New Details of iOS 4.2 Jailbreak & Unlock
Just a quick little heads up! iPhone Dev Team has just posted new details about the new iOS 4.2 untethered jailbreak and also they talked about baseband 05.14.02 and 02.10.04 unlock. iOS 4.2 will be released on Friday to bring lots of new features, so the Dev Team promises with lots of things that will satisfy our readers!
By all accounts, we’re within a few days of Apple’s official public release of Firmware 4.2. Here’s what you need to know:Better explanation? iPhone hacker comex could make untethered jailbreak until iOS 4.2 beta 3 (that's why you see it's SHSH in Cydia) and is working on extending it to final iOS 4.2. iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS will get Ultrasn0w unlock once iOS 4.2 is released while iPhone 4 will get it a bit more but as soon as possible ! So, stay tuned for some good news here !
- Thanks to geohot’s limera1n exploit, and our original pwnage2 exploit, and pod2g’s ipod2g-MC exploit, absolutely all devices at all iOS devices at all
- The untethered jailbreak of the very latest FWs and devices depends on @comex hacks. His hacks so far extend only to 4.1 and 4.2beta3. He’s working on a way to extend it to 4.2 and beyond. Just wait for him to work out his method.
- iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers will be covered by our upcoming unlock. Stay away from any updates to Apple FW until our official release and you’ll be okay. Just stay away from all Apple IPSWs :)
- iPhone4 unlockers are not left out in the cold. @sherif_hashim has found some very promising avenues to pursue. Those will be explored as soon as possible after all the 4.2 madness.
What does this mean to you?
- If you’re an unlocker, just stay where you are. Please, just stay where you are. Any mistakes you make now may be permanent.
- If you only care about the jailbreak, feel free to experiment but keep in mind that any mistake you make may result in you losing pictures or notes or bookmarks that you’d rather keep. Honestly unless you love living on the bleeding edge, it’s better to just wait for official updates from Cydia/redsn0w/PwnageTool.
- Don’t buy or donate to any unlock or jailbreak scammers. Every legitimate solution you will find for unlocks or jailbreaks will be offered without an extended hand. That’s how this community works. It’s about freedom, not donations.

Plex Arrives to Jailbroken Apple TV
Some hackers could port Plex client successfully on the new iOS based Apple TV. So from now on, after installing Plex on your jailbroken Apple TV, you can technically play any Plex content on your Apple TV (i.e. you can stream media from Plex server to your jailbroken Apple TV 2G.). To be able to do so, you need a jailbroken Apple TV, so you can use our guide posted here to jailbreak Apple TV 2G using PwnageTool then follow the instructions below as written on the forums.
Known IssuesHere's the video in action:
The Software so far is nothing more than a proof of concept, which isn't tested at all. However there are some known issues:
- "Local Servers" screen does only update when you press the up or down button on your remote
- Larger Sections timeout while they are loaded and do never show up
- Only Video playback is working (no music files, no images, no App-Management)
The following explains how you can install (and later on update) the plugin on your (Jailbroken) ATV. Use the software at your own risk and don't blame anyone except yourself if your ATV blows up in the process. Consider this the last warning!!!
Prepare the Media Server
Before you install the actual plugin you need to prepare the Plex Media Server (it needed some tweaks before it would talk to the ATV). Since those changes are considered ‘beta’, you need to tell your PMS to download beta plug-ins, by enetering the following URL in a Safari running on the same machine as the media server: http://localhost:324…s/set?AS_BETA=1
After that start Plex and check for updates in the PlexOnline section.
Enable a higher Quality (optional)
This part is optional, but if you feel like experimenting a lot, you might want to install a testing built of ffmpeg, that enables higher bitrates for the (currently) highest available quality (which is the only quality your ATV will use). This will also increase the image quality on other iOS devices, however you will need a potent Mac for the encoding! So If you still feel like installing use the following two commands in a Terminal on the Mac running your Media Server:
curl http://ambertation.de/downloads/PLEX/ffmpeg > ~/Downloads
/ffmpeg
cp ~/Downloads/ffmpeg ~/Library/Application\ Support/Plex/Plex
\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/
If you not use this, the plugin will still work, but the image-quality might not be on par with what you expect.
Install the Plugin
First off: you need to Jailbreak your Apple TV. I suggest you use the Pawnage method. For the sake of the following instruction I assume thet the IP-Address of your ATV is 169.10.11.12, and that you can log in using ssh.
- Start your ATV and log in to your ATV using ssh
ssh root@169.10.11.12
It will ask you for your password, which (if you did not change the default) is alpine. (I strongly suggest you change the password using the passwd command!!!)
- In that ssh session, you need to add new cydia sources using
echo "deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org ./" > /etc/apt
/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list
echo "deb http://www.ambertation.de ./downloads
/PLEX/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plex.list
- Now update your cydia database using
apt-get update
- Install the plugins (and its dependencies like beigelist by DHowett) with
apt-get install plex-client-plugin
- Restart the GUI and hope that it comes back
killall Lowtide
- If the UI does not come up again, you probably have to restore your ATV!

