Create Unlimited Free Ringtones for iPhone on Windows


iRinger is a free utility to create unlimited free ringtones for your iPhone. The sweet thing about this program is that it runs without installing on your system. So you can just double click and it’s ready to go. It’s pretty simple and exports right to iTunes. Most of free iPhone ringtone maker in the wild are malware, but this application is free from money and other bad things. Developer also explained why a hot app like iRinger is free “iRinger has an advertisement window placed in the program which generates revenue towards iRinger. If you donate a minimum of 10$ US, a Donation Key will be sent to you as a gift! This key will close the iRinger advertisement window as well as unlock hidden features.”
If you really are bothered by a small ad appearing that maximises when you hover over it then pay the $10 to get rid of it and get access to the other effect features! If you’re not bothered by it then it still works fine without the extra features!



How to use iRinger

  • Download iRinger from official website click here. Now launch the program and option screen will appear like following.



  • Hit the import button to select the song you want to convert in ringtone, now hit the preview button to listen the song. You can select the starting point by scaling the graph in upper window. Once you finalized the length simply hit the Export button.

iPhone 4.0 Firmware Spotted in the Wild

The folks over at BGR have found out references to iPhone 3.1.3, and the iPhone 4.0 firmware version in their server logs and they seems to be legitimate. While iPhone 3.1.3 will only be a minor release, the 4.0 version certainly denotes a major release version and we can expect it to ship with the next-generation iPhone model sometime in summer 2010. Nothing much is known about about the features that the new firmware is going to offer, but we can expect it to add alot of new features, similar to what was experienced when firmware 3.0 was released.



While it is debatable on whether these logs posted by BGR are legitimate or not, one thing which we can be sure of is that Apple is working on something new. After all, the competition in 2010 is going to be tougher than ever before with the new Droid and the Google branded Nexus One phone, both slated for 2010 release.

iPhone 3.1.3 Firmware Release Imminent

While analyzing their website logs, BGR has found out something very interesting, related to the upcoming iPhone OS firmware release. Their server logs have clearly shown existence of both iPhone 3.1.3, and the major release – the iPhone 4.0 firmware. While we don’t know what new features the new firmware will offer, one thing is for sure that iPhone 3.1.3 firmware is only going to be a minor release for bug fixes and patches. iPhone 4.0 seems to be the major release version that is most probably going to hit something in summer of 2010 with the next-gen iPhone model.


Expect iPhone 3.1.3 firmware version to drop any time via iTunes. If you are using ajailbroken or an unlocked iPhone with firmware 3.1.2, then do not update to OS 3.1.3 immediately or you may loose the capability to jailbreak or unlock your device in the future. You have been warned!

Cydia Home Screen shows which SHSH you saved already

Yesterday Saurik updated the tool on the home page of Cydia, which retrieves and saves the ECID of our 3GS iPhone so we can downgrade at any time. Eagle Eyed folks at iSpazio noticed the change according to them, until a few hours ago, on the opening page of Cydia receive a message that only the first version of the firmware that had been saved ECID (first screenshot), but now are clearly displayed all versions of the firmware can install on your iPhone 3GS (second screenshot). If you aren’t aware of ECID, Cydia SHSH then read this article to understand what ECID is and why you need to dump your Signature files.


IMG_0284IMG_0007
>>>>>>>>                     Before                    <<<<<<<<      >>>>>>>>                       Now                     <<<<<<<<
For those who are unaware with the SHSH thingy, this is due to the fact that Apple prohibits iPhone 3GS users to downgrade to previous versions. But if you have already saved you can install the firmware you like and forces them to keep only the latest version. With this detailed guide instead, all people who have saved the ‘ECID can downgrade by installing an older version of the software.

