SHAtter Jailbreak Exploit will Pwn iPhone 4, iPad & iPod Touch 4G for LIFE!

Posted by | News | 9 Comments

With SHAtter jailbreak exploit, Chronic Dev Team members Pod2G and p0sixninja seem to have found a bootrom exploit that will not only jailbreak iPhone 4, iPad iOS 4.2 and iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.1 but will pwn them for life. It’s because SHAtter is a hardware based exploit and will require Apple make fixes in hardware of upcoming devices in order to fill this hole.

SHAtter jailbreak exploit was found in S5L8930 aka the A4 chip that is being used in iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G and iPad. This exploit allows unsigned code execution on iDevices. This exploit was initially tested to be successfully working on iPhone 4 while more testing later on confirmed that it could jailbreak iPod Touch 4th Gen and iPad iOS 4.2 as well.

Still got to wait till its released to public. Don’t upgrade to iOS 4.1 if you rely on jailbreak or unlock.

iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Soon, Based on Comex Userland Jailbreak Exploit

Posted by | News | One Comment

Rejoice jailbreakers, you could soon get to jailbreak iOS 4.1. Comex, the developer behind Spirit Jailbreak and JailbreakMe tools is in possession of the userland exploit that will jailbreak iOS 4.1. So, you would be able to jailbreak iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G. It could possibly jailbreak iPod Touch 4G as well. The plans for future userland jailbreak were revealed by MuscleNerd while replying to a tweet. MusclNerd said:

@TechXero it’ll be userland JB if @comex can pull trifecta. Else, wait for new HW cycle (also remember: hole!=exploit)

in reply to:

@MuscleNerd I know tons already asked this but is the iOS4.1 gonna be a userland jailbreak as usual or will redsn0w be making a comeback?

There is no release date as expected but it could be soon after iOS 4.1 release goes public in couple of days. Currently iOS 4.1 GM is available to developers for download.

MiTime for iPhone 4: Enable FaceTime on T-Mobile and International Unauthorized Carriers

Posted by | Hacks | No Comments

MiTime for iPhone 4 is the new Cydia app from developer of PushFix. MiTime allows you to use FaceTime on T-Mobile and other unauthorized carriers across the globe. You can purchase the app from Cydia in http://cydia.pushfix.info repo for $5.99. You will need to activate the app though prior to using it. MiTime requires verification via SMS and will work only on verified phone numbers. For activation process, you should be able to receive international SMS. Here is the process to install MiTime on iPhone 4:

How to Install & Activate MiTime on iPhone 4

Step 1

IF you are outside the US, check your phone # in Settings -> Phone. Your phone number must be correct and should have the + symbol at the front of it. You should NOT continue unless your phone # is exactly the one that you entered on the purchase page of MiTime.info

Step 2

Install MiTime from my repo via Cydia

Step 3

Run MiTime and verify you are authorized – If your phone # matches, you will be.

Step 4

See below and compare to what you have on the screen:

If it says “Ready for activation” and has an “Activate” button, you are ready to use a credit to activate.

If it does NOT say “Ready for activation”, leave it at the this screen until it resets FaceTime® and re-springs (2 minutes). After re-spring, unlock the phone and within one minute it should warn you about costs – IMPORTANT–>click OK. If it doesn’t warn you or does not reset, see the troubleshooting tips below.

If it says “Activated” you can stop here. It will back up your FaceTime® activation for later recovery.

Step 5

If you are ready, tap the Activate button and follow the prompts. Only send one activation request and wait for up to 15 minutes. It should only take 1 minute, but don’t waste your activation credits. If it doesn’t activate after 15 minutes, eject and re-insert your SIM. Wait 1 minute and then reboot.

Step 6

If it says the request was sent, stay on this screen. Within 1 minute usually, you will see it change to Activated.

Step 7

You are done. Once it shows Activated, it has saved your token and FaceTime® is fully enabled.

Step 8

The app can be used to fix almost any FaceTime® problem in the future just by running it.

Notes after installation.

A) If you turn off FaceTime® or it gets turned off somehow, don’t turn it on in Settings -> Phone. Run the MiTime app and it will fix it and turn it back on.

B) If you ever see the warning message about costs again, tap Cancel and run MiTime to see what is going on.

