We had heard some rumors about the possibility of a new development team working on releasing a new SIM interposer solution similar to the popular Gevey SIM. This would provide iPhone 4S users with the elusive unlock if it was to surface. If the recent video released on YouTube by the folks over at ApplenBerry is true, it would seem that the release of the new Gevey Ultra S will eventually provide unlock satisfaction to the owners of a GSM iPhone 4S.

The video demonstrates the team installing a SIM card in an iPhone 4S using the new Gevey Ultra S interposer. This allows previously unavailable network connections to be made on an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 with modern firmware versions 1.0.11, 1.0.13, and 1.0.14.

This guide is for Mac only and will teach you how to jailbreak various iOS devices using the newly released tool, Absinthe. The current version of Absinthe is 0.3. It should be noted that this is an UNTETHERED JAILBREAK, meaning that you will be able to reboot your phone just like you normally would at any time.

This guide should be used with the following device/firmware combinations:

It should also be noted that the team that put this jailbreak together included both Saurik and MuscleNerd, both of which are core members of the iPhone Dev Team; three members of the Chronic Dev Team including posixninja, pod2g, and nikias; and the legendary planetbeing, who is the iOS hacker/developer who is responsible for initially porting both Android and Linux to the iPhone) is accepting donations. Feel free to donate via PayPal if you want to show some support.

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING:

Absinthe create a backup and restores it onto your device as part of the way it gets files on the device, so we recommend the device is mostly empty when you start the process. To do this, it is advised to create a backup in in iTunes first (connect to iTunes and sync). If you are using iCloud to backup, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Backup Now.

Once you have backed up, on your device go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. As mentioned, make sure you have a backup of your content first. You don’t need to Erase All Content and Settings if you don’t want to, but the jailbreak could take up to 20-30 minutes to complete if you don’t, depending on your device that is.

Follow the steps below to successfully jailbreak your iOS device:

  1. Download the Windows version of Absinthe 0.3 from the following link (http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-mac-0.3.zip)
  2. Once downloaded, double click the zip file to unzip it if your browser didn’t already automatically unzip the file.
  3. (Make sure your device is connected first) Double-click Absinthe to launch it and you will see the Absinthe home screen. Absinthe at this point should tell you what device and firmware version is detected.
  4. Press the jailbreak button. Once you do this, Absinthe will go through a few status messages while it jailbreaks your device. It will stop for a bit at Waiting for reboot – not done yet, don’t unplug your device yet!
  5. Once the device has finished rebooting, it will continue the jailbreak. During this process, do not touch or unplug your iOS device.
  6. Once the process has finished in Absinthe, it will alert you to unlock the screen if necessary and tap “Absinthe” icon to finish the jailbreak. Remember, the icon may not be on the first pay, so you might have to scroll to find it.
  7. Tapping the icon will bring up a webview with a white page, and then your device will restart. Just a quick note: If you see an “Error establishing database connection” error or a white screen, which lasts longer than 1 minute, please go to Settings and turn on VPN, and wait instead. The VPN connection will give an error (which is normal). At this point, a reboot should happen a few moments after the error.
  8. You will see the Apple logo with a progress bar quickly as the device restarts and then your device will power back on. Just a quick note: The Set Up iPhone (or iPad) GUI you see when you restore an iOS Device will now appear. If you backed up with iCloud at the beginning of this tutorial, please choose Restore from iCloud Backup in the Set Up iPhone GUI, and restore from the backup you took at the beginning of this guide. The iDevice will then restore from backup, reboot, and you’re good to go.
  9. Cydia is now on your device where the Absinthe icon was before!

Boom! You’re now holding a jailbreak iOS device!

iFaith 1.4 Released – Downgrade From iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.0 (Requires iOS 5.0 APticket)

First and foremost, for those of you who are on iOS 5.0.1 already, you are out of luck. Now those of you who are still on iOS 5.0, you can now save not only your SHSH blobs but also your APtickets, which are used in Apple’s new firmware verification process. What exactly does this mean? It means that if you are on iOS 5.0 right now, and for some reason you need to restore (it updates to iOS 5.0.1) then you can have the option to downgrade back to iOS 5.0 granted you have used iFaith to save your APticket before you restored.

It should be noted that if you are on iOS 5.0.1 already, you CANNOT downgrade to iOS 5.0.

This is mainly for people who have saved their APtickets on iOS 5.0 as they will be the only ones who can downgrade back from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.0.

Detailed Information

An APticket is a piece of information, almost like a screenshot. When you use Apple’s iOS 5.0 firmware, your device has an APticket saved for iOS 5.0. When you update to iOS 5.0.1, our APticket changes to an iOS 5.0.1 APticket. This is how Apple keeps you from downgrading.

By using iFaith, you can not only save your SHSH blobs, but also your current iOS 5.0 APticket. This allows you to use the APticket you had for iOS 5.0 to downgrade back to iOS 5.0 from iOS 5.0.1 since your iOS 5.0 APticket is still valid. Now if you don’t save your APticket when you are on iOS 5.0, ten your new APticket is the one given to you by iOS 5.0.1, which means that you don’t have an APticket for iOS 5.0. Since you don’t have one, you cannot downgrade back to iOS 5.0 from iOS 5.0.1. In this case, iOS 5.0.1 would be the lowest you could go.

Currently, iFaith only supports Windows, as iH8sn0w is a Windows user himself. He is also the famous developer behind Sn0wbreeze, which is the Windows-only jailbreak tool. At this point in time, there isn’t any information regarding a Mac version and its release.

