News Upcoming jailbreak for iPad 3.2 and all devices 3.1.3
Friday, April 30, 2010
A great quote from BigBoss :
So many rumors, complaints, confused people. I want to help clarify a few things about the jailbreak community and upcoming releases.
First, I want to speak about the time it has taken for 3.1.3 to be jailbroken. Many think this indicates that Apple has won or that the jailbreak is just too hard. This is far from the truth. The fact is that 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 are really basically the same firmware. 3.1.3 was not “worth” doing a jailbreak for. Jailbreaks are done by finding a bug in Apple’s software and then exploiting it in some way that allows for the device to be compromised. At that point, the jailbreak software bundle is uploaded to the device and executed. When this completes, root access is achieved on the device.
Every time a jailbreak is released, Apple analyzes how it was accomplished and fixes the bug that was used to jailbreak the device. Quite simply, 3.1.3 was not worth giving this bug to Apple to fix it. However, Apple has since released the iPad. This has become worth using up an exploit to jailbreak the iPad. As of today, the main iPad world wide release has not yet occurred. Spirit should be close to ready when it does.
At this point, there are *at least* two known exploits that have been used to provide jailbreaks. The first one we will see is from Comex and is called Spirit. The next one is either from Geohot and is called LimeRa1n or Chronic dev called Greenpois0n. Here are some infos on these jailbreaks:
Spirit - There is no current release date (no, it will not be Friday as rumors say). This will work on all device to date and will not be tethered. This will jailbreak 3.1.3 and 3.2 (iPad) devices. This jailbreak will require that your device is activated. That means, if your device says only “slide for emergency” you cannot use this jailbreak until you insert a valid sim card and activate the device. After that, you can jailbreak. Therefore, there will be no unlocking on Spirit. For those running 3.1.2 that wish to update to 3.1.3 and use Spirit, you cannot do so if you require an unlock. It is also unclear if a 3.1.2 version will be released to simply untether those of you that are on 3.1.2 (spirit currently requires a stock unjailbroken device to work). Spirit is real and it works very well. The current version is command line and a GUI is being written for it for both Windows and OSX.
Spirit, while originally found and done by Comex alone, is being made into a product using the cooperation of many teams (iphone dev team, chronic dev team, as well as Comex). As we should all understand, getting a jailbreak from exploit to usable tool is quite a bit of work. Especially on a new device like iPad where many tools have to be rewritten or updated (like Cydia).
LimeRa1n - This is what Geohot is calling his jailbreak. Originally it was going to be released for iPad first, but instead Geohot got busy and is holding it for 4.0 (possibly to be completed by Chronic dev team). There may be an unlock planned by Geohot after 4.0 is released but its not clear yet. This jailbreak will not require an activated device and works differently than Spirit in that sense. In addition, there is a tethered and non-tethered version of this. It is not totally clear yet, but it may be possible to stretch this into two jailbreaks, one tethered and one not.
Greenpois0n - This uses the same exploit that Geohot found and was being worked on by posixninja of the Chronic Dev Team. Greenpois0n is more of a toolset that can be used to find other jailbreaks, firmware decryption keys, and may be useful in the future. When it will be released is also unclear.
How does this affect you?
Here will be your options when Spirit is released shortly:
1) You are on iPhone 3gs and are a subscriber to a contract carrier like AT&T. You will be able to update to 3.1.3 and jailbreak your device non-tethered.
2) You are on iPhone pre-3gs - you can update to 3.1.3 and jailbreak today with redsn0w.
3) You have a device that is not an iPhone (its an ipod touch any generation or an ipad) - you can update to 3.1.3 and use Spirit to jailbreak.
4) You have an iPhone unlocked and on 3.1.2 tethered. You will have to wait. Spirit will probably not work for you. If you update to 3.1.3, your baseband will be updated and you will not be able to unlock again.
5) You are on 3.1.2 and happy. Just install “3.1.3 firmware app”, click “3.1.3″ then “reboot” and you are as good as anyone that restored to 3.1.3 and jailbroke. Everything in appstore that requires 3.1.3 will work now.
In any case, you guys will want to keep your shsh stored in Cydia. 3.1.3 shsh’s will become valuable soon.
