users, some rogue anti-virus programs may do more harm, such as hijack browser settings, change browser’s homepage, perform keys logging, or serves as backdoor for more malicious intent such as remote control the computer or spread viruses. The rogue software itself can also be a virus or Trojan.
Users who have computer installed and infected with fake anti-virus program can download Remove Fake Antivirus freeware to remove, delete, uninstall and clean the illegitimate anti-virus programs from computer system.
Remove Fake Antivirus (RFA) can remove the following rough software (as of version 1.63):
Create separate Wi-Fi network names to identify each band. This can be done easily by appending one or more characters to the current network name.Example: Add a G to the 802.11b/g network name and an N to the 802.11n network name.
Ensure that both networks use the same security type (WEP, WPA, WPA2, and so on).
Update the Wi-Fi router firmware if it’s not up to date.
If the issue persists, reset the iPad network settings using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
While we don’t mind the Windows 7 Start Menu icon, and actually feel it’s somewhat of a leap forward from the rectangular buttons of old, swapping out the orb for a new icon is quick and painless with the help of Kishan-Bagaria’s Windows 7 Start Orb Changer.
Extract the main folder (W7SBC) anyplace you like and take a look at Must Read.txt for detailed instructions — or read on for the general overview.
Leave all of the files in the W7SBC folder and run Windows 7 Start Button Changer.exe. Click Select & Change Start Button to browse for a new set of icons — a few are included with the utility. Once selected, the program will backup explorer.exe and swap the icons.
If you dislike the change, choose Restore Original Explorer Backup before repeating the steps above. Once your original explorer.exe is in place, continue swapping icons until you find something you like.
Windows x64 users: if you receive an “unhandled exception” error, the utility’s creator suggests that you try to run it as an admin, so it’s probably best to just do that from the get-go (right click on the program > Run as administrator). For what it’s worth, I’ve used this tool trouble free on Windows 7 Home Premium x64 without running it as an admin.
You might find the base selection of icons limited, and unfortunately, I haven’t found the perfect repository of orbs, but there are quite a few scattered around the Web — especially on DeviantArt. Someone on SevenForums has also put together a useful collection of 213 orbs, so there’s bound to be something you like there too.
If you find any other cool orbs or have another favorite Windows 7 customization, feel free to share them in the comments.
The iPhone Dev team has finally released the PwnageTool 3.1.5 for the Mac which is easily the best tool to Jailbreak iPhone with OS 3.1.3 for you.
NOTE: This is for the Mac users only. If you use the blacksn0w unlock at baseband 05.11.07 you need to stay at 3.1.2. iPhone 3GS users not having SHSH Hashes must stay away from iPhone 3.1.3 firmware.
Here’s what you need to Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.3:
Finally Redsnow has been released and its ready to jailbreak iPhones with the 3.1.3 firmware and also iPod Touch. Though for now the Redsnow 0.9.4 does not support the iPhone 3GS and the iPod Touch 3G and also some new versions of the iPod Touch 2G.
If you still haven’t got redsn0w 0.9.4, download it from here:
If you can’t get enough of Twitter, here is another cool little web application that will make sure you don’t miss out on Twitter juice even while you’re using Google Talk. Most of my friends are on Google talk but Google Talk isn’t a great news spreading tool like twitter. Twitter2Gtalk is just the prefect tool to use Google Talk as a powerful social media tool. Your twitter updates are sent every 5 to 15minutes to your Gtalk status and your friends won’t get annoyed with @Replies as none are sent. As the application is powered by Google’s own Appengine, all you got to do is login with your Google account id and password and fill in the details in the settings page, Twitter updates will be up and running in not time .
