iPhone 3.0.1 is here now to fix SMS vulnerability and you can still jailbreak it after update

Posted by admin

3.0.1

Apple has issued a statement saying less than 24 hours after the demonstration of SMS vulnerability in the conference, they have issued the patch to fix it. You can now update the iPhone to 3.0.1 that fix the flaw in the iTunes now. It will break the current jailbreak, but you can re-jailbreak and software unlock it after the update.

iPhone Dev Team said users can still use redsn0w 0.8 to jailbreak. The trick is that when choosing the firmware, choose the old 3.0 one. (file that ends with _3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw). They said redsn0w will only touch the part that is not related to 3.0.1 update. You may also install the ultrasn0w to software unlock also. You don’t have to wait for the updated jailbreak tools.

iPhone Dev-Team Offers Tips to Fix Unlock Issues

Ultratips

It looks like version 0.9 of ultrasn0w fixed up the vast majority of any problems people were seeing with the 3G/3GS carrier unlock. But here’s a brief list of fixes for anyone still seeing problems:

  • Unusual battery depletion is almost always caused by people choosing to “Restore from backup” instead of “Setup as new iPhone” when iTunes asks you.  This isn’t caused by either the jailbreak or the unlock, but it’s a common 3.0 snafu. The fix is to just re-run the official 3.0 restore and choose “Setup as new” this time.  Your music and apps and all that will still be synced, but you’ll get rid of any conflicting wifi, bluetooth, or carrier settings.  Then just re-run redsn0w and install ultrasn0w.
  • Remember, ultrasn0w works with hacktivated phones too, but don’t outsmart redsn0w into thinking you don’t need hacktivation! If you don’t plan on using an official sim, don’t activate via iTunes with such a sim.  Just keep your unofficial sim at all times and let redsn0w and ultrasn0w handle hacktivation :)
  • T-Mobile in the USA doesn’t use the 3G frequencies that the iPhones support, so turn off 3G in Settings->General->Network.  (Some T-Mobile territories gracefully hand down to Edge mode, but most do not).
  • Certain unofficial plans have limitations on whether you can make calls and use data at the same time. That’s not unlock-related.
  • Some people have installed previous versions of ultrasn0w using non-standard techniques. While the ultrasn0w 0.9 update should have removed all previous versions of ultrasn0w, these users may have outsmarted our removal.  So make sure you don’t still see /usr/bin/ultrasn0w present if you’re at ultrasn0w 0.9 (which doesn’t have such a binary anymore).
  • If you don’t need or plan to update to ultrasn0w 0.9 from a previous version, you can avoid having that red badge over Cydia by removing repo666 as a Cydia source.  Don’t worry, you can always add it back later :)  If you follow us on twitter you’ll be advised of any new updates anyway.

Last but not least, many thanks to our resident blog moderators, angiepangie and Confucious.  They’re doing a fantastic job helping people in the comments, and so are other volunteers.  Thank you all for your contributions!

Apple News | Fuzzyband 3.1b1 Now Supports iPhone OS 3.0

Posted by admin

The Fuzzyband Baseband downgrader has been updated to 3.1b1 and now supports iPhone OS 3.0. It also adds an upgrade feature for those looking to use the ultrasn0w unlock.

FEATURES:
Upgrades / Downgrades baseband to 4.26.08 for unlocking with the ultrasn0w tool released by the iPhone Dev-Team

UPGRADING:
Upgrading is for users that wish to remain on 2.2.1 but also unlock. Upgrading will put the 4.26.08 baseband from 3.0 on the modem so that ultrasn0w may be installed from cydia

DOWNGRADING:
Downgrading works from any version greater than 4.26.08 (currently 5.08.01 is the newest version available, found in 3.1 beta 1). It will put your baseband back at version 4.26.08 which is the current unlockable version by ultrasn0w.

Downgrading only works on phones that have the 05.08 (5.8) Bootloader from the factory. This is a very limited number of phones that were released in the first few weeks of the 3G production cycle.

If you do not know your bootloader then you can run Fuzzyband and it will report the version number for you.
