  • Microsoft Surface for Windows 8 RT and Windows 8 Pro differences

    You’ve already read about the launch event and an overview of what Microsoft showed the world. Dig a little deep and you’ll find out Microsoft in fact launched two different Surface tablets. One that runs Windows 8 RT and the other one running Windows 8 Pro. The differences are not only in the Windows version but go all the way to the internal as well as the external hardware.

    Surface for Windows RT tablet

    • Processor: NVIDIA Tegra-based ARM chip
    • Weight: 676 grams
    • Thickness: 9.3 millimeters
    • Display: 10.6-inch ClearType HD capactive touchpanel
    • Battery: 31.5Wh
    • I/O: microSD, USB 2.0, Micro HD Video, 2×2 MIMO antennae
    • Software: Windows RT + Office Home & Student 2013 RT
    • Accessories: Touch Cover, Type Cover, VaporMg Case & Stand
    • Capacity: 32GB / 64GB
    • Availability: “Around” the Windows 8 launch (fall 2012)
    • Pricing: To be determined

     Surface for Windows 8 Pro tablet

    • Processor: Intel Core i5 (Ivy Bridge)
    • Weight: 903 grams
    • Thickness: 13.5 millimeters
    • Display: 10.6-inch ClearType Full HD (1080p) capactive touchpanel
    • Battery: 42Wh
    • I/O: microSDXC, USB 3.0, Mini DisplayPort, 2×2 MIMO antennae
    • Software: Windows 8 Pro
    • Accessories: Touch Cover, Type Cover, VaporMg Case & Stand, Pen with Palm Block
    • Capacity: 64GB / 128GB
    • Availability: ”Three months after” the Windows 8 launch this fall
    • Pricing: To be determined

    The differences become a lot clearer when you go through the comparison above. Surface for Windows 8 RT is aimed squarely at Android tablets as well as the iPad from Apple. It’s a pure tablet experience since RT is limited to only the Metro interface of Windows 8. That means you won’t get the desktop part here. Naturally it will only be running Metro apps only. Since the internal hardware is essentially all smartphone like, Microsoft managed to keep the tablet thin and light. The battery is smaller too since the Tegra 3 SOC isn’t nearly as power hungry as the Core i5 from Intel. Microsoft has not officially gone on record regarding screen resolution but it’s rumored to be of the 1366×768 variant, which is a shame and will eventually come to haunt this tablet when it goes head to head with the 1080p panels of Android tablets and the insane Retina Display of the new iPad.

    Surface for Windows 8 Pro is more like a full desktop experience in a 10.6 form factor. Like they did on Windows 8 RT, Microsoft has gone all out on specs for this particular variant. You get a full 1920×1080 panel which results in PPI of a little over 200. Not quite the same as the new iPad but a heck of a lot better than the rudimentary 1280×720 panels we see. The CPU is also a desktop grade Core i5. To keep all this power in check sacrifices had to be made regarding dimensions and weight. The tablet measures 13.5mm in thickness and 903 grams in weight. That is substantial and quite a bit bulkier than your average tablet. But then again your average tablet does not run a Core i5. Battery is also beefed up to 42Wh. Unlike RT, you get a full version of Windows 8 here which includes the old desktop interface behind the Metro UI. Also supported is pen input. Where the RT version will go head to head with the iPad and Android tablets, the Pro version is a bit of a niche product. On paper it’s suppose to be a MacBook Air competitor but it looks and performs nothing like it. Such is the beauty of Windows 8. And if Microsoft can capitalize on this, they can surely give the competition a very tough time.

  • Unknown iPad model with A6 SoC shows up in logs

    With the iPad Mini hogging all news lately, it’s easy to forget Apple already has a tablet in their portfolio, the new iPad or iPad 3. Released during the WWDC time earlier this year, the new iPad is one of the best tablets money can buy. Usually Apple refreshes their product cycle every 12 month, but these leaks of a different iPad model with A6 SoC shows a refresh might be on its way sooner than expected.

