Jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

The iPhone Dev-Team recently has released a new version of RedSn0w for Mac and Windows.  RedSn0w uses the Limera1n exploit to support more devices and adds the ability to restore custom firmware ipsws. The crew promises that now RedSn0w will work with the iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, iPad, iPod 2G, 3G, and 4G (Not iPod 2G-MC yet).

You can download RedSn0w 0.9.6b2 from 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.

It seams that hackers have had their hands on the iOS 4.2 beta 3 for iPad. But, as we know, there is no official jailbreak for it. Recently the well-known iOS hacker posted aт interesting picture in Tweeter. The shot depicts an iPad running MobileTerminal, a jailbreak application, which gives users full access to the terminal command line interface. But it looks strange, because it means that the hackers missed the beta 4, which should be released this past Tuesday, according to the Apple’s schedule. This could signal that Apple may skip beta 4 altogether and go straight to a GM build sometime next week.

Just a day after PwnageTool 4.1.1 release, DevTeam created one more update for popular jailbreak utility – PwnageTool 4.1.2 for Mac OS X. This release should solve some problems that users had.
