Redsn0w 0.9.10b3

@pod2g has created a terrific gift for iOS fans — an untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak for non-A5 devices! 

Many of you have already been following @pod2g’s blog where he’s been keeping everyone up to date on his progress.  And so you know that he recently decided to push the button on a release for all devices except the new iPhone4S and iPad2.  @pod2g’s untether involves two separate exploits and a few other “tricks” — and since he’s taken the @comex approach of doing nearly everything himself, you know his plate has been full these past few months!

A few days ago, @pod2g gave the untether to both the iPhone devteam and the chronic devteam.  We’ve put it into redsn0w 0.9.10 and PwnageTool, and the chronic devteam put it into a Cydia package (the same set of exploits is in all three).

Here are the basic steps for how to get it:

The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G
If you have one of those devices and are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now!  The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1  If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW!  See the guides at places like iClarified.com if you don’t know how.  Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
If you’re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect “Install Cydia” if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam.  The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.
Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration.  If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup!  You will most likely get into a reboot cycle.  Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.
As mentioned earlier, @pod2g has spent months working on all the exploits and tricks in this untether, and many of you may be wondering how you can send donations.  Although the iPhone devteam itself doesn’t take donations, we thought it was appropriate to provide a link at the end of the redsn0w run for you to more easily donate directly to @pod2g if you wish (alternatively, you can go right here).  There’s a link in the Cydia package for donating to the chronic devteam for the Cydia version of @pod2g’s untether.

@pod2g is now looking for a way to extend this to A5 devices.  Because those devices cannot use geohot’s limera1n exploit to inject the untether, they require exploits above and beyond those used for this release.  Keep following pod2g on twitter or his blog for any progress reports!

Update #2: The b2 version of redsn0w includes the launchctl-related fix by @planetbeing as mentioned by @saurik here and here.  As usual, you can just re-run redsn0w in jailbreak mode over your existing 5.0.1 jailbreak (even a PwnageTool one), making sure to de-select “Install Cydia” if you do.  Always be sure to do a controlled “slide to power off” shutdown of your device before running redsn0w.
Update #3: The b3 version of redsn0w fixes a problem where re-running redsn0w over an existing jailbreak would cause MobileSubstrate-based apps to stop running until MS was installed again.  Now you can re-run the redsn0w jailbreak step without worrying about that (but still remember to de-select the “Install Cydia” option if it’s already installed).
TIP: If auto-detection fails and redsn0w tells you no identifying data was found, you can always pre-select the appropriate 5.0.1 IPSW using “Extras->Select IPSW”.
Here are the redsn0w download links:
redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for OS X
redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows (be sure to run in Administrator mode)

How To Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Untethered

As reported few minutes ago, the much-waited untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 has been released based on pod2g’s discovered exploit. Since the links for Redsn0w and GreenPois0n jailbreak tools are not ready yet, there’s an alternate method to do the untethered jailbreak. You can currently use a new jailbreak tool available in Cydia named “Corona” to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 untethered. Below we’ll show you how.

P0sixninja, the brain member of the Chronic Dev Team, developed a Cydia tweak called “Corona” and uploaded it Cydia for users who already have a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1.
You’ll need to do a tethered jailbreak first using previous redsn0w version. You can follow our guide posted here to do a tethered jailbreak on your A4 device running iOS 5.0.1 or iOS 5.

How To Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Untethered

STEP 1: Assuming your device is already jailbroken, head to Cydia and leave it till the update is finished.
STEP 2: Once updated, search for “Corona 5.0.1 Untether” under BigBoss repository and you’ll be able to download it for free by hitting the “Install” button on the top right of screen.

Download redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 for jailbreak ios5.0.1

Alright, MuscleNerd the well known hacker and developer over iPhone dev-team has released redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 for Mac OS X and Windows with many new feature. Redsn0w 0.9.9b9 still a tethered jailbreak, so you will need to jailbreak your idevice every time you reboot your device. Redsnow 0.9.9 b9 is available for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS " new bootrom ", iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad. Untethered Jailbreak is available for iPhone 3GS old bootrom. Download Redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 Links for Windows and Mac after the jump.



Redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 has brought many amazing features as Notcom's TinyCFW which allows you to downgrade from iOS 5.X to iOS 4.3.3 and no need for lots of ram to jailbreak your iDevice with Redsn0w 0.9.9 b9.


