[iPhone] iPhone Dev Team Release RedSn0w Unlock Solution

1 Reply

From the iPhone Dev Team’s Wiki:

What is it?

A cross-platform jailbreaking, unlocking, and customizing tool for iPhones and iPod touches. Customizations include boot logos, recovery logos, and “verbose” boot. It’s a standalone program that doesn’t use iTunes (no custom IPSWs are involved).

The download links are at the bottom of this page (but please read the whole page anyway!).

We’ve been offering redsn0w in various incarnations over the years (including poorlad’s Windows version of QuickPwn). The most recent release before this one was redsn0w 0.8, which targeted Apple firmware 3.0/3.0.1.

[iPhone] Multi-Tasking With Multifl0w

Leave a reply

Multifl0w is an attempt to bring multi-tasking capabilities known from our latest toy – the Palm Pre – to the iPhone. Sadly this nice (and overdue) feature is only available to iPhone customers having jailbroken their devices.

It does not feature the Palm Pre’s multitasking gestures nor the ‘swipe up to exit’ functionality, but it seems to be a first good step into bringing the iPhone to the technological presence.

There is a free trial available via Cydia and Rockyourphone. It costs about 5US$.

Check this video and the Multifl0w website for further details:

[iPhone] Commercial Unlocking Scammers

It is well known, that there are commercial thieves who use freely available programs and ideas by the iPhone Dev Team, GeoHot, Chronic Dev Team and others.

We highly recommend not to buy any unlocking or jailbreaking solution. They are available for free.

We prepped a list of current scammers making a business modell out of other people’s efforts. The links don’t work as we don’t want you to go there.

  • iPhone Unlocking Solutions (http://www.unlock-the-iphone.com)
  • iPhone Unlock UK (http://www.iphoneunlockuk.com)
  • iPhone Unlocking (http://www.iphoneunlocking.com)
  • iPhone Unlock Australia (http://www.iphoneunlockaustralia.com)

  • Unlock Ur iPhone Now (http://www.unlockuriphonenow.com)
  • Unlocked iPhone (http://www.unlockediphone.info)
  • Unlock Any iPhone (http://www.unlockanyiphone.net)

iPhone unlocking seems to be a large market. Say any of these companies sold 5,000 unlocks (which is a quite conservative estimation). For an average price of 25US$. This makes 125,000US$ for setting up a stupid internet page with stolen and repackaged content.

[iPhone] Virus Worm Spreading on Jailbroken iPhones

Leave a reply

Apple must be pleased about this news. They haven’t become tired in telling the people that jailbreaking the iPhone seriously compromises user security.

And now a worm developed by Ashley Towns from down under is nothing else but attacking jailbroken iPhones whose Secure Shell has not been disabled or where the default root password (“alpine”) is in place.

Luckily the first version of the worm was almost imperfect as it just changed the background wallpaper to a photograph of Rock Astley – yes rickrolled again. Anyway ITBusinessEdge now reports that a second version of the worm has been seen in the wild. This new version of the worm gives no indication that it has successfully compromised your jesus phone. Beware guys.

Now, will we get virus scanners for our jailbroken iPhones? Will it be necessary to run firewalls?

It seems like irony, but it seriously looks like that all the probs Microsoft’s operating systems have had for years with viruses and worms – just because Windows is the most widespread desktop operating system – are now coming to the iPhone.

[iPhone] O2 Unlocking UK Customers’ iPhones

Leave a reply

The competition in the UK seems to be getting hard around the jesus phone. Orange just released the iPhone 3GS for their network.

O2 seems to be feeling they needed to come up with something that mostly only the iPhone Dev Team or GeoHot could provide: an unlock.

The unlock is offered under the following conditions:

  • customers paying monthly can unlock at any time for free but the minimum term of contract has to be fullfilled
  • pay and go customers can unlock after 12 months for a fee of 15GBP

Unlocking will take up to 14 days. Unlocking customers will receive an SMS confirming the unlock. iTunes will then confirm that the iPhone has been unlocked successfully.

[iPhone] GeoHot Announces Latest Baseband Unlock

Leave a reply

George Hotz – by now almost any iPhone user should know that guy – hacked the latest baseband firmware 05.11.07. The unlock will be named BlackSn0w, well …

That means all carrier or SIM locked iPhones around the globe running this latest firmware can be used with different SIM cards from different carriers. Thus making holidays no roaming fee horror show.

Information about the unlock procedures will be released on BlackRa1n.com on Nov 04, 2009. Until then, enjoy GeoHot’s video proof:

Kudos fly out to GeoHot. Standing work, dude. But why the hell is there always Snow, Rain, Snow, Rain. Why no sunshine, guys?

[iPhone] Latest iPhone 3GS Contain New Bootloader

Leave a reply

The latest manufactured iPhone 3GS devices seem to contain new bootloaders, which can not be compromised using the 24k bug. Although Musclenerd of the iPhone Dev Team paints a dark future, Mathieu Hervais expects that there are still ways thru the chain of trust in order to jailbreak.

P.S. To find out which Bootrom your iPhone got, just get yourself a Mac and check system profiler while your iPhone is in DFU mode.

[iPhone] GeoHot Releases Jailbreak for 3.x Called BlackRa1n

Leave a reply

Today notorious GeoHot released a standing new jailbreak tool called BlackRa1n. BlackRa1n is currently only available for Microsoft Windows. It is supposed to jailbreak any 3.x based iPhone or iPod touch. No matter if you’ve jailbroken before or not.

BlackRa1n is fairly self explaining and straight forward designed. It’ll bring your iPhone or iPod Touch automatically into Recovery Mode.

Sadly currently BlackRa1n does not hacktivate your iPhone. So you still need a valid subscription with an Apple licensed carrier or a factory unlocked iPhone.

Kudos fly out to GeoHot. Standing work again.
