0wnCentre–and something else :)

Sorry for not blogging for ages – I have been, however, hard at work with some iPhone-related projects It has been hard to maintain a blog, website and Twitter updates simultaneously so this blog has been left behind unfortunately….

So, I mentioned some projects….
First of all, 0wnCentre. 0wnCentre is an all-in-one solution for installing 4.1’s Game Center on the iPhone 3G – the only 4.1-capable device to be left behind with this gaming sensation. Previous projects such as Fallensn0w’s iCenter installed the old 4.0 GM version of Game Center and also broke copyright laws. 0wnCentre solves all of these issues with one sexy program  

HOWEVER: although some people have had success with 0wnCentre – many have had to restore their devices after applying it. The symptom of this issue is the iPhone freezing on the Apple Logo after the post-installation reboot. If you want to give it a try, however, the download link is below. Please note that you need 7-Zip / Winzip / WinRAR to open it as it is tar.bz2 compressed. As for requirements – it is Windows-only at the moment though both Mac and Linux versions are in the works thanks to qwertyoruiop and malontop respectively

Okay – da link is: http://thund3rsnip.tk/107 – enjoy!! You need .Net Framework 2.0 (or later) which is on most PCs anyway – in fact as far as I know Vista is bundled with it!

Anyway – for the other project………… updateMe
updateMe is SECRET at the moment – but will be immense The official site is http://www.updatemyi.tk so watch this space. As far as progress is concerned: it is nearly done. Just for some testing, debugging and finishing touches. Follow blackthund3r and HamsterPyro on Twitter for the latest development information

What's been happening???

What you may have noticed is that I haven't released any new blackthund3r tools recently. There is a reason for this - I have been working on a jailbreak for 4.1 on the iPod touch 2G MC model. This is a port of the Mac program called 'snowst0rm Cloud' and will be released as soon as the bigs have been ironed out. As this is a 4.1 jailbreak, I now have 4.1 so you can add me on Game Center - I'm call blackthund3r. Send a request and I'll accept ASAP.
I hope this 'non-update update' has given some bearing - I'm still here!
Oh, one final thing: there are some updates on http://www.blackthund3r.co.uk - check them out!

New updates on website

There are some new features on http://www.blackthund3r.co.uk. One of which is the new download stats. Every download is now tallied up and the site now shows next to each file how many times it has been downloaded as well as the total number of downloads on the main downloads page. Tell me what you think in the comments!!
Coming soon: comprehensive jailbreak guides with step-by-step instructions with images and YouTube videos. Stay tuned!!!
