MuscleNerd has confirmed that UltraSn0w update is coming for iOS 4.3.1 in a few days. The unlock tool has had several bugs and is currently incompatible with several older basebands.
To clarify: the upcoming UltraSn0w update will not unlock any new basebands. The update is meant for current unlockers that wish to update to the latest 4.3.1 jailbreak and keep their unlock.
The folks at MyGreatFest will be holding the world's first iDevice/jailbreak convention later this year in London, UK. Craig and the rest of the planning team have been working extremely hard over the past months to create the ultimate convention experience for jailbreak and iDevice enthusiasts.
The details for September's convention are shaping up nicely, and there is now a video tour of the venue. The Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane in London will be where speakers like the creator of Cydia, saurik, present talks and presentations to fellow geeks.
The official jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 was released yesterday, and many people are re-installing and upgrading their Cydia packages.
There are some popular Cydia apps/tweaks that are not yet compatible with iOS 4.3.1. If you rely on a certain app or tweak, you might want to make sure the desired package is compatible with the latest version of iOS before you jailbreak...
Doodle Jump has been one of the most popular iOS games ever since its launch, and it has received several updates throughout the year. The latest update brings one of the most highly awaited features: online multiplayer.
Similar to other multiplayer games available in the App Store, you can play against another friend via Game Center or randomly be matched up against another player...
CyDelete is nothing new. In fact we reported on it on iDB a few years ago when the tweak was released in Cydia. But if you remember back to its introduction then you might remember it had some problems.
Its biggest issue, for me, was stability. I would go to delete an application from my springboard and the icon would disappear from my home screen. But when I went into Cydia, the package still looked like it was installed. This didn't happen to me every time, but even once or twice was enough to make me uninstall it and delete apps the correct way...
iH8Sn0w has released Sn0wbreeze 2.4b1, and the Windows jailbreak tool will now jailbreak iOS 4.3.1. There's already been a tethered jailbreak for 4.3.1 uncovered in PwnageTool, and both available jailbreaks are still tethered.
Sn0wbreeze is now the more stable option for jailbreak iOS 4.3.1, but there is still no untethered solution available. Jailbreak devs are working hard to release an official untethered jailbreak for the latest version of iOS, but there is no exact ETA set.
I'm a technology news junky. From Apple rumors to new gadgets, I just can't get enough. But there are so many websites that pump out information, how do you keep track of it all?
Well it's no secret around iDB that I am a Pulse Mini fan. As far as RSS readers go, it's amazing. Everything is graphic oriented, so no more sifting through lines and lines of RSS text feeds. Now after a significant update, my favorite RSS app just got better...
Saurik has released a major Cydia update for jailbreakers. Cydia 1.1 includes many improvements and additions to the already beloved jailbreak store.
Cydia 1.1 was released this morning, and the update can be found in Cydia's "Changes" section. We've put together a step-by-step tutorial to guide you through updating to Cydia 1.1 on your iPhone...
When we told you about Comex's jailbreak, we warned you about ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization). It was one of the new security measures Apple implemented into iOS to thwart off jailbreakers, and was expected to delay a jailbreak release for quite some time.
Well Comex later commented that while he had an exploit that worked, he knew 4.3.1 would release very soon, and did not want to risk Apple patching his exploit with the new firmware. Thus he would wait until that release, which happened earlier today, to release a jailbreak solution.
Those worried that Apple somehow disabled the jailbreak in the update need not worry. Popular jailbreak spokesman MuscleNerd, confirmed via twitter today that it didn't look like Apple fixed the glitch that Comex used in his hacking of the iPad 2.
Of course he also warns to hold off on updating to 4.3.1 until things are confirmed and stable. It has also been confirmed that Comex's exploit is a 'userland' jailbreak, which means it can be done straight off the iDevice. Those who remember the 'Spirit' jailbreak series remember jailbreaking was as easy as typing jailbreakme.com into Safari.
Things are looking good for an official jailbreak release for the iPad 2 and other iDevices with iOS 4.3.1. Stay tuned to ziPadblog for the latest in jailbreak info.
Does anyone have an iPad 2 and is excited to jailbreak? Tell us in the comments below.
Saurik has just released the long awaited update to Cydia. Cydia. 1.1 has been nearly re-written from 1.0 and includes several new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
According to Saurik, Cydia 1.1 is faster, slimmer, and more stable; including an improved search algorithm and "resume where you left off".
To update to the newer version, simply launch Cydia from your iDevice, then refresh your packages (which will be done automatically), then you will be prompted to upgrade "Essential packages", select "Complete Upgrade". Cydia will be updated to version 1.1 and then will require you to restart Cydia...
It appears that the latest version of iOS has been posted to iTunes today. Loading up iTunes with your iDevice plugged in may cause it to automatically update to the newest firmware. Those who are jailbroken on 4.2.1 should hold off for the official 4.3.1 jailbreak to be released before updating.
The good news is that hackers i0n1c and Comex have been holding out on releasing their jailbreak software for 4.3.1 to be released. Now that it is, it should just be a matter of testing their exploit with 4.3.1 and making sure everything is stable.
MacRumors is reporting that the update fixes some bugs with the iPod touch and Apple TV. They also mention it relieves the 'Cannot Activate Cellular Network' glitch that has been plaguing iPhone users since 4.2.1 was released.
While the minor bug fixes would never entice me to update, the fact that an untethered jailbreak would be available for iOS 4.3.x has me foaming at the mouth. I want to take advantage of the new AirPlay enhancements that were released in 4.3 and I won't update until an official jailbreak is released.
Stay tuned to ziPadblog for the latest in iPad jailbreaking news.
