iOS4 hits iPhone 2G

Well, the title says it all, doesn't it? Well, to clarify I have begun (and hopefully don't have to many bugs with(!)) porting iOS4 to the iPhone 2G/EDGE/Original (whatever you call it). Release date is: When it is complete...

Currently it is 100% untested so if you are gagging for it, just remember this one idiom: Patience is a pretty damned good virtue <---- What, the?

Watch this space - more details soon...

Oh and a quick blog shoutout to Stan who has given me admin rights to iosjailbreak.info - a great site that will have all the latest iPhone hacks, mods and rumours - check it out!

Until my next post, goodbye loyal readers!

A lil' Update :)

Just as it says, this post is just a little update... Recovery Mode Controller is being pushed from 3.1 to 3.2 but a new version is being offered! The Installer version will automatically install Recovery Mode Controller, libUSB and shortcuts for you - all from a neat little installer I wrote! Download links will be are up on the right soon as usual now!

BTW the update in 3.2 (Apart from an installer) is a bug-fix in the code for 'Reset Buttonz'

A new project....

For those following the comments, you'll know I am working on a program to hacktivate the iPhone 3GS. So far this has had a successful beginning and I'll be working on this for a while more. I have completely ditched the idea of an injected dylib (like blackra1n does) but more like how PwnageTool does it. So far, for testing, this ramdisk is quite large (5mb without adding to restore ramdisk) but offers a full interactive SSH shell. Use iTunnel and putty. It automatically mounts both partitions (RootFS to /mnt and User FS to /mnt2) as well as fsck'ing them. Hacktivating is as easy as typing '/hacktivate' (without quotes) at the SSH prompt in to the SSH bash shell. SSH is set up immediately

The Application will be Windows only but a Mac OS X version may follow if I can be bothered to write it ;P

Watch this space ;)

Oh, and a quick update. I have just discovered OpenWinPwn (fallensn0w's implementation of the OpenPwn framework) and so have begun some basic payloads. Watch that space while you're at it, too! I'll be posting my payloads to the OpenPwn Forums - again, when I can be bothered!

I have also been lucky enough to be given the chance by qwertyoruiop to help him port his new tethered 'Cloud' jailbreak for OOTB MC model 4.0 devices. We are currently having some ramdisk and iBSS/iBEC issues but info will be posted when this is ready. Here's another space for you to watch :)


Until my next post: goodbye loyal readers! Oh and a recommendation: I have been helping HamsterPyro with some of his programs he is writing but he has also given me loads of moral support but also kept me interested by talking to me when I'm bored! He has a much nicer website than me (is a blog is actually a website?). You can visit his site at www.hamsterpyro.co.cc. He is someone also wishing to improve on his C++ - if anyone can help him with that, please do contact him as I feel sorry for him at the moment LOL

Recovery Mode Controller V3.1

I have just completed a small update to Recovery Mode Controller. Just fixes some performance issues regarding DLLs that need to be copied from Apple folders. Rather than copying the whole lot, only 8 are now copied. Before it was around 25 but thanks to help from HamsterPyro this has now been slimmed down. Thanks to him for that! The one >40mb folder is now just 18.6mb and of course they are all temporary so next time you run disk cleanup they will all be gone! Easy as that. Or leave intact and RMC will load faster next time. The update also fixes an issue with the about window that mentioned the wrong version number. That has now been repaired.

Download links are up will be placed on the right ASAP :)

Enjoy!
