Why Apple Should Stop Its War Against Jailbreak ?

Last week we reported that Apple applied for a patent which designed to specify the jailbreaking and/or unlocking devices or removal of SIM card from a phone so the device will be disabled. Apple has also released a new iOS which only for patching the jailbreak hole, but the Dev-Team fired this back announcing that they will be able to disable the new patent.

I think Apple should stop wasting these big efforts in this war, Apple should ask,Why iDevices users interested in jailbreak? , the answer is that the jailbreak allow them to access to a growing number of apps which not supported by the App Store, specially (tethering and pron apps), but simply, just like tethering apps can be controlled by mitigating the tethering usage be AT&T or whatever the carrier is, with a metered data plans, also, when it comes to porn and anything else users could access, Apple can simply say "We don't support that garbage" maintain its policy that jailbreaking automatically void warranties.

Last reason of why Apple should stop its war against jailbreak is the revenues from the App Store which like a drop in the bucket compared to Apple's overall bottom line.which means that jailbreak (Cydia) will not affect Apple revenues.
Finally, after discussing these major items, I think it is quite logical that Apple shall stop the war against jailbreak. [via jkontherun]

Leaving reports about next generation iPod Touch with a square shape, access to 3G cellular networks and Apple's iTV that will change everything! Let's talk about something new, 9to5mac is reporting that iWatch may be introduced by Apple at the next Apple's event on Wednesday (September 1st). It is pretty much going to be screen, battery, System on Chip and some way to charge it.

In my opinion, if Apple will introduces iWatch next week, it will kill the iPod. In brief, Why people should buy a heavy iPod and put it somewhere in pockets to listen for music while running or studying Although iWatch may do this, in addition to a clock, handy worn, and lighter. All what I can say, Let's wait!

New and Cool Features Coming to TinyUmbrella in the Future

Notcom, the developer behind TinyUmbrella which lets you enable save the SHSH blob so you can downgrade,  has posted a new post showing really nice and cool features will be added to TinyUmbrella in the future. He didn't mention anything about the release time but it's probably not in the next update.

Here's the fixes:

• Device History: TinyUmbrella will remember device information of devices that have connected so that saving SHSH's for those devices in the future no longer requires you to connect the device.
• Save All SHSH's Available "On-File" at Cydia: TinyUmbrella will now automatically check Cydia for ALL SHSHs for the connected device (or device from history :) )
• TinyUmbrella will also help you detect what application is running on your computer that is taking up port 80 and will give you the option to kill that application. This should help many of you that don't know what application may be listening on port 80 (ie. Skype)
• TinyUmbrella will also tell you what firmware versions you can safely downgrade or restore to whenever you connect the device (or select a device from history)
• TinyUmbrella will be sporting a cleaner UI based on some of the great suggestions from @chpwn (a friend and fellow chronic dev team associate)
• Support for PowerPC and more stable runtime for folks having problems running TinyUmbrella for odd and various reasons.

Big ones:

• Activation Support: I've started looking into the way the phone requests (and obtains) activation from apple's servers. I'm confident I can duplicate this process but I have more investigation as the the process is incredibly complicated.
• Full Restore Support without iTunes: I'm looking at implementing my own complete restore mechanism. I have not decided if I'll directly use @p0sixninja's libirestore or whether I'll try to do something that hasn't been done before... ie in java :)

Stay tuned and we will keep you informed!

JailbreakMe.com is not Working? Here's a Quick Fix!

Well, Users were reporting that JailbreakMe userland jailbreak for iPhone 4 / 3GS on iOS 4.0.1 and iPad on iOS 3.2.1 is down. The reason for that is comex's poor servers, but there's an unexpected and quick fix for that.

All you need to do is to navigate to to http://jailbreakme.com/index.html instead of http://www.jailbreakme.com, See how simple is that? [Thanks to Chpwn for tip via Twitter]

Dev Team: No iOS 4.0.2 / iOS 3.2.2 Jailbreak, Wait for iOS 4.1

JailbreakMe was released few weeks ago to jailbreak iOS 4 / 4.0.1 on iPhone 4 / 3GS and iOS 3.2.1 on iPad. Comex discovered a security hole in Apple by installing Cydia on your device as PDF files, so Apple released iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone and iPod Touch, iOS 3.2.2 for iPad to fix PDF exploit . iPhone Dev Team said that there's no jailbreak for iOS 4.0.2 and iOS 3.2.2, just wait for iOS 4.1 to be released.