ChangeLog On Redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 :


native support for 5.0.1 (no need to point redsn0w at 5.0 IPSW or use command-line args).  Support automatically extends to all of redsn0w’s various functions: “Jailbreak”, “Just boot”, “Fetch blobs”, “Stitch blobs”, “Recovery Fix”

iBooks fixed in 5.0 and 5.0.1.  This is a targeted fix that doesn’t remove entire sandbox mechanism.  5.x users already using redsn0w “Just Boot” can just use the new version without redoing entire jailbreak again

3GS old-bootrom owners can now create custom IPSWs without blobs

ultrasn0w compatability update (i.e. same baseband requirements) for 5.0.1 will be available on Cydia Monday

support for newer 8GB iPhone4 (which until now had problems with “Fetch blobs”).  Thanks to @JKjeepnJeff for loaning us one of these newer i4 units for testing!

allows Windows users (not just OS X users) to use the “Custom” button to create IPSWs without baseband updates

accommodates APTickets in 5.x (until next Apple countermove).  APTickets are crypto-verified before submitting to Cydia, just like the main blobs.  Cydia server support for sending back the APTickets is upcoming.  For now, use stitched IPSWs for 5.x.  Due to APTickets, stitched 5.x IPSWs now require user to start in “Pwned DFU” mode

Support added for stitching 4.x blobs to iPad2-GSM IPSWs.  Similar to @notcom’s TinyCFW but doesn’t require lots of RAM or a TSS-assisted restore. Won’t work for iPad2 5.x blobs (or iPhone4S at all) until a bootrom-level exploit is out

top line now shows whether (and where) a redsn0w update is available, or if the version being run is the latest.  Uses DNS TXT record to alleviate any concerns about snooping

no 5.1 beta support at this time (major apps like Cydia are not yet compatible)

@pod2g has been doing a great job porting his 5.x untether…check his blog for updates!

Owners of newer 3GS iPhones must not flash the iPad baseband.  The iPad baseband will not work on 3GS iPhones built later than 2011 week 35.

iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak Code Now Completed For All A4 Devices

Pod2G has just announced that he has completed the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak code for all Apple devices running on the A4 chip. This is great news for the jailbreak community that is anxiously waiting for the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5+ firmware. Due to this latest accomplishment, the untethered jailbreak would now work on the following devices.



iPad (First Generation)
iPod Touch 4G
iPod Touch 3G
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4
Apple TV
Pod2G made the following comments on his blog:

I just want to let you know my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) is untethered. Some progress today heh

iPad 1 5.0.1 untethered code is done, testing tomorrow with a friend’s device. Just to let you know my progress in real time.



iPhone 3GS 5.0.1 untethered code is done. Testing tomorrow also!

iPod 4G 5.0.1 untethered too ! .

Apple TV 2 4.43 untethered done also. Will be able to test in some days, thanks to @firecore that’d ship me an Apple TV 2 for testing !

Since the code has been completed for the above mentioned devices we can safely assume that Pod2G would now work on releasing his untethered jailbreak technique. However, we still have to hear whether the untethered jailbreak would work for iPhone 4S and iPad 2, because Pod2G has not made any announcement about these two devices.

How to Root & Install Custom Recovery in Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 – Tutorial

Have a Samsung Galaxy Note? Then in this article we will check out on how you can install the Clock Work MOD recovery and also root your Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. Please note that it’s the safest ever procedure and the only thing you need to ensure is that you follow the instructions which are mentioned in the article. It has been found that despite mentioning everything in detail, some users don’t follow the procedure and end up flashing the rooting process to some other phone. Since this is the global patch, anyone with their Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 device can proceed with the rooting of the device. The only condition being is that the device needs to be on the default or stock firmware.

Disclaimer: At Android Advices, we have made sure in all respects that all the information regarding the firmware update is mentioned correctly in this article. We hold no responsibility in any manner just in case if any damage happens to your Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 which is a very unlikely event if you follow the instructions carefully.

Quick Pre Requisites:

• Data present in your device may get lost or get corrupted, so ensure that you back them up by following the tips which are mentioned below so that you can restore all the data.

Text messages – Use “SMS Backup & Restore app”,
Phone Contacts – Sync with the Gmail application,
Call Log - Call Log and Restore
Pictures, Music, Videos, Files etc.– Copy to internal / External SD Card,
Internet & MMS Settings – Backup all the settings from the path “Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names”
Notes – Manually you need to note down or need to transfer to Evernote

• Up next ensure that the device is left with the minimum of 60% charge so as to ensure that the device doesn’t get turned Off in the process of firmware update.
• After this you will have to close all the tools like Security Suites, Firewall tools and also the KIES PC Suite as these tools generally tend to interrupt the process of firmware update. Disable the USB Debugging from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”.

Procedure to Root and Install Custom Recovery in Samsung Galaxy Note N7000:

• So, before you proceed, you need to first download the Complete Rooting PACKAGE which contains the Odin flash tool as well as the Clock Work MOD recovery tool. Once you download in your computer, extract the same to the desktop preferably.

• In the process of extraction, you will be prompted to enter the password. Enter the password as “androidadvices.com” without the inverted comas.

• As soon as the file is extracted, you now need to match the extracted files with the below mentioned screen capture. Once it matches, you can proceed with the next step.

iOS 5 Untethered Jailbreak Confirmed To Be Working On iOS 5.0.1

It was only a few days ago when iOS developer and hacker Pod2g showed off his new untethered jailbreak exploit running on iOS 5. At that time, he tested it on a third-gen iPod touch running iOS 5.0 and wasn’t sure if it would also work on the new iOS 5.0.1 as well. But he did promise to test it on iOS 5.0.1 and report back accordingly with results.