News Play iPad games on TV with iPhone controller
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
Dave at Magic Jungle Software wanted to turn the iPad into a video game console. So he got on his thinking cap and did a little bit of development to turn his idea into a reality. The video you see here shows an iPad running a demo of his game, Chopper 2 (currently in development), while connected to a 42" TV via Apple's component cable.
Even better, David notes that he used all public APIs to accomplish this feat. As of the 3.2 SDK, Apple now offers App Store-safe ways to send video out through a VGA connector or through a component video or composite video adapter cable. You can get an idea of some of the details behind this technology in the slides from this 10-minute impromptu talk given by Erica Sadun over the weekend at the Voices that Matter conference.
But wait! There's more! The super fun part is that he's controlling the game with is iPhone via Bluetooth. He's using a GameKit two-device connection, effectively turning the iPhone into a wireless controller for the iPad. It's very cool, and the first we've seen an iPhone controlling an iPad game in this way. Connecting it to a TV was the cherry on top.
This isn't the first time this kind of gaming on the TV using an iPhone has been done. Freeverse engineer created a proof-of-concept system using private APIs to achieve video out with an iPhone back in 2008. You can watch the video they created, using routines that Erica published over at Ars Technica. Magic Jungle isn't using any private calls, however. Their software is publishable, which means unlike that early demo, the chances of this ending up in your hands so you can try it out on your actual device are pretty high.
All in all, this is pretty neat. Games often suffer from your hands being in the way (I'm looking at you, Resident Evil). On-screen smudges can diminish a real immersion experience. You simply don't experience those issues when the device itself is merely a controller.
Here's hoping we seem more of this.
I can't wait to play.

News Thunderst0rm : unlock Baseband 05.12.01 *FAKE!*
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
Update 4 : Swiss project "Thunderst0rm " was a Fake !
Thunderst0rm was “supposed” to be an untethered jailbreak for 3.1.3. It was released and is available for download. Thunderst0rm is fake. Do not download or run it. We aren’t sure what all it does, but it does not jailbreak your device. Furthermore, it may install some spyware or something. It should be avoided. Rumors say it deletes several files from iTunes meaning you would possibly have to reinstall iTunes after running it.
Another one called TurboSn0w2 is also fake.
There are currently 2 known working exploits on 3.1.3/3.2 (ipad). One will be released from Comex called “Spirit” and the other by Geohot which will probably be one of his “Ra1n” apps. The two folks above are working together and will make sure that both are not released for the same device firmware. That means the next two major apple releases should be able to be jailbroken without looking for additional exploits.
If you don’t see news about it here, at the iphone-dev team blog, or at Geohot’s “on the iphone” blog, assume that it is not real and do not run it until you see confirmation at one of the above sites.
Update 3 : Thunderst0rm Team has released a software, which is mentionned "Final"
Download Final Thunderst0rm : Official
!!! USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
Update 2 : Thunderst0rm Team has posted a new video of their finished jailbreak tool !
In fact, the video is not very clear but the software is finished and if tests show that ALL iDevices can be jailbroken, their jailbreak tool will be released today !
I prefer to tell you that it is information and of course, I can not be sure that it is Fake or not...
Wait and see...Update : Release of their tool soon... but KEEP AWAY FROM THIS TOOL! It smells like a Fake !
Thunderst0rm, final release in 9 days (on April 23rd 2010) which promises jailbreak of Firmware 3.1.3 and unlock of baseband 05.12.01.
-----
Thunderst0rm is a project coming from Switzerland.
This software would be able to unlock iPhone with baseband 05.12.01.
According to MuscleNerd, it is a FAKE! Wait and see...
Thunderst0m, Fake or not ?
Loading ...News Admob : iPhone grabs half all global smartphone use
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
AdMob has released new data offering mutiple insights into the mobile ads market, not least the really rather curious statistic that nearly 30 per cent of first-gen iPhones are still in use.
Three devices – the iPhone 3GS (39 percent), second generation iPod touch (25 percent) and iPhone 3G (20 percent) – generated 84 percent of total iPhone OS traffic.
iPhone 3GS traffic share has increased from 30 percent in September 2009 to 39 percent in March 2010. The 1st Generation iPhone only generated 2 percent of iPhone OS requests in March 2010.
The two most recent versions of the iPhone OS generate 86% of the traffic. In March 2010, 44% of iPhone OS traffic came from devices running iPhone OS 3.1.3 and 42% from iPhone OS 3.1.2.
