Update : Redsn0w 0.9.5 Beta 5 - 5 is out !!


The iPhone DevTeam just released another update to redsn0w which comes to version 0.9.5b5-5. Some users were unable to send and receive MMS messages, and if you are one of them, here is your fix.

To use this version of redsn0w, and fix your issues, all you need to do is to re-run the tool over your existing jailbreak. If you do that, make sure you don’t install Cydia again. Just de-select Cydia when you will be asked what packages you want to install.

MuscleNerd just posted a tweet congratulating PlanetBeing, comex and chpwn for another userland jailbreak. The image above is a high-resolution screenshot of Cydia ( scaled down to 550px wide, to fix into the post body ) running on the iPhone 4.

Unfortunately, the tool cannot be released publicly yet, because it uses some of Apple’s software.
P0sixninja says: ‘the jailbreak shown is a more of a stepping stone for us, it can’t be released because it includes some of apples software’
Planetbeing: ‘Don’t want to speak for @comex, but afaik no one has breathed a word about release date and what we have right now is nowhere ready’

Below, Cydia in High Res.

You know that the reception issues of the iPhone 4 might be just an iOS 4.0 bug. AppleInsider reports that Apple’s tech support forums originally confirmed that a iOS 4.0.1 software fix addressing the issue would ship early next week (as early as Monday), before the comments were subsequently taken down along with all the other related discussion about the matter.

The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting “no service” rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio.
iOS 4 introduced some enhancements to how the baseband selects which frequencies to use, so it makes sense that the error may have crept into those changes. Additionally, this explains why iOS 4 has also caused similar problems for iPhone 3Gs users.
Other related experiences that also corroborate the idea that the issue is related to iOS 4′s software control of the baseband, including the fact that the issue seems easily reproducible when connecting to a WWAN 3G network but does not appear when connecting to a Microcell 3G. If the problem were simply hardware related issues of the antenna design, it should only affect iPhone 4 units with that new design and should occur at all times, regardless of the tower type. That is not being observed.
If Apple updated the iOS on Monday, they also might update the baseband. But it can also mean that they will just push more juice towards the antennas. If you don’t experience any issues with your brand new iPhone 4 , do not update to 4.01 ( if they will address the issue so fast ). If you unlocked your iPhone with ultrasn0w 0.9.3 and you experience issues on your iPhone 3G/3Gs, do not update either.
Wait until we confirm if the new iOS updates the baseband or not. Otherwise, you will loose your unlock…

Update : Spirit was updated ! It solves the compatibility issue with iTunes 9.2 !!



While we had been under the impression that iTunes 9.2 would be released alongside iOS 4, it appears that Apple has already pushed the update for iTunes to the public, ahead of the scheduled release with iOS 4 on June 21st, 2010.

With this update comes some warning notes for the Jailbreak community, as iTunes 9.2 is not fully compatible with the recent Spirit Jailbreak tool. It is currently recommended to stay away from iTunes 9.2 all together unless you have the need to be on iOS 4 GM. If your not familiar with this, then stop what your doing and simply wait this one out.

If you have not yet jailbroken your device and have iTunes 9.2 installed already, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO JAILBREAK. Your device will go into an infinite boot loop.

If your iDevice is already jailbroken with Spirit prior to iTunes 9.2, then you shouldn't have any problems, but we still recommend to stay away from this update for now. Comex is aware of this and is looking into the issue further to see if he can't patch things up. Patience my friends.

IF your using tools other than Spirit, The iPhone Dev Team has confirmed there are no problems with PwnageTool or RedSn0w with the new iTunes 9.2. So those are you best bet for jailbreaking tools if your already on iTunes 9.2 and need to jailbreak.

Just have a look to this video.

When you turn on an Exchange email account, iPhone auto-locks the screen so that a password is needed every single time you slide the slider. That is pretty annoying. This tool gets rid of that, so that you don't have to enter a password every time. Note: this means that essentially this gets rid of password protection completely from your iphone springboard main screen.
