The biggest issue that comes with updating the iOS on the Apple iPhone, iPad or the iPod Touch is with downgrading to the previous version. I am talking about the SHSH blob in particular.

SHSH blob is a signature file on your iOS device that is verified against the servers at Apple to ensure if the device is running the latest version of the iOS. Fret not, there is a new Cydia app that enables you to save these blobs, though we have already talked about how to save SHSH previously with Tiny Umbrella. Read More »

image thumb86 Facebook Mobile Coming Out Next Week? Expect Anything At The Facebook Mobile Event On November 3 [But Please Not Another Smartphone!]

Facebook Mobile might be in the making! If this rumor is by any means true, I guess it is decided that every big firm is following the donkey path out there. Apple made it big with its iOS devices in the form of the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. Google extended further from being the Web giant to taking over the mobile scene with its Android Platform, Microsoft too getting their butt kicked to totally revamp their Windows Mobile to Windows Phone 7,. bringing in a much refined product. Oh and I almost forgot the Android Tablet to compete the iPad, RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook and what not.

How To Jailbreak iOS 4.1 With PwnageTool 4.1 [7 Step Guide]

Posted October 20, 2010 by Sardar Mohkim Khan

image thumb59 How To Jailbreak iOS 4.1 With PwnageTool 4.1 [7 Step Guide]

We reported of the PwnageTool 4.1 coming for the Macs to jailbreak Apple TV 2G and the iPhone 4 earlier last week. Guess what, the dev team did release the jailbreak tool to enable users to zip a custom firmware on the second generation of the Apple TV.

From the official site, it is mentioned clearly that this jailbreak is very new on the Apple TV and users wont be able to do much except utilize the command line methodology using the SSH. Other than that they have also inducted the afc2 that would enable you to make use of utilities like ifunbox to move files across on the device. Given this is just the beginning, I bet the developers of the jailbreak community will be in full swing to figure out how else can they utilize the JB and do something beyond command line on the device.
