pwning iPhone OS 3.1 FAIL
Today the part of the Apple community which wants to think really different had something to celebrate: iPhone/iPod OS 3.1 got the jail breaking-treatment.
Kagamiku wanted to guide you through this “tutorial” because Rin seems to prefer bananas over pineapples (^^;) But I’m not sure if this tutorial is helpful. Considering the outcome… I guess eating some chocolate bananas would have been the better solution. My upgrade failed 3 times! )
It was time for some good news for Apple fans as a lot of folks out there are really disappointed that the iPod touch didn’t get a camera. This caused some rages over the interwebs as you can see in the example below ^^
(If you speak German mute it, cause it makes no sense that way.)
But lets get back to the topic: Pwnagetool 3.1 is only available for Mac atm and jailbreaks the iPhone 1st Generation (2G), the iPhone 3G and the iPod touch 1G . Redsn0w will follow soon according to the Dev-Team. 3GS will take a little bit longer. But fortunately a user over @ xsellize pwnd some Firmwares including:
2G (Unlocked Activated with Cydia & 768MB partition)
2G (Unlocked Unctivated with Cydia & 768MB partition) For official carrier users who want PUSH
3G (Activated with Cydia & 768MB partition)
3G (Unactivated with Cydia & 768MB partition) For official carrier users who want PUSH
You can download them over here.
After the download, unpack the *.rar file. Inside is this cracked firmware.
Now open up iTunes.
Turn off your iPhone and unplug the USB cable.
Push and hold the home button and plug in your USB cable.
Keep holding the home button until your iPhone shows an USB cable pointing at an iTunes icon.
iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
Click the “Restore” button while holding the Shift key and choose the downloaded firmware file. (The pic above shows the usual iPhone/iPod page. The option “Update” won’t be available in recovery mode.)
Usually your iPhone should starts to upgrade as usual now. Be patient and play with your Nendos in the meantime.
My iPhone-chan however decided to go tsundere and went nuts… 3 times! @_@
Seems like I’m not the only one with this problem after taking a look on the forums.
Had to restore it which took quite long of course. I’m using my iPhone none-jailbreaked now which is really annoying! Going to JB it on a friends new MacBook Pro on the weekend. Would be a good opportunity to do a hands-on on that device, eh?
Those nendoroids really are a versatile tool!
Zune HD. Time to jump.
nice pineapple thingies! maracas? XD
I’m using 3GS with os 3.0 now, prob need to a wait a while before I can upgrade? ^^;
So these images above does not contain the new baseband, right? Or is it just 3.1 jailbreaked?
>>iPhone
found your problem
Tell me again, why were you upgrading?
I’ve never thought of jail-breaking my iTouch. Any risks?
Well if you don’t do it right it could become an iBrick. Still usable as mirror and such^^
But with the Pwnage-Tool the risk is very low. Just do what the App tells you. Worked great as usual on the weekend. Running on pwnd 3.1 since Saturday.
iBrick LOL.
Okay, I see! Might attempt it one day.. :3
Yah, they are indeed. And btw: Yes, the picture quality sucks ^^;
The custom firmware was created with the Pwnage tool so it doesn’t contain the new baseband.
Because I want the new features? ^^
