Just like how it was when iOS 4.3.2 was released, it seems like some iPhone users are having trouble when restoring their device to either stock, or custom iOS 4.3.3 firmware.
Hot on the heals of the iPhone location fiasco (or 'locationgate' for those with a flair for the overly-dramatic) comes Footprints, an application for tracking iOS devices, but in a good way.
After all the furore surrounding the revelation that iOS devices have been keeping tabs on where they've been and saving the information to various log files both on the device and the computer they're synced to, Apple released iOS 4.3.3 to rectify the issue. But did it do the job? According to PCMag, it did indeed.
Cydia, the jailbreak App Store of choice is home to thousands of apps, tweaks and themes for jailbroken iOS devices, but it can be a little too busy, making discovery nigh-on impossible. If you know what you're looking for though, you're golden. If you're thumbing through the categories though, wouldn't it be easier if you could do it from the comfort of your desk on a nice large screen? Enter Cydia Search, from Planet-iPhones.
iPhone developer ih8sn0w has updated Sn0wbreeze to version 2.7 in-order to include support untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.3 (iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod touch) and iOS 4.2.8 on Verizon iPhone 4.
The just released PwnageTool 4.3.3 by the iPhone Dev Team can jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad (1st-gen), iPod touch 4G/3G, Apple TV, and at the same time will help retain the old baseband for iPhone 4 and 3GS users so that they can unlock using Ultrasn0w.
The iPad 2 is still on short supply, but the iPad 3 rumors have started already with RCRWireless writing that Apple is planning to bring 3D to its next tablet, citing a Hollywood source.
If there is one area where Apple's iOS still lags behind Google's Android, it's in the software updating process. As things stand today, eager updaters must first be informed that an update is available and then run off to plug their iDevice into a computer for iTunes to work its magic. Contrast this with the painless over-the-air nature of Android's updates and it's clear to see where Apple needs to be focusing its energy right now.
Surprise! surprise! Just like in iOS 4.3.2, Apple hasn’t patched i0n1c’s untether exploit in the just released iOS 4.3.3. What this means is that we are going to see full untethered jailbreak for all devices on iOS 4.3.3, soon.
I have just tested this and can confirm that the current latest version of Redsn0w can jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 (tethered) on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G/3G and other A4 based devices.
