Upcoming Comex Jailbreak seems to be Released Today

Quick heads up, someone published this image on the web, we don't know it's source but it's seems not fake! Comex mentioned in his podcast interview that he is waiting for saurik to finish Cydia bootstrap, the screenshot below shows a message from saurik saying that he already gave the bootstrap to comex.
I actually gave comex the bootstrap he needed last night. so I am no longer the bottleneck. (The concept of “bottleneck” is very transient.)
It seems really close, may be it will be released today and Sunday be the FunDay? Absolutely they are running a group of tests on all devices to be sure it's safe and excellent to be released for public, so Stay tuned!
Update 1: JailbreakME from Comex is out, Check here.

Warning:Jailbreak Fake List

In the last few days we heard about many new FAKE jailbreak tools, but I think this is normal cause they came parallel with the real new iPhone 4 / 3GS Jailbreak, which will be released very soon, so I made this post as a register of the FAKE jailbreaks, this post will be always updated with these fakes.
1-Sedna Jailbreak:
A lot of people talked about it, but Chpwn sent a tweet saying that the Sedna jailbreak is completely FAKE.
Chpwn said:I don't know anything about "Sedna" except it is completely fake...
2-Shitra1n:
I think this is not an apropriated name of a tool, so Sherif Hashif (dev team member) sent a tweet saying this is completely FAKE.
Sherif_Hashim said: I can't believe that ppl are really asking about the credibility of something called -shitra1n-, come on, the name says it FAKE-FAKE-FAKE
Note: You should ensure the source of any tool before trying in your iDevice.
 

@GeorgeHotz is not the Real GeoHot

We all (even me) thought that the new account on twitter @georgehotz is the real Geohot and we posted that he apologized to all people for his bad behavior. At first he started privately and once all knew that he apologized, he went public and got a lot of followers, Actually I was surprised when I saw this tweet from @gerogehotz
Someone mentioned @georgehotz hoping that he is the real Geohot, But he answered him,
Its not real its just for fun!
So, Now decide, Follow him for some fun but he is not real! he is a parody account!
Now let's wait for the real jailbreak from Comex.
 

First iPhone 4 Cydia App "SpringFlash"

This days we are talking a lot about the upcoming jailbreak for iPhone 4 from comex, now BigBoss has created his first iPhone 4 Cydia app "SpringFlash", it's available now in Cydia but you should have a jailbroken iPhone 4!
Here's the blog post with title "First iPhone4 Only Cydia App":
Since the jailbreak is due very soon, I have created SpringFlash, the first iPhone 4 only Cydia app. SpringFlash is a springboard activator based LED flashlight for your iPhone 4. In short, you can have a touch of a button for a bright LED flashlight without hassling with unlocking your iPhone, closing your app, or even turning on your screen.
As shown in the quote above, the app is a springboard activator which gives you a bright LED flashlight without hassling with iPhone Unlock, Sure it's available for free on BigBoss repo whenever the jailbreak is available!
Stay Tuned, we will be covering this jailbreak tool from comex whenever it's released and available for download
 

Jailbreak iPhone 4 on iOS 4.x is "Pretty Close to Done"

Good News to get the hopes up, in an all-star podcast interview with Comex, Planetbeing, Chpwn, and Saurik yesterday, Comex was asked "When is the iPhone 4 Jailbreak and Unlock is going to be released?", the answer was great "pretty close to done"
Question: When is the iPhone 4 Jailbreak and Unlock is going to be released?

Comex: You will have to ask Saurik if he’s done with that bootstrap yet. Like I hate to say this because people will be complaining, but it is pretty close to done.

PlanetBeing: Unlock is done. Just waiting for the jailbreak to be released.

Chpwn: The jailbreak definitely needs a lot of testing before it is released, to make sure it works on everybody’s phone, and that there are no issues like Spirit had where it deleted all of your photos in the first few days of the release.
[via Redmondpie]
So here's What to Do to get Ready for the Jailbreak!
First, Save SHSH of iOS 4.0.1 Using TinyUmbrella for iPhone 4 / 3GS / iPod Touch 3G and Using Cydia for iPhone 3G / iPod Touch 2G
Second, Backup your Data in Case the Jailbreak has some issues (Save photos, contacts and videos)
Third, Follow me on Twitter, Become a fan on Facebook or Subscribe via Mail / RSS to be the First who Jailbreak.

