JailbreakME Opens a Security Hole? But can be Solved!

2010-08-02T17:50:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, JailbreakME was released to jailbreak all iOS devices including iPhone 4 Apple device, but some people asked "if comex could figure out to access our devices through a website! then why can't anyone get in there?" Well, that's true, it really opened a security hole and it allows for malicious access for your device.

Comex used an exploit involving PDF files in your device so it can install Cydia, but it can install any other files too! Well, our advice is not to open any sites, not to open any links on your Mobile Safari browsers. Just stay away from hackers.. Also, there's a method to fix The PDF Exploit after jailbreaking with JailbreakMe found it on BGR, you can try this steps on your own risk:
Step 1: Install OpenSSH if you don't have it
Step 2: Download this .deb file
Step 3: SSH into your iDevice.
Step 4: Navigate to var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall (If Cydia/AutoInstall isn’t already there, just create it)
Step 5: Drop the .deb file you downloaded into the AutoInstall folder.
Step 6: Reboot your iDevice 2 times.

Update 1: Now There's an automatic method to Install this .deb file from Cydia directly, check our post here.

Description in the Site:

What's a jailbreak? Why jailbreak?
A jailbreak is simply the ability to run apps and use themes and tweaks not approved by Apple. Jailbreaking doesn't slow down your device or use any extra battery, and is fully reversible (just restore in iTunes). A jailbreak lets your device be how you want it.

Is JailbreakMe reversible?
Of course! If you ever decide that you want to remove your jailbreak, just connect your device to your computer, sync, and then press Restore in iTunes.

Is this legal in the US?
Yes. A new DMCA excemption was approved by the Library of Congress, specifically allowing jailbreaking.

I actually gave comex the bootstrap he needed last night. so I am no longer the bottleneck. (The concept of “bottleneck” is very transient.)

It seems really close, may be it will be released today and Sunday be the FunDay? Absolutely they are running a group of tests on all devices to be sure it's safe and excellent to be released for public, so Stay tuned!

Warning:Jailbreak Fake List

2010-07-31T12:33:00.000-07:00

In the last few days we heard about many new FAKE jailbreak tools, but I think this is normal cause they came parallel with the real new iPhone 4 / 3GS Jailbreak, which will be released very soon, so I made this post as a register of the FAKE jailbreaks, this post will be always updated with these fakes.
1-Sedna Jailbreak:
A lot of people talked about it, but Chpwn sent a tweet saying that the Sedna jailbreak is completely FAKE.

Chpwn said:I don't know anything about "Sedna" except it is completely fake...

2-Shitra1n:
I think this is not an apropriated name of a tool, so Sherif Hashif (dev team member) sent a tweet saying this is completely FAKE.

Sherif_Hashim said: I can't believe that ppl are really asking about the credibility of something called -shitra1n-, come on, the name says it FAKE-FAKE-FAKE

Note: You should ensure the source of any tool before trying in your iDevice.

@GeorgeHotz is not the Real GeoHot

2010-07-31T10:30:00.000-07:00

We all (even me) thought that the new account on twitter @georgehotz is the real Geohot and we posted that he apologized to all people for his bad behavior. At first he started privately and once all knew that he apologized, he went public and got a lot of followers, Actually I was surprised when I saw this tweet from @gerogehotz

Someone mentioned @georgehotz hoping that he is the real Geohot, But he answered him,

Its not real its just for fun!

So, Now decide, Follow him for some fun but he is not real! he is a parody account!
Now let's wait for the real jailbreak from Comex.

First iPhone 4 Cydia App "SpringFlash"

2010-07-31T04:20:00.000-07:00

This days we are talking a lot about the upcoming jailbreak for iPhone 4 from comex, now BigBoss has created his first iPhone 4 Cydia app "SpringFlash", it's available now in Cydia but you should have a jailbroken iPhone 4!

Here's the blog post with title "First iPhone4 Only Cydia App":

Since the jailbreak is due very soon, I have created SpringFlash, the first iPhone 4 only Cydia app. SpringFlash is a springboard activator based LED flashlight for your iPhone 4. In short, you can have a touch of a button for a bright LED flashlight without hassling with unlocking your iPhone, closing your app, or even turning on your screen.

