[How-To] - Jailbreak iOS 6 With Sn0wBreeze 2.9.7 (Widows) on Pre-A5 Devices (iPhone 4)

If you’re a Windows user, and you’ve been dying for an update to Sn0wBreeze, then your wait is over. As we posted earlier, Sn0wBreeze was updated to 2.9.7, and with it comes tethered support for pre-A5 devices running iOS 6 and iOS 6.0.1

For those of you who’ve been holding off until a Sn0wBreeze update, we’ve created a handy tutorial for you to follow, which shows you how to jailbreak iOS 6 and iOS 6.1 using Sn0wBreeze on Windows. Take a look inside for the full details…

Step 1: Download Sn0wBreeze 2.9.7 from our downloads page.

Step 2: Unzip the package and run sn0wbreeze-v2.9.7.exe as an administrator from the desktop.

Step 3: Click Okay > Next > and then Browse for IPSW. If you don’t know the location of your 6.0 or 6.0.1 firmware, you can download it by clicking the Download iOS Firmwares button instead. Alternatively, you can always download the necessary firmware for your device via our downloads page. It’s best to move any firmware file directly to the desktop for easy access.

Step 4: Once you select the proper IPSW file for your device, you should see a message stating that the file was verified. Click next.

Step 5: Click Simple Mode, and select Yes to Hacktivation. Your custom IPSW file will now be created, and it should appear on your desktop.

Step 6: Click OK, place your iDevice into DFU mode, and click Start to put the device into PwnedDFU mode using iReb. The screen on the iPhone should stay black.

Step 7: Once verified in PwnedDFU, open iTunes, and it should detect a device in recovery mode. Select your device from the list of available devices, and hold the Shift key on your keyboard while clicking the Restore. Select the custom IPSW file created by Sn0wBreeze i.e. sn0wbreeze_iPhone_4-GSM-6.0.1-10A523, and click OK.

Step 8: Your iDevice will restore like normal via iTunes, except this time you should notice a snowflake icon on your screen as it restores the custom firmware.

Step 9: Once your device is finished restoring, go through the normal setup process until you arrive at the Home screen. Swipe to the second page, and you should see Cydia. Since this is a tethered jailbreak, you cannot use Cydia until you perform a tethered boot.

Step 10: Place your device back into DFU mode.

Step 11: Open the iBooty folder located on the desktop and run iBooty.

Step 12: Select your device from the drop down menu, and click Start. The device will now tether boot, so that Cydia will be usable once it arrives back at the Home screen.

Step 13: Once at the Home screen, try opening Cydia. If Cydia opens, congratulations, you’ve successfully jailbroken your device using Sn0wBreeze 2.9.7 on Windows

[LATEST] - iOS 5 Untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 to be release Next Week (Between Jan 9-12, 2012)

• Latest news from Pod2g tweet today confirmed that we might see a release of Untethered Jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (i.e. A5 devices) by next week. 
• This is an awesome news for the A5 users. They have been waiting very patiently because their A4 counterparts (iPhone 4, iPad 1 etc) have their iOS 5.0.1 Jailbroken already.

[HOW-TO] - Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Untethered On iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G (A4 Devices) Using Redsn0w 0.9.10b1

Notes from Dev-Team:
Here are the basic steps for how to get it:

• The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G
• If you have one of those devices and are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now! The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1 If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW! See the guides at places like iClarified.com if you don’t know how. Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
• If you’re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect “Install Cydia” if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam. The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.
• Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration. If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup! You will most likely get into a reboot cycle. Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.

For Users On Stock iOS 5.0.1:

If your device is running stock iOS 5.0.1 then you can use download the latest Redsn0w 0.9.10b1 to for either Windows or Mac to give yourself an untethered jailbreak, instructions for which can be found below.

Here are the redsn0w download links:

• redsn0w 0.9.10b1 for OS X
• redsn0w 0.9.10b1 for Windows (be sure to run in Administrator mode)

UPDATE (Dec. 30, 2011): 

Here are the redsn0w download links:

• redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for OS X
• redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows (be sure to run in Administrator mode)

Step 1: Download the latest version of Redsn0w from the links given above.

Step 2: Start Redsn0w, select "Jailbreak" then check "Install Cydia". Follow the onscreen steps to place your device into DFU mode. Quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

Step 3: Wait for Redsn0w to apply the full untethered jailbreak!

Once done, your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will be rebooted into fully untethered jailbreak mode!

This full port of Siri is made for iPhone 4 GSM & CDMA versions and iPod Touch 4G only.
Other devices are currently not supported.