    The current models of iPad 3 are  ”iPad3,1,” “iPad3,2″ and “iPad3,3″ depending on its iteration. This new iPad model with A6 SoC however has a model name “iPad 3.6″. This model was discovered by an app developer in his app analytics log and shows it running an ARMv 7 processor which is the same architecture as the A6 SoC. We heard rumours of a product refresh by Apple later this year to update them to the new lightning connector, but with this unknown iPad model with A6 SoC it seems as if a much bigger update is in progress.

    Do note that the A6 has a triple core GPU where as the A5X in iPad 3 has a quad core GPU, so for all intents and purposes it could be a tweaked A6 or something else entirely. Or maybe this unknown iPad model with A6 SoC is the rumoured iPad mini?

  • iPhone 5 Mockup Based on Alleged Spy Shot

    With the iPhone 5 release just around the corner,  the iPhone rumor mill is in full swing these days, just a few days ago an alleged photo of the iPhone 5 was released into the wild, which looked something like an iPhone 4 slim rather than the iPhone 5. The image was discredited, however here is a mockup based on that image.

  • Wondering What’s New In iOS 5 BETA 5? Read The Full Changelog Here

    Apple released iOS 5 BETA 5 on their developer channel almost an hour ago and we’ve gotten our hands on the full changelog, check it out after the break.

    Accounts

    • When creating an iCloud account, you can use any Apple ID as long as it is a full email address and not a MobileMe account. If you have a MobileMe account, you can move that account to iCloud. You can find more information on iCloud at: http://developer.apple.com/icloud
    • When setting up an iCloud or MobileMe account using the setup assistant and leaving Find My iPhone on, it might actually turn Find my iPhone off after the setup. Please verify in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar/YourAccount that Find my iPhone is toggled On after leaving the setup assistant.
    • NEW: Enabling iCloud services in Setup Assistant may not always be saved correctly. After completing Setup Assistant you should visit Settings > iCloud to verify the state of the iCloud account. If you have multiple iCloud or MobileMe accounts configured on the device you should also visit each of those accounts in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar to verify each account.
    • It is recommended that you disable Bookmarks on multiple accounts. If they are enabled, the results might be undefined.

    AirPlay

    • Starting in iOS 5, video content in applications and websites are AirPlay-enabled by default.
    • iOS 5 supports AirPlay of video via AV Foundation.

    Apple TV

    • Apple TV Software beta enables users to mirror the contents of an iPad 2 to an Apple TV (2nd generation) using AirPlay. This beta software also enables Photo Stream on Apple TV so users can access photos stored in iCloud. Apple TV Software beta is being provided to test the latest AirPlay functionality with your iOS 5 apps and web sites. If you wish to install Apple TV Software beta on your device, you must first register your device UDID in the iOS Developer Program Portal.

    Calendar

    • Birthday calendars are not currently available via the icloud.com website or in Windows. They will be available in a future release.
    • NEW: The default calendar is still the On My iPhone calendar despite setting up an iCloud account during Setup Assistant. As a workaround, reset the default Calendar after finishing Setup Assistant in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Default Calendar.
    • NEW: Pushing iCloud Calendar data is not working in iOS. To sync your iCloud Calendar, launch the Calendar app or refresh the calendars manually using the Calendars button in the top left corner.

    GameKit

    • Match data for turn based matches is currently limited to 4 KB of data.
    • NEW: When logging in to Game Center, the password may clear and login may not complete. Trying a second time will succeed.
    • NEW: In this beta, GameKit Invites may fail. As a workaround, try restarting the device.

    iBooks

    • iBooks 1.2.2 may fail to display some text or images in books. Please update to iBooks 1.3 in the App Store.

    iCloud Backup

    • As this is beta software, it is recommended that you do not use the iCloud services to store any critical data or information. If you enable iCloud Backup, automatic backup with iTunes when syncing will be disabled. We also suggest that you manually back up your device with iTunes. Backups made with earlier versions of iOS 5 beta will soon become incompatible, and will no longer be available. It is strongly advised you upgrade to this version of the iOS 5 beta in order to continue backing up your devices. If you encounter errors restoring from a backup, or enabling a backup more than one hour after signing into iCloud, try deleting your iCloud account from Settings and adding it back. If errors persist, please try erasing your device and initiating the restore again.

