No Greenpois0n for iPhone 3GS Jailbreak on iOS 4.1

On October 8, 2010, in News, by TechAdmin

NO Greenpois0n for iPhone 3GS users to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on new bootrom! Chronic Dev Team’s Greenpois0n jailbreak is releasing on Sunday. Based on SHAtter exploit, discovered by Pod2G, Greenpois0n will jailbreak iPhone 4 4.1, iPod Touch 4G 4.1 and iPad 3.2.2 / 4.2. Older devices are not supported with SHAtter as the exploit is possible with A4 chips only that aren’t there in older devices.

iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G users can already jailbreak iOS 4.1 with redsn0w 0.9.6. But poor iPhone 3GS new bootrom users are, yet again, out of luck. Same is true for iPod Touch 3G users. Here is what MuscleNerd had to say about iPod Touch 3G jailbreak on iOS 4.1:

no, the underlying SHAtter exploit doesn’t work on that device. Wait for the next userland JB from comex for that.

that device is in the worst of all positions for a 4.1 JB. (Wait for next userland JB from comex)

Here are tweets confirming unavailability of Greenpois0n for iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G and older devices:

notcom: To all asking. Yes unfortunately SHAtter just won’t work with anything but the 4th gen devices :(

chpwn: Please remember that SHAtter and greenpoison are /only/ possible on the fourth-gen devices: iPad, iPhone 4, and iPod touch 4G.

So, no SHAtter based greenpois0n for iPhone 3GS.

How to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS iOS 4.1 with PwnageTool for Mac [Unofficial]

On September 9, 2010, in Hacks, How to, by TechAdmin

You can already jailbreak iPhone 3GS iOS 4.1 with PwnageTool. It, however, is neither official version of PwnageTool nor is tested. So, follow at your own risk. Here is step by step guide to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on iPhone 3GS with unofficial PwnageTool:

Jailbreak iPhone 3GS (iOS 4.1) with PwnageTool

Downloads:

How-to Guide:

Step 1: Launch the modified PwnageTool and connect iPhone 3GS to your computer.

Step 2: Select Expert Mode / Advanced Mode and make sure your device is selected correctly (iPhone 3GS) and move ahead.

Step 3: In the next step, PwnageTool will attempt to select your firmware IPSW file automatically. If you have more than 1 IPSW files on your Mac then browse for the original iOS 4.1 firmware and select it. Then hit next.

Step 4: Customization options will appear, select “Global” and click next.

Step 5: In the next step, uncheck / deselect “Activate the iPhone” if you are not on official carrier and rely on unlock.

Step 6: Next you have to select iPhone partition size, keep it default (recommended) or change if you want to.

Step 7: (Optional) Now you’ll be selecting the repositories that you need. Repositories can later be managed in Cydia as well so you can skip this step.

Step 8: Now click “Create” and PwnageTool will start cooking custom iOS 4.1 IPSW for your iPhone 3GS. Specify a location and wait till the process completes.

Step 9: Now load custom IPSW in your iPhone using iTunes 10 and enjoy the iOS 4.1 jailbreak. If you need help on how to load custom IPSW proceed to step 10:

Step 10: Loading Custom IPSW: Launch iTunes 10, select your device from the sidebar, Mac: press and hold Alt key and click on “Restore”. (Important: Don’t click on “Update” or “Check for Updates”). Now browse for the custom IPSW that you just prepared with PwnageTool.

If loading IPSW doesn’t go well, try doing it in DFU mode.

Thanks to Pete for correcting us. It’s for iPhone 3GS, not for 3G. We appologize for confusion.

Real Racing HD

FireMint Flight Control & Real Racing 3D are now Game Center compatible. Both of games were recently updated to support GameCenter features like achievements and leaderboards. According to official blog post from FireMint:

Firemint has added Game Center functionality in Flight Control and Real Racing. You can also view achievements and leaderboards in the game or on the Cloudcell web site, so if you have an older device you won’t miss out!

Up till now, only Ms. Pacman was GameCenter compatible. So these two popular games are bound to receive warm welcome in the GameCenter community. Go and try them out.

iPod Touch 4G RAM: 256 MB

On September 8, 2010, in Gadgets, by TechAdmin

I don’t know if this comes as a shock or surprise but iPod Touch 4G RAM is just 256 MB. This was confirmed by gruber on Twitter, saying:

Ways that the iPod Touch is crappier than iPhone 4:

  • only 256 MB of RAM;
  • non-IPS display;
  • worse camera(s);
  • no GPS;

This very much tells the difference. It still runs FaceTime and GameCenter though, things that poor iPhone 3G can’t run.

H0tB33f Jailbreak iOS 4.1 is FAKE!

On September 8, 2010, in News, by TechAdmin

H0tBeef Jailbreak is FAKE! It’s been confirmed by p0sixninja.

H0tB33f jailbreak might be the next iOS 4.1 jailbreak. H0tB33f dev team have also posted a video showing iPhone jailbreak with H0tb33f. Video was posted back in March 2010, here’s video:

We’ll not go in details of it whether it looks fake or real. What makes you believe in H0tB33f jailbreak is not the video but recent tweets from leading iPhone devs. Earlier, comex casually tweeted saying the next jailbreak might not be from him, this is what he said exactly:

next jb might not come from me :D

in reply to:

will definately donate when u come up with next jb,even if it take’s weeks to get it done, my 3gs runs on jb while i4 waiting for it

This followed another discussion between p0sixninja and cdevwill:

P0sixninja said:

what do you mean? We all know the next JB will be from h0tb33fdev

in response to cdevwill:

Btw, I was not referring to anyone in particular, but articles saying things like OMG NEXT JB MAYBE ISNT FROM COMEX are just plain dumb.

It might or might not be true but from a user’s perspective, it shouldn’t matter from where they come as long as they’re coming.
