Jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

The iPhone Dev-Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.8b3 which can perform a tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.4. This means that you will have to connect your device to a computer and run redsn0w each time you restart.

For the convenience of kernel hackers like @comex and @i0n1c, we have a new redsn0w 0.9.8b3 that supports a TETHERED jailbreak for iOS 4.3.4 on all devices that have 4.3.4 except the iPad2. The vast majority of people will want to stay back at 4.3.3 because that’s where the untethered jailbreak is! There are no new features in 4.3.4 – only fixes for jailbreak exploits.

Also, this is a good time to remind everyone (since we’re still seeing confusion about this): iPad2 owners with a baseband (3G or CDMA) cannot currently use saved blobs to go back to 4.3.3 once the signing window is closed. This is unlike every other device, so don’t be confused! iPad2 owners with basebands should stay away from all updates to maintain your jailbreak!

This jailbreak works with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G. It does not work with iPad 2.

Those wondering, the jailbreakme exploit
cannot be integrated into applications
such as PwnageTool/redsn0w/sn0wbreeze.
---------------------------------------------
redsn0w seems to be having sandbox errors
due to it using the old b1 kernel.
I and many others have not seen any issues
with sn0wbreeze related to AppStore apps.
If you prefer to use redsn0w, I am sure
@MuscleNerd is working on a fix.

iOS 5 beta 3 is jailbreakable by RedSn0w 0.9.8 b1. DevTeam hacker MuscleNerd has confirmed that the RedSn0w 0.9.8 b1 jailbreak works on recently released iOS 5 Beta 3. All you have to do is to point it to a downloaded iOS 5 beta 1 firmware ipsw.

Today’s 5.0b3 can be jailbroken with last month’s redsn0w http://is.gd/6eek4Y (point it at 5.0b1 IPSW..devs only please!)

RedSn0w 0.9.8 b1 jailbreak works on all devices, exect iPad 2. This means you can get a tethered jailbreak on Windows and Mac OS for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G and iPad 1.

You can download RedSn0w 0.9.8 b1 for Windows and Mac OS here.

Mike Pan has successfully modified his iPhone 3GS and now it can record HD video at 1080x800px with 30 frames per second and up to 20Mbps! The original ability of this handset is 640x480px at 3 Mbps. Mike used the non-standard resolution so the video could be kept at the right aspect ratio.

So here is a short instruction how to enable HD-video recording on your iPhone 3GS with firmware 4.1 (as other firmwares haven’t been tested yet):

1. Download HDVideo3GS.zip.
2. Jailbreak your device and install SSH.
3. Copy N88AP.plist to /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/
4. Copy the 3 other plist-files to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Celestial.framework/N88/
5. Reboot your iPhone 3GS

Some features:

• Low light capability cannot be enhanced, so dark areas will still have grains.
• In case you want to send the recorded HD-video to YouTube in its original quality, use Pixelpipe from the App Store.
• The maximum shutter duration has been increased so now you can take photos even in dark areas, but a steady surface or tripod is highly recommended.

Mike promises to release an app in cydia so that the procedure could be even simpler. For those who’d like to understand how he did it, he posted a detailed instruction here.