    iCloud Storage

    • During the iOS 5 beta period, any documents stored on the servers might be purged periodically before GM. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you do not store any critical documents or information on the servers.
    • NEW: Provisioning Profiles no longer need to be enabled for iCloud in the iOS Provisioning Portal. All newly generated provisioning profiles are now automatically enabled for iCloud. If you are using an Xcode managed Team Provisioning Profile, click refresh in the Xcode Organizer to obtain a new iCloud-enabled profile. To enable all other provisioning profiles for iCloud, simply regenerate your profiles in the iOS Provisioning Portal.
    • If your application is using the NSMetadataQuery class, you must set a predicate, even though the predicate itself is ignored.
    • In this beta, the setSortDescriptors: method of NSMetadataQuery is not supported.
    • FIXED: To use iCloud prior to beta 5, you had to manually specify various container identifiers (your application’s Display set) within an Entitlements file for both of your Mac OS X and iOS projects.Starting in beta 5, to enable iCloud storage within your apps, simply click the “Enable Entitlements” checkbox in the Summary pane of your project. Xcode will create a custom entitlements file for your project that automatically includes your Team ID. You can add additional iCloud Container values as required by your application. (Note that you must regenerate your existing provisioning profiles, either with Xcode or in the iOS Provisioning Portal, to use iCloud storage.)If you specify a custom identifier string for your iCloud Key-Value Store or iCloud Container entitlement values, you no longer need to prepend your Team ID to the beginning of the string. Xcode will prepend your Team ID to these entries automatically
    • The container identifier string you pass to the URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: method of NSFileManager MUST include the team ID at the beginning of the string. As a convenience, if you pass nil, Foundation uses the first document container ID specified in your app’s entitlements.
    • There are issues using the Cloud Storage document API in conjunction with protected data which can lead to data corruption.
    • FIXED: In this beta, document-based applications cannot always detect when files change, move, or are deleted out from underneath them.
    • In this beta, file presenters (objects that adopt the NSFilePresenter protocol) do not receive some of the messages that they’re supposed to receive, especially:
      • presentedItemDidChange
      • presentedSubitemDidAppearAtURL:
      • presentedSubitemDidChangeAtURL:
      You can workaround this by implementing the relinquishPresentedItemToWriter: method and checking to see if the writer actually wrote when your file presenter reacquires. You can also use FSEvents to observe file system changes
    • In this beta, messages about changes to files in a directory are not getting delivered to objects that adopt the NSFilePresenter protocol.
    • While reporting a bug related to the iCloud storage interfaces, please include the logs collected during your debugging session. To generate these logs, you must install a special debug profile on your device.The debug profile can be obtained from http://connect.apple.com. This profile enables the generation of debug logs that are needed to diagnose any problems using iCloud storage. The instructions to collect the logs are:
      1. Install the profile. (The easiest way to do this is to mail it to yourself and open the attachment on their device.)
      2. Reproduce the bug.
      3. Sync with iTunes to pull the logs off your device.
      4. Attach the logs to your bug report. You can find the logs in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/DeviceName/DiagnosticLogs.
      These logs can grow large very quickly, so you should remove the profile after you have reproduced the problem and pulled the logs for the bug report.
    • NEW: File names are case-insensitive in OS X but case-sensitive in iOS. This can lead to problems when syncing files between the two. You should take steps on iOS to avoid creating files whose names differ only by case.

    iMessage

    • iMessage beta 1 will be unable to communicate with iMessage users on beta 2 or later.

    iPod

    • NEW: When using the volume buttons on the device, or on headphones, the volume slider in the UI of applications may not update even though the volume level has changed.

    iTunes

    • The version of iTunes that comes with beta 5 cannot sync devices that have the beta 4 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
      1. Sync any devices that have beta 4 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 4.
      2. Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 5.
      3. Connect the device and install the beta 5 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
      4. After installing the beta 5 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.
    • Videos purchased from the iTunes Store do not play on a 2nd generation AppleTV over AirPlay with iTunes 10.5.

