***I hate Cydia

Few minutes ago ron has post a comment in our blog regarding “How To make a custom rington for iPhone without jailbreaking”. It’s so wonderful…

The Process

1. Select an “.mp3″ that you want to use as a ringtone
2. Convert the “.mp3″ to an “.m4a” using an audio converter
3. Rename the extension of the “.m4a” to “.m4r”
   • If windows says the item may not work or become unstable just continue
4. Go to ringtones on iTunes and add new item and browse to the ringtone you just created
5. Now sync ipod and your custom tone will be on your iphone

I found a new application in cydia named “ActiveMMS2G”. That’s a good news for those who love their ORIGINAL iPhone!
But during install process several errors appears on screen & cydia crashed. It seems that a conflict with “asBattery” package causes these errors

Stay tuned..

DevTeam Blog:

We can jailbreak the 3GS right now. But making our jailbreak public at this point in time would benefit relatively few people. It would in fact be detrimental to many more people than it would help. So we feel it’s best to keep our version of the jailbreak out of Apple’s sights for the time being.
The reason why we’re delaying our version of the jailbreak: Once the jailbreak is out, Apple will fix the iBoot-family bug we use to accomplish it. They will simply stop signing the old iBoots and only sign the fixed ones. If you bought your phone after Apple has done this, there’s nothing you can do…the jailbreak isn’t going to work for you.

Stay Tuned..

iPhone Dev-Team:

About 5 hours ago (Thursday evening, less than a week after the 3GS launch), we were able to verify that the 24Kpwn exploit that the hybrid team used on the iPod Touch 2G is still present in the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS. That means we can apply the same sort of technique used by our current redsn0w tool to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS.

This is great news, but how did it happen?  Why didn’t Apple fix this in their normal cat&mouse fashion?  Well it seems this bootrom was cut in about the August 2008 timeframe, so the unintended early reveal of 24Kpwn earlier this year didn’t affect the iPhone 3GS.

For our technical notes on where the 24Kpwn exploit is in the 3GS, see here (pastebin hash of it is here).    Our original blog post for when this exploit was first found is here.

And yes, ultrasn0w will be able to be used on the iPhone 3GS for you unlockers!

Important: Apple has not given up on the cat&mouse game, and in fact there are challenging aspects of the 3GS jailbreak that aren’t in the other devices.  It’ll take some time to safely work these into our tools, but the fundamental weaknesses are there:  The bootrom is exploitable via 24Kpwn, and the baseband is exploitable via ultrasn0w.  (And just like with the 3G, ultrasn0w for 3GS requires that you not update your baseband when Apple comes out with new firmware.)

Few hours ago Dev-Team release they new unlocking software called “Ultrasn0w“. As they said before, ultrasn0w can be used to unlock iPhone 3G (Firmware 2.x & 3.0) and the new iPhone 3GS (If jailbreakable!!!).

Using ultrasn0w is easy as 1,2,3!

Instructions

1. Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
2. Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool -How To-
3. Add the following repository to Cydia or icy
   • repo666.ultrasn0w.com
4. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install it
   • T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
5. Reboot your iPhone 3G
6. Enjoy!

Users who purchased an iPhone 3G alien must still wait a while ‘before being able to update and unlock their devices. The Dev-Team is working on ultrasn0w and MuscleNerd via Twitter, tells us that the daemon will also work on SIM locked by a PIN.

Today we are talking about adding a Tweak the same switch in the menu Settings> General>

Let’s see how it works:

1. Open Cydia and move to the Search section
2. write “iPhone-notes” in the search and install the repository
3. Go to the “Changes” and install the package called “asBattery”
4. Install it
5. Reboot iPhone

As soon as the phone starts again, which came into Settings> General> Usage, and you will find a switch on top that allows you to enable or disable the battery as a percentage.

The author of Tweak was tested only on the iPhone 3G, I have just tested on Original iPhone and it works well, but obviously only if you install the Firmware 3.0.

One of the new features in iPhone OS 3.0 is “Voice Memos” -How To use- , a native app that can record, play & share what you say!!
Let’s run the application…

As above, sees a big microphone is on the center of screen and there is a  VU meter below. Try touching the microphone! VU meter peak LED turns on!!!
now touch the iPhone’s microphone!! nothing happens!!
What was wrong?!
Yes This is a Touch sensitive microphone!