So not to ask me, This jailbreak will work on any iDevice in the world, This jailbreak will be able to jailbreak iPhone 4 / 3GS New and Old Bootroms / 3G - iPod Touch 3G / 2G MC and Non-MC Models on iOS 4.x, Also for iPad on iOS 3.2.1

How to: Speed Up iPhone 3G on iOS 4 with 5 Fixes

I know that most of iPhone 3G users complain about the performance of the device after upgrading to iOS 4, Some users disabled Multitasking but still very slow, so here's a round up of fixes for slowness of iPhone 3G on iOS 4, check them below..
Perform a “hard reset”,
Hold down the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously for roughly 15-20 seconds, until the screen powers off then an Apple logo appears, which signifies a reboot. Some users have (oddly enough) reported that performing two hard resets resolves the slowness issue.

Restore Again,
That what I think, restoring an iPhone may fix slowness but this time don't restore from backup. I knw it will will delete contacts and other data but may resolve this issue.

Give More Space,
You may leave 10% free space for your iPhone as iOS 4.x need a lot of space to perform faster.

Turn off Spotlight,
Already told you that Spotlight Search may solve this issue, follow the step by step guide posted here to turn of spotlight search.

Turn off MMS,
Touch on Settings > Messages > MMS messaging and change MMS Messaging to “Off,” then perform a hard reset as shown above.

After doing that all and performance still bad, Then go and ask Apple to fix this issue! Oh, got a tip to make iPhone 3G perform faster? Tell us by commenting below..
 

Geohot Apologizing

Geohot the has just sent a tweet from few seconds, he apologized about his behavior and suddenly disappearance, as we know George Hotz is a big name in the jailbreak world he is the creator of the blakra1n and blacksn0w tools. See what he said after the break.

I understand most of you say you depend on my work, but reality is I made a lot of great tools and resources for others to continue. I apologize for my behavior the last few months but you must understand my life doea not revolve around just iphone. This was something I picked up for fun and now it has turned to much more than that. we have many great people on the scene now, please check them out. i don't plan on releasing anything soon. Thank you.
I think it is not logic to see one don't like fame, money, appreciation and respect from people, cause the jailbreakers look like Hollywood Stars in the internet community, I think that Geohot may continue but via his friend Mike Cohen.

Update 1: @GeorgeHotz is not the Real Geohot, more details posted here.

Jailbreak iOS 4.1 Beta 2 on iPhone 3G & iPod Touch 2G Using Redsn0w

iOS 4.1 Beta 2 was released last night and I think it fixed some bugs and solved the proximity sensor issue which was plaguing some iPhone 4 users since launch. MuscleNerd has tweeted that Redsn0w Beta 5 can be used to Jailbreak iOS 4.1 Beta 2 for both iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G, But Ultrasn0w will not work as iOS 4.1 Beta 2 Changes the Baseband and need to rewrite Ultrasn0w!
If you've updated to 4.1beta2 on iPhone3G or iPod2G(non-MC), you can use this redsn0w from June to jailbreak. Just point it at the 4.0 IPSW (the public one, not the developer GM one).
(Yes – point it at the 4.0 IPSW even though you're at 4.1beta2).
Don't do this if you need the ultrasn0w carrier unlock!!
Note 1: This won't hacktivate your iPhone3G – but for those with legit access to the 4.1beta2 this shouldn't matter. Please don't pirate Apple software
Note 2: If you're at 4.1beta2 you'll probably experience network problems after jailbreaking. Until a new version of redsn0w is released, you may need to rely on afc2 access (such as FunBox-like file browser programs) to manipulate your filesystem.
Note 3: This is recommended only for power users who can deal with the problems that will pop up as the JB apps fall further behind the beta firmwares.
The guide is simple and easy, Just follow the guide posted here to Jailbreak iOS 4 on iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G and Yes, point Redsn0w to the Original iOS 4 not iOS 4.1.

