The iPhone Dev-Team has just updated the ultrasn0w unlocking tool for iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G. This new version has lots of new tweaks added for performance and stability improvement. It will also help with standby battery life incase if your phone is draining the battery too fast. The compatibility though remains the same. It will work with all iPhones up to iOS 4.0.1 with baseband 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.04.

iOS 3.2.2 has been released to patch the PDF exploit used by JailbreakMe. If you love your jailbroken iPad on iOS 3.2.1 and want to keep the jailbreak, DO NOT update to this new firmware yet or you’ll lose the jailbreak because there is currently no tool available yet which can jailbreak iPad, iPhone and iPod touches on their respective new firmwares.
There are rumors flying left and right about Apple releasing the iOS 4.0.2 firmware for iPhones and iPod touches and iOS 3.2.2 for iPad in only a few hours from now. This update will patch the PDF exploit which is used by JailbreaMe to jailbreak all iOS devices. If you accidently update to iOS 4.0.2 / iOS 3.2.2, it will be impossible for you to jailbreak and unlock straight away until a new tool is available. The only way you can jailbreak again will be by downgrading back to iOS 4.0.1 or iOS 4 for which you will need your SHSH blobs.
The title says it all! Yes, you can now get very alpha version of Flash (aka Frash) running right on your iPhone 4. Previously, we showed you how to install Flash (Frash) on iPad. And now folks at Grant Pannell site has managed to compile an iPhone 4 version of Flash. The credit for this of course goes to Comex, the guy behind Spirit and JailbreakMe tools for iOS devices. Without his hard work, this surely wouldn’t have been possible.
If you recently unlocked your iPhone 4 and tried to run it on a T-Mobile US SIM, you must have noticed that MMS doesn’t work anymore. Well good news is that there is now a fix available in Cydia which will fix this problem once and for all.
JailbreakMe has to be hands down the easiest jailbreak method ever, but since it uses userland exploit like Spirit, it doesn’t hacktivate phones. iPhone dev and hacker named Sherif Hashim came up with a way to activate phones without having the original SIM cards but now it seems like Apple has found out about the phonebook SIM card trick and they have blocked it. And so if you activated your phone using phonebook SIM card, you will be getting the dreaded “Different SIM Detected” error on your lockscreen as shown in the screenshot below.
I was trying to install all those tweaks and mods which I previously had on iPhone 3GS on to my iPhone 4 only to find out that some of the more important and popular apps were still not compatible with the Apple’s latest handset. Then I came around this list of iPhone and iOS 4.x jailbreak compatibility list which does a good job in keeping you up to date with what's working and what's not for your version of handset and OS.
Whoa! Apple has just opened up a new featured section in the App Store which is titled as “Try Before You Buy”. As the name suggests, this new section features all the lite and free version of popular apps in the App Store. If anything, Apple must have taken this initiative in a bid to fight against the ever growing number of pirated apps which are easily available on jailbroken iPhones, iPod touches and iPads.
Apple today has confirmed to CNET that they have investigated the exploit used by JailbreakMe 2.0 and that they have already developed a fix for it which will be released in a form of new firmware update soon. The spokeswomen of Apple though didn’t give any specific release date as to when will it be pushed, but knowing Apple, it wouldn’t be too long before it is released for all iOS devices.
Running a jailbroken iPhone on iOS 4 / 4.0.1 and having problems running Skype to its full potential? Well you don’t need to worry now. A new MobileSubstrate package has just been released in Cydia which fixes all issues that you maybe having running Skype on a iOS device which is jailbroken using the newly released JailbreakMe 2.0. To fix the issue, simply start Cydia and and apply all the updates, including that of MobileSubstrate version 0.9.3226-1 to run Skype with full multitasking support in iOS 4.
