Thanks to everybody involved in this jailbreak ….

TU supports iPhone 4S 9A406 – Sorry for the delay. Small oversight…

From the blog post of Semaphore

Although we cannot exploit/restore iPhone 4S SHSHs we still should save them just in case. I’ve just updated TU to support iPhone 4S 5.0.1b “9A406″.

 

Today the tool to save SHSH blobs also got updated to save the SHSH Blobs for iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) for iPhone 4S. We can now only save the SHSH Blobs of iPhone 4S with the help of Tiny Umbrella, but we cannot restore to the iOS 5.0.1 of iPhone 4S because it is not yet vulnerable to any exploit.

It is good to save the SHSH blobs for iPhone 4S for now because the iOS 5.1 is around the corner and it might come some time today or within this week. The iOS 5.1 beta 2 was released 2 weeks back ago aiming to fix the battery issues on iPhone 4S.

Yes, upgrade your 4S and iPad 2 to 5.0.1.

Few minutes back pod2g tweeted about the status of the untethered jailbreak of iOS 5.0.1 for iPhone 4S and iPad 2. According to him that the jailbreak will release next week for iPhone 4S, the first one for it and second for iPad 2.

It took a bit of time to get over the A5 chip but the hackers fortunately did it but still there is one thing, Apple released the iOS 5.1 beta and after that the developers account was in a cold breath what if after the release of the jailbreak of iOS 5.0.1 for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Apple releases iOS 5.1 with more stronger strings the game will move towards a tough stage.

Well after the business talk moving towards the community reminds of the SHSH blobs which should be ready to be saved as @notcom releases the TinyUmbrella for the iPhone 4S to save its blob. So stay tuned.

Many of you would be Tethered Jailbroken on your iDevice. Due to the heavy load on the website,  you people cannot download the new update of Redsn0w. Some of you might be out for some work and cannot have access to your computer/MAC. you would be willing to do this Jailbreak to be on safe side and only got WiFi so far.

So if you got WIFI only and are Tethered Jailbroken on IOS 5.0.1, So you can open up Cydia and download Corona 5.0.1, the Tweak released by The Chronic-Dev Team to Untetehred Jailbreak on iOS 5.0.1.

Simply open up Cydia and download this Tweak.Once you ahve downloaded this Tweak, You will be prompted to Reboot, Do that and once done. You will be Untethered.

Now you will have Untethered Jailbreak on iOS 5.0.1 without any tool.

@pod2g handed over his untether exploit to both the Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team for final release, and just now, both teams have incorporated the same exploit in the said tools. The Chronic Dev Team has released an untether package over at Cydia for previously-jailbroken devices.

The list of supported devices includes:

• iPhone 4 (GSM & CDMA)
• iPhone 3GS
• iPad 1
• iPod Touch 3G
• iPod Touch 4G

If you have any of these A4 devices, you can get untethered jalbreak on iOS 5.0.1 through redsn0w or Pwnage tool, both on Windows and Mac OS X.

Requirements

You must already be running iOS 5.0.1 on your iDevice, as iOS 5.0 is not supported. If you are still on 5.0, update immediately, as the iPSW signing window for 5.0.1 is still open and might cause a problem for you afterwards

Caution: Ultrasn0w and Gevey SIM unlockers, don’t upgrade through iTunes. You need a custom firmware that will preserve your baseband. You can use redsn0w and Pwnage tool both to create such a custom IPSW.

It is advised to back up all your data with iTunes or iCloud before you proceed.

Instructions (Redsn0w Only):

1. Download redsn0w 0.9.10b1 for your operating system here (Windows, Mac OS X)
2. Plug in your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad running iOS 5.0.1 to your computer.through USB cable. Make sure iTunes is not running before proceeding, and launch redsn0w.

3. Click on the jailbreak button. You will get a warning for making sure that your iDevice is both off and plugged in before it can be put into DFU mode for upgrade.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions for putting your device in DFU mode. As soon as it is detected, redsn0w will automatically identify your device and running iOS version.