    Location

    • FIXED: The startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges method of CLLocationManagerdoes not cause applications to be resumed or launched in the background for significant location change updates. However, if a backup from a previous software version (where an application was monitoring significant location changes) is restored to the device, significant location change monitoring will continue to cause that application to be resumed or launched in the background.

    Mail

    • FIXED: Forwarding a message with attachments included does not attach the file and the message compose screen does not change from “Loading….”
    • NEW: When changing the host name of an email account in settings, blank messages may be seen in the unified inbox. As a workaround, delete and re-add the account instead of changing its host name.

    Music Library

    • FIXED: Some songs are missing their album artwork after changing the device library via syncing.

    OpenGL ES

    • FIXED: In iOS 5.0 beta 4, several OpenGL ES extensions have been moved from the APPLE namespace to the EXT namespace, causing some API to be renamed. The altered extensions are EXT_color_buffer_half_float,EXT_occlusion_query_boolean, EXT_separate_shader_objects, EXT_shadow_samplers, EXT_texture_rg, EXT_debug_label, and EXT_debug_marker.

    OTA Software Update

    • If you are doing an OTA software update, you will need to re-sync your photos with iTunes.”

    Personal HotSpot

    • FIXED: In this beta, iPhone 4 device cannot join personal hotspot even if it is on due to a non functional Wi-Fi tethering on these devices.

    Photos

    • FIXED: If you apply red-eye adjustments in iOS, and import your image into the iPhoto seed build, the red-eye adjustments will not appear on that image in iPhoto. As a result, subsequent syncing of your image back to the iOS device from iPhoto will not show the red-eye adjustments.
    • NEW: When restoring photo libraries from an iTunes backup, some photos may not appear in the Photos application after restore. Please back up your photos before updating to iOS Beta 5.

    Simulator

    • Location services are not functional in iOS 4.3 simulator running on Mac OS 10.7 with Xcode 4.2.

    Springboard

    • Push and local notifications for apps appear in the new Notification Center in iOS 5. Notification Center displays notifications that are considered “unread.” In order to accommodate push and local notifications that have no “unread” status, developers can use their application badge count to trigger a clearing of notifications from Notification Center. When an application clears its badge count (by setting it to zero), iOS 5 will clear its notifications from Notification Center.
    • FIXED: iOS 5.0 terminates VoIP applications that are resumed in the background for incoming network traffic with extreme frequency. Developers are encouraged to make sure all incoming data is read from VoIP sockets to avoid this condition.
    • NEW: The UIPrerenderedIcon key (in the Info.plist file) is not honored in this build.

    StoreKit

    • NEW: In-App purchase will not work for developers testing their apps with the iTunes Sandbox.

    Twitter

    • FIXED: When tweeting your location from Safari and exiting before the location can be established, the location arrow will stay in the status bar. The arrow can be removed by killing Safari from the task switcher.

    UI Automation

    • FIXED: Instruments overwrites the loaded automation script, even if another program is editing it.
    • FIXED: The play and record buttons in the Automation instrument script editor may not work properly after targeting an application that was launched by a trace session and has ended. They may also not work if you target an application that was suspended. If you run into this problem and it persists, you may need to close and reopen the trace document to get back into a functional state.
    • FIXED: When capturing actions into a script using the Automation instrument, interfaces with web views or table cells that contain a high number of off screen elements may take an extremely long time before returning with an expression.
    • The lock() and unlock() functions of UIATarget have been replaced with the lockForDuration(<seconds>) function.
    • Starting in iOS 5 beta 2, you can now trigger the execution of an UI Automation script on an iOS device from the host terminal by using the instruments tool. The command is:
      • instruments -w <device id> -t <template> <application>
    • When using the cli instruments for UI Automation you can now target the default Automation Template and pass the script and results path into the tool as environment variable options. For example:
      • instruments -w <device id> -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate <application> -e UIASCRIPT <script> -e UIARESULTSPATH <results path>

