How to Downgrade iPhone iOS 4.3.2

With the release of iOS 4.3.2 this late last week, and the new iOS 4.3.2 redsn0w jailbreak still not completely stable, some of you might not want to wait any longer for a stable jailbreak, or maybe you’re having additional issues with the new OS. Whatever the reason might be, you can downgrade from your current iOS version to an earlier version using your SHSH blobs on file.

It is important you have your SHSH blobs on file for the iOS version you want to downgrade to. If you don’t have your SHSH blobs on file for the iOS you want to downgrade to, you will not be able to downgrade. You can check which SHSH blobs on file you’ve got by launching Cydia and looking at the top of the Cydia homepage where it lists all your saved SHSH blobs. 

Gmail Web App Updated, Can Undo Actions

The Gmail web app just keeps getting better and better! If you use the Gmail web app with Safari on your iPhone, you'll be happy to know that Google has now updated Gmail's web interface with an "undo" feature.

The web app will now allow users to undo an action such as archive, delete, add/remove a label, or move a message/conversation. When you select one of these actions, Gmail shows a yellow bar that displays what you just and allowing you to undo it, instead of having to dig the message out of the Trash.

SBSettings Update Brings New Features and Bug Fixes

In the past we've deemed SBSettings an absolute "must have" jailbreak app for all jailbroken iPhone users, and we still stand by that statement with the latest update to the hugely popular jailbreak app.

If you're new to the jailbreak scene and have no clue what SBSettings is, basically it's a completely free, fast, and skinnable device manager from the developers over at BigBoss. Here's the best part: to launch the app simply slide your  finger across the top banner and a window will drop down with several, customizable toggles such as  Bluetooth, Brightness, WiFi, 3G, Airplane mode, CallerID, and more!

iPhone 5 Production Roadmap Not Yet Released By Apple

When a new Apple product is set to be released, Apple usually lays out a production roadmap for the device a few months before its release. The production roadmap includes anything from the parts that need to be purchased from suppliers, to the amount of parts needed before the manufacturing of the new product can begin.

According to DigiTimes, touchscreen panel makers are claiming that Apple hasn’t detailed production for the iPhone 5. Instead, shipment volumes for the iPhone 4 have continued to mount, which leads them to believe it might not be released until next year or maybe later this year...

Rebel SIM Provides Another iPhone Unlock Solution

With the iPhone Dev Team's inability to find a usable baseband exploit for the iPhone 4 and release a stable unlock for basebands 2.10.04, 3.10.01, and the newer 4.10.01, several alternate iPhone 4 unlock solutions have sprouted.

The first option was the Gevey SIM Interposer. Similar to a Turbo SIM, the Gevey SIM Interposer worked by adding a EEPROM chip to your SIM card. You would then call 112 from the Emergency Dialer screen. Once the call connected you would hang up then toggle Airport mode on and off. When the network connection resumed, your iPhone 4 would be unlocked.

This method would provide a "tethered" unlock, meaning that after you reboot your iPhone, you would need to repeat the unlock process. While the legality of the unlock solution was questionable at first, Dev Team member, MuscleNerd, confirmed the unlock method was illegal.
