REDSNOW ,ABSINTHE UPDATE for ios 5 JAILBREAK
By downgrading your iOS to an earlier version such as iOS 5.0.1, you can enjoy an untethered jailbreak on your iPhone or iPad once more!Release notes by MuscleNerd and some warnings:
- The new feature is at Extras->Even More->Restore
- You cannot downgrade without the personalized SHSH blobs for your device at that lower firmware. You need to have fetched those blobs while the signing window was open, using either Cydia’s built-in TSS@Home feature, or with TinyUmbrella. The new Restore screen of redsn0w lets you choose either the remote blobs or local ones (for the earlier firmware). If you don’t know where TinyUmbrella put your blobs, TinyUmbrella has a button that will show you (copy them out of that folder and feed them to redsn0w).
- The A5 downgrade method actually updates to the latest firmware before downgrading to the earlier one.This process updates your baseband to whatever is newest.DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU RELY ON UNOFFICIAL UNLOCKS of your iPhone4S. Those who used the temporary SAM technique to unlock their iPhones to specific SIMs shouldn’t be affected by this baseband update.
redsn0w 0.9.11b1 for OS X
redsn0w 0.9.11b1 for Windows
In Absinthe v0.3 for Mac OS X and Windows we see some minor stability improvements, cosmetic changes, and a potential bug fix for win32. It has been noted that there is no need to re-jailbreak your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 with Absinthe v0.3 because the changes implemented were not major.
If you have not already Jailbroken your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 Untethered we suggest downloading Absinthe v0.3 right away for either Windows or Mac OS X from one of the direct download links shown below or from the iJailbreak Downloads Section.

Here’s the Chip Apple Is Using to Stop You from Buying Cheap Cables
Eric Limer
Peter from Double Helix Cables found the obnoxious little chip while dissecting one of the new, official Lighting cables. Positioned between the cord's USB contact and the power pin on the Lightning plug, the chip seems to be the key to keeping Lighting cables and adapters proprietary. These kind of authentication chips aren't uncommon in more sophisticated accessories, but this is the first time one has shown up in something as basic as a charging cable, smack in the middle of the power line. According the Peter, the chip doesn't block the data lines, but you need data and power to connect by USB. That could mean any number of things.
This could mean that it's less nefarious than a authentication system, that it's just for power regulation - but it looks like a serious microcontroller of some sort, it doesn't look like a garden variety voltage regulator that I've ever seen. It has a mirror-finish shiny metal exterior with lasered numbers on it, it does not look like a generic black IC. If it really costs $3.50 for a lightning plug, then it could be something quite high tech. Whatever it is, it's expensive and highly miniaturized. And the cable isn't going to function without it, that I can tell at this point."There is basically no way [third-party adapters] are functional cables," Peter told Apple Insider. "You can't just build a Lightning cable by making something with the same shape and connectivity." That means that all those third-party connectors out there will fit the ports on your devices, sure, but they probably aren't going to actually work. What looks like a $10, $20, or $30 savings could very well wind up being a waste, so if you're in a hurry, official adapters are probably the best bet.
If you aren't, you can sit tight and see if someone can figure out how to fake those chips, but it could wind up being pretty difficult. Peter put it this way in an email to us:
It remains to be seen whether the chip can be reverse engineered. Nobody that I know of managed to crack the MFi program before, since digital Apple docks and other MFi certified stuff were always quite costly and only coming from well established name brands that participated in the program. I never saw any off brand, super cheap version of the iPod USB digital audio interfaces that cost hundreds of dollars. If the chip has some code on board that makes it authenticate with the iPhone, then it may be hard to duplicate for sure. If it's doing a "smart" function like pin assignment or something crazy like that, then it definitely is going to be mandatory. Apple has said it's a "smart" connector but it is horrifying that just a basic power charging/sync cord like this requires additional complexity. But until some serious engineers figure out exactly what the chips do (MFi people are under NDA so I don't think they can tell us without breaking NDA) then it remains open for debate why this cable is like this.It could take some serious engineering brain-power to get to the bottom of what this chip is actually doing. Until then, first-party is the only surefire option. [Apple Insider, Peter (Double Helix Cables)]

iPHONE 5
The phone is drawn as accurately as possible, based on leaked dimensions. Some features such as the new dock connector and larger screen size are almost definitely likely to appear in the new iPhone 5. Other features are included only for concept purposes, such as 'Fingerprint Scan to Unlock'.
Everything has been drawn and animated from scratch; from the icons, to the user interfaces and of course the hardware itself. I used a combination of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and Apple's Final Cut Pro X.
Beckett includes a long shot fingerprint scanner and a concept Mission Control but otherwise it's very close to what most are expecting from Apple tomorrow.
Take a look below...