    UIKit

    • Starting in iOS 5 beta 3, the exclusiveTouch property of UIControl has returned to its original default value of NO.
    • Returning nil from the tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: method (or its footer equivalent) is no longer sufficient to hide a header. You must override tableView:heightForHeaderInSection:and return0.0 to hide a header.
    • In the iOS 5 beta, the UITableView class has two methods to move one cell from one row to another with defined parameters. These APIs are:
      • moveSection:toSection:
      • moveRowAtIndexPath:toIndexPath:
    • Using the UIWebView class in Interface Builder, setting transparent background color is possible in iOS 5. Developers compiling against the new SDK can check their XIB for the UIWebView transparent setting.
    • In the iOS 5 beta, the UINavigationBar, UIToolbar, and UITabBar implementations have changed so that the drawRect: method is not called on instances of these classes unless it is implemented in a subclass. Apps that have re-implemented drawRect: in a category on any of these classes will find that the drawRect: method isn’t called. UIKit does link-checking to keep the method from being called in apps linked before iOS 5 but does not support this design on iOS 5 or later. Apps can either:
      • Use the customization API for bars that in iOS 5 and later, which is the preferred way.
      • Subclass UINavigationBar (or the other bar classes) and override drawRect: in the subclass.
    • The indexPathForRow:inSection:, section, and row methods of NSIndexPath now use NSInteger instead of NSUInteger, so that these types match with methods defined on UITableView.
    • Touch events are not getting forwarded to the view in the cameraOverlayView property of UIImagePickerController.
    • We have changed the behavior of scrollToRowAtIndexPath:atScrollPosition:animated:such that UITableViewScrollPositionTop and UITableViewScrollPositionBottom now adjust for the top and bottom portions of the contentInset property.

    WebKit

    • In iOS 5, a new inherited CSS property, -webkit-overflow-scrolling, is available. The value touch allows the web developer to opt in to native-style scrolling in an overflow:scrollelement. The default value for this property is auto, which allows single-finger scrolling without momentum.
    • NEW: In beta 5, accessing sites that use client side SSL certificates does not work and may cause the application to crash.
    • The WebKit framework has picked up a newer WebKit engine, which closely matches Safari 5.1. Some areas to be aware of with the new WebKit framework on iOS:
      • There is a new HTML5-compliant parser.
      • Text layout width may change slightly because word-rounding behavior now has floating-point-based precision.
      • There is improved validation of the <input> form field, which includes removing leading zeros and number formatting.
      • Touch events are now supported on input fields.
      • window.onerror is now supported.
      • There is a new user agent that does not have locale information in the User Agent string.
      • NEW: URLs are now canonicalized by making the scheme all lowercase. If a fake URL is used to pass information from a UIWebView back to native code, make sure that the scheme is always lowercase, or that the native code compares the scheme in a case-insensitive manner.

    Wi-Fi Syncing

    • In iOS 5 beta 4 and later, wireless syncing is now available on Windows as well as the Mac. (This support requires OS X 10.6.8 or Lion.) You will see an option to enable wireless syncing when you connect your device to iTunes with the USB cable. It is recommended you perform your initial sync with a cable after restoring your device.
      • Wireless syncing is triggered automatically when the device is connected to power and on the same network as the paired computer. Or, you can manually trigger a sync from iTunes or from Settings > General > iTunes Sync (same network as paired computer required).
      • If you find issues with apps, media and/or photos synced to your device, you can reset then resync. From Settings > General > Reset, choose Erase all Content and Settings. Then reconnect to iTunes and sync again.
    • In some cases, your device may fail to sync contacts, calendars and account settings, or back up to iTunes. If this happens, reboot your device and re-sync.
    • FIXED: In some cases, syncing photos may result in only thumbnails on your device. If this happens, unsync Photos then re-sync again.

    Xcode

    • FIXED: In beta 4, device restores using Xcode were disabled. This has been fixed. Device restores are now enabled and work in Xcode.
    • In some cases, Xcode 4.2 Organizer does not display a device that is in restore mode. As a workaround you can use iTunes to restore.
    • In iOS 5 beta 5, iOS Simulator is not compatible with previous releases of the iCloud Developer Seed for OS X. It is highly recommended that you update to the latest iCloud Developer Seed to ensure compatibility.
    • iOS 5.0 SDK supports both iOS 4.3 and iOS 5.0 simulators.
    • NEW: Xcode fails to build a Page-based template. You can work around this issue by adding the Core Graphics framework to your project.