If you have previously installed a jailbreak tweak known as “Siri0us” which installed Siri dictation on iOS 5 devices, it’s better to remove it to prevent crashing and conflicting.

The guys known as CD-Team developed a tweak called “H1Siri” which brings Siri’s GUI and Siri connectivity to the team’s own servers. Siri will not be connected to Apple’s servers, instead, it will be connected to private servers.

How To Fully Port Siri On iPhone 4 & iPod Touch 4G

STEP 1: First of, you’ll need an iPhone 4 or iPod touch running iOS 5 / iOS 5.0.1. You can check our iOS firmware download page here.

STEP 2: You’ll also need to jailbreak your iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4G by using our guide posted here for iOS 5.

STEP 3: Once jailbroken, head to Cydia then Manage, Sources, Edit and finally hit Add.

STEP 4: Write the following repository and hit add:

http://www.cydia.be


OR


http://www.iphone3gsystem.fr/cydia


STEP 5: Get back to Cydia and search for H1Siri and install it. It will take some time since it weighs 109 MB.

STEP 6: After successful installation, give your device a reboot.

STEP 7: Now go to Settings, General, Siri and switch it to on.

Initially, I encountered an endless loop in the Recovery Mode but finally managed to resolve this using this method below.

[HOW-TO] - Fix iTunes Error 1013 When Updating iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3.1 [SOLVED]

I was trying to Jailbreak my iPhone iOS 4.3.1 today but encountered a big problem when it cannot exit from the Recovery Mode. I tried several methods to kick out of Recovery Mode using Tiny Umbrella and Fix Recovery but failed. The error 1013 kept appearing after restoring the iOS 4.3.1.

Finally, I found a simple solution shown below;

If you have tried updating to the recently released iOS 4.3.1 update on iPhone 4 and encountered Error Code 1013 or Error Code 1611, then you are a not alone.

This bug has apparently been reported to Apple but if you don’t fancy waiting for an official fix, you can follow this guide to try and successfully update your iOS device to 4.3.1.

Update (April 11, 2011) - Read this article regarding Apple official statement regarding the problem - "Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues"

Before doing so, you may also like to try and restore using a different computer.
Warning Note: This will result in your iPhone 4 baseband being upgraded to the latest version.

Mac OS X:
Step 1. On your Mac, go to your “Applications” folder.
Step 2. Now navigate to the “Utilities” folder.
Step 3. Launch “Terminal”.
Step 4. Type “sudo nano /etc/hosts” (without quotes) and hit return.

UPDATE (April 6, 2011)
Also try to check out this Tip from Karthik.

• In TinyUmbrella, go to Advanced tab and make sure you uncheck “Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit” option.
• As a double check, make sure you don’t have an entry in hosts file in your computer for gs.apple.com. If you do, comment it out and try the restore process again.

[UPDATE - April 11, 2011] - Someone posted and claimed that this error only happens to people who have tried Jailbreaking previously. Also checked another post here which stated:

"Well, another case of hurting the good, while trying to go after the bad. What the issue is apparently Apple put in a check point feature around version 4.2.1 that checks for users who are redirecting their connections to gs.appl.com. If the itunes process suspects this, your phone firmware management process stays in recovery mode. You get error 1013 which says you have a hardware error and list numerous hardware related things for you to check. So my iphone sat on my dresser for two months under the belief that I had a hard ware issue. Well the fact of the matter is that there was nothing wrong with my phone. Apparently there are users who jail brake their iphone to run other apps, and for those users, they have an entry in their hosts file that redirects gs.apple.com to a website that is set up to assists jail break users. all this not endorsed by apple. The checkpoint feature that apple put in to detect this uses a timer and waits for a response between your system and gs.apple.com. If the timer threashold elapses, an assumption is made that you are redirecting your gs.apple.com connection, and are a jail break user. Your phone gets put into recovery mode. Problem with this is that there are ligitimet users who have host files that are ligitemt and does not redirect their connections to gs.apple.com. In my case I use a 60,000 line hosts file to redirect adware, malware, and other vulnabilary type sites. The lenth of time for my PC to search thru this file exceeds the threashold period involved in the checkpoint process, and even though the gs.apple.com entry does not appear in my hosts file, an assumption was made that I was a redirection of gs.apple.com user, and my phone was put into recovery mode. to fix my problem I tempoaryily used the default hosts file of 

##

Host Database

#

localhost is used to configure the loopback interface

when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.

