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.

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:
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 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’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.

The Info:

One of the most troublesome things about jailbreaking is putting your iPhone or iTouch into DFU mode. Apple designed DFU mode to be hard to access and they did a good job at that. Hopefully this guide will help you enter DFU mode with little trouble.