  • New Features Of iOS 5

    So the highly anticipated iOS 5 announcement is here. Here is an overview of the new features of the iOS 5 introduced at the WWDC. Keep in mind that these are just a few of the features and there are other less important ones which weren’t announced at the WWDC.

    Notification Center

    The first feature, which is also the most expected one, is the all new notifications system. At first look, it bears a striking resemblance to the one used in android. Apple has finally gotten rid of those annoying push notifications which plagued the iPhone.Now, the notifications can be accessed by pulling the top bar down, like in android devices. They can then be viewed individually by sliding across to reveal the notification. The notifications can be closed by tapping on the cross. Click here for more information

    Deep Twitter Integration

    The second feature is native twitter integration of the iOS devices. Twitter applications can now be integrated with other applications.The setup for twitter has been simplified and now it can also automatically update contacts if they have twitter handles. Overall, the Twitter user interface is made smoother and now is much more pleasant to use. Click here for more information

    News Stand

    The third feature is the news stand. It is more like a virtual newspaper, with magazine and news subscriptions being sent to you virtually on your iOS device. Subscriptions were introduced by Apple a while back, but now the latest editions can be downloaded automatically. They can then be read offline.

     

    Enhanced Safari

    Apple has introduced a lot of new changes to the native Safari browser. First and foremost is the Safari reader, which is placed near the address bar. It aligns text together,and is a handy convenience when reading an all text page, such as a story. Then there is the reading list, which basically lets you read pages off line by saving them. Apple also introduced tabbed browsing on the iOS devices. As said before, twitter integration makes its presence here as tweets can be made using the tweet button, which pops up the tweet sheet.

     

    Camera Updates

    The native camera application has been upgraded drastically. A camera button has been placed on the lockscreen so the camera application can be accessed directly from there without unlocking the phone.Pictures can be taken by using the volume up button, so it acts like a physical camera shutter key. The pictures can be pinched to zoom like in the previous iOS versions, but now the exposure settings can be adjusted automatically by holding onto the touch. Options for editing to some extent are also present such as red-eye reduction, cropping and one click enhancement.

     

    Enhanced Mail Client

    Some features have also been added to the native mail client. These include; Rich-text formatting, indentation control, S-mime, draggable addresses (from To: to Cc: or Bcc:). You can now also search entire contents of messages.

     

    iMessage

    iMessage is a new messaging client available on all iOS 5 devices. Messages,receipts,pictures and videos can be sent amongst all iOS 5 devices using WiFi or 3G. One thing to note is that typing notifications are present here, so the receiver gets noted when the sender is typing a message. Click here for more information

    PC-Free

    With the iOS 5, the iOS devices wouldn’t need to be synced with a PC/Mac to set them up on first start up. The setup is done on the device itself, and software updates are downloaded Over the air, unlike the previous iOS versions wherea computer with itunes was needed to update to the latest iOS version. iTunes library on the device can be synced wirelessly over wifi. Airplay mirroring also lets you display the iPad on a TV wirelessly. Click here for more information.

     

     

    Reminders

    Other features of the iOS 5 include reminders, which can be assigned for any time or location. The dictionary can now be used for all applications downloaded from the app store. It can be accessed by selecting the text and using the define option.

    The iOS 5 will be released this fall and for now will support the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3rd and 4th generations, iPad and iPad 2. However, the developer will be available from today.

  • How To: Jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 7 on iPhone 4/3GS, iPod Touch and iPad Using Redsnow

    The following are instructions on How To Jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 7 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 7 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.

    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 7 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 your’s 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 5 firmware.

    The following is guide on how to downgrade your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad on iOS 5.0 Beta 8  back to iOS4.3.3 or iOS 4.3.5.

    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.

    iPod Touch 4G iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here.

    TinyUmbrella. Click here.

    Recboot(Mac). Click here

    Recboot(Windows) – Requires Dotnet 4.0. 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
