George Hotz, who was famous for unlocking the very first iPhone back in 2007, and remained active within the iOS hacking community ever since, was spotted at iOSDevCamp on Saturday.
Many of us appreciate, even rely upon the hardcore techies of the hacking community to deliver the tweaks and mods that circumvent the limitations and help us realize the true potential of the devices we own. Whether it's rooting the HTC Desire or jailbreaking the iPad 2 (or hacking the PS3, which can land you in a whole lot of trouble if you aren't careful), no sooner are the firmware versions or devices released than the developers are beavering away looking for exploits in the system.
Back in the DVD golden age, I can remember having a difficult decision to make, regarding DVDs of course and their dreaded players. DVDs were brand new tech (I'm showing my age again, aren't I?) and wanting to be at the front of the technological curve, I wanted to get my hands on a DVD player. Problem was, I knew those little plastic platters had a new-fangled region lock on them, and I didn't like it.
According to i0n1c, a well-known member of the iOS jailbreaking community, users should not expect to see an untethered jailbreak for the just-released iOS 4.3.4 anytime soon.
Many people enjoy having two phone numbers in order to balance their personal and professional life. The old-fashioned way is to just own two phones, but some phones now have two SIM slots, allowing users to use two phone numbers on the same phone, simultaneously. While the iPhone doesn't have this feature out-of-the-box, there's now an add-on that lets you replicate it, sort of.
With iOS 4.3.4 just released, rendering the also just-released super-simple JailbreakMe useless, some might be wondering how to jailbreak the new release of iOS. Well the iPhone Dev Team has just pushed a small update to Redsn0w to make it compatible with the just released iOS 4.2.4 firmware. This new version of Redsn0w can tether jailbreak most iOS devices on iOS 4.3.4, namely iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod touch 4G/3G. The only device that's not supported at the moment is the iPad 2. The process should only take a few minutes to get Cydia up and running on your device.
According to new market data, Microsoft managed to sell 507,000 Xbox 360's in the month of June, selling nearly twice as many as other current-generation competitors. This is a positive outcome for the 6-year-old console.
China is infamous for exporting many a fake electronic product. As Apple's iDevices invariably generate the lion's share of the media's attention, so do the knock-offs which constantly spring up. You can generally find fake iPhones and iPods at a fraction of the price from the likes of eBay, most of which are poor replicas of the real deal. However every once in a while, a decent one pops up which raises a few eyebrows in the tech community.
Just like how you could jailbreak the iPhone and iPod touch with custom PwnageTool bundles, you can now jailbreak the iPad using the same method.
Earlier today, Apple released iOS 4.3.4 to close the PDF jailbreak hole which was exposed by Comex’s JailbreakMe 3.0. We have already warned you NOT to update to 4.3.4 if you want to keep your untethered jailbreak. If you updated by mistake, you can downgrade back to 4.3.3 and enjoy full untethered jailbreak as long as you have saved SHSH blobs for the firmware you are downgrading on.