When Apple released iOS 5.1 last week, the update didn’t just break the previous jailbreaks. It also broke the software unlock for the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4 known as Ultrasn0w.
While this may not be a very big deal to most people, it’s rather inconvenient for folks who need to use their iPhone on multiple networks. Luckily, a temporary fix has surfaced in Cydia known as Ultrasn0w Fixer. And even luckier, we’re going to show you how to install it…
Before we get started, you’ll want to make sure your handset is on one of the following basebands: 01.59.00, 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.13.01, 05.12.01, 06.15.00. You can check this by going to Settings > General > About > Modem Firmware.
Your must also make sure that your device is jailbroken and running iOS 5.1 (click here for our tutorial on how to do that).
Now, onto the tutorial:
Step 1. Ultrasn0w Fixer isn’t in a default repo, so you’ll have to add it. To do this, open up Cydia > Manage > Sources > Edit > Add, and type in the following URL: http://repo.iparelhos.com.
Step 2. Once the repo is done loading, search Cydia for Ultrasn0w Fixer. Locate it and install it like a typical package.
Step 3. After the Fixer is done installing, you need to grab the latest version of Ultrasn0w. This is in a default repo, so all you have to do is search for and install it.
And that’s all there is to it!
Keep in mind that the jailbreak for iOS 5.1 is tethered and a bit unstable. It’s also worth noting that the Dev Team is expected to release an updated version of Ultrasn0w in the near future — so we recommend waiting for that if possible.
- 1.0.11
- 1.0.13
- 1.0.14
As most of you know that iPhone Dev-team is already working in a soft solution for iPhone 4S unlock. iPhone Dev-team is promising to unlock iPhone 4S with ultrasn0w, but there is nothing released so far. Now, thanks for ChinaSnow for the hardwork, bringing us first iPhone 4S unlock. Actually, we have not had a chance to check TP SIM iPhone 4S unlock so far as it is out of stock and not available openly in market right now, so that, once we got it in our hands we will make a hands-on video.
Features of TP SIM iPhone 4S Unlock:
- No jailbreak required, insert and go!
- *No need to dial 112 (after the first time initialization)
- Supports 3G, EDGE, MMS, Facetime
- Supports iPhone 4S baseband 1.0.11, 1.0.13 and 1.0.14.
- Supports iPhone 4 baseband 1.59.00, 2.10.04, 3.10.01, 4.10.01 but NOT 4.11.08
- No hardware alteration or modification required – will not affect your warranty
- Robust and sturdy steel custom SIM tray
- Unlocks ALL worldwide networks
- Uses high performance original F981 chip for ultra-low voltage operation

"@planetbeing, the legendary hacker behind iPhone Linux and lot of jailbreaks has joined the A5 research! The famous @MuscleNerd, the leader of the iPhone Dev Team, who did a lot of tests for Corona and whom integrated it and made it simple in redsn0w is willing to help also. And last, but not least @p0sixninja, the leader of the Chronic Dev Team, and my partner for years on iPhone security research has started to code and fuzz the Apple sandbox.
The Redmond company has been extremely active in the App Store over the last few months, releasing the aforementioned LIVE app, the popular Kinectimals game, and a SkyDrive client. And it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down any time soon…
From the job posting:
“Xbox LIVE Mobile team is looking for a passionate and experienced developer to join us in bringing Xbox LIVE entertainment experiences to various platforms. As the team inside IEB (Interactive entertainment Business) dedicated to mobile experiences, we work closely with the console software team and Xbox LIVE services to bring the latest and greatest gaming and entertainment experience to mobile platforms including Windows Phone, iOS, and other mobile platforms.”
The move has some folks scratching their heads, as many felt that full Xbox LIVE integration was one of WP7′s few advantages over the competition. Perhaps this is a sign that Microsoft has acknowledged that its mobile OS isn’t gaining much traction with consumers.
This is great news, however, for Xbox-playing iOS users. Xbox LIVE’s marketplace is home to thousands of downloadable games that are either free, or very inexpensive.
We’re just looking forward to the day when, much like video streaming now, we can start playing a game on our living room console and finish it up on our smartphones.

- Gametel Wireless Gamepad Is Here: Now For iOS Devices
The best part about the Gametel gamepad, though, is that it supports more games than the 60beat. This includes hundreds of iCade titles as well as other games.
However, please take note that this gamepad only works on an iPhone running iOS 4.0 or later or an iPad running iOS 3.2 or later.
The Gametel gamepad will be showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show this upcoming week. But if you won’t be there to play with it, you can check it out or purchase it here.
