Frash 0.02 — Flash On iPhone 4 and iPad

Based on Comex’s code, digitaldj compiled this for everyone to use — It’s flash for your iPhone 4 and iPad! There have been many different apps that ‘enable’ Flash on the iPhone but none of them worked out very well. This seems to have some potential, only time will tell how good it’ll get.

To install: (Note: You must have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad)

1. Download the precompiled binary and SFTP it to /tmp on your iPhone/iPad
2. SSH into your phone as root and type:
dpkg -i /tmp/Frash-0.02.deb NOTE: If you had Frash 0.01 installed on your iPad, remove it first (look for it in Cydia packages). Also, I haven’t yet tested this on iPad, but it certainly works on iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0.1.
3. Reboot your device (you shouldn’t need to)

iPhone 4 Unlock with ultrasn0w 1.0-1

If you haven’t already, add this repo — repo666.ultrasn0w.com — to Cydia and unlock that new iPhone 4 of yours. It’s this easy:



ultrasn0w version 1.0-1 works on:

* iPhone4 baseband 01.59
* 3G/3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.04

Props to the iPhone Dev-Team. Nice work.

Jailbreak iPhone 4 and iOS via MobileSafari with JailbreakMe 2.0 Star

Update #2: After following Marc’s advise in the comments below, turning OFF Pop-up blocker on Safari helped my issue with using Jailbreakme 2.0 Star on my iPad WiFi+3G. I also did the following:

• Cleared cache and cookies in Settings -> Safari
• I also turned OFF “Block Pop-ups” Settings -> Safari as per Marc’s advise
• Rebooted

If nothing seems to be working for you. Try using http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com/ or http://www.jailbreakme.com/ — Exactly as shown there.

Let us know how it works out for you!

iPhone Dev Team’s member, Comex, has released a stunning new jailbreak for, apparently, all iOS devices and it’s all performed via Mobile Safari with JailBreakMe 2.0 star — Yup, just like the old days.

To jailbreak with JailbreakMe:

1. Head over to http://www.jailbreakme.com on your iOS device
2. Slide to jailbreak on the screen
3. Mobile Safari will download some stuff
4. Then, the jailbreak process will begin
5. Don’t panic, jailbreak process will take a while
6. Once it’s done, you’ll get a confirmation notice and Cydia will now be on your home screen!

I can verify it works on an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0 — 9to5mac verified it worked an iPad and iPhone 4 running 4.0.1 — this will NOT work on iOS devices running iOS 4.1 beta.

Note: Please make sure you back up your stuff before you attempt this. You can never be too safe. Use strictly at your own risk — Sure it worked for me, but it can fail for you or someone else.

Back Up your SHSH Blobs Before It’s Too Late

I don’t exactly understand the concept behind backing up your devices SHSH Blobs, but apparently it allows you to restore from 4.1, for example, back down to 4.0. If the SHSH Blobs aren’t backed up, you’re pretty much out of luck as far as I know.

That being said, MuscleNerd posted the following on Twitter:

The 4.0 window for 3GS, ipt3G, + iPhone4 SHSH blobs is closing soon! Backup your blobs using http://is.gd/dskh9 or Cydia

You can use Tiny Umbrella or Cydia (if it’s already on your device) to back up your SHSH Blobs.

1. Device does NOT need to be Jailbroken in order to save SHSH
2. It does not matter what firmware version is on the device TinyUmbrella will get the currently signed firmware by default.
3. TinyUmbrella saves the file locally AND sends the request to Cydia so Cydia will have the SHSH as well.
4. If Cydia’s TSS server is down, your only option will be to use TinyUmbrella for restoring through iTunes

Redsn0w 0.9.5 Beta – How To Jailbreak iOS 4

Redsn0w is iPhone Dev Team’s tool to jailbreak iOS (iPhone OS). Much like iPhone Dev Team’s PwnageTool or ih8sn0w’s sn0wbreeze, both which can jailbreak iOS4 as well. Redsn0w is both for Mac OS X and Windows PC.

This is a beta release of redsn0w. It uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that we’ve been using since the 2.x days. Nothing new is revealed to Apple, and it’s not applicable to the iPad.

This beta release supports:

• iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G only (for now)
• Mac OSX x86 and Windows only (for now)
• the 4.0 official FW only (for now)

If you’ve already updated your device to 4.0, the next steps are:

1. Make sure you’ve already activated your iPhone3G or iPod Touch 2G with iTunes
2. Launch the beta redsn0w 0.9.5b5
3. Select your stock 4.0 ipsw (you’ve already used this to update your device to 4.0)
4. Select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”. Use DFU mode to install the jailbreak.
5. When your device comes back up, you’ll notice Cydia has a blank white icon Allow Cydia to reorganize, then accept the update it offers. When Cydia restarts, you should see its real logo now.

This is BETA software and many things may go wrong, use strictly at your own risk!

iPhone Dev Team Releases PwnageTool 4.0.1 — Jailbreak iOS 4

Sorry for the delay, I somehow missed this. Anyway, the iPhone Dev Team have updated their jailbreaking tool, PwnageTool, to jailbreak the latest and greatest, iOS 4.

Remember, PwnageTool is Mac OS X only.

Since iOS 4 isn’t compatible with a number of Apple devices, these devices are not compatible with PwnageTool v4.0.1:

• IPhone 2G – not supported
• iPod Touch – not supported
• iPod Touch 3G – not supported

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 4.0.1 and restore with your jailbroken recovery mode. 
• If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by 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.

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).

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).

Now that you know what devices to use PwnageTool 4.0.1 with, start jailbreaking iOS4 and enjoy the iPhone Hacks!
