Absinthe 2.0.4 and Rocky Racoon 1.0-3 released for iPad2,4 support

JaeM1llz — Wed, 30 May 2012 14:28:44 +0000

A late model iPad2 Wi-Fi (iPad2,4) has been the only A5 device that was not yet supported by the recent untethered jailbreak exploit, Rocky Racooon. Early this morning, the Chronic-Dev Team released updates to Absinthe and Rocky Racoon so that iPad2,4 users can now finally join the jailbreak crowd. All 5.1.1 jailbreakers will notice an update to Rocky Racoon in Cydia, you can freely update but do not uninstall Rocky Racoon as it is necessary for the jailbreak.

Unlock with Ultrasn0w on 5.1.1 with Ultrasn0w 5.1.1 Fixer (DEB)

JaeM1llz — Tue, 29 May 2012 21:44:36 +0000

For our readers who have updated to 5.1.1 using Sn0wbreeze 2.9.5, you may have noticed that even with a compatible baseband, Ultrasn0w does not work on 5.1.1. Until the iPhone-Dev Team releases an update to Ultrasn0w, you will have to install the Ultrasn0w 5.1.1 Fixer in order to get the unlock working. For your convenience, we have bundled the latest Ultrasn0w, MobileSubstrate and the Ultrasn0w 5.1.1 fixer into a single download.

The easiest way to install these deb files is to simply transfer the files to any folder on your phone using iFunBox, iExplorer or SSH and then installing the deb files using iFile on the device itself. Remember that this will only work for those who have preserved their Ultrasn0w compatible basebands(04.26.08 - 05.11.07 - 05.12.01 - 05.13.04 - 01.59.00).

Step 1: Download the Ultrasn0w 5.1.1 Fixer pack

Step 2: Transfer all 3 included deb files to any folder on your device(make it something easy to remember like var/mobile/Documents).

Step 3: On the device, open iFile and navigate to the folder where you copied the deb files to.

Step 4: Install each of the deb files in this order: MobileSubstrate, Ultrasn0w, Ultrasn0w Fixer

Step 5: Reboot your device and you should now be unlocked!

Signal Booster is a quick one-touch solution to optimize your iPhone signal

JaeM1llz — Tue, 29 May 2012 00:36:30 +0000

A new app made it's way to the Cydia store this week. Signal Booster is a one-touch app that will allow you to optimize your devices cellular signal by resetting the connection. The caveat is that the app costs $0.99 and all it does is toggle Airplane Mode on and off for you automatically. That being said, Signal Booster is a bit faster than the manual method, so if you have $0.99 to spare, you might be interested in this app.

Fix Camera and Photo app Winterboard icons in iOS 5.1.1

JaeM1llz — Tue, 29 May 2012 00:00:25 +0000

Those who have updated to iOS 5.1.1 since the untethered Ricky Racoon exploit was unveiled via Absinthe 2.0 on Friday may have noticed that the Camera and Photos apps icons do not change when applying a Winterboard theme. This issue is a common issue with new firmware releases since Apple frequently changes the icon names between firmware builds.

If you want to use your current theme but it has not yet been updated to support iOS 5.1.1, there is a really easy fix to get your icons back. I will be teaching you how to fix the icons by using iFile, but this will work with any method or application that gives you access to the theme files(iFunBox, SSH, iExplorer, etc).

Ok the first thing you need to do is navigate to your theme folder. Themes are located in var/stash/Themes. I am using the Elite Pro HD theme in this demonstration. Once you have navigated to the theme's folder, open the folder called "Bundles." In this folder is a bunch of subfolders which contain the GUI elements for any apps that your theme has a skin for.

Fix iOS 5.1.1 Camera app Winterboard Icon

Navigate to the folder com.apple.camera in your theme's "Bundles" folder. The Camera icon should be named something like "icon@2x.png" all you need to do is rename that file to "Camera@2x~iphone.png" as seen below. After you have changed the filename, all you need to do is respring and the icon should be themed once again.

Fix iOS 5.1.1 Photos app Winterboard Icon

Navigate to the folder com.apple.mobileslideshow in your theme's "Bundles" folder. The Photos icon should be named something like "icon@2x.png" all you need to do is rename that file to "Photos@2x~iphone.png" as seen below. After you have changed the filename, all you need to do is respring and the icon should be themed once again.

Sn0wbreeze 2.9.5 and Absinthe 2.0.2 released for iPhone4 iOS 5.1.1 build 9B208

JaeM1llz — Mon, 28 May 2012 17:57:14 +0000

Recently Apple released a new build for the iPhone4 iOS 5.1.1 firmware. Since the new build was released after the 5.1.1 untethered jailbreaking tools, none of them had been released with support for this build initially. The Sn0wbreeze 2.9.5 release also fixes an issue with Location Services for iPhone 3Gs users that are using the iPad baseband.

If you're already jailbroken, you don't need to worry about these new releases(unless of course you are one of the aforementioned 3Gs iPad baseband users). If you are an iPhone4 user and you have recently restored your device, chances are you are running the 9B208 build of the firmware so you will have to use one of these new tools to jailbreak your device.

Sn0wbreeze 2.9.4 released to create prejailbroken iOS 5.1.1 firmware for unlockers

JaeM1llz — Sat, 26 May 2012 03:09:53 +0000

@ih8sn0w has updated his popular custom firmware creation tool Sn0wbreeze. Sn0wbreeze 2.9.4 adds support for the creation of custom(pre-jailbroken) firmware that you can restore which will preserve the baseband of your iPhone. This tool is essential for software/hardware unlockers who need to maintain a specific baseband in order to be able to unlock their device. While creating your custom 5.1.1 firmware you have a few different options. One option is to create a pre-jailbroken firmware, this means that once you restore the custom firmware you will already be jailbroken and there will be no need to run Absinthe or another jailbreak tool. If you want to update to 5.1.1 without updating your baseband and without jailbreaking there is also a "Baseband Preservation Only" mode which will only remove the baseband update from the firmware.

Unfortunately Sn0wbreeze is a Windows only tool, but once Redsn0w is updated to include custom firmware creation for 5.1.1, Mac users will be able to update while preserving baseband as well. Also, Sn0wbreeze works on the limera1n bootrom exploit which only exists on A4 and lower devices. That means that this will not work for any A5(X) devices including the iPhone4S, iPad2 and iPad3.

Meet the iOS Jailbreak Dream Team, the Hackers Behind Absinthe

thescragster — Fri, 25 May 2012 21:59:31 +0000

pod2g, p0sixninja, planetbeing, pimskeks. If you’re into jailbreaking, you’ve likely heard or seen these names before, but do you know who’s hiding behind these Twitter handles?

Thanks to JailbreakCon’s Craig Fox, we get to see what the guys who brought us the Absinthe untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 look like. It's great after following the hackers for so long to be able to put a face to the name. From left to right, we have pimskeks, planetbeing, pod2g, and p0sixninja (who’s looking very sad on this picture).

Rocky Racoon 1.0-1 deb for manual installation

JaeM1llz — Fri, 25 May 2012 20:42:28 +0000

A few of our users have been having trouble downloading the Rocky Racoon 1.0-1 package from Cydia. You should be able to see the package by simply loading Cydia and refreshing changes since the package is on a default repo. However, if you are having problems seeing the package, you can download the deb file below for manual installation. If you have iFile, all you need to do is transfer the deb to any folder on your device(make it something easy to remember like var/mobile/Documents). Then in iFile open the deb with "Installer."

DOWNLOAD:
Rocky Racoon 1.0-1 - DEB

Once you have installed the deb just reboot the device and you're good to go!
