How To: Jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 8 on iPhone 4/3GS, iPod Touch and iPad Using Redsnow

The following are instructions on How To Jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 8 on iPhone 4/3GS, iPod Touch and iPad using Redsn0w 0.98b7.

The complete guide after the break.

NOTE: If you’ve already updated and are facing problems like the recovery mode loop, visit this guide HERE to downgrade to a stable release.

Tools You’ll Need:

iOS5 Beta 8 Firmware File. Click Here.

Redsn0w 0.98b7. Click Here.

iOS 5 Beta 6 Firmware File.

Step One

Download the official IPSW (Depending on your device). Download and extract Redsn0w. For convenience, place all of them in a folder on the desktop.

Step Two

Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes. When the phone shows up in iTunes select it from the list of devices on the left.  Now hold down Shift and press the restore button. You can also choose to update but restore is recommended; it’s always better to get a fresh start.

Step Three

As soon as you press Shift+Restore, a window will pop up asking you to select the IPSW file to be used. Point it towards the Official 5.0 Beta 8 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.

Step Four

Once iTunes has successfully flashed your phone to the desired firmware, navigate to the Jailbreak folder on the desktop and launch Redsn0w.exe.

**Windows 7 users may need to run RedSn0w in Vista compatibility mode. You can do this by right clicking the executable and selecting Properties from the contextual menu

Once redsn0w opens, click the browse button.

Step Five

A windows will pop up asking you to select the Official IPSW file for your desired firmware. Point it towards the Official 5.0 Beta 6 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.

You will then be asked (if using a 3GS) if your device is a newer “fixed” model. If yours is, then press the Yes button, click the No button otherwise. If you aren’t sure then simply press the Yes button.

Step Six

Once the firmware has been successfully identified click Next. Redsn0w will then prepare the jailbreak data.

After the data has been prepared you will be shown a menu where you can select different jailbreak options. You may select specific options depending on your needs, but for now we will only select “Install Cydia”. Select that option and then hit next to continue.

Step Seven

Connect the iPhone to the PC and then proceed to switch it off. Once the phone is fully turned off click Next. Remember to hold the phone in your hand before you press next  as you will have to press various buttons on the phone to make it  enter DFU mode.

Step Eight

After pressing next, instructions to enter DFU mode will appear. To enter DFU mode, hold the power button for 3 seconds, then without letting go of the power button press the home button and power button together for 10 seconds after which let go of the power button and continue to hold the home button until your PC detects the phone. It may take several tries to get into DFU mode.

Once the phone has entered DFU mode, the process will begin. The phone will reboot.

When it’s completed it will show you this message. The phone will then reboot and the rest of the process will continue on your device.

Once your iPhone is done being jailbroken, you should see Cydia on your SpringBoard. This means the jailbreak has been carried out successfully. Congratulations on jailbreaking your iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS tethered on the iOS 5 beta 8 firmware.

NOTE: How to boot tethered jailbroken iPhone 4/iPhone 3GS after reboot, launch RedSn0w and select “Just boot tethered right now”.

How To: Check And Monitor Your Internet Bandwidth On Windows 7 Without Installing Any Software

Here is a simple and easy way to monitor your internet bandwidth. I recently got this idea after the bandwidth cap that PTCL implemented on their DSL connections. Even though it is still unconfirmed but still people have no way of monitoring their bandwidth usage. Read on to find out how to do it.


1. Download Network Meter from here or here
2. Extract it if you have downloaded the .zip version.
3. Run the .gadget file that you get after extracting, a security warning dialog box will pop up asking for confirmation. Click on “Install” to proceed.
4. Right click on your desktop and then click on Gadgets, enable Network Meter by double clicking on it.
5. In the Windows gadget sidebar, check the Network Meter gadget and go to its properties by clicking on the wrench icon below the X button.
6. In the properties, click on the “Network Interface for Speed” and select your device.

7. You now have successfully installed Network Meter, it will automatically detect if you are using a wireless or wired network connection.

Using this gadget, not only you can monitor your bandwidth, you can also check your download and upload speed. The best thing about it is that it doesn’t require anything extra and all you need is Windows 7 for it to work. It will keep track of the current bandwidth(Data used until the PC is shutdown or restarted) as well as the total bandwidth(Combined data).

Editorial: iOS 4.3.5 Untethered Jailbreak Won’t Be Possible On iPhone, iPod Touch And iPad

As most Apple users may know by now Apple unexpectedly released iOS 4.3.5 a few days ago which was Jailbreaked a few hours later, you can check out the guide here. So we have some good news that it CAN be Jailbroken but that jailbreak is unfortunately tethered and we don’t think that an untethered jailbreak is gonna come out anytime soon.

iOS 4.3.5 was released 10 days after iOS 4.3.4 which patched the PDF vulnerability in Safari which allowed users to use Jailbreak.me to Jailbreak their devices. It was all in vain though since Comex released PDF Patcher 2 which retailed both the venerability and the Jailbreak, Apple knowing this still went through with iOS 4.3.4.