##

127.0.0.1 localhost

255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

I have no reason to prevent my system from talking to gs.apple.com. It just takes a little longer to do so. There are thousands of iphone users right now who have iphones locked into recovery mode, probably because they are on a slow internet connection and their threashold is being exceeded. These folks are innocent victims of of the pursuit of the jail break users. Apple needs to figure out another way to do this with out impacting loyal customers. Apple. shame on you. "

[HOW-TO] - Unlock iPhone 4 Basebands 2.10.04 / 3.10.01 with Gevey SIM

• Are you ready to unlock your iPhone 4 basebands?
• A new group of hacker called "Gevey Team" managed to unlock iPhone 4 running on iOS 4.1 and 4.2.1 basebands 2.10.04 and 3.10.01 using hardware tool.
• Initially when the 1st hardware tool unlock was released back during the iPhone 3G days, I used to try it but it gave me a BAD experience!
• The simcard always seems to be stuck in the simcard slot! I have to send for service centre to get it out. The additional thickness that caused it to get stucked.
• Thus - if you dare to try it, please beware...! You have been warned!

Upcoming iPhone 5 with bigger 4 inch display

A chinese site (ideals china)posted a possibly engineering designs of the upcoming iPhone 5. Its going to be much bigger than the current iPhone 4 (3.5”) with edge-to-edge screen and most likely to be ship with an upgraded A5 dual-core processor.

Purchased mophie juice pack air

• My iPhone 4 recently seems to drain the battery faster than ever. Most probably due to my high usage of Internet applications such as Whatsapp, Twitter, FB and Foursquare. In fact recently, when Whatsapp introduced its Group Chat, the traffic just increase tremendously.
• Thus, I decide to buy an extra battery pack - its either Mophie Juice Pack Air or the Exolife. However, after watching the videos regarding both batteries, I decided to buy the Juice Pack.
• First, I went to Machines in KLCC but it is out of stock even though one of my Twitter friends said they have in stock... :-(
• However, I finally purchased it at Mac Studio in Low Yat Plaza. The price is RM 318. But they only have either White or Red color. I was trying to get the black one but finally decided to get the White one (since Apple did not launch its White iPhone 4)...

• But later I realized the problem of getting the right iPhone 4 case for this. Due to its length, I cannot find any that suits it perfectly.

Unlock iPhone 4 - Ultrasn0w to release in Feb. 28

• As iPhone unlockers who are in touch with the latest news from the unlock world may be already aware, the iPhone Dev Team have announced that they will release the unlock for 2.10.04/3.10.01 only after iOS 4.3 is out.

[HOW-TO] - Downgrade iPad 2 And iPhone 4 From iOS 5 To iOS 4.3.3 With TinyCFW For Untethered Jailbreak

It’s worth noting that since TinyCFW was never intended for public release, it is rougher than Clint Eastwood’s beard. Don’t expect it to work flawlessly, and moreover, don’t complain if it doesn’t complete the job. Sure, it will modify an existing IPSW for an iPad 2 or iPhone 4 to update your baseband to the latest, and it will also create an IPSW which you can use with TinyUmbrella and iTunes to restore to a version of iOS of which you have conserved SHSH blobs. But, it’s not a jailbreak, nor an unlock, and will not protect your baseband, nor does it work with any device aside from the aforementioned.

Note:

TinyCFW only supports GSM version of iPad 2 and iPhone 4. All other iOS devices are not supported.
Requires Java
iOS 4.3.3 for iPhone 4 or iPad 2.
You’ll need 2.5GB of RAM, so your netbook probably won’t suffice this time around.
Step 1: Start the application by either double-clicking the .jar (for Mac) or running the .exe (for Windows), either of which can be found here.



Step 2: You’ll then be met with the application window. Click the top button and locate an IPSW you have saved SHSH blobs of.

Step 3: The app will then reveal the details of selected .IPSW such as firmware version and baseband, and also the baseband versions in the target .IPSW when you click the second button.

Step 4: Next, click ‘Save Target IPSW’ and let TinyCFW work its magic. Once the process is complete, you’ll be left with a file named .bbupdate.ipsw.

That’s it! You can now, via iTunes, (with TinyUmbrella playing the supporting role it does so well) restore your iPad 2 or iPhone 4 back to 4.3.3 (or other iOS 4 iterations), so long as you’ve saved the blobs in the past. Make sure your device is in DFU mode once you are performing the restore, otherwise it won’t work.

Once you have successfully downgraded back to iOS 4.3.3, follow our complete tutorial posted here on how to jailbreak on iOS 4.3.3 untethered using JailbreakMe.
