2009-01-19T17:45:00.003+08:00

Hi guys!I know this could be old news, but reader "Jack Ronan" has updated me on a very interesting piece of information I couldn't resist to post here.Read their update here.So, here you go, Dev Team has successfully jailbroken the 2G iPod Touch.

Strict hiatus

2008-10-08T00:17:00.002+08:00

Hi guys, sorry for being away for a verrryyyy looonnngggg timmmeeee...I already began my commitment onto other parts of my life, hence my devotion for finding more cool stuffs for the iPod Touch slowed down, since version 1.1.4 came about.But I will try to keep up with the pace in the next few weeks (I need time to rebuilt my knowledge). Maybe it's because of my work, I'm having less time looking

I Love My Apple!

2008-07-03T22:37:00.001+08:00

Dedicated to the contents of my blog, I've decided to write this post after deciding on what to write.Firstly, I love Apple!No not that apple... I just ate that one. :P I'm talking about Apple. And it's not just about any other Apple products, but the main reason for this blog, the iPod Touch.Now take a good look at the iPod Touch...Since day 1 I had this beauty in my hands, I didn't let it go

A USD $10 Disposable phone

2008-05-28T01:32:00.001+08:00

Think cheap, think Hop-on!For USD $10, this disposable phone is an anti-iPhone phone, that challenges phones to make calls faster.One catch though, it has NO SCREEN!Check out the product here.And the company is offering USD $5 for returning the phone (instead of disposing it) to encourage users to recycle.Anyway, for a phone that makes excellent calls, I think it's pretty worth it. How about text

psx4all 0.2.0 Review

2008-04-17T22:45:00.003+08:00

I just updated my psx4all, a 3rd party PS1 emulation application for the jailbroken iPod Touch/iPhone.After initial installation, I had to redownload and reinstall the scph1001.bin file because it is now located on another place, and then reset the permissions.The scph1001.bin BIOS should now be placed together in the ROMs folder. Why is that, I don't know.I moved all my ROMs inside /var/mobile/

A Creative representative have step up, giving a long nice message for the Sound Blaster forum participants.Here's the excerpt of the message:Dale-CLWe have read the strong feedback about Creative's forum post regarding driver development by Daniel_k and other outside parties.

I hate 1st April...

2008-04-01T21:47:00.002+08:00

No... I'm not blogging technically today, but just to let you know why I hate 1st April.Firstly, almost all the goodies in the world are trying their best to pull out a prank just on this date. So, things that you worship, you believed, and you trusted are most likely to tell you "something drastic" and tries to shock their fans.I've seen a lot of variations over the years of internet, and hence

Bad customer support? - Creative

2008-04-01T05:44:00.002+08:00

Damn!And I thought Creative is doing as good as it's competitors. I can't believe those outrageous remarks made by multiple users of the Creative forums.First of all, you can read the whole saga on this thread. It's still hot, it might get removed from the forum if it gets out of hand.Here's the case. Apparently, some kind modder (hacker, cracker, software engineer, genius, whatever you call him)

Fix "Main Script Execution Failed"

2008-03-20T13:59:00.006+08:00

I had to restore my iPod Touch twice, but I couldn't figure out the main problem.However, there is a script lying around that allows you to fix your "Main Script Execution Failed" while trying to download any packages off in the Installer.If you have wifi, you're in luck. If you're using a wifi hotspot (like me!) then it depends on your luck.For my case (since I'm a non-wifi user), here's what I

Jailbreak iPod Touch 1.1.3 using ZiPhone 2.6b

Decided to play with my iPod Touch, and try the latest ZiPhone 2.6b (latest, as of date of this post), and jailbreak into 1.1.3.DESPITE the fair warning (see image) inside ZiPhone, I did my best to jailbreak 1.1.3 instead. (Look under the "Important" message)And what do you know? I successfully jailbroken into 1.1.3 using ZiPhone 2.6b!Here's my method:Part 1: Getting into DFU (for upgrading/

Free up space in iPhone/iPod Touch (aka "Trash" in MobileFinder)

2008-03-16T02:47:00.003+08:00

I was doing some housekeeping in my iPod Touch, and I asked myself "I couldn't be having this much space used up! Surely there are 'redundant' data somewhere in it".So I was bored, I looked into each and every file/folder system inside it, using my old time favourite program: iphonebrowser (v1.5.2.0 as of time of post)Then I found this folder:/private/var/root/Library/MobileFinder/TrashGuess what

2008-03-15T05:26:00.003+08:00

UPDATEAs you guys already know, there's a new version for iPod firmware 1.1.5. To my honest opinion, DO NOT UPGRADE YET! There's no known methods for downgrading, conventional "DFU-Restore" doesn't seems to work like it used to for firmware 1.1.4.Also, try not to update iTunes unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing.END OF UPDATEAnyway, purpose of this post is to outline most of the

Jailbreak 1.1.4 (modified ZiPhone)

2008-03-14T15:55:00.006+08:00

Looks like ZiPhone changed the world eh?Anyway, I found another variation to jailbreak 1.1.4 for iPod Touch (yes it claimed it worked flawlessly even for 32GB). Sadly, it's only for Windows users. So Mac users, go find a friend who's running Windows OS. :)Visit his site here for download and instructions.Here's a snippet:iPod Touch: New Way of Jailbreaking 1.1.4 For Windows Users[...]It seems