No, there won’t be. FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole. With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”.

If the cat & mouse game escalates too quickly, especially during beta FW periods, nobody but Apple benefits. For this reason, there won’t be a 4.0.2/3.2.2 jailbreak specifically during the period where 4.0.2/3.2.2 is the latest public release. At best, some future 4.1x FW jailbreak *may* be compatible with 4.0.2/3.2.2 (but don’t count on that).

Dev Team just wanted to tell users who updated to the latest iOS firmware and are stuck without a jailbreak, "don’t expect a jailbreak for iOS 4.0.2 / 3.2.2"

iOS 4.1 is still in beta, so they can't decide if they can jailbreak iOS 4.1 or it still not jailbroken. So we have to wait till iOS 4.1 released on September, can it be announced in Apple's special event on September 1st? or it's a musical event to announced iPod Touch 4G and iTV.

You can expect a jailbreak to be available after Apple pushes iOS 4.1 to public, You will be able to jailbreak with JailbreakMe again if you have your iOS 4.0.1 SHSH blobs saved, or you will have to wait longer!

Recently Apple pushed out iOS 4.0.2, a useless fix for the PDF Exploit used in the 4.0.1 Jailbreak.

Apple Applied for a Patent to Disable Jailbroken Devices

U.S. Corts already made Jailbreaking and Unlocking iPhone fully legal, But Apple will still fight jailbreaking by upgrading iOS devices to kill the jailbreak, Not only that! Today, Apple has applied for a patent titled "Systems and Methods for Identifying Unauthorized Users of an Electronic Device", which will allow it to remotely disable an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch if it detects any unauthorized activity such as hacking, jailbreaking or unlocking the iOS-based device.

Ars Technica posts:

The patent, titled "Systems and Methods for Identifying Unauthorized Users of an Electronic Device," describes several ways a device could sense who is using an iPhone or iPad. Among the methods considered are voice print analysis, photo analysis, heartbeat analysis (!), hacking attempts, or even "noting particular activities that can indicate suspicious behavior."
The device could automatically snap pictures of the unauthorized user and record the GPS coordinates of the device, as well as log keystrokes, phone calls, or other activity.
Once an unauthorized user is detected, the device can then automatically disable certain features or send notifications to Twitter or other services.

They didn't mention anything about jailbreaking, but they mentioned "hacking attempts", Good move Apple! So will you still jailbreaking? Or Apple will really stops you from jailbreaking and unlocking iDevices?

How to Save SHSH Blobs (ECID SHSH) of iOS 4

What's ECID SHSH?
ECID SHSH is a unique signature which is checked against Apple servers whenever you decide to restore the firmware on any of your Device. Once a new firmware is released, Apple stops signing the older firmware, hence making it impossible to restore back to the older firmware from iTunes.

And Why Should I Save SHSH Blobs?
By Using a SHSH blob, you can downgrade or restore back to the older firmware. This is important because if you don’t have your SHSH blob saved, and accidently update to new firmware, you’ll loose your jailbreak and furthermore, you wont be able to downgrade back to older firmware to re-jailbreak your device.

Procedures:

Step 1: Download TinyUmbrella 4.02.04 Here
Step 2: Make sure you are running iTunes on your Device.
Step 3: Now Connect your Device to Computer via USB
Step 4: Launch TinyUmbrella and Click on Save SHSH, Now your SHSH blob will be saved on Cydia Server by default or on your computer if you have chosen to.

Apple Adds “Compare Macs” Option in Apple Store

Yesterday, Apple Store was down and we didn't notice that it was back up! Apple added a new feature in the app store known as “Compare Macs” in which you can compare any mac with another one by comparing price, tech specs, software and  the environmental report.

To try the new “Compare Macs” feature, just select the Mac you want to compare and hit "Compare" button at the end or navigate your browser to this direct link to get a list of all Macs and compare between them! [via MacStories]

R.I.P. - 4.0.1 / 3.2.1 iOS

Apple has stopped signing 4.0.1 and 3.2.1 SHSH requests for all devices now. If you missed your chance - I'm sorry. There's nothing that can be done now. If you had a 'Pending TSS Request' and DID NOT use TinyUmbrella to save your SHSH then I'm afraid you may not have your SHSH's saved on Cydia.
