  • How To: Update To iOS 4.3 Using iTunes

    Updating your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or even your Apple TV using iTunes to the latest iOS is a very simple process, just follow the steps listed after the break.

    Step 1:  Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable.

    Step 2: iTunes will automatically detect your device and open up, if it doesn’t open it up yourself.

    Step 3: After your device is detected it will prompt for an update, if it doesn’t click the device’s name in the left hand menu and select ”Check for Update”. Make sure your computer is connected to the internet.

    Step 4: iTunes will then open a popup saying that an update for your device is available, proceed clicking the “Download and Update” button.

    Step 5: The download will depend on your Internet speed so don’t worry if it takes a while, make sure you don’t disconnect your device during the process.

    That’s it guys, after iTunes is done updating which should take around 30 minutes in total, it will then re-sync your device with your iTunes library and be able for your use again.

  • The Magical Gevey SIM Works Even With iOS 5

    The Gevey SIM is sort of a hardware hack for the iPhone 4 which allows it to be used with any carrier in world, it supports quite a few basebands as well. The SIM is basically a SIM holder quite thinner than a normal SIM, you have to insert the SIM you want to use into the Gevey SIM and insert it into your iPhone 4.

    The hack is now suppose to work on Apple’s latest platform for mobile devices: iOS 5.

  • 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.