AdMob says 2% of its traffic is coming from those old iPhones, which Philip Elmer-DeWitt over at Apple 2.0 estimates Apple sold about 6.1 million units of across the product’s life span.
DeWitt estimates that 7% of the pre-iPad devices running iPhone OS must be v.1 iPhones in his attempt to deduce first gen iPhones in the wild.
News Cops have collared that iPad finger-ripping criminal
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
Police have apprehended the iPad finger ripper thief.
You may recall the sequence of events, Bill Jordan was collecting an iPad for a friend from the Cherry Creek Shopping Center Apple Store in Colorado.
As he was leaving the mall he was assaulted by two men who stole the iPad, and while doing so damaged his little finger so badly that it had to be amputated.
The Denver Post now tells us the police caught one of the men. The suspect, identified as Brandon Darnell Smith (20), is described as 6-feet tall and weighing 160 pounds.
The man was arrested without incident and is being held in connection with the investigation into the assault and robbery of Jordan.
News Apple purchases Intrinsity ARM CPU
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
Apple today confirmed earlier reports claiming it has acquired small chip maker, Intrinsity, the experts behind the A4 processor inside the iPad.
The New York Times report follows speculation Apple was in talks to acquire the firm. The report repeats additional speculation that Intrinsity was involved in development of the A4 chip. IEEE's Spectrum’s earlier claims were that Apple used Intrinsity to speed up the design of ARM chips used in its mobile devices.
The company accelerates ARM CPU designs while reducing power consumption. In July, Samsung announced an Intrinsity-enhanced 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 chip (Hummingbird).

App Search 1.0
Monday, April 26, 2010
Download 1.0 : Official
App Search is a new search engine specially built for searching iPhone apps. The database is updated daily to keep track of all apps in the Apple Store.
Unlike the limited visibility from App Store on iPhone, we provide more flexibility to the user when searching apps.
For the user's convenience, we have different top lists using different metrics. For example, we have a list of apps which are the most recent apps which are on discount and their current prices are $0. This helps the user to find the most recent free apps on discount. Based on user's needs, they can view the different lists based on their needs. However, if you go to App Store, their ranking policies are not so flexible.
We also support keyword search. App Store only search for app name and the keyword list provided by the developers. However, sometimes, these keywords are not accurate since the developers may not provide proper keywords. In our search engine, we also search through the app description for keyword. (This feature is in development) Users can also choose how to rank the order of the search results, based on price, ratings, release date, or price change, etc. However, in App Store, you can't do any of this.

News First iPad Theft
Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Denver police have released surveillance video showing the widely-reported iPad theft in which robbers seriously damaged the finger of the victim while ripping him off.
The attack took place on Monday when Jordan collected the iPad from a Denver Apple Store for a co-worker. He was leaving the mall with the bag wrapped around his hand when the thief struck, seizing the bag with such force victim, Bill Jordan, saw his finger seriously torn.
"I saw just a bone, all the skin and tendons and everything were off," Jordan told CBS affiliate KCNC.
Surveillance video shows two African-Americans following him. "The film shows them walking right behind me down the stairs as I was going out the store," Jordan explained.
Metro Denver Crimestoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading the capture and conviction of the suspects.
News Apple plans to introduce iTravel
Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Look to Patently Apple, who’ve unearthed the patent which is evidently being developed with the airlines in order to ensure the iPhone can deliver the goods - and the security - when ticketless travel makes it to prime time in years to come.
Apple's iTravel focuses on such matters as airline check-in and baggage identification, advanced electronic ID, car rentals, hotel and airline reservations and so forth. “Apple's iTravel is yet another Near Field Communications based application within a host of recent revelations,” reveals Patently Apple. That’s all-based on those varied technologies for this Apple’s been tinkering with for a while - RFID chips in your iPhones are coming.
It gets interesting, the upgraded iPhone camera can take digital images of travel documents, after which the device can use optical character recognition (OCR) software, barcode reading software, and/or QR code reading software to extract ticket information from the image!
There’s so much to this patent, including security and identity check implementations, ticket purchasing, and so much more.
It even introduces the concept of an automated security checking process where users of the iTravel app could process themselves through the security clearance system and check themselves in at the boarding gate...
Oh, and it looks a little to us like the iPhone can even alert you when your baggage is circling its way to you on the baggage reclaim.