We recommend dumping your SHSH and APtickets if you’re on iOS 5.0. It will give you the option to downgrade back to iOS 5.0 anytime after you have used the software utility.

Bypass Jailbreak Detection Found in Apps With xCon

Since Apple introduced an API in iOS that detects jailbroken iOS devices, developers have been using it to prevent users who have jailbroken their iOS devices, developers have been using it to prevent users who have jailbroken their iOS devices from using their apps. Typically these users are greeted with the following error message: “Jailbreak detected. App cannot run on a jailbroken device” when they launch such apps.

The jailbreak detection has been found in apps such as Bloomberg Anywhere, Cablevision, Cisco M-Learning, DirecTV for iPad, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Time Warner Cable, Verizon On Demand /FlexView etc. Cable companies such as Cablevision and Time Warner that allow their apps to be used only over home Wi-Fi network are paranoid that users who have jailbroken their iOS device could use their jailbreak tweaks such as My3G that enable 3G for “Wi-Fi Only” apps and use their apps while on the go. This is what has lead them to have taken the extreme step of preventing jailbroken iOS device users from using their apps.

This is going to be harder though since the iOS hacker, n00neimp0rtant recently created a jailbreak tweak called xCon which bypasses jailbreak detection in apps. It allows you to use the apps that currently prevent jailbroken iOS device users from using. The tweak apparently works by sandboxing the apps into its own memory space allowing you to use them without a jailbreak being detected.

If you want any other app to be supported then send an email to the developer at the following email address: n00neimp0rtant@me.com. The jailbreak tweak is available in Cydia for free.

TinyUmbrella v5.01.00 Released – Save iOS 5.0.1 SHSH Blobs

Even for those of you who aren’t jailbreakers,  TinyUmbrella is a great little app that allows you to save your iPhone, iPod touch or iPads SHSH blob files locally. Some of you may be wondering what SHSH blobs are and what the purpose of saving them might be. It is quite simple, if you have your blob files stored locally, you can downgrade your iDevice to an earlier version of iOS; useful if your iPhone gets hit with a bug in the latest version of iOS, or an app you can’t live without stops working.

If you are running iOS 5.0.1, you might want to head on by TinyUmbrella’s official website and grab the latest version: it’s been updated to save the latest version’s SHSH blob files. @notcom (the developer of Tiny Umbrella) did mention one caveat though: Even though you can store an iPhone 4S’s blob files locally with the new version of Tiny Umbrella, there’s no known way to restore them – so don’t expect to be downgrading your iPhone 4S anytime soon.

Even though there is still no working solution for restoring 5.x on iPhone 4S I have released a 5.01.00 so you can at least save 5.0.1 SHSH. I have added tentative support for at least saving 5.0.1 SHSHs for iPhone 4S but as of now we are unable to use them fully. As soon as more information is available I will update.

Still, we recommend saving them as they might come in handy in the future and they only take a few seconds to save!

For those of you who are not on an iPhone 4S and managed to save your iOS 5.0 SHSH blob, you can downgrade from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.0. To do so, follow the steps here.

  • Download Tiny Umbrella v5.01.00 (Windows)

Downgrade iOS 5.0.1 To iOS 5.0 With Saved SHSH

by admin in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Apple recently released iOS 5.0.1 and the jailbreak community has been advised to not upgrade. Pod2g recently found an exploit that may help to provide an untethered jailbreak and this exploit is patched on iOS 5.0.1. If you like many are seeking to use an untethered jailbreak, it would be wise to stay on iOS 5.0 because thats where the untethered jailbreak will be. For those of you who accidentally upgraded or unknowingly upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 you may be wondering how to downgrade back to iOS 5.0. In this case, you may downgrade if you have an SHSH previously saved. To do so, follow the procedure outlined below:

Required Files and Software

Downgrade iOS 5.0.1 To iOS 5.0 With Saved SHSH

  1. Connect your iPhone to your computer and open TinyUmbrella.
  2. Click on Save SHSH (the iOS 5 SHSH will only show if you have it saved previously). Once saved, close TinyUmbrella.
  3. Open RedSn0w 0.9.9b8 and go to Extras > SHSH Blobs > then click Submit (it will open a window). Here, browse to the Saved SHSH file (which is in the directory C:/User/Acount Name/.shsh folder. (the saved SHSH file for iOS 5.0)
  4. After submitting it, you will see the Blobs Submission Report.
  5. Now click on Stitch, give it the same SHSH file (which you previously submitted) and give the SHSH file, then the iOS 5.0 IPSW file. Wait for it to complete.
  6. Now open TinyUmbrella and go to the Advanced tab. Here, check all the boxes and then close it.
  7. Now restore the Stitched IPSW file with iTunes in DFU mode.

Voila – you’re done! At this point we would recommend staying on iOS 5.0 and waiting for further news from the jailbreak community devs.

For those of you who do NOT have an SHSH file saved, you are currently out of luck. If you are on iOS 5.0.1, your current option is to jailbreak utilizing RedSn0w 0.9.9b8 or Sn0wbreeze 2.8b11. This jailbreak will be a tethered jailbreak, which means that you will have to connect your iOS device to your computer and “just boot” utilizing the software for every time you need to boot. You can download BigBoss’s Semi-Tether package from Cydia to help ease the pain of a tethered jailbreak. The Semi-Tether allows you to boot your iOS device and use all the stock applications until you can “just boot” with your computer as opposed to being stuck on the boot logo. As of right now, it is a decent alternative to allow you to use your iOS device for main functions.