5. Once the device is identified, redsn0w will start preparing the jailbreak data and performing the relevant operations. Sit tight.

6. When redsn0w is done working, you will get a dialog for selecting jailbreak options. Just checkInstall Cydia and proceed.

7. The patched ramdisk will be uploaded to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, and redsn0w interface will get you a final page for donating to @pod2g, the developer of the untether.

The rest of the jailbreak process takes place on your device’s screen, which you can see as it happens.

We also know that Steve Jobs’ himself in an interview with Water Isaacson during the biography making of his, he said that how the people have been using the TV is now getting better and Apple has to change that way as they have been changing in each of there devices.

The Wall Street Journal,the best source of Apples content has reported that the new assigned Apples Vice President of Internet Services, Eddy Cue in a meeting has discussed mainly about Apple TV. Below is the complete sayings by Apple about Apple TC (by WSJ)

The Apple television set is said to be very reliant on the cloud, something we’ve heard before, in order to download (and likely stream) television shows, movies, and other content. There does not seem to be a large differentiating factor here from the $99 Apple TV set-top-box, but this content component is just the surface of the TV set.

Apple is looking at new forms of interaction with not only TV sets but with mobile devices like iPhones and iPads. These new ways of interacting with technology include voice and movements. The voice aspect (Siri) is something we’ve heard in reports before and movement is something that Apple has been prototyping for a while now. The Siri component would be used to change channels and search for content.

Apple is also said to be working on an enhanced version of AirPlay that allows a user to start watching video content on a television, for example, and pickup the video on their mobile device. This would be the opposite of the current AirPlay solution where someone starts watching content on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and continues via streaming to their Apple TV box. The WSJ says this may simply be an Apple TV box feature, not exclusive to the set.

The report also says late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has been an advocate for controlling the Apple TV box with iOS devices (via the App Store Remote application), so we’ll likely see the Apple TV set being controlled with iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches versus a standalone remote control.

Obviously, this Apple TV set would eliminate the need for the Apple TV set-top-box, and would allow users to stream content directly from the iOS device to the Apple TV set. Companies like Time Warner Cable have not been a fan of Apple’s current go through the set-top-box for streaming solution, according to the report.

Finally, the report says Apple is working on an iCloud-based DVR service, purportedly for this Apple television set.

 

So we guess that we should get ready to have the new boomed Television set by Apple.

Getting his hands on the iPhone version of the feature for the first time, Ellis Hamburger of BusinessInsider noted back in November of this year that the version of the app which carried support for this feature was so good, it would “make you want to skip the desktop experience and just use Facebook on your iPhone.”

DOWNLOAD:
Redsn0w 0.9.9b9 - Win
Redsn0w 0.9.9b9 - OSX

Step 1: After downloading Redsn0w open it up and hit “Jailbreak”

Step 2: On the next screen, you will be instructed to shut off your device and prepare to put it into DFU mode. If you already know how to do the DFU process you can just enter DFU mode before hitting next. Otherwise, turn your device off, hit next and follow the on-screen instructions for putting your device in DFU mode.

Step 3: After Redsn0w detects your device you don’t need to do anything else, it will automatically detect what model you have, download the appropriate files needed for jailbreaking and exploit your device all automatically. Once the exploit is performed another screen will pop-up showing a few options. Select “Install Cydia.” The process will continue automatically once again and your phone will reboot once it’s done.

Step 4: Remember that this is still not an untethered jailbreak. Because of this, you still need to boot tethered any time your phone reboots or loses power. To do this either hit “back” to the main screen if Redsn0w is still open or just reopen if it’s not and this time hit “Extras.”

Step 5: Now hit the “Just Boot” option.

Step 6: Now you will be instructed to put your device into DFU mode again. This time after your phone reboots, it will boot to the springboard and Cydia will be fully functioning just like an untethered jailbreak.
