It’s here — iPhone DevTeam’s Pwnage…

Mac OS X features:

• iPwner: Pwns your iPhone, the safer jailbreak
• IPSW Builder: Lets you create custom firmware to load to you pwnd phone including unlocking, neutering, custom pictures, activation, and bootloader upgrade/downgrade.
• Bootneuter: A neutered bootloader survives iTunes updates, even updates to 1.2.0 (aka 2.0). Unlike unlocking which requires a new patch for each firmware version, you only need to neuter once.

The “DevTeam” would like to announce the release of the OS X version of the PwnageTool application.

The team (and especially Wizdaz) have been working hard to bring you this release in as short a time as possible.

The plan (4 weeks ago) was to release a Mac tool only. This was decided because of the lack of reliable Mac filesystem tools on Windows, and the fact that the task of porting them would be too time consuming.

With that in mind the genius that is “cmw” stepped up to the plate and offered his services to the DevTeam. He proposed to provide a tool that would give the same functionality and User Interface as the Mac tool.

cmw has done an almost unthinkable task and ported the almost complete Pwnage Tool to Windows in a little under a week, and we would like to thank him for this unbelievable work. He is currently in the final test stages and hopefully this should be finished within the next 24 hours (but even he needs sleep and family time occasionally!) We’ll post a link as soon as the testing has finished.

Zibri has released ZiPhone version 3.0; the tool that does it all and now even more… Utilizing ZiPhone’s new plugin system (see PLUGIN_HOWTO.TXT) you may trigger user specific actions or events after the jailbreak operation, or when executing “ziphone –P”.

ZiPhone 3.0 changes:

• No more need of fix nvram
• Solution for GREYED wifi
• No need for YouTube Fixes
• Embedded apps installer
• Customized plugins

Thanks, son of Erik the Red.

Zibri’s rockin’ a new version of ZiPhone…

Current ZiPhone users:

iPhone owners — you have no *real* reason to upgrade. Boys & girls sporting the iPod Touch — you want this version; it clears/fixes the NVRAM issue. Download, click on CLEAR/FIX NVRAM, then after reboot, jailbreak that bad boy (or girl).

New ZiPhone users:

If you’re looking for a simple software solution to activate, jailbreak, and unlock your iPhone/iPod Touch — download ZiPhone right now. It doesn’t get much easier than this.

The dev team has been using dual-booting to jailbreak the iPhone for several months now, however now that several more advanced techniques have been developed (many of which are still private), I thought it apropos to release this cool hack for those who would like to dual boot multiple versions of the iPhone software (or other OS’s) from their handset. It’s a neat little hack that I think might be useful for developers playing with 1.2, which appears to disable the radio (phone calls).

Cool hack indeed. It’s somewhat of a complex process requiring technical know-how. If you’re unfamiliar or uncomfortable with command line, don’t bother attempting this. Otherwise — go nuts!

Kudos team.

iPhone Dual Boot Howto

Introducing a new software package for downgrading the boot loader, bypassing activation, performing a successful jailbreak, and finally SIM unlocking your iPhone on system software 1.1.4 — that is Aviegas’ iPlus 2.0b. Fully automatic and all that; Windows and Mac (Intel/PPC).

Leif has shared two tutorials — both for Windows and Mac OS X — those courtesy of hackthatphone.com. Enjoy!

It’s recommended you read this before hand.

Well, in terms of Apple taking reprisals, the 1.1.4 update certainly doesn’t do much. In fact, 1.1.4 unlock methods are already circulating the Internet, while previously discovered jail break techniques continue to work just fine.

New for Mac OS X users — The Operator’s iNdependence v1.4 beta 5 — adding full support for iPhone system software 1.1.4.

iNdependence v1.4 beta 5 changelog:

• Added SIM unlocking on firmware 1.1.4 (using gunlock)
• Changed the SIM unlock warning to reflect new information with regard to IPSF-based unlocking
• Made it so that iNdependence automatically removes old versions of the RAM disks it creates
• Changed the credits for the RAM disk jailbreak method
• Updated the documentation for the new SSH removal dialog

And everyone should know this, a message from The Operator –

…ok, now I’m taking this whole media thing seriously. I just heard that www.iphoneunlockuk.com is basically selling my software. They essentially give you a small wrapper program which downloads iNdependence, and charge money for doing that. And they were even promoted on UK media shows! I urge people (both media and otherwise) to combat this scammery by telling everyone where to get iNdependence and that it’s free.

Update: Hitting more frequent than quick pick lotto… ZiPhone v2.3 is out! Details in the README.

Update: 2.2 bug fix release… Grab it below.

Update: Another day, another ZiPhone release — version 2.1 comin’ in hot… Changes include:

• corrected the “apple logo bug”
• removed -v option; ZiPhone now uses verbose mode by default
• added integrity check on zibri.dat
• added 2 .BAT files for windows
• updated README.txt
• the Windows GUI and OS X versions were not updated; but will work so long as you don’t specify -v

Update: I should mention ZiPhone v2.0 repaired the iPhone mentioned in this post; the one unable to receive calls. Solid app, cheers.

Update: ZiPhone 2.0 is out now. Quoting Zibri, “…the command line version, you will find a new option ‘-b’ be very careful with that! I take no responsibility if you brick your phone! ZiPhone -b will downgrade bootloader from 4.6 to 3.9, flash 4.03.13_G baseband version and unlock it (in one shot!).”

Experiencing difficulties with previous activation, jailbreak, and unlock methods? No longer! Forget all that tedious nonsense and enter Zibri’s ZiPhone. For real, it doesn’t get any easier than this…

Bypass activation and jailbreak any iPhone OS version. Unlock whatever baseband on boot loader 3.9 and 4.6 — that means 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 OOTB (out-of-the-box) also work! Just connect your phone via USB and run the app. It’s mentioned ZiPhone will revive many “dead” basebands too; so if you messed up a previous attempt, this will likely solve that issue.

Both Windows and Mac versions available.

Kudos to everyone involved making this possible.
