Update WinPwn Download Released

Doug — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:26:56 +0000

Check out WinPwn 2.0.0.2. . .

- You MUST remove winpwn before installing new version
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes ( Currently 7.7)
- WinPwn uses 300MB of ram at peak due to the ipsw being extracted in memory
- You must first click browse and load an IPSW to use WinPwn (i thought this was clear)
- For 2.0 only the *5A347_Restore.ipsw files are valid. The 345 image will not work
- If you see Failed to load image catalog/payload catalog, this is fine and won’t cause problems
- If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix

Click here to download it.

I have tested this and it does work and I am currently ‘restoring’ the iPod.

The question is, did you upgrade/jailbreak. Or are you perfectly happy with your older firmware?

App Store - Texas Hold’em

Doug — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:50:59 +0000

This is a full motion video Texas Hold’em game from Apple Inc. themselves. This graphics for this application are awesome and it uses the accelerometer throughout the game(to switch between 1st person and birds eye view). This game also supports up to 9 players in ‘WiFi Multiplayer’ mode.

Sadly this isn’t free, but it only costs $4.99 from the App Store.

WinPwn Full of Bugs?

Doug — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 05:21:53 +0000

When I try to create the custom IPSW file(for the iPod Touch), it crashes right at the end, without an error. It fails during the ‘writing IPSW file’ and gets about 24 MB through it.

Is anyone else having an issue like this?

EDIT - Found this on the site

“Some users have had problems with installing Cydia on Windows XP. This will be fixed in tomorrows release”

Sucks to be me. . .lol

WinPwn 2.0 Download Released

Doug — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:47:38 +0000

WinPwn 2.0 has now been released. If you have WinPwn 1.0 installed, you will need to UNINSTALL it first. . .or it will mess things up.

You can download it here, here, or here.

Installer is of course still not there(currently it’s only Cydia), but the developers are working on a bug free version of Installer for the 2.0 firmware. Expect it within the next week or two.

How-to from WinPwn.com

- 1) First create a custom IPSW using the IPSW Builder.
- 2) Click “Ipwner” and browse for the custom IPSW that you just created. This will pwn itunes and allow you to flash
Custom IPSW files via DFU mode
- 3) Once you have pwned Itunes, put your phone into DFU mode. If you don’t know how to do this click Here.
- 4) Once you are in DFU mode Itunes will pop up and then you can hold shift and click restore and browse to your custom IPSW file.

iPhone 3G Jailbreak Released

Doug — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:50:20 +0000

There has been an update to the Pwnage Tool.

PwnageTool 2.0.1

Well, the response was overwhelming. :) The downloads brought down several of our servers, and some of them have yet to recover!

It seems that some people have been having problems with our initial release, so we have PwnageTool 2.0.1 for you. It addresses the following issues:

* It auto-finds the bl39 and bl46 files better, if they’re on your computer
* It creates the ~/Library/iTunes/Device Support/ folder if not present, which should help with some 1600 errors people have been having.
* Many people have reported the PwnageTool not starting up at all (the icon never stops bouncing). This issue should be resolved now.
* The Sparkle AppCast URL is fixed in this version, so automatic updates should work for future releases.

Because of the AppCast URL fix, we recommend that everyone who downloaded PwnageTool 2.0 get this version, if they want to stay up to date automatically.

N.B: if PwnageTool 2.0 pwned your phone correctly the first time, you do not need to pwn again with 2.0.1.

You can download this update here, or here.

If you download it from other mirrors, make sure to verify the SHA1 of the file is 10b6c7dc22286e7b70c3d5a92cda7d117426fda9.

Here is a quick note from the ‘iPhone Dev Team’

We’ll be releasing a more official announcement soon, but we wanted to get the tool out there. We sincerely hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it :)

Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.

Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it.

Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool.

Click here or here or here or here to download the Pwnage Tool 2.0.

Note - There is no love for windows users at this time.

You can click here to subscribe. . .I will be posting as soon as the Windows version is available.

textReader updated to 1.1

Doug — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:00:20 +0000

In this update to textReader they now let you specify multiple encodings when you try to open a file. This application now shows cover art for files, they added left/right text alignment, and now you can show/hide the statusbar when viewing a document. They have a few other improvements and they fixed a huge amount of bugs.

Sculptor

Doug — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:19 +0000

Version 1.0.2

A OpenGL practice app for iPhone. You can draw on the screen, and it looks like you’re sculpting clay.

With each ’swipe’ it carves off more and more ‘clay’. I could see some interesting ’sculptures’ could be made with this application.

Also the background, during gameplay, looks to be updated.