Well today, after testing the exploit on his iPhone 4 running the latest iOS 5.0.1 firmware, he has confirmed via his Twitter account that it is indeed working which ultimately means that you are all now free to update your A4-based iOS devices to iOS 5.0.1. iPhone unlockers who rely on Ultrasn0w are still advised against upgrading to preserve the old baseband.

Pod2g: Got an untethered iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. Feel free to update.

This is indeed good news for those who accidently updated to iOS 5.0.1, only to have found themselves being locked out on the new firmware, with having no real way to downgrade back to iOS 5.0.
It is important to note here that so far, the exploit has only been confirmed to be working on A4-based devices, and below, like iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G (and 3G), Apple TV, and the first-generation iPad. There has been no confirmation of it being working on A5 based devices like the new iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 yet.

History Of Apple Devices Since 2001 Till 2011 [Infographic]

In the following infographic we will show you Apple Devices History from 2001 till 2011 Starting from iPod 1St generation and ended with iPhone 4S. Check the full list after the jump.

How to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 on Windows or Mac

The gap between iOS updates and tethered jailbreaks is awfully narrow these days. All of the iOS 5 betas were almost immediately jailbroken, and the same pattern is now following with official iOS 5 releases. Yesterday’s iOS 5.0.1 update, which is intended to fix battery drain issues, is the latest to be added to that list.
The two big exceptions to the jailbreak are the dual-core iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. The A5 chip has proven to be quite the hacker’s nightmare. The iPad 2 only has a jailbreak available for the ancient iOS 4.3.3. The iPhone 4S has yet to have a publicly released jailbreak.
For the pre-A5 devices it does work on, this is a tethered jailbreak, that means you will need to connect your iOS device to a PC every time you reboot or power off. There is a Cydia tool called Semi-tether, which can give you limited functionality after a reboot. But it still doesn’t give you the freedom to use everything on your phone after rebooting.
Here’s how to jailbreak your older iOS device running 5.0.1:

1. Get redsn0w

The first thing you’ll want to do is to download the redsn0w jailbreak tool for your operating system:

• redsn0w 0.9.9b8 for Mac
• redsn0w 0.9.9b8 for Windows

2. Open and connect

After downloading and unzipping, select the redsn0w icon, and go ahead and connect your iDevice to your Mac or PC.

3. Get iOS 5 firmware

Though your device will need to already have the iOS 5.0.1 updated installed, you will also need the older iOS 5 firmware file. You can download it at the corresponding link below:

• iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4 GSM
• iPhone 4 CDMA
• iPad
• iPod touch 3G
• iPod touch 4G

4. Choose firmware

You will now need to choose the iOS 5 firmware that you just downloaded. From the main menu, choose “Extras,” then “Specify Firmware,” and pick the correct file.

5. Choose “Jailbreak”

Now go back to the main menu and choose “Jailbreak” from the first screen of the redsn0w tool.

6. Turn your iOS device off while plugged in

You are now preparing to put your device in DFU mode. Follow the instructions, and — after you’re sure your iDevice is powered off and plugged in  — proceed.
During the next step, you’ll be holding down a combination of buttons for precise amounts of time, so be ready to pay attention to the instructions on your screen. It will expect you to start as soon as you hit Next, so be prepared to start holding your iOS device’s power button.

7. Enter DFU mode

The above screen is what you will see after proceeding. The first part has you holding down just the power button for a few seconds.

Next, you’ll keep holding down the power button, along with the home button, for longer this time.

Finally, you’ll let go of the power button, and keep holding down the home button for a while longer.
If you follow the timers just as the redsn0w tool counts them off, your device should now be in DFU mode. The screen will look like it’s powered off, but as long as redsn0w proceeds, you’re in DFU.
If you didn’t quite time it right, all you have to do is power down and start the process again.
If the on-screen instructions aren’t working for you, just power off (while plugged in), hold power and home for 10 seconds, then let go of power and keep holding home until redsn0w advances to the next step.
Note: If you accidentally end up in recovery mode (the “connect to iTunes” screen), you can hold down the home and power buttons for about 15 seconds, until everything shuts off. Then power on again, and you should be fine. If you’re still in Recovery after doing this, look up a tool called TinyUmbrella, or simply restore iOS 5 again in iTunes.

8. Jailbreak!

Once in DFU mode, you will see the following screens, appearing in rapid secession (without any input required on your part). Your iOS device should also flash white on the screen for a moment, and then reboot.

9. Install Cydia

The next prompt you’ll be given should be the one above. You can just select “Install Cydia” and proceed. After lots of command-level lines gets displayed on your device’s screen, it should reboot into a jailbroken state.
Cydia, at first, will have a blank (white) icon, and will not open. You will need to run through the next step before you will be able to enjoy the full benefits of being jailbroken.

10. Reboot tethered

This step will not only fix the Cydia white icon issue, but these will also be the same steps that you will repeat after a reboot or a power down.
First, connect the device to your Mac or PC and run the same redsn0w tool. From the main menu, select Extras.

Finally, select “Just boot” and follow the instructions. You will need to enter DFU mode, just like you did when first jailbreaking.
After you complete the tethered boot, you can open Cydia (on the second page of your home screen) and start searching for jailbreak apps and tweaks.
