FireCore Releases Major Update for aTV Flash

Cody Lee ∙ December 7, 2011

Even though jailbreaking hasn't done much for the Apple TV what it has for the other iDevices, it still has made quite an impact. FireCore's aTV Flash (Black) application is a perfect example of that, adding several features to the popular media hub.

For those not familiar with the software, aTV Flash is a jailbreak application for the Apple TV 2 that includes a web browser and support for streaming dozens of file formats. It is the app for Apple TV jailbreakers, and it just received a major update...

Why You Shouldn’t Use H1Siri

Oliver Haslam ∙ December 6, 2011

When we told you all about a new jailbreak app claiming to bring Siri to non-4S iDevices yesterday, we were deeply skeptical about its authenticity. We later received confirmation that, yes, the H1Siri app did use some of Apple's own code and thus was indeed illegal.

As Pete "Plamoni" Lamonica shows in his latest video, questionable legality isn't the only reason that you shouldn't be using H1Siri – it could potentially give a third-party control over your iDevice, and with relative ease on their part.

As we warned yesterday, using H1Siri means that you are sending all kinds of personal data through someone else's servers, meaning that they can either eavesdrop on what is going on with your iDevice, or even take control of it as shown in Pete's video...

ESRA: A Siri-Like Assistant For Older iOS 5 Devices

Jeff Benjamin ∙ December 5, 2011

Let me preface this by saying that ESRA will be a disappointment to those who are expecting it to compete with Siri.

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let's talk more about this jailbreak app. ESRA stands for Experimental Speech Response Application, and as you can see from the video, it more than lives up to the "experimental" portion of the ESRA acronym...

H1Siri: App Claiming Full Siri Functionality For the iPhone 4 Surfaces in Cydia

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 18, 2016

Ever since videos started popping up online of Siri working on non-iPhone 4S devices, everyone has wondered one thing: when will it be available to the masses? Apple has restricted Siri to its latest handset, so hackers have taken it upon themselves to set it free.

Up until this point, the digital assistant port has only been possible for knowledgeable folks with access to iPhone 4S files. But a jailbreak utility has just surfaced in Cydia that could change that. The app is H1Siri, and it claims to offer full Siri functionality on the iPhone 4...

iFaith SHSH Tool Receives Major Update

Cody Lee ∙ December 4, 2011

Infamous iOS hacker and Sn0wBreeze creator iH8sn0w just released a major update for his iFaith application. Like TinyUmbrella, iFaith allows you to save your device's SHSH blobs, which are needed to preserve your ability to downgrade firmware in the future.

The update supports iOS versions up to 5.0.1, but isn't yet compatible with A5 iDevices. There also doesn't seem to be a Mac version available. But if you own an A4 device and have access to a Windows computer, we highly recommend you download the new iFaith...
