itunes Prevent iTunes from Updating Jailbroken Devices

iTunes continues to serve iOS updates even if your Apple’s device was jailbroken. And if these updates are downloaded and installed occasionally, your device may be returned to  a non-jailbroken state.  Here the script, which prevents iTunes from automatically downloading updates:

#!/bin/bash
clear
echo “This script will chmod the download locations for Firmware Files, So iTunes can not download firmware.”
echo “AKA it will prevent iTunes from auto updating your device.”
echo “”
echo “”
echo “To restore firmware just hold down option and manually select the firmware file.”
echo “”
clear
echo “Made By: Wesley K”
echo “wesley@wesleyk.me”
echo “http://wesleyk.me”
echo “http://wesleyk.me/twitter
sleep 2
read -sn 1 -p “Press any key to continue…”
clear
echo “Now I need your password to continue”
echo “Killing iTunes now”
sudo -v
sudo killall -9 iTunes
sleep 2
clear

echo “Im going to make all the folder needed to future proof a few things”
echo “If errors occur here, No big deals.”
sudo mkdir ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/
sudo mkdir ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
sudo mkdir ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/
sleep 2
clear

echo “I am going to dump all the current files in your update folders.”
echo “This will prevent any updates from downloaded firmware.”
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/*
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/*
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/*
sleep 2
clear

echo “Now preventing iTunes from downloading new firmwares.”
sudo chmod 444 ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
sudo chmod 444 ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
sudo chmod 444 ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
sleep 2
clear

echo “Made By Wesley K”
echo “Give me credit if you use it”
echo “For safe measures I would run this script after iTunes updates, It shouldn’t affect it but I don’t know yet.”

To use it, just copy and paste the script into TextEdit: TextEdit → Format →  Plain Text. Save the file wherever you want as blockitunesupdates.sh. Open up a terminal window and type chmod +x filepath, where filepath is the path to the script. To start it, drag the script file into a Terminal window, push Enter, and follow the instructions.

If you update iTunes, OS X, or repair disk permissions with Disk Utility, you may need to perform the above described procedure again to make sure iTunes stays blocked. If you want to lock the script, replace the three 444s in the script with 555 and run it again.

ra1ndrop iPhone iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Released from GeoHot, called LimeRa1n

Famous hacker Geohot is back and today he released the latest iOS 4.1 jailbreak. It is called LimeRa1n and supports iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G with iOS firmwares 4.0-4.1 and beyond. It can also hacktivate your device, so there is no need in phone SIM-cards and other tricks.

This software is still in beta and was updated 3 times in last several hours. So use with caution.

There is Windows version only for now. Geohot plans to release LimeRa1n for Mac and Linux soon. You can Download it here.

Some users report that they have jailbroken their iOS 3.2.2 iPads successfully with limera1n, while others report that they tried, but failed.

Do not forget to backup.

For many users of iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0.2 now there is a hope to perform jailbreak using LimeRa1n and unlock using ultrasn0w. We recommend NOT to do it if you have not saved your SHSH keys. You can try, but if something goes wrong without SHSH keys you’ll have to restore to iOS 4.1, and there is no unlock for iOS 4.1 (possibly forever). Just wait for PwnageTool utility.

DevTeam reported that Limera1n uses a different exploit than SHAtter, so they will not release SHAtter utility, they don’t want let Apple fix both security holes. However they plan to release PwnageTool using the same exploit.

limetime 400x245 iPhone iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Released from GeoHot, called LimeRa1n

Known bugs:

  • some people must reboot to see Cydia
  • beta iOS versions aren’t supported
  • iPod Touch 2G support coming soon
  • for iPhone 3G use redsn0w 0.9.6 b1

Here’s a quick changelog of recent beta releases:

  • BETA1 – first release
  • BETA2 – fixed kernel patching magic, rerun BETA2+ over BETA1
  • BETA3 – fixed new bootrom 3GS
  • BETA4 – uninstall fixed, respring fixedish

redsn0w 0 9 6 b1 370x400 Jailbreak iOS 4.1 with RedSn0w 0.9.6 b1 is now available for Windows

RedSn0w 0.9.6 b1 for Mac OS X was released a while ago. Today DevTeam created a version for Windows users. RedSn0w 0.9.6 b1 can jailbreak iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.1 running on iPhone 3G or iPod touch 2G.

