0615 fun (Redsnow 0.9.14b1)Downgrade BB 06.15

The iPhone Dev Team is happy to announce a baseband downgrade option in redsn0w for those who are using the iPad’s 06.15 baseband on the iPhone3G or iPhone3GS.
Typically you’d have the 06.15 baseband if you unlock with ultrasn0w but updated your iPhone baseband past 05.13.04.  With this new capability, you can now downgrade specifically from 06.15 to 05.13.04 (even if you never had 05.13.04 on that device before).  This gives you the best of both worlds: ultrasn0w compatibility and a normal iPhone baseband with full GPS and the ability to use stock IPSWs again.
Here are the steps:

1. Use the “Extras->Select IPSW” button in redsn0w to tell it which firmware version you have installed (new-bootrom 3GS users can usually skip this step but it doesn’t hurt for them to do it too).
2. Do a controlled shutdown of your iPhone (“slide to power off”).  This step is very important to avoid mount problems when the ramdisk is running!
3. Go back to the first screen and click “Jailbreak”.  Enable the “Downgrade from iPad baseband” checkbox, disable Cydia if you already have it installed, and click Next to proceed through the normal DFU ramdisk steps.

After the ramdisk gets launched and you see the Pwnapple running on your iPhone, you’ll eventually get to the “Flashing Baseband” step.  THIS STEP TAKES A VERY LONG TIME to complete and there won’t be any feedback while its running.  Please just let it be for the next 3-8 minutes!  When the ramdisk has done its job it will reboot the phone on its own.
For those who are wondering if you can update your 3G or 3GS to 06.15 solely for the purposes of downgrading to 05.13.04, the answer is “yes” for 3G owners, and “maybe” for 3GS owners.  The iPad baseband is not compatible with 3GS units manufactured week 34 of 2011 or later.  If you have an iPhone3GS and if digits 3-5 of its Serial Number are 134 or later (xx134…), then you should NOT try to install the 06.15 baseband on your 3GS!  It will brick your radio, preventing both the downgrade from working and normal iPhone software from using it as a phone!  Be warned!

MuscleNerd Is Indeed Aiming At Releasing 06.15.00 Baseband Downgrade Tool Today [#SundayIsFunday]

Earlier this week we told you that MuscleNerd was going to try to make his 06.15.00 baseband downgrading solution ready for this Sunday (aka Funday). It looks like this is indeed going to remain true as MuscleNerd recently tweeted that you should be able to expect the downgrading tool sometime today.

As MuscleNerd mentions, this is some big news because since the iOS 4.1/4.2.1 firmware those who upgraded to this specie liPad baseband (for unlocking purposes) have been stuck on it, and a majority of people lost GPS functionality upon doing so. With the ability to downgrade back to a baseband prior to 05.13.04 those who upgraded will regain GPS functionality and no longer need to worry about reflashing to 06.15.00 baseband when upgrading firmwares.
As soon as MuscleNerd releases the 06.15.00 baseband downgrading tool we will have a how to guide available on downgrading youriPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS from the 06.15.00 baseband to a baseband prior to 05.13.04. Until that time stay tuned and leave any further questions or thoughts in the comments section below.

UNLOCKERS AND THOSE PRESERVING THEIR UNLOCKABLE BASEBANDS SHOULD STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS! You will very likely lose your unlockable baseband if you try to install iOS 6.

THIS JAILBREAK IS INTENDED ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS OF JAILBROKEN APPS! There are just too many broken components (Apple’s official apps, 3rd-party App Store apps, Cydia apps, etc) for this to be useful to anyone but those truly looking to fix bugs in their iOS 6 jailbroken apps.

CYDIA WILL NOT BE INSTALLED because it just hasn’t had time to be updated to the new SDK. The only access you’ll get to the device is through SSH or afc2. If you don’t know what either of those are, you shouldn’t be using this developer version of redsn0w!

THIS REDSN0W WILL NOT HACTIVATE! You need to be an iOS developer with a registered UDID to get past the activation screens. PLEASE DON’T PIRATE APPLE SOFTWARE! Only registered devs with Macs can develop iOS applications,and only those people will have legitimate access to the beta IPSWs.

THIS IS A TETHERED JAILBREAK ONLY! No new exploits are being exposed with this jailbreak (it uses geohot’s limera1n bootrom exploit), but that comes at a cost. You will need to use redsn0w’s “Just boot” button to be able to use many things, including Safari. If you see Safari or iBooks crash when you open them, it’s because you didn’t boot tethered.

You must point redsn0w at your IPSW the first time you “Jailbreak” and “Just boot” tethered because that IPSW is only available to developers, and redsn0w can’t automatically fetch the pieces it needs from it. By the time you’ve done a “Just boot” tethered JB though, redsn0w has cached all the files it needs from the IPSW so you won’t need to point redsn0w at it any longer.

Downgrade 6.15.00 Baseband Coming This Sunday

After the great achievement that has been made by iPhone Dev-team in the iPhone 3GS / 3G 06.15.00 baseband downgrade project. Today, MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev-team announced an estimate time for releasing downgrade 6.15.00 baseband for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G users.

How iPhone 3GS / 3G users will be able to downgrade their devices? Well, MuscleNerd confirms through his Twitter account, that downgrade process will be done via a new button that will be implemented on the new version of Redsn0w (likely Redsn0w 0.9.13b1)


What is the value behind downgrading 6.15.00 baseband? Actually, we have many benefits, as most of you know that 6.15.00 baseband caused problems with GPS, so that downgrading iPad baseband to lower and normal baseband will fix all GPS issues. Add to this, off-contract AT&T users will be able to make official unlock via AT&T for free so that they will be able to use their iPhones on any carrier, all other unlockers will be able to use ultrasn0w to unlock their devices.

When downgrade 6.15.00 will be released? MuscleNerd is aiming to release it on this Sunday, stay tuned.

MuscleNerd Success To Jailbreak iOS 6 Beta1

MuscleNerd Success To Jailbreak iOS 6 Beta 1. Just after Apple announced releasing iOS 6 beta 1 which comes with some great features. Yesterday MuscleNerd  has just announced on his Twitter account that he was able to jailbreak his iPod Touch 4G which is running on iOS 6 beta 1. But unfortunately I would like to tell you don’t except it to available to the public.


MuscleNerd says that they will face a huge difficulty in bringing iOS 6 beta 1 untethered jailbreak to all the Apple devices. because it looks like that iOS 6 breaks a whole lot of stuff, including Cydia, and it’ll be a while before there’s an iOS 6 jailbreak. Here’s the tweet from him:

Here’s ioreg of my tethered-JB ipt4g 6.0:http://is.gd/1qOwvW ..MANY things including Cydia are broken, don’t expect beta JB for a while!

Of course, for a small minority of you, iOS 6 may negate the need for jailbreaking. Improvements like fullscreen mode in Safari, Facebook and Twitter links in Notification Center, and new features for many of the stock apps could mean that the tweaks you jailbreak for are no longer necessary.

New In iOS 6: Adding Retina Shutdown Spinner Graphic

A new feature have been found in iOS 6 that will really makes you happy..

So have you already tried this feature or not ?!

The new iPhone will have the front camera HD?

The new iPhone that Apple is expected to present after the summer could mount a front camera with HD resolution.

According to the KGI, which just a few minutes ago confirmed that the sixth-generation iPhone could have a 4-inch display with 16:9 aspect ratio, another novelty concerns the front camera. On the new iPhone, this camera would be like HD, capable of providing a high quality video stream for movie recording and taking still photos, both for video calls.
The camera should then be moved to the center, to better adapt to the new shape of the device. As for the rear camera, according to KGI Apple will keep the 8Mpx but will improve the range of opening to get af/2.2 (against the current f/2.4). This camera should be even thinner, thanks to great work by its engineers.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH POD2G / JAILBREAK DREAM TEAM

Share47

Over the last few weeks we have been talking a lot about Pod2G the hacker behind many of the most recent jailbreaks.

Craig Fox: Hello Pod2g, so my first question is a simple one: What is the story behind your Twitter handle/nick Pod2g?
Pod2g: Hi Craig, ok so I chose this name because I joined Twitter when the iPod2g (2nd-generation) was being released and thought it was a perfect name for my Twitter account. I immediately contacted ‘Chronic Dev Team’ and began helping them with the Jailbreak.
Craig Fox: What age were you when you got into programming?
Pod2g: I was 6 years old. I started on my father’s computer ZX Spectrum, and he bought me a book with basic source code, I copied the stuff from the book, then I started to understand code and started to write my own at the age of 8.
Craig Fox: What is your favorite programming language?
Pod2g: My favorite language is Java. It’s very weird because in those days Java was not getting good press in the security field. It is good because you write some code one time and it works on any system that supports the Java platform, and this object programming language is one of the most advanced object languages out there.
Craig Fox: If you could add one feature to Java what would it be?
Pod2g: They have done a great job with JNA (Java Native Access), but in recent builds JNA is not included in the standard Java runtime, so you have to include it in your library on your project so you are able to use it. So, I would say I would like Java to include JNA as the standard API.
Craig Fox: To date, what is the coolest project you have worked on?
Pod2g: Without a doubt the coolest project I’ve worked on is the latest AbsintheJailbreak, and what we did with Corona + Rocky Racoon is very nice.
Craig Fox: What’s the worst thing to happen to you whilst making a Jailbreak?
(Nikias Bassen aka Pimskeks instantly said Geohot’s release of Limera1n on this)
Pod2g: Yes, I would say the release of Limera1n hurt us a lot at first, but in the end it was the right move, we feel as Limera1n worked on many more devices than SHAtter did. And I can say, as a few months have passed that this was the right move from him. So it wasn’t really the worst thing that happened but it was at the time.
Craig Fox: Have you coded anything for the App Store?
Pod2g: No, but I wanted to make one App for DJ’S, as I used to be a DJ and I felt there are no good Apps in the App Store for DJs to scratch. (I suggested Djay to him here)
Pod2g: Djay’s scratch algorithm is all wrong, it sucks. (So make a better one I said) to which he replied “I have but I have no plans to release it”.
Craig Fox: So maybe we will see a Pod2g dev company in the future?
Pod2g: Yes, why not.
Craig Fox: What do you think Apple will announce at WWDC this year?
Pod2g: I think Apple will for sure announce iOS 6 and a new iPhone.
Craig Fox: And finally will you be at WWJC (JailbreakCon)?
Pod2g: I will be there to speak and not only that, but to do a small hacking workshop.

Big thanx for World Wide Jailbreak Convention
