    Untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak for non-A5 devices is now up. I’ll be putting a How to tutorial soon.

    Many of you have already been following @pod2g’s blog where he’s been keeping everyone up to date on his progress.  A few days ago, @pod2g gave the untether to both the iPhone devteam and the chronic devteam.  The teams put it into redsn0w 0.9.10 and PwnageTool, and the chronic devteam put it into a Cydia package (the same set of exploits is in all three).

    Here are the basic steps for how to get it:

    • The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G
    • If you have one of those devices and are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now!  The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1  If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW!  Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
    • If you’re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect “Install Cydia” if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam.  The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.
    • Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration.  If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup!  You will most likely get into a reboot cycle.  Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.

    @pod2g is now looking for a way to extend this to A5 devices.  Because those devices cannot use geohot’s limera1n exploit to inject the untether, they require exploits above and beyond those used for this release.  Keep following pod2g on twitter or his blog for any progress reports!

  • Nuance Voice Technology Baked into iOS 5

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, iPad, iPhone, Jailbreak, News, Rants & Raves, Tech. No Responses

    In the days leading up to WWDC 2011, Nuance integration got enough speculations for a possible presence in Apples iOS 5. Now Developer and Hacker Chronic seems to have got his hands on iOS 5 build with internal settings — hidden from public, as he tweeted a series of screenshots for what might be settings for testing and troubleshooting. Some of these screenshots show what looks like Nuance voice recognition baked into the iOS.

    The screenshots show some options like “mic on space key”, “auto-record input” and “Nuance dictation”, which seem to suggest Apple has been testing ways to integrate additional buttons in the default iPhone keyboard to let users speak and have text transcribed on screen.

    Although these settings look interesting, no Nuance announcement in WWDC and everything may be unveiled in fall with iPhone 5 keynote, though.

    First of all you need to have a clean iOS 4.2.1 installation before you run Greenpois0n jailbreak tool.

    PROBLEM 1: Stuck due to “Greenpois0n initialized” error.

    SOLUTION: Simply just download “Greenpois0n RC5_2“

    PROBLEM 2: While installing Cydia, Greenpois0n Loader crashed.

    SOLUTION: The Greenpois0n Loader will only work when greenpois0n.com website will come online. The site is down because too many visitors tried to access it and the web server is unable to handle that amount of requests. It will be live very soon. Till that time you can follow below steps after jailbreaking using greenpois0n. You have to use Redsn0w to install Cydia after using Greenpois0n.

    1. Switch off your iDevice and open Redsn0w 0.9.7b6.
    2. The only option that should be checked is ‘Install Cydia’.
    3. Follow the instructions to in Cydia and thats it.

    PROBLEM 3: Using Greenpois0n to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 results in the “FAILED” Error

    SOLUTION:

    1. You must use Greenpois0n RC5_2
    2. Your iDevice must be connected to your MAC.
    3. Open the TERMINAL, type in ‘cd Desktop’ (without quotes) and press Enter.
    4. Now type in ‘open Greenpois0n.app/Contents/MacOS/greenpois0n’ (without quotes) and press Enter. It will result in a new window and Greenpois0n will be started.
    5. Follow the self explanatory instructions to put your device in DFU mode. The jailbreak process will start.
    6. After it is jailbroken, a greenpois0n Loader will be there now. This is to let you install Cydia.

    If the loader is crashed or not appearing etc. Follow the steps below.

    1. Switch off your iDevice and open Redsn0w 0.9.7b6.
    2. The only option that should be checked is ‘Install Cydia’.
    3. Follow the instructions to in Cydia and thats it.

    PROBLEM 4: The screen of iDevice goes blank after jailbreaking. Still in DFU mode.

    SOLUTION: You have to leave your device as it is for almost 2 minutes. Now press and keep on holding the home and power button simultaneously for almost 10 to 15 seconds until your device boots normally.

    PROBLEM 5: Errors: Unable to find fs_mount, Unable to find fs_unmount ,Unable to find fs_load_file

    SOLUTION: Properly connect your iDevice. You must have your device ‘Switched Off’ when you connect, otherwise these errors will come.

    PROBLEM 6: When i launch Greenpois0n tool, it opens and closes immediately

    SOLUTION: Reason is that the Greenpois0n RC5 tool by default do not run on Mac OS X 10.5.x (till now). It tries to access version 6.0.0 of libcurl.4.dylib but as you are trying to run it on the 5.0.0, so it closes immediately. You can fix this by doing:

    1. Download file from the link libcurl.4.dylib v6.0.0
    2. Unzip the downloaded file.
    3. Now run the Terminal.app
    4. Type in the prompt: “sudo rm /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib” (without quotes)
    5. Enter the password and press Enter.
    6. Type in the prompt: “sudo cp ~/Downloads/libcurl.4.dylib /usr/lib” (without quotes)
    7. Now close the Terminal.app and Run the greenpois0n tool via
