iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch Jailbreak

GlasKlart HD for iPhone 4/4s (app icons)

lonman06 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:38:28 +0000

What is the best theme using Winterboard for the iPhone 4/4s? GlasKlart HD in my opinion is one of the nicest themes that can be installed on a jailbroken iPhone 4/4s. The purpose of this post is not to go into how to install this theme on iOS 5.0/5.0.1. This post has been created for the purpose of requesting icons that you are missing in order to complete your entire theme. For those of you who haven’t heard of this theme I suggest doing a google search to find out more information.

Before getting into that I do want to address one common problem with GlasKlart HD and iOS 5.0/5.0.1. I have seen many people are having the problem where the mail, music and video icons don’t work. To fix this problem just follow the steps below:
For Mail, go to /Library/Themes/Glasklart HD Icons.theme/Bundles/com.apple.mobilemail, and change ‘icon@2x.png’ to ‘Icon@2x.png’.
For Music, go to /Library/Themes/Glasklart HD Icons.theme/Bundles/com.apple.mobileipod, and change ‘icon-AudioPlayer@2x.png’ to ‘icon@2x.png’. Then copy ‘icon-VideoPlayer@2x.png’ to your computer.
For Videos, create a new directory in /Library/Themes/Glasklart HD Icons.theme/Bundles called ‘com.apple.videos’, and drag in ‘icon-VideoPlayer@2x.png’. Then, rename it to ‘icon@2x.png’.

For “black icons” I direct you to this post.

Now that we have addressed those issues, you can click here to download the current icons I have created. Feel free to request more in the comments section and I will create them for you.

I hope you all enjoy the current (and many more to come) icons that I have created for the GlasKlart HD theme on the iPhone 4/4s.

iPhone 4s/iPad 2 Jailbreak Guide for iOS 5.0.1/5.0 using GreenPois0n Absinthe

lonman06 — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:33:44 +0000

In case you are still on the fence (or a little confused) about the new iPhone 4s/iPad 2 untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1/5.0 on A5 devices this post is for you. I have been running the jailbreak on my iPhone 4s since the day it has been released and I must say it is very stable and that I am very happy with it. The only issue I had the first time on attempting the jailbreak was that I was stuck at “beginning jailbreak, this may take a while” (first step) for 45 minutes. I will address this problem and a few others later in the post, but first lets get to the untethered iOS 5.0.1/5.0 jailbreak for the iPhone 4s and iPad 2 guide!

This should be a very simple jailbreak for you as it doesn’t even require putting your device in DFU mode.

Step 1: Download and extract greenpois0n from the .zip file, then launch greenpois0n.
Download Absinthe v0.3 Mac OS X
Download Absinthe v0.3 Windows
Step 2: Attach your iPhone 4s iPad 2 to your computer, then click “jailbreak”.
Step 3: At this point Greenpois0n will automatically commence its DFU guide.
Step 4: Press “jailbreak” again (if necessary) and let greenpois0n go to work. At this point you should see lines of text scroll on your device’s screen to assure you that something is happening.
Step 5: After a few minutes (usually) greenpois0n will display a “complete” message. At this point, the greenpois0n injection is complete – just wait for your device to reboot automatically.
Step 6: Once your device has finished rebooting, double-check that you have an active internet connection, then locate and press the “loader” icon on your device. This action will download the Cydia app and install it for you.
Step 7: When Cydia has been installed successfully, your device needs to and will automatically reboot one final time.
Step 8: You just did it! Enjoy!

Now I hope at this point everything has went according to plan, if not, have no fear you are at the right place. Keep reading for a list of common problems.

“I have followed your guide and have the “loader icon”, but my phone does not restart when I click on it. And if I restart my phone manually I do not see Cydia”.
This is a common problem I have seen a bunch of people reporting. Going into “network settings” and resetting network/VPN should do the trick.

“All my photos are gone!”
This is happening because you have not successfully completed the jailbreak process, when you do your photos will reappear.

“I can’t get passed: beginning jailbreak, this may take a while”.
This step can take a few minutes or up to an hour depending on how much data you have on your device. If you have a 64gb device all of this is backed up before this step is completed, so just give it some time! If it takes more than an hour you can attempt to restore the device and try it as well.

Well that does it. I hope you are enjoying your untethered iPhone 4s/iPad 2 jailbreak on iOS 5.0.1/5.0 courtesy of GreenPois0n via the Absinthe exploit. If you have any questions feel free to post them here.

iPhone Jailbreak: SiriToggles from Cydia

lonman06 — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 04:27:50 +0000

This is exactly why I love jailbreaking, SiriToggles from cydia is a great new iPhone 4s jailbreak tweak that greatly expands the everyday use of Siri which is currently in beta. As many of you know, Siri can be very useful, but there a many everyday uses that are left to be desired and this is where SiriToggles comes in (and I must say it does a great job).

