Geohot, the guy behind the famous one-click-jailbreak-solution for the iPhone, has released a video of what he calls an Untethered Jailbreak for the iPhone. This new way should also work on the iPad, and it remains to be seen if geohot will actually release this when the first iPads get to their users. And the new untethered means that it is all software based, no tethering/loaders are needed for this to work.

Here is what Geohot wrote on his blog:

The jailbreak is all software based, and is as simple to use as blackra1n. It is completely untethered, works on all current tethered models(ipt2, 3gs, ipt3), and will probably work on iPad too.

Don’t ask about a release date. You won’t make it happen any sooner.

For the time being, you can download the current Blackra1n version here.


Dev-Team today released a new and updated version of PwnageTool. The new version is PwnageTool 3.1.5, and is able to crack the iPhone OS version 3.1.3. Here’s a take from the Dev-Team Blog:

On Tuesday, Apple released firmware 3.1.3 for the iPhone and iPod touches.  Unless you’ve personally observed a problem with the reporting of your battery percentage, there’s no reason to update to 3.1.3.  We know some of you will want to anyway.  Superbowl Sunday’s PwnageTool 3.1.5 for Mac OS X will let you do so safely, preserving your jailbreak and ultrasn0w unlock.  (If you use the blacksn0w unlock (at baseband 05.11.07), you need to stay at 3.1.2.)

iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers should always be very wary to update their firmware.  This is no exception.  If you make a mistake along the way you may find yourself updating to official 3.1.3 in which case you will lose your unlock, possibly forever.

iPhone 3GS users (regardless of unlock) should stay away from this and all 3.1.3 jailbreak tools unless you know you have your “SHSH hashes” backed up via Cydia.  That’s because if you make a mistake you may find yourself stuck at official 3.1.3 with no way to jailbreak or come back down to 3.1.2 to jailbreak.

If you really truly feel that you need to update, this version creates a custom 3.1.3 IPSW for you to restore to on your iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS with early bootrom, iPod touch 1G, and iPod touch 2G with early bootrom.  If you don’t know if you have an early bootrom or not, please avoid updating until you learn more.

The iPad UI has been ported to jailbroken iPhone’s using Winterboard(available via Cydia). The process is not hard, but you need to do many small things to achieve this. Hit read more for an instructional video, and a guide on how to do it.


ProSwitcher is a GUI for the famous Backgrounder application, that didn’t really have a graphical interface. With ProSwitcher, you will be able to go though your open programs, or “Cards” as they are called on WebOS, in an interface that resembles the one seen on WebOS based devices like the Palm Pre. The app will make multitasking on an iPhone really easy. This program should come pre-installed on every iPhone sold :)

Engadget has tested out BTStack Keyboard, which will make pairing a Bluetooth keyboard to your iPhone possible. The app is priced at $5 in Cydia, so you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone for this one to work. Check out the video after the break!


A little laggy, but still cool :)

multifl0w-cap

Here is a thing that Apple should copy, multifl0w for iPhone. Multifl0w will make it possible to run applications in the background on an iPhone, a feature that Apple hasn’t added to the iPhone for what they call energy consumption reasons. The only problem is, that every other platform supports multitasking in some way, and the iPhone OS doesn’t. Thanks to the jailbreaking community, it is possible to multitask on an iPhone. multifl0w turns your iPhone into a multitasking device, with an interface that resembles the one seen on a Palm Pre.

Check out the video and download instructions after the break.

A second worm targeting jailbroken iPhones have been discovered. At the moment it’s spreading in the Netherlands.

What the worm does, is that it steals login info of users of a Dutch online bank IGN Direct. It does this by using the same SSH exploit as the previous worm did. The default password for SSH is ‘alpine’, and all of you who have not changed this into something else are in danger.

This makes this worm into the first ‘real’ worm on the iPhone, since it’s trying to make the inventor some $$$(instead of just Rickrollin’ you).
