The Info:

Sometimes your iPhone or iTouch can get stuck in Recovery mode and it seems like it might be bricked. Don’t worry, its probably not bricked. There are two very good and very easy methods of kicking your iPhone or iTouch out of Recovery mode: one for Mac and one for Windows.

“Make it ra1n, I’m makin’ it sn0w.” ~geohot

Our good friend geohot has now created a software unlock for the iPhone 3GS that’s super easy to install and works amazingly! Check out the post on his site for more info about it: http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/2009/07/make-it-ra1n-im-makin-it-sn0w.html.

The Info:

A lot of people have been experiencing issues with push notifications and YouTube.app not working properly. Today, the iPhone Dev Team released the beta version of their fix for the issues. While the directions in the readme.txt are very easy to follow, the fix requires that you have a working and activated iPhone or iTouch. Most people who need to use this fix don’t have a second iPhone or iTouch to get the needed files from. So, to help everyone out, I’m writing my own guide and I will include the needed files. Hopefully, the Dev Team will releases the complete fix soon and the needed files will no longer be needed.

The Info

Last night, an ex dev team member codenamed “geohot” released the first ever iPhone 3GS jailbreak. This jailbreak will only work on the iPhone 3GS running 3.0. Unlike the official redsn0w jailbreak for the other iPhones and iTouchs, this jailbreak doesn’t hacktivate your iPhone, so you must at least have access to an official SIM card. After jailbreaking, you should be able to run ultrasn0w and unlock your iPhone 3GS and use it on any carrier.

The Info:

“I think the weather is getting colder… ” -planetbeing The Dev Team has now released Ultrasn0w, the latest in the growing lineup of sn0w products. Ultrasn0w does one thing and it does that one thing VERY well: it unlocks the iPhone 3G running 3.0. That means that if you have an iPhone 3G, regardless of your baseband or bootloader, you can unlock it to use it on any other carrier. Caution: ultrasn0w only supports the iPhone 3G. The iPhone 2G is not supported.

The Info:
Everyone loves how Apple has finally added push notifications to the iPhone/iTouch 3.0 OS. It took Apple forever to do it, but they finally did. Now the main thing that is missing is push email. While Yahoo claims to support push email, I’ve found that its not real push email, but IMAP email, which [...]

The Info:

The other day the iPhone dev team released redsn0w version 0.7 for the Mac. Redsn0w is a program that was originally created to overcome the change in the iTouch 2g’s hardware that prevented the QuckPwn or PwnageTool from being able to jailbreak the iTouch 2g. The dev team has now taken this amazing tool and made it work on the iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iTouch 1g, and iTouch 2g and it can even unlock the iPhone 2G! They’ve also given it a GUI (previously, it was a command line only tool). Follow the direction below to jailbreak all four iDevices (the iPhone 3GS isn’t supported… Yet) and unlock the iPhone 2G.

The Info:
If you have an iPhone and a laptop, you’ve probably heard of tethering. Tethering is where a mobile device, such as an iPhone, shares its data connection with a computer. The mobile device and the computer can be connected through USB or through Bluetooth. The point of tethering is so that, if you’re away [...]

The Info:

Tomorrow, June 17, Apple will be releasing the newest version of the iPhone/iTouch OS to the public. This will be the official release of iPhone OS 3.0. The build number will be 7A341, which suggests that the version of the OS that will be released tomorrow is the exact same as the “GM” version that was seeded to iPhone developers a week ago. I will be posting links for the iPhone versions (the iPhone 3GS link is already up here) as well as keeping the download links for the GM seed. I’ll also be uploading the iTouch 1g and 2g 3.0 firmwares to my site so that iTouch owners will be able to update for free. Links to the pages are under the Downloads section in the menu. If you follow this guide and you have an iTouch, iTunes will ask you to purchase the 3.0 firmware for $9.99. Whether or not you purchase it is up to you, but I would suggest not wasting your money and just to wait for me to upload a copy of the firmware.

The Info:

This guide is pretty much just for the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 2G. The iTouchs should be able to downgrade like normal. The problem with the iPhones is that the baseband is updated when you upgraded to 3.0. iTunes is incapable of downgrading the baseband and realizes that the baseband is not what it should be on 2.2.1, so it gives you a 16xx error. This guide should help you successfully downgrade from 3.0 to 2.2.1.

The Info:

I’ve created my own Cydia repo to host apps that I can’t find on any other repo, such as GriP and the newest version of the Five Icon Dock. Instructions for adding my repo are below. If you want a list of the packages available, check out: Cydia Repo | iPhone/iTouch Guides.

The Info:

If you’ve ever tried to make a video background for your iPhone or iTouch, you already know its not too difficult, but its not easy. If you’ve used iMovie to make it, then you know that you can’t set a custom aspect ratio and that you will end up with a video for you background that takes up only a small part of the screen. This is because most screens, like TVs, are wider than they are tall. The iPhone in portrait mode, however, isn’t. Hopefully this guide will help you to make a video background that takes up the how iPhone screen in portrait mode.

The Info:

Ok. You have a iTouch 2g and you want to jailbreak it. The first thing you need to know is that the process to jailbreak it is not the same as jailbreaking the iPhone 2G, 3G, and iTouch 1g. On a Mac, you have to use a command line program to jailbreak it. Don’t worry, thought. Even if you never used Terminal, or even if you’ve never heard of Terminal, its still very easy and almost anyone can do it.

The Info

Why would you want to uninstall iTunes, especially if you’re on a Mac? Because Apple is constantly trying to prevent jailbreaking. The latest version of the iTunes 8.2 pre-release rewrites the way that your computer communicates to your iPhone over USB, effectively breaking every program that talks to your iPhone over USB. On a PC, its really easy to downgrade iTunes just by uninstalling the current version and installing an older version. On a Mac its not so easy. Thankfully, MuscleNerd figured out how to completely uninstall iTunes on a Mac.