You can download it here.

Redsn0w is easy to use:

  1. Download firmware here.
  2. Launch redsn0w 0.9.6 b1
  3. Select your stock 4.1 or 4.0 ipsw (you’ve already used this to update your device to 4.1 or 4.0)
  4. Select “Install Cydia” and any of the other options shown above, then click “Next”. Use DFU mode to install the jailbreak.

This is still beta, so there might be some problems:

Any Windows users seeing “Waiting for reboot” for too long (more than 20 seconds or so), please try “shaking” the JB process by unplugging then replugging your USB cable (while letting redsn0w continue to run). Also, try using a USB port “closer” to your computer (as opposed to on your monitor or behind another hub).

As usual DevTeam reminds us:

IF YOU USE THE ULTRASN0W UNLOCK, PLEASE WAIT FOR PWNAGETOOL TO SUPPORT 4.1. DO NOT USE REDSN0W

That’s because to use redsn0w at 4.1, you need to already have updated to official 4.1 from Apple. If you do that, you lose the ultrasn0w unlock (possibly forever).

 HowTo display iPad on an external monitor

Have you ever wanted to display something on your iPad to external big screen? Here’s a quick video tutorial how to do that:

I’d use jailbreakme.com instead of Spirit to jailbreak the iPad.

WhiteiPhone4 205x300 White iPhone 4 Unboxed! Video!It seems the device is the latest version of the white iPhone 4, which is officially scheduled for release in the end of this year. “Some people believe that this may be one of those devices that have been destroyed by Apple in the last minute after the discovery of defects of white color that have been found.” Check out

With the white iPhone Apple had some difficulties while its production. Its release has been delayed already twice, and there is still no exact release date. We hope that most of the issues associated with the “color” and “light leakage” are being solved right now, so that we can get it much sooner rather than later.

JustinLongJailbrokeniPhone 300x184 Justin Long Has a Jailbroken iPhone During Jimmy Kimmel’s live show Justin Long picked up his iPhone to share some interesting SMS he had. Meanwhile he also showed Cydia on his iPhone’s main screen. For those of you who do not know anything about this man, Justin Long is the very guy who starred in the most popular and successful commercials called “Get a Mac” by Apple, which appeared between 2006-2009 years.

Now that he no longer works with Apple, he is not afraid to break the rules of his former employer. By the way, today jailbreaking is fully legal in the USA, is not it?

T1000 300x208 iPhone 5 to Be Made of Liquid Metal, à la T 1000 from Terminator 2?Do you remember the robot called T-1000 Skynet made of liquid metal in the film Terminator 2? It seems that Steve Jobs decided to create devices of next generation using Liquidmetal Technologies, a California company from which Apple has recently acquired the exclusive rights for creation of liquid metal alloy products.

One of the best and most distinctive factors in all Apple products is how this company produces its own devices, the quality of production, as well as the materials used, which, undoubtedly, have first-class quality.

Now that Apple has the exclusive rights to create products of the liquid metal, we can assume that it has no plans to create a robot for the next Terminator movie, but probably will use it for such devices as iMac, iPad and iPhone of the next generation in order to be one step ahead of its competitors.

ipad jailbreak Users continue iPhone 4 and iPad jailbreaking in Apple Stores

That was funny when people started jailbreaking iPhone’s inside Apple Stores. The fun ended because stores started banning jailbreakme.com from their WiFi networks. Well, it looks like it didn’t help.

One Apple fan published a video where he jailbreaks iPad by using his Nexus One’s mobile hotspot capabilities. Take a look at the video after the break:
