MuscleNerd (iPhone Dev Team Member) has released a Windows + Mac version of redsn0w. This release includes support for multiple devices running the 3.1.2 software version and allows the user to change boot logos.
I haven’t tested this software, but iPhone dev team jailbreak are always superb. This particular release is beta software though, so be cautious about it. It may not be the most stable version. I personally would wait until a final release comes out instead of using the beta.

Install0us 2.5 is now available on it’s own dedicated repository. Puy0 (the developer) has added many new features, including Auto-IPA Install and Delete, the option to specify a home page, and a new layout. this new version of install0us is now hosted on it’s own repository, instead of hackulo.us’s repository. Use the below source to download Install0us 2.5:
http://cydia.install0us.com/
Once you have added the above source in Cydia, you can search for Install0us (the 0 is a zero) and install the package.
The new install0us is great and has many new features, but someone from xSellize has created a custom home page for Install0us which allows you to access many different Cracked IPA sites from one convienient location. Use this source to get the package
http://cydia.xsellize.com/
Now search for custom install0us. install the package in the search results from the xSellize repo. The package should do everything for you, so the next time you open install0us you will have your custom home page. Look at the below images for the new loading screen and the custom home page.

A hacker going by the name of iKee, has released what he called the first iPhone virus. The virus will change the users wallpaper to a picture of the 80’s pop star Rick Astley. Text will be displayed on the screen saying ‘ikee will never give you up’.
The worm is attacking iPhones that are jailbroken and have SSH installed with the default password still in place. Ikee only attacks iPhones in Australia, so if you don’t live upside down then don’t worry about getting it : ) I highly recommend that you change the default password. If you wish to do so, follow the steps at the very bottom of this post.
Details:
This worm infects an iPhone, and then scans specific IP address ranges on cell networks. Vulnerable iPhones are detected and infected with the worm. This whole process repeats again and again.
How to change the default password:
1. Install the MobileTerminal package from Cydia.
2. Open the terminal application from the homescreen, and type su. Then press enter.
3. Now type alpine and press enter.
4. Type passwd (yes, it is spelt correctly) and type in the password of your choice. The password will not be displayed.
5. Once the password is entered, press enter. You will be asked to enter the password again. Enter it and press enter again.
Done! Just remember to use this password when you log in to your iPhone with SSH.

Blackra1n RC2 has been released and is available download right now on the downloads page. This new version of Blackra1n now fully supports the iPhone 3G. A lot of people were having problems jailbreakig their iPhone 3G’s, because Geohot had not completely worked out all the bugs/glitches with the jailbreak for it. All should be fine now though.
iPod touch 2G (the new one) is now also supported, but it is a tethered jailbreak. The new iPhone 3GS’s with the patched bootrom are supported out of the box as well (tethered though).
Tethered Explanation:
A tethered jailbreak is one that requires a patch to be run each time a device wants to reboot. Old devices had a bootrom which was exploitable to the 24kpwn bug which allowed the loading of custom firmwares. Apple has since fixed this bug in more recent versions of the bootrom. The bootrom is a bit of code that runs when an iPhone/iPod touch is turned on, and it checks whether the loaded firmware has been signed and verified by apple. If the signature check fails, the device will simply refuse to boot up without a patch. Tethered jailbreaks cannot be made into untethered jailbreaks without a new bootrom exploit to allow the loading of custom firmwares.

Pwnage Tool 3.1.4 has been released, and adds support for jailbreaking an iPhone or iPod touch running the 3.1.2 firmware. As always, Pwnage Tool is for Mac computers only because the iPhone Dev Team does not code their program for Windows – based computers.
Quote from the iPhone Dev Team Blog:
Here are some details on our latest version of PwnageTool 3.1.4 for Mac OS X which supports the 3.1.2 release of the iPhone software for iPhone 2G/3G/3GS and iPod Touch 1G/2G.
If you’re already jailbroken (by whatever means), you don’t need to mess around with DFU mode at all. Just create (or get from a friend) your custom IPSW and Option-Restore (Shift-Restore on Windows) to it via iTunes. Don’t enter DFU mode at all. Please make sure you are restoring to the custom IPSW, not the stock one from Apple! For best results, use the latest iTunes (9.0.1) — which includes a nice new application organizer.
This release allows your baseband to remain unlocked at 3.1.2, but it does not unlock a new baseband put there by restoring to official 3.1.x. It is super important that people who need the unlock to understand they can keep it only by starting at 3.0 (or earlier) and updating solely to custom IPSWs that don’t update the baseband. For those who have been onboard the “unlock train”, simply install ultrasn0w via Cydia once you’ve restored to your custom IPSW. Don’t forget to turn off the “3G” setting in Settings->General->Network if you use T-Mobile in the U.S.A.
Note for 3GS users not already jailbroken and stuck at 3.1.x: this version of PwnageTool has a side feature to jailbreak your 3GS. It uses a simple implementation of the usb control msg hole found by chronicdev, geohot, and our very own gray. Now that the hole is public and in use, we expect Apple to close it by the next major firmware update. That’s why 3GS users need to get their ECID hashes for 3.1.x now, and need to stay onboard the “jailbreak train” in all future updates.
For the early adopters who ran blackra1n and are having problems with mobilesubstrate, winterboard, diskaid, or ifunbox, you can install a custom .ipsw from PwnageTool to fix these issues. That’s because all jailbroken devices accept a custom .ipsw created by PwnageTool. (However, if you ran blackra1n on a 3G or 3GS that means you updated to stock 3.1.x, and the carrier unlock is now out of reach. We’ll continue to work on a carrier unlock for the latest basebands, but the timeframe for such an unlock is unknowable.)
Note: If you use internet tethering on a carrier that doesn’t officially support it, you’ll lose it by going to 3.1.x. Stay back at 3.0 until a hack for that is developed.