So that is the only reason iOS 4.3.5 was a very unexpected release since we expected major changes to come forth in iOS 5 which has already hit it’s 4th BETA. So what does iOS 4.3.5 brings forth you ask? According to Apple it has something to do with fixing “certificate validation” which could lead to a major security risk is left as it is.

So basically iOS 4.3.5 is gonna be obsolete in just a few weeks and creating an untethered Jailbreak is very hard and the iPhone Dev Team and other Jailbreakers will want to focus more on iOS 5. We might be able to expect an iPad 2 tethered Jailbreak in the future but as far as untethered Jailbreaks are concerned their chances are very low.

Review: Internet Download Manager 6

TechDeville is pretty down to earth when it comes to exploring and revealing good software for the new generation to use. Download managers have been in the market since the early Internet Explorer glory days, when there was no such thing as a fox eating the earth, when people got too fed up of the slow and below-par downloading speeds they were getting out of their default downloader. People today look for bundles, all-in-one software packages that could do all,if not, most of their work for them. Internet Download Manager is without a doubt the very best downloading client out there.

Ever since it’s launch seven years ago, Internet Download Manager (also known as IDM) has gained a tremendous amount of success when it comes to the best and simplest download managing programs. It doesn’t have all the RAM eating spoofs all the mainstream managers carry with them, Download Accelerator was one of my favorites during the olden days but it managed to slow my PC down if I used two or more downloads at a time. IDM doesn’t scare its users with a steep learning curve, it’s pretty easy to understand at a glance. It is currently at it’s sixth milestone, version 6 brings a lot of new and exciting features to the table.

INTERFACE

The user interface of IDM is probably the simplest out there. It doesn’t have any nasty gimmicks or pop-ups along the way. A simple tip screen shows up which you can turn off. The rest is smooth sailing. IDM automatically creates folders for the data we are downloading. It sorts them accordingly. This makes it easier to search for our downloaded data. If we download any video it will be automatically downloaded to the video folder. We can manually specify our own directory as well.

CROSS-BROWSER COMPATIBILITY

Since the increasing number of the users rely on Firefox for their browsing needs, IDM has an integration system for the latest Firefox builds. Not just Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, even our old but forgotten friend Internet Explorer can be have IDM integrated in it for faster media accessibility and downloading.

Automatic Media Detection

The usage of browser integration truly reveals itself whenever you visit a site that has any (and I mean ANY) sort of media file in it, be it a video file streaming live on Youtube or a song playing in the background. IDM sniffs out the media available on the page for its users with ease. Save videos from Youtube, Vimeo and other big video sharing sites in a wide variety of formats including .FLV, .MOV and .MP4. The type of format that is downloaded depends on the video which is being played, if we are playing a regular 360p or 480p video from Youtube, they are usually in .FLV format. 720p and 1080p videos are mostly in .MP4 or .MOV format.

GRABBER

IDM is not only limited to these features. It also has a slightly unknown but very helpful feature called IDM Site Grabber. This allows us to download audio files, video files, pictures and even whole websites with scripts. We can choose any site and then simply select what we want to to download from it.

It gives a wide variety of options from downloading only a specific page to all the sub-domains of the website. It will then automatically search the whole site and then will individually analysis each page according to our given requirements. If we have selected to download pictures from any page then it will give us a choice of all the pictures from that page. We can select any one that we want and download it. This is a pretty handy feature, if you want to download and save a lot of pictures or other content at once.

FINAL VERDICT

Internet Download Manager, with its plethora of awesome features, deserves to be the best downloading client in the market today. The final version is not that expensive, for around a one-time fee of $29 you could buy a license to use the program with. The trial version could be downloaded to experience the list of amazing features we’ve listed above. We recommend everyone to use this program as it enable the fastest downloading and the easiest interfaces.

New iPhone Models Coming In October According To Al Gore, Member Of The Apple Board Of Directors

Nobel Peace Prize winner and former vice president of the USA Al Gore has claimed that the new iPhones will be coming in October. He stated that “the new iPhones would be out next month” and by iPhones he probably meant the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S.

The iPhone 5 is rumored to be the true next generation iPhone and according to various reports will have a bigger screen, Apple’s A6 dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera with 1080p recording along with a HD Facetime front camera. The iPhone 5 will also feature a new metallic unibody design which is said to be lighter and thinner than the Samsung Galaxy S II.

The iPhone 4S on the other hand is suppose to be the new budget iPhone and will be priced very aggressively so that everyone can get their hands on an iPhone. The iPhone 4S will look much like the iPhone 4 but with far less on-board memory and will run seamlessly with Apple’s iCloud service. The iPhone 4S is also rumored to be available with both post-paid and pre-paid plans which would make it the first iPhone ever to do that. Both the iPhone 5 and 4S will be running iOS 5 out of the box.

We’ve all got ours eyes set on October 4th, we’ll just have to wait and see what that date brings.