As shown in the quote above, the app is a springboard activator which gives you a bright LED flashlight without hassling with iPhone Unlock, Sure it's available for free on BigBoss repo whenever the jailbreak is available!
Stay Tuned, we will be covering this jailbreak tool from comex whenever it's released and available for download

2010-07-31T00:57:00.000-07:00

Good News to get the hopes up, in an all-star podcast interview with Comex, Planetbeing, Chpwn, and Saurik yesterday, Comex was asked "When is the iPhone 4 Jailbreak and Unlock is going to be released?", the answer was great "pretty close to done"

Question: When is the iPhone 4 Jailbreak and Unlock is going to be released?

Comex: You will have to ask Saurik if he’s done with that bootstrap yet. Like I hate to say this because people will be complaining, but it is pretty close to done.

PlanetBeing: Unlock is done. Just waiting for the jailbreak to be released.

Chpwn: The jailbreak definitely needs a lot of testing before it is released, to make sure it works on everybody’s phone, and that there are no issues like Spirit had where it deleted all of your photos in the first few days of the release.

[via Redmondpie]
So here's What to Do to get Ready for the Jailbreak!
First, Save SHSH of iOS 4.0.1 Using TinyUmbrella for iPhone 4 / 3GS / iPod Touch 3G and Using Cydia for iPhone 3G / iPod Touch 2G
Second, Backup your Data in Case the Jailbreak has some issues (Save photos, contacts and videos)
Third, Follow me on Twitter, Become a fan on Facebook or Subscribe via Mail / RSS to be the First who Jailbreak.

So not to ask me, This jailbreak will work on any iDevice in the world, This jailbreak will be able to jailbreak iPhone 4 / 3GS New and Old Bootroms / 3G - iPod Touch 3G / 2G MC and Non-MC Models on iOS 4.x, Also for iPad on iOS 3.2.1

How to: Speed Up iPhone 3G on iOS 4 with 5 Fixes

2010-07-30T13:04:00.000-07:00

I know that most of iPhone 3G users complain about the performance of the device after upgrading to iOS 4, Some users disabled Multitasking but still very slow, so here's a round up of fixes for slowness of iPhone 3G on iOS 4, check them below..

Perform a “hard reset”,
Hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously for roughly 15-20 seconds, until the screen powers off then an Apple logo appears, which signifies a reboot. Some users have (oddly enough) reported that performing two hard resets resolves the slowness issue.

Restore Again,
That what I think, restoring an iPhone may fix slowness but this time don't restore from backup. I knw it will will delete contacts and other data but may resolve this issue.

Give More Space,
You may leave 10% free space for your iPhone as iOS 4.x need a lot of space to perform faster.

Turn off Spotlight,
Already told you that Spotlight Search may solve this issue, follow the step by step guide posted here to turn of spotlight search.

Turn off MMS,
Touch on Settings > Messages > MMS messaging and change MMS Messaging to “Off,” then perform a hard reset as shown above.

After doing that all and performance still bad, Then go and ask Apple to fix this issue! Oh, got a tip to make iPhone 3G perform faster? Tell us by commenting below..

Geohot Apologizing

2010-07-30T01:08:00.000-07:00

Geohot the has just sent a tweet from few seconds, he apologized about his behavior and suddenly disappearance, as we know George Hotz is a big name in the jailbreak world he is the creator of the blakra1n and blacksn0w tools. See what he said after the break.

I understand most of you say you depend on my work, but reality is I made a lot of great tools and resources for others to continue. I apologize for my behavior the last few months but you must understand my life doea not revolve around just iphone. This was something I picked up for fun and now it has turned to much more than that. we have many great people on the scene now, please check them out. i don't plan on releasing anything soon. Thank you.

I think it is not logic to see one don't like fame, money, appreciation and respect from people, cause the jailbreakers look like Hollywood Stars in the internet community, I think that Geohot may continue but via his friend Mike Cohen.

Update 1: @GeorgeHotz is not the Real Geohot, more details posted here.