Here is a video if you needed more help:

Apple Applies for Jailbreak Patent, Aims to Remotely Disable Jailbroken Devices

Posted by | News | One Comment

Jailbreak your iPhone and it will be legal. Doesn’t matter if Apple gets jailbreak patent to block tools like JailbreakMe, redsn0w and the likes. Not only that, Apple look to remotely disable jailbroken iPhones, hacked devices, unauthorized iPhones or whatever you call it. Apple have applied for a patent titled “Systems and Methods for Identifying Unauthorized Users of an Electronic Device”. According to Ars Techncia:

The patent, titled “Systems and Methods for Identifying Unauthorized Users of an Electronic Device,” describes several ways a device could sense who is using an iPhone or iPad. Among the methods considered are voice print analysis, photo analysis, heartbeat analysis (!), hacking attempts, or even “noting particular activities that can indicate suspicious behavior.”

The device could automatically snap pictures of the unauthorized user and record the GPS coordinates of the device, as well as log keystrokes, phone calls, or other activity.

Once an unauthorized user is detected, the device can then automatically disable certain features or send notifications to Twitter or other services.

Jailbreak could fall under the clause that mentions “hacking attempts”. So it’s certain to raise eyebrows.

Jailbreak iOS 4.0.2

Posted by | Hacks, How to | One Comment

You can jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 already! Apple has just rolled out iOS 4.0.2 firmware that fixes that PDF exploit used by JailbreakMe. So you can no longer jailbreak iPhone 4 or 3GS if you upgrade to 4.0.2 but iPhone 3G users can use redsn0w 0.9.5 beta 5 to jailbreak iOS 4.0.2.

How to Jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 on iPhone 3G

Step 1: Update iPhone 3G to iOS 4.0.2 using iTunes update.

Step 2: Run redsn0w 0.9.5 Beta 5-5 (download links).

Step 3: Browse iOS 4.0 (not iOS 4.0.2) IPSW. Redsn0w will verify it and will process the jailbreak.

Note: Redsn0w is not detecting IPSW for some users, if this happens to you, head here: redsn0w unable to recognize specified IPSW.

Step 4: Select the jailbreak functions that you want enabled enable:

  • Install Cydia
  • Verbose boot
  • Custom boot logo
  • Custom recovery logo
  • Enable multitasking
  • Enable homescreen wallpaper
  • Enable battery percentage

Select the ones you need.

Step 5: Turn iPhone 3G OFF and connect to computer via USB. Then hit “Next”.

Step 6: Put your device in DFU mode. Follow the on screen instructions. You will need to:

  • Hold “Power” button for 3 seconds
  • Without releasing power button, hold the “Home” button for 10 seconds.
  • Release power button but keep holding Home button for another 30 seconds. Redsn0w will show onscreen timer to help you through the process but it’s important to know in advance so that you’re not taken by surprise ;-) .

That’s it. You will now have a jailbroken iPhone 3G running iOS 4.0.1. If you wanted to unlock iPhone 3G, you can use ultrasn0w 1.0.

How to Install Frash (Flash) on iPhone & iPad

Posted by | Hacks, How to | One Comment

Want to install Flash on iPhone or iPad? We have Frash 0.02 released recently that works just fine to run Flash content on iOS 4 and iPad 3.2.1. There are no guarantees however. According to devs:

“DISCLAIMER: The compiled binaries are based upon ALPHA code by COMEX. Code from the github repository can change minutely creating a significantly more stable version of code. DO NOT expect this compiled code to work on every Flash object or even be the slightest bit stable.”

If you are ready for the adventure, follow this simple step by step guide:

Installing Flash on iPhone & iPad

Before you Begin:

If you already have Frash 0.01 installed, remove it first before installing the update.

Step 1: Jailbreak iPhone with JailbreakMe

Step 2: Download Frash-0.02.deb [Download | Mirror]

Step 3: SSH into iPhone. Windows: i-FunBox or WinCSP. Mac: CyberDuck

Step 4: Once you can access iPhone file system, copy the downloaded Frash-0.02.deb to folder named “tmp”.

Step 5: Reboot your iPhone or iPad

Once your device reboots, open Safari and browse to any website that serves Flash content. You should be able to run Flash content using Frash now, simply tap on “Flash” link and it will load Flash content.

Credits for Flash port for iPhone go to Comex and Grant Pannell for their awesome work.

Note: If copying file to tmp folder doesn’t work for you, do this:

Copy the MobileTerminal-426.deb to /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall

If you can’t locate the “Cydia” folder in “Media”, create it. Then create another folder named “AutoInstall” in “Cydia” folder and copy the .deb file there.

Then reboot your iPhone again, this should work now.