With SiriToggles you can do useful tasks such as enabling/disabling wifi. This is simply done by the the command of “enable wifi or turn on wifi”. The same can be done with screen brightness and airplane mode. The other great feature is the ability to launch apps. Simple say launch followed by the name of the app and siri will open it for you. This can even be done from the lockscreen and don’t worry, if you have a passcode you will still be required to enter it before the app is opened.

I highly recommend this simple, but every effective cydia tweak. This is just the first release of SiriToggles for the iPhone 4s, so expect to see many great enhancements to Siri from SiriToggles in the future!

Jailbreak: iOS 5 Jailbreak

lonman06 — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 19:21:25 +0000

Less than 24 hours after the iOS 5.0 beta was released to developers, news has come out that iOS 5.0 has successfully been jailbroken. At this time this is just a tethered jailbreak, meaning that each time your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad is rebooted it must be connected to the computer. For those of you considering this iOS 5.0 jailbreak read on for more info.

The key thing to remember here is that 5.0 is beta software and the 5.0 jailbreak from limera1n is released for developing purposes, so most of the current cydia apps will not work and may result in problems with your device. As of right now sbsettings and activator are known to have 5.0 compatibility problems.

For those of you who want to give this a go, you must be on a mac, click here for the download.

Please remember to back up your device before you attempt to jailbreak 5.0. Feel free to post any other cydia apps that are not compatible with the new tethered iOS 5.0 jailbreak. At this time the release date for a 5.0 untethered jailbreak is not known and will most likely not be released until the iOS 5.0 official release.

RecognizeMe: Facial Recognition Unlock in Cydia

lonman06 — Fri, 20 May 2011 16:08:42 +0000

RecognizeMe is a new cydia app that can be used to unlock your iPhone by facial recognition. It has just officially be released in the cydia app store. Is this app worth the hefty $7 price tag? Read on to find out.

Before I get into the app, here is a video showing you how the app works:

So as you can see, RecognizeMe use your iPhone’s front facing camera (no so iPhone 3GS) to detect your face and unlock your phone. This sounds great in principle, but does it really work? Unfortunately right now there is a lot to work out with this app. I had many problems with the facial recognition. Either it didn’t work at all or it unlocked with a face other than mine.

At $7, I do not RecognizeMe is a smart buy at this time, however the app does have potential and if the bugs can all be worked out I would be willing to recommend this app. Please continue to check back for updates to this post. I truly do hope that RecognizeMe from the cydia app store can become a useful and secure unlocking app.

Jailbreak: iPad 2 Jailbreak?

lonman06 — Fri, 20 May 2011 15:16:33 +0000

I know all of you who own the iPad 2 have been patiently (or not so) waiting to jailbreak it. I know the wait can be hard, but it looks like we are going to have to wait a few more weeks for it. Word is that p0sixninja on chronic dev team plans to release the iPad 2 jailbreak within the next couple of weeks.

This jailbreak will be similar to the last one that was released where you have to put your iPad in DFU mode to start jailbreaking, where blackra1n and spirit were both one click jailbreaks. This jailbreak will be compatible with iOS 4.3 and above.

In a bit of other iPad 2 jailbreak news, i0n1c, the guy behind iOS 4.3.3 / iOS 4.3.2 / iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak for all iOS devices except iPad 2, is working now independently on an iPad 2 jailbreak. i0n1c has mentioned via his Twitter that he will no longer give exploits for free.

Keep checking back for the latest updates and hopefully soon enough the iPad 2 jailbreak will be released for all of us!

Gba_bios.bin iPhone/iPod Touch Download

lonman06 — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:57:04 +0000

If you are looking for the gba-bios_bin download for your iPhone/iPod Touch then you have come to the right place. I frequently get emails from many visitors to this site asking how to get gba4iphone to play GBA ROMs. gpSPhone does not include the gba_bios.bin file which is the file that is needed to get the player to work. I have looked around and found a working download link for this file. Before you download this file, please remember to click the disclaimer tab in the above right.

The gba_bios.bin file is available for download by clicking here.

After downloading, put the file in this directory: /var/root/Media/ROMs/GBA. If you don’t want to use a computer to add the file you can download the dropbox app and then use iFile to manually move the file over to the required directory.

If you have any questions regarding adding the gba_bios.bin file for your iPhone/iPod touch please feel free to post them below.
