updated : PwnageTool 4.01 Released,

Updated to correct version number

PwnageTool 4.01 Released http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
As we all know, on Monday Apple gave a gift to all iPhone, iPod owners, iOS 4. But if you have used PwnageTool to hactivate and carrier unlock, you should not have upgraded. But many people did and they either had no 3G or Edge and some had MMS disappearing.
The Dev Team always advised not to upgrade with Apple upgrades but to waited for the Dev teams release. As per their promise, the Dev Team has released the PwnageTool 4.01.(PwnageTool 4.01).
But their are some caveats and you should watch out. There are some devices that are not supported by the update because Apple does not support these under iOS 4. But as usual, the team is working on a solution for the problem. so as of now;

• iPhone 2G  - not supported
• iPod Touch - not supported
• iPod Touch 3G - not supported

 The new PwnageTool only recognizes the official IPSWs that came out yesterday. The developers had access to IPSW 4.0 GM and those should not be used.

iPhone 3GS

The PwnageTool 4.01 only works with previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom. If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS with the OLD BOOTROM and you DID NOT use Spirit to jailbreak then you can create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore with your jailbroken recovery mode.
If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01  (PwnageTool 4.01)

iPhone 3G

If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.01 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.
If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.01 ipsw using DFU mode.
If you have a Jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone 3G it is very possible that this can fail from recovery mode, if this failure happens you will need to restore using DFU mode.
As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on iPhone 3G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.
IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.

 iPod touch 2G

If you have an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.
As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on non-MC iPod Touch 2G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

Baseband Unlock with Ultrasn0w
ultrasn0w has been updated to cover all basebands from 04.26.08 onward. iPhone 3G and 3GS baseband unlockers (those who rely on ultrasn0w to make phone calls) should always be very wary to update their firmware, however our Ultrasn0w application will unlock all recent (including the current) 3GS and 3G baseband firmware versions.  Once you are jailbroken using PwnageTool 4.01, install ultrasn0w from Cydia and you’ll be unlocked.
The Dev Team thanks @sherif_hashim for finding the crashing command that the new ultrasn0w 0.93 uses! and @oranav (who found the earlier +xlog crash).

http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Gizmodo has instructions on how to tether your iPhone (jailbroken only) or T-Mobile G1 to your laptop for free 3G broadband. Considering the iPhone 3G speed I got, should not be bad as it is certainly as fast as lower grade broadband connection. When you read the article do not forget to read the comments as well. It might enlighten you to pitfalls that might await this route of being connected!

JailBroken iPhones Get Copy And Paste.

http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
According to a post and a bunch of photos, iPhone has got copy and post already. But do not run (surf) to App Store yet because it runs only on jailbroken iPhones, for now. The copy and Paste application runs on both iPhone and iPod touch and once installed seem to be pretty easy to use. Clippy is responsible for the app and if you want to see more pictures and find out how to get the app from iSpazio Repository, visit spazio.

YellowSnow! The iPhone 3G Software Unlock Beta (0.9.4) Released.

Update: iPod Touch 2G Jailbroken!
http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
The iPhone Dev Team has released the updated he iPhone 3G software unlock program, YellowSnow. The program runs as a small command line application which is easy to install in any jailbroken iPhone 3G using Installer.
Even though I am not putting this on my iPhone, according to this poster on hachintosh, (read this discussion, which is very long, as well) all seem to be dandy and fine. You can find a portion of his post below;

"OK, I have spent the last 2 days working solid trying to get this to work on the UK Three (3) carrier on a iPhone that was locked to o2. Follow these steps, each one is pretty important:

1. Restore your iPhone with itunes to 2.2 firmware (if you haven’t already)

2. Jailbreak with QuickPwn (if you haven’t already)

3. Open installer and add the source Dev Team provided and download yellowsn0w 0.9.4 (if you haven’t already)

4. Download BigBoss Prefs (if you haven’t already)

5. Download Mobile Terminal (if you haven’t already)

6. Go into Settings -> Phone -> show My Caller ID Turn this ON
** Although it maybe greyed out and say OFF, you can still turn it ON**

7. Go into BigBoss Prefs and click Reboot

8. Once phone is on, go into Terminal

9. OK, now the timing of this next part in important.
There are 4 lines that need to be entered. You need to type;
- yellowsn0w –r
- yellowsn0w –c
- These two commands need to be entered between 2-4 seconds within each other. They way you do that is type in one of the commands (yellowsn0w –r) on the terminal screen (but don’t press enter) then if you click the top right corner (hit the battery symbol) another terminal will appear, type the second command (yellowsn0w –c) but don’t press enter. Now, hit the battery twice more and you’ll be back at the first terminal screen. Press enter, quickly press move to the second screen and press enter again. As long as “open: Resource Busy” does not appear, move to the next step, otherwise repeat the above, make sure you quick enough entering the commands.

10. Next do the same as the above but enter these two commands:
- yellowsn0w –r (i)
- yellowsn0w –l
- Again, make sure they are entered within 2-4 seconds of each other. And AGAIN, you will know if this worked by waiting 20 seconds after you’ve entered “yellowsn0w –l” and “open: Resource Busy” does not appear. (You should also see “Searching...” where your signal should be..,”

11. OK, nearly done, press home button to get out of terminal, go into Settings and turn on Aeroplane mode...turn it off...it’ll probably say “Searching...” again, if after another 20 seconds it’s still saying it, turn it on and off again and NOW it should find your network. **You’ll know if it’s working after this step as the “Carrier” bar will appear under WiFi.


NOTES – I’ve done this 3 times now to my own phone, seems to require it after each reboot. And don’t worry, it never worked the first time I tried it on each of the 3 occasions. I had WiFi on, Edge on, doesn’t seem to matter, it all seems to be about the terminal commands and having your Caller ID Showing...

OW, and BIG PROPS goes out to deli_gt who advised me through these hard times."
