  • Apple Rumored To Use Curved Glass For The iPhone 5 | iPhone 4S

    Another iPhone rumor for you folks, looks like Apple might be planning to use curved glass in the iPhone 5/4S similar to the one used in the Samsung Nexus S and Dell Venue Pro. 

    Apple has reportedly purchase more than 200 glass cutting machines since the direct purchase of curved glass would highly increase capital costs. The machines are currently stored in Apple assembly plants and will be moved as soon the yeild for curved glass rises. Apple is currently in talks with suppliers regarding cover glass, glass cutting, lamination and touch sensors to improve yields.

    The complete guide after the break

    Tools you’ll need:

    The latest iTunes.

    iPhone 3GS iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here.

    iPhone 4 iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here.

    iPad iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here

    iPod Touch 3G iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here.

    Step One

    Download the respective firmware file for your iDevice and place it on the desktop.

    Run TinyUmbrella and click on the “Start TSS Server” Button.

    NOTE – If you are downgrading to 4.3.5, skip the above step.

    Connect you iDevice to your PC and place it into DFU mode. To place your device into DFU mode:

    1.  Turn your device off.

    2. Hold the power button for Three seconds

    3. Without letting go of the power button,  press the home button. Keep them pressed for 10 seconds.

    4. Let go of the power button and hold the home button until your PC detects the phone. It takes upto 30 seconds.

    It may take several tries to get your phone into DFU mode.

    Step Two

    Open up iTunes. If you get the following message, then it means that you’ve successfully placed your device into DFU mode.

    On the iPhone menu in iTunes, hold shift and press the restore button.

    iTunes will now ask you to locate the IPSW file. Point it towards the firmware file which you downloaded and placed on the desktop.

    iTunes will then restore your iPhone with the  firmware. This process will take about ten minutes and iTunes will notify you once the process is complete. The phone will then restart.

    Step Three

    After the restore,  if you encounter an error like 1011, 1013, 1015 ; just ignore them (the firmware has actually been successfully installed). You just have to kick your phone out of recovery mode. To do this open up recboot-which you downloaded above. Once it loads up, press the exit recovery button and it will kick your phone out of recovery mode. The phone will then reboot and you will be booted into iOS 4.3.3.

    Update: If you are getting this error

  • iPhone Dev-Team Releases iOS 5.0b1 Jailbreak for Developers

    The iPhone Dev-team has released a new version of Redsnow – 0.9.8b1 – that developers can use to jailbreak iOS 5b1. This utilizes the limera1n bootrom exploit by geohot, which Apple can patch only by releasing new hardware.

    The following devices are supported:
    ● iPod touch 3G
    ● iPod touch 4G
    ● iPad 1
    ● iPhone3GS
    ● iPhone4 (GSM)
    ● iPhone4 (CDMA)


    UNLOCKERS AND THOSE PRESERVING THEIR UNLOCKABLE BASEBANDS SHOULD STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS! You will very likely lose your unlockable baseband if you try to install iOS 5.

    THIS JAILBREAK IS INTENDED ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS OF JAILBROKEN APPS! There are just too many broken components (Apple’s official apps, 3rd-party App Store apps, Cydia apps, MobileSubstrate apps, etc) for this to be useful to anyone but those truly looking to fix bugs in their iOS 5 jailbroken apps. (Seriously!)

    THIS REDSN0W WILL NOT HACTIVATE 5.0b1! You need to be an iOS developer with a registered UDID to get past all the new activation screens. PLEASE DON’T PIRATE APPLE SOFTWARE! Only registered devs with Macs can develop iOS applications, and only those people will have legitimate access to the beta IPSWs.

    THIS IS A TETHERED JAILBREAK ONLY! No new exploits are being exposed with this jailbreak (it uses geohot’s limera1n bootrom exploit), but that comes at a cost. You will need to use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered now” to be able to use many things, including Cydia and Safari. If you see a white icon for Cydia, or if Cydia or Safari crash when you open them, it’s because you didn’t boot tethered.

    IF YOU HAVE THE 06.15 BASEBAND ON YOUR 3GS…this redsn0w will get you past the iTunes restore error you’ll get when using the stock IPSW (nobody other than those with the 06.15 baseband should be going anywhere near the stock IPSW!).

    The iPhone Dev-Team notes that this version of RedSn0w will likely work to jailbreak future iOS 5 betas by pointing to the 5.0b1 ipsw.
