If you haven’t heard by now, a kid started taking over jailbroken iPhones in the Netherlands. The exploit is really simple, but just goes to show why lots of jailbreakers have no idea what they are doing. The very first thing you should do, following the jailbreak install, is change all the passwords on your [...]
I’m a Jailbreaker, I admit it. I can’t imagine having an iPhone without it being Jailbroken. I’ve tried, twice, and the iPhone without all the possibilities of Jailbreaking just isn’t that useful for me. Having said that, Apple’s latest attempt to stop Jailbreaking on the 3Gs shows they are beginning to take jailbreaking seriously. Apple [...]
I had a bit of a fiasco with jailbreaking to 3.1.2 last night. For the first time ever, my iPhone would not activate after the jailbreak. At first I didn’t notice it, since it was connected through Wi-Fi, but about an hour in to getting everything set back up, I noticed that I had no [...]
I’ve been trying to remember how to do this for a couple of days, since I realized I’m almost out of free space on the root partition of my iPhone. Starting with the 2.0 firmware, Apple changed the root partition from 300mb to 500mb, in order to handle the changes to the firmware. However, they [...]
By now, we’ve all heard about the iPhone SMS hack. Once again, Jailbreak users are ahead of the curve, and have a solution.
If you’re using a jailbroken iPhone then you can SSH to your iPhone, navigate to the Applications directory and then remove all permissions from MobileSMS.app. This prevents SMS application from running on the [...]
If you’re like me, and you’ve been running the BossPref Keyboard hack, then the new keyboard Auto-Correction features in firmware 2.2 don’t work. No matter what you try, enabling and disabling the autocorrect feature under settings seems to do absolutely nothing, even after uninstalling the SBSettings KB autocorrect. After a little bit of digging around [...]
The ability to make Webclips (or url links on the iPhone springboard) is yet another one of the nice features of the iPhone. However, the lack of control over the icon, and the positioning of the web page upon re-launch of the page has always frustrated me. Back in August, I explained how to make [...]
If you’re like me, you hate the way that the iPhone makes icons for WebClips. When you save a bookmark to your Home Screen, you want it to either match your theme, or at least not look like a silly small version of the web site. Here’s a trick for Jailbreak and non-Jailbreak users to [...]
After a full week of both App Store and Jailbreak Apps, here’s where I stand. There is no going back. As I said before, the iPhone without Jailbreak is not an iPhone. Though apps are only beginning to trickle in through Cydia, and hopefully Installer 4 in the near future, the apps on the App [...]
Ok, so I finally upgraded to firmware 2.0 after the iPhone dev team released Pwnage 2.0 last night. Here’s my initial thoughts:
The reason I liked ZiPhone was because it required no DFU mode. If you’ve never dealt with the whole DFU mode, you’re lucky, because it sucks. There are several really good videos on YouTube [...]