EDIT: A PACKAGE FROM CYDIA CALLED AFC2ADD IS NOW AVAILABLE. IF YOU INSTALL THIS PACKAGE, IT WILL DO ALL THE HARD WORK FOR YOU AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW THE BELOW STEPS.
If for some reason, you cannot download the package from Cydia just use the instructions below:
After using Blackra1n to jailbreak, users are complaining that iFunbox and iPhone browser are no longer working as thy should. This is because a service required by these program is not added to the device by Blackra1n, named AFC2. Follow the below steps to add the service.
1. Install MobileTerminal in Cydia.
2. Install Erica Utilities in Cydia
3. Open Terminal from the homescreen and enter the following commands:
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -dict Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -Label -string com.apple.afc2 Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -AllowUnactivatedService -true Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -array Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string /usr/libexec/afcd Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string \”–lockdown\” Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string \”-d\” Services.plist
plutil -com.apple.afc2 -ProgramArguments -arrayadd -string / Services.plist

Ha1lday, by Appuloha1l, turned out to be a complete fake. Appuloha1l claimed that it would be and unlock and jailbreak for the 3.1 firmware for all devices, but when users downloaded it, they were rickrolled. The developer of ha1lday claimed that this was simply ‘to push the iPhone Dev Team to work faster’ and it was never real. Blackra1n, meanwhile, is the only current jailbreak for all devices. This includes the iPod touch 3G, but the jailbreak is tethered.

Geohot has released the 30 second jailbreak for all devices currently being sold by Apple. Blackra1n can jailbreak the newest iPod touch, but at the moment the jailbreak for this device is tethered. Tethered means that you will have to run the jailbreak each time that you reboot your device, otherwise it will refuse to turn on. Download it by clicking here. This jailbreak is for the 3.1.2 firmware, which is at the time of writing, the most current version of iPhone OS. Blackra1n is one of the simplest jailbreaks out there. It’s as simple as the original 1.1.1 jailbreak (ah, those were the days), and it only requires two steps. Thanks to Geohot for this release, a trusted iPhone hacker since the start.
Meanwhile, Appuloha1l has only just released their jailbreak solution (FAIL!). Looks like Geohot bet you guys to it! I personally will stick to jailbreak utilities from sources I trust like Geohot and the iPhone Dev Team, but there are many who will prefer this. Chronic Dev Team have also released a lite version of Sn0wbreeze, which is a port of Pwnage Tool to Windows, since the iPhone Dev Team does not code their applications for Windows users. We are also still awaiting on a release of Redsn0w from the iPhone Dev Team.

Geohot has announced on his blog that he is developing a jailbreak for ALL of the current iPod touches and iPhones. The iDevice must be running the 3.1 firmware. This particular jailbreak will not come in the form of a new version of Purplera1n, because Geohot has retired it. Instead, blackra1n has been anounced. Once the jailbreak has been released, you can download it here
Currently, Pwnage Tool 3.1.3 is the only application that is capable of jailbreaking the iPhone 3GS, although this is only for Mac. A windows port of the application is underway from the Chronic Dev Team. The ETA for the release is 12th October. If you wish to download Pwnage Tool, visit the downloads page.

The iPhone Dev Team has released a new version of Pwnage Tool (Mac Only) which is now capable of jailbreaking the iPhone 3GS, and iPod touch 2G. The only catch to this jailbreak is that the device that needs to be jailbroken (either of the two stated before, previous devices are not affected) need to already have been jailbroken on the 3.0 firmware for this jailbreak to work. If you have recently bought an iPhone 3GS and it was running 3.1 out of the box, then this jailbreak will not support your device. This version of Pwnage Tool now supports all iDevices, excluding the new iPod touch 3G. If you iPod touch is runnning the 3.1 firmware, but not jailbroken, you can downgrade your device to 3.0, jailbreak, and then jailbreak the new 3.1 firmware. iPhone 3GS users that used saurik’s downgrade service may also downgrade from 3.1 to 3.0. Download the new Pwnage Tool by clicking here.
Quote from the iPhone Dev Team:
The iPhone 3GS is now supported in PwnageTool 3.1.3, assuming the phone was pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 – PwnageTool does not support the 3GS out of the box. If your iPhone 3GS has 3.1 preinstalled and is not Pwned then there is no tested jailbreak solution at the moment.
The iPod 2G is now supported in PwnageTool 3.1.3, assuming the iPod 2G was pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 – PwnageTool does not support the iPod 2G with 3.1 software out of the box.
DETAILS:
- GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G(S) with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new PwnageTool. There are no second chances with this. You need to remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer versions of the iPhone software in the future.
- Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
- Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
- At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1 capable version of PwnageTool.
- PwnageTool will work for the iPhone 3GS assuming you have already Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1
- PwnageTool will work for the iPod touch 2G assuming you have already Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1
- PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G(S) and the iPod touch (1st Generation and 2nd Generation) but NOT the iPod touch 3rd generation.
- For 3G and 3G(S) users who are Pwned, PwnageTool is your key to updating in the future, just remember to never install an update directly from Apple, always use an .ipsw that has been created with PwnageTool.
- There is no Windows version of PwnageTool it is a Mac OS X tool only, we are not developing a Windows version of PwnageTool.
Happy Jailbreaking!
