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.

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.

It doesn’t matters, how hard Apple tries to put people away from the Jailbreak, every time with the release of new iOS update, there is a bug which leads to Jailbreak and starts the cat & mouse game. Now, with the release of iOS 5.0, there was a bug found by Charlie Miller, which could lead to iOS 5.0 Untethered Jailbreak. Unfortunately; Apple patched the bug in its new update of iOS 5.0.1. After the update of iOS 5.0.1 people started to loose hope in the hackers and some of them updated to iOS 5.0.1 to fix the battery drain issues. But, those who updated to iOS 5.0.1 are still facing the issues. So Apple is seeing the issues once again in its new update of iOS 5.1.

The iOS 5.1 Beta 1 was released few weeks back for Developers only. So the new Beta might be around the corner. Before Apple released iOS 5.1, @Pod2g luckily found a new bug in iOS 5.0 which leads to an Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 for iPhone 4, iPod 4, iPod 3 and iPhone 3GS. He demoed a video few days back showing the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0 on iPod 3. At the time he demoed the video about the Untethered Jailbreak, he was not sure if the exploit would work on iPhone 4 or not.

So today @Pod2g confirmed that it is safe to update to iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4 because the bug he had found earlier is also working fine on iPhone 4.

Got an untethered iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. Feel free to update.

 

After hearing this news, every one must be damn excited and willing to update. So before you plan to update to iOS 5.0.1 make sure that you are not doing it via iTunes. If you do it via iTunes, you will be locked on iOS 5.0.1 because iOS 5.0 got a new baseband which is not yet unlockable. This warning is for those who rely on an Unlock. If you rely on an Unlock, So you follow the guide from here and preserve your old baseband and update on iOS 5.0.1.

Those who are never locked (Factory Unlocked) can update to iOS 5.0.1 by any means. They can update via iTunes or custom.

Don’t forget to save your iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 SHSH blobs by iFaith using this guide. We would recommend you to save your iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 SHSH Blobs.

We will be updating you as soon as we hear any thing new on this.

Download iFaith v1.4 For Windows

As noted, iFaith is a Windows only tool, so until RedSn0w or some other Mac based software is updated, you will need a Windows box to successfully back up your SHSH blobs for iOS 5 and create a signed IPSW that you can use regardless of whether or not Apple is still signing that particular firmware.

TinyUmbrella has been updated to allow you to save your SHSH blobs, but there’s still the question of APTicket, and there’s still no “stitching” or signing solution for Mac users just yet. We’ll go out on the limb and say there will certainly be a full Mac solution soon.

How to Save Your iOS 5 SHSH Blobs

Notes: You must be on a Windows box. You must have an iDevice (not compatible iPhone 4S yet) that has iOS 5+ installed. Run iFaith as administrator for best results. You will need your current Firmware available to create the custom IPSW.

Step 1: Download and run iFaith.

Step 2: Put Your device into DFU Mode.

Step 3: Select “Dump SHSH Blobs” click Proceed, Let’s Go!, select No on the Apple TV 2 prompt, and click Start.

Step 4: iFaith will dump your SHSH Blobs and ask you to save them. Save them on your desktop.

How to Create a Custom Signed IPSW for Future Downgrading

Step 1: Run iFaith.

Step 2: Put Your device into DFU Mode.

Step 3: Select “Build *signed* IPSW w/ Blobs”.

Step 4: Browse for your device’s current firmware. You can also download directly from iFaith, but I recommend using the browse feature.

Step 5: Click Build IPSW.

Step 6: It will Extract the IPSW and place it on your desktop.

Step 7: Click Proceed and Click Start (Your device should already be in DFU mode, this will place it into PwnedDFU mode for custom restore using iTunes).

Step 8: Close iFaith, open iTunes and it should find your device in recovery mode. Hold Shift and click Restore and find your custom firmware. The firmware should be named something like: 0000000000_iFaith_iPhone_4-5.0.1 (9A405)_signed.ipsw.

In this example I created a custom 5.0.1 IPSW file. Since Apple is still signing this firmware, I won’t be able to verify my downgrade until iOS 5.1 is released, and Apple stops signing 5.0.1. Until then, I recommend keeping your custom firmware in a safe place for future pain-proof restores.

If you’re on iOS 5.0, you can test out your downgrade capabilities now since iOS 5.0 is no longer being signed. Just make sure that you select the custom firmware when you do your restore.

This will NOT work on an iPhone 4S since, like the iPad 2, the 4S isn’t limera1n susceptible.

Because Apple doesn’t allow downgrading (definition: restoring your iOS device to an earlier version of the operating system, rather than a newer version), it’s important to keep one’s SHSH blobs on file. These SHSH blobs, which can be saved using TinyUmbrella, can be used to evade Apple and downgrade an iOS device’s firmware.

Though, as we have mentioned, no untethered jailbreak solution is available for iOS 5 or above (and no jailbreak solution whatsoever is available for the iPhone 4S), we would nevertheless recommend Apple fans updating to iOS 5.1 beta to save their iOS device’s SHSH blobs. Because, as the team notes over on the TinyUmbrella website, “you never know when they may come in handy.”

You can download the latest version of TinyUmbrella from the software’s official website.

After only one week, the team of hackers has collected over 10 million crash reports from jailbreak supporters worldwide. Joshua and the rest of the Chronic Dev Team are working to parse the crash report data to help create a stable untethered jailbreak for Apple’s iOS 5.

In a recent tweet, Joshua Hill announced that 10,071,868 crash reports have been uploaded to the Chronic Dev Team’s servers since the tool for collecting the data was released last Sunday.

The Chronic Dev Team is using Google’s MapReduce software to compute the massive amount of report data that is being sent in by jailbreakers around the world. According to Joshua, MapReduce allows his team to “run tests that would take days normally in only seconds.”

There’s still no ETA on an official untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, but this incredible number of submitted crash reports is a testament to how committed the jailbreak community is to making the Chronic Dev Team’s jailbreak a reality. The team’s hackers have already found important iOS 5 exploits, but Joshua has said that they remain “highly guarded until the right time.”

The package is called Siri0us, and is available for free if you add a custom source. If you want to download the package, simply open Cydia, go to the “Manage” tab, choose “Sources”, and click “Add”. When presented with a text field, type in “http://cydia.myrepospace.com/0xjf/” and add the source. Then, just open the source or search for “Siri0us” in the search menu. There have been errors reported with the download, so just keep trying if it fails.

Video Tutorial:

Note that this is not full Siri functionality, just the dictation feature that comes as part of Siri. While we don’t have the full system integration that there is on the iPhone 4S, this is a huge step in the right direction. Hopefully we will see a lot more developers get on this, and the process of getting Siri fully working can move onward.