Apple is Removing Skyfire Web Browser from the App Store
It was just a couple of minutes when we reported about the release of Skyfire web browser for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The app works as a Flash player for iOS devices by converting Flash content into HTML5 and sending to your device to work as HTML5 content.
UPDATE 1: According to some Twitter followers, Skyfire is no more available in Australia, Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Portuguese, Spain, Norwegian.
UPDATE 2: Skyfire is not available in all countries world wide. Developers of Skyfire web browser explains what happened 'SOLD OUT':
Skyfire for iPhone has been received with unbelievable enthusiasm. Despite our best attempts and predictions, the demand far exceeds our initial projections.[Thanks everyone who sent this in]
The user experience was performing well for the first few hours, but as the surge continued, the peak load on our servers and bandwidth caused the video experience to degrade.
Thus we are effectively ‘sold out’ and will temporarily not accept new purchases from the App Store. We are working really hard to increase capacity and will be accepting new purchases from the App Store as soon as we can support it.

Jailbreak iOS 4.2 Untethered will be Available But Might be Delayed !
Early today, iOS 4.2 GM was seeded and we showed full how to guide to install it right now and jailbreak it using Redsn0w 0.9.6b2 but in case you followed our guides, you may noticed that Cydia is broken on iOS 4.2 so the jailbreak might be delayed until this problem is fixed, according to iPhone hacker comex. Among this bad news, there's other good news after the break.
However, a 4.2 jailbreak might be delayed because Cydia doesn't work on 4.2 yet. Not sure how close @chpwn is to finishing his fixes.If you are one of our readers, you may know that all jailbreak tools on the web are based on Limera1n's exploit with the untethered hacks that Apple caught in iOS 4.2 and all jailbreaks became tethered (i.e. you have to jailbreak your device every time your iPhone is rebooted). But comex has announced in a tweet that in case you saved SHSH blobs of iOS 4.1, you will be able to get untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2. So, go ahead right now and follow our guide posted here to save your device's SHSH blobs to be able to get untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.2 next week.
Anyone with blobs for 4.1 or earlier should be able to get an untethered 4.2 jailbreak; this is not done but is being actively worked on.[Thanks everyone who sent this in]

You can jailbreak your device using the existing jailbreak tools for all iOS devices on all iOSs in this post.
Chpwn: @2013btuttle1 I don't think it is needed at all. Use limerain greenpoison redsn0w -- all good options.
sheikhali: @chpwn Can we expect PT for Win to go live by the end of this week?

Now You can Manage your Gmail from your Hotmail !
Microsoft has included some extra features to Hotmail. The most exciting feature that you can now send email from your other addresses such as Yahoo and Gmail. Early today, Microsoft announced this new feature on their blog. Now you can send more email directly from your Hotmail by any of these addresses.
In the last few months, Microsoft added lots of new features to Hotmail trying to make it the best mail service. To use the new feature, you have to validate your account with other addresses and it will go well! The ability of sending emails directly from Hotmail was already available, but now they have made it more advance for the ease of their 350 Millions users.
Today we begin rolling out a feature that makes it easy to use Hotmail withany existing email address. Just as you can use Microsoft Outlook with an address from any service, you can now do the same with Hotmail on the web.
Implementing this was fairly straightforward given the architecture of Hotmail, our POP aggregation support, and the "Send As" feature that lets you send mail from any validated email address. We just needed to tweak the way we store and look up email addresses, build the first-run experience, and we had it.
This new feature is expanding to all users within days and it might take some time to reach hotmail users, but when it will be available, Hotmail will automatically send you an email guiding you how to use this new feature. Try it and tell us what do you think? [via Mashable]

Also keep in mind that iOS 4.2 should go public sometime next week, but who wants to wait? of course let us know if you faced any problems by commenting in the section below, we would love to hear from you!

Jailbreak iOS 4.2 GM on iPhone 4, iPod touch and iPad with Redsn0w
Few moments ago, Apple pushed iOS 4.2 Gold Master into Developers Center. The newly released Redsn0w 0.9.6 has been confirmed to jailbreak iOS 4.2 GM on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod touch 4G / 3G / 2G and iPad. So, if you have got your copy of iOS 4.2 GM, you will be able to jailbreak it using the instructions posted below.
Today Apple released to developers the GM seed for 4.2. Tinkerers will find that yesterday’s redsn0w jailbreaks today’s 4.2 GM seed, simply by pointing redsn0w at the 4.1 IPSW (rather than the 4.2 one). Right now it mostly only makes sense for JB app developers to do that because many apps (including Cydia itself) need to be updated for 4.2. However, if all you want to do is enable afc2 (to use iFunBox or other file browsers), or to tweak settings like Battery % and Homescreen wallpapers, then go for it (if you have valid paid access to the GM seed). Be sure to uncheck the Cydia box, though! Ultrasn0w unlockers should stay very far away from this!!
STEP 1: Download iOS 4.1 (required for jailbreak) and iOS 4.2 then connect your iOS device into your computer via USB and make sure that iTunes is not running.
STEP 2: Launch Redsn0w 0.9.6b2 and click Browse then point it to iOS 4.1 original firmware file NOT iOS 4.2.
STEP 3: Now select “Install Cydia” and hit the Next button to continue the process.
STEP 4: A prompt will appear to put the device in DFU mode. For this just follow the instructions appearing on the screen or hold Home + Power buttons at the same time for exactly 10 seconds and then release the power button while continuing to press home.
STEP 5: Congrats, now you can enjoy your jailbroken device.
Forgot to talk about the unlock, currently, there's no unlock for the new basebands of iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2 but it's expected to be released just after the public release of iOS 4.2 in few days. We'll keep you updated whenever iOS 4.2 is available followed by Ultrasn0w unlock.