Download iOS 4.1 Beta 2
Download Redsn0w Beta 5
Download iTunes 9.2.1
 

Download iOS 4.1 Beta 2 for iPhone and iPod Touch

Last Week iOS 4.1 Beta 1 Released for Developers, Now the Beta 2 of iOS 4.1 has been released and it's available for Download if you have a developer account to access Apple's developers Center to be able to download the SDK of iOS 4.1 Beta 2.
The SDK is build 10M2305a and the firmware is build 8B5091b.
You must have a developer account to be able to download iOS 4.1 Beta 2 for iPhone 4 / 3GS / 3G and iPod Touch 3G / 2G,

iH8sn0w May Leave the Jailbreak Scene?

Last week, George Hotz a.k.a Geohot has left the Jailbreak scene but he may be back soon according to his Friend Mike. Whatever today we have another developer is leaving the Jailbreak scene too! Our lovely iH8sn0w the developer behind Sn0wbreeze, F0recast and AutoSHSH has closed his Site for some reasons mentioned below..
Well, I respect this guy a lot and my message to him is not to leave as he is genius and we all respect him and his tools! The reason behind leaving is because Jay Freeman a.k.a saurik the developer of Cydia who said that iH8sn0w is not "Legit", meanwell people can't trust iH8sn0w?
iH8sn0w already developed nice tools but he failed in some guides and corrected his mistakes! he created some advanced guides to jailbreak iPod touch 3G and iPhone 3GS new boot who got 3.1.2 SHSH. So Dude, What about not leaving and prove your Self with a new Sn0wbreeze! Oh and remember iPhone 4 will be delivered in Canda by July 30 so get your self ready!

Update 1: Guys, it was just a mistake as iH8sn0w said that pie was a joke and he is not a source of news -- That's why saurik said he is not "Legit" but at Last saurik apologized or making him sound deceiving, Sure the site will be back soon! will tell you on Twitter.

Update 2: The two official sites for iH8sn0w this & this has been restored again .

Library of Congress Adds DMCA Exception for Jailbreaking and Rooting

The Library of Congress has announced, anti-circumvention exceptions to the DMCA policies that legally allow people to jailbreak or root their phones. Now, I think Apple will not be happy by this press release from the library of congress.
Today I have designated six classes of works. Persons who circumvent access controls in order to engage in noninfringing uses of works in these six classes will not be subject to the statutory prohibition against circumvention.

Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset.

Jailbreak for iPhone 4 / 3GS on iOS 4 and iPad 3.2.1 Delayed

Well, this post wasn't important but I think most of you thought that Semi-Spirit Jailbreak for iPhone 4 would be out at the end of this week? nope, you may need to read this post. I will talk about two points, the first is that the Jailbreak is delayed due to some issues in FaceTime and Multitasking, Second point is that most of you think it's "Spirit" but due to some sources, It's Not!
Delayed, due to MuscleNerd tweets
Not to make it a daily thing, but since somehow people thought it would be today: the new JB+unlock won’t be out today

(there are issues with important apps like Facetime that need to be figured out…no sense releasing a half-broken JB)
Well, the second point is that it's not Called Spirit as MuscleNerd replied to someone who asking something mentioning "Spirit" and MuscleNerd told him I said it's upcoming comex jailbreak not Spirit, Also Ultrasn0w unlock will be available whenever the Jailbreak is out as the unlock is Ready! So Stay Tuned for covering the event whenever the download is available.

RecBoot 1.1 to Exit and Enter Recovery Mode, Now without LibUSB!

What if you stuck on Recovery Mode? or your Home Button is closed? May be you run a program and need to kick out Recovery Mode? Well, RecBoot is what you want, With Recboot you can get out of Recovery to mode without need to LibUSB.
Here's iHacker update on Recboot 1.1:
I’ve been getting TONS of emails from people saying that RecBoot wasn’t working for them because of libusb. This update makes RecBoot use iTunnel instead of iRecovery, which is based around MobileDevice.h, which means no libusb!

If you wish to enter Recovery Mode, however, you will need to download and place iTunesMobileDevice.dll in the RecBoot folder. I cannot provide this due to legal reasons. I could have made RecBoot point to the DLL from the registry, but I’m not going to, it’s just a quick open source thing I created for the community that isn’t a big deal, feel free to do whatever you want with it, use the batch files and everything else in the folder. The source code can be downloaded here. RecBoot is yours now, I’m not going to be spending all my time on a program that opens a batch file.