iBotnet.A : Another Malware for iPhone


iKee WormiPhone/Privacy.A and now iBotnet.A yet another malware for iPhone is identified. The first one was iKee, such malware changed wallpaper on iPhones. The second one iPhone/Privacy.A aims to  harvest personal data from iPhones. This new malware, that Intego calls iBotnet.A, is by far the most sophisticated iPhone malware yet. It is not only a worm, capable of spreading across a network, but also hijacks iPhones or iPod touches for use in a botnet. A botnet is a series of infected nodes that work together to perform a nefarious task such as overloading a website with requests, essentially shutting it down to other users (denial of service) or sending unsolicited emails (spam).
Cases of spread of these worms are becoming more frequent and are not limited to the Netherlands but also in Portugal, Hungary and Australia.iBotnet.A is the name that was given by Intego because the worm is able to enter iPhone, change the standard SSH password (alpine) and ensures total control, since you may no longer be changed.This worm connects to a server unfortunate iPhone in Lithuania which sends SMS and other data stolen also always via this link, can download additional malicious software that turns the device into a botnet that can be controlled from a far .The pirates will then use it to send spam or spread malware to steal passwords for all secure sites to which the user accesses (such as banks, PayPal, etc.).
iBotnet.A New Worm for iPhone
We need to clarify that all these worms/hacks/malware can infect only those jailbroken iPhone whose SSH was turned on with the default root:alpine configuration. That doesn’t means all jailbroken iPhones are in the range of attack. A little workaround to change the default password can make safe your iPhone as normal. We published a guide to change your default password of SSH, if you missed then check Secure Your Jailbroken iPhone and Change your Default Password.

Snappy – The Fastest Camera App for Jailbroken iPhone

There are times when you would suddenly like to instantaneously capture a scene or a nearby happening with your iPhone but the time available to take such shots is always limited. One normally misses out these precious moments when trying to capture them through iPhone using the native Camera app because of the time the built-in camera app takes in starting, taking picture and then closing. This problem has now been resolved forjailbroken iPhone users by Marc Vaillant who has developed a very useful app like qTweeter called “Snappy”.
Snappy App for iPhone
Snappy enables you to take photos while running any app on your iPhone screen without having to close it. Moreover, you can take photos even if you screen is locked in a matter of a second or 2!  All you have to do is to tap and hold the status bar to open the camera and you are ready to shoot a snap.

You can also deny the access to your camera roll or camera itself quite easily if you don’t want it to be accessed from the lock screen due to security or privacy reasons. The pictures taken are exactly of the same quality as those taken from any other app.

This is the fastest camera app without any doubt. The only thing it is missing at the moment is support for taking video clips in iPhone 3GS. The developer is said to be working on bringing video capturing capabilities in the next version of Snappy. Snappy is available on Cydia for just $1.99 and works only on jailbroken iPhones.
Check out our iPhone Apps Gallery to explore more apps for your iPhone or iPod touch.

iREB V3.1.2 With SHSH Restore Server, iRecovery for iPhone 3GS

iH8sn0w is about to release the next update to iREB, This is the fourth version and has some new updates. The latest version Includes new and more clean interface.The SHSH files may help you to continue to downgrade your iPhone back to 3.1.2 when Apple releases a new firmware. The SHSH grabber is updated for the ipt2g (OTB users), ipt3, and the 3GS firmware 3.1.2, I hope all the 3GS user now familiar with the SHSH thingy, if not read the following explanation.
Why i need ECID SHSH Dump
Apple added a new piece of security called ECID, The nature of the 3GS hardware allows Apple to stop IPSWs from being usable unless you’ve already gotten the signed chunks they send to you based on your ECID (a unique chip ID). Actually Apple applies ECID so the iPhone will refuse to accept the ipsw file while downgrading because of a bad signature. It will treat it as a custom ipsw without having the apple server sign the ipsw specifically for your phone id before flashing.

SHSH Restore Server in iREB
New SHSH restore server is able to select the Saurik Server or your locally saved files so you can bypass the Apple signature server restriction. We’ll cover a new how to after the release.

Bonus : iRecovery now included in iREB
iRecovery is a libusb-based command line utility for Mac OS X and Linux (perhaps Windows too). It is able to talk to the iBoot/iBSS in Apple’s iPhone/iPod touch via USB. If you are on Windows then you need to install LibUsb-Win32 in order to run iRecovery.LibUsb-Win32 is a port of the USB library libusb the Windowsoperating system. The library allows user space applications to access any USB device on Windows. iH8sn0w implemented the iRecovery to the iREB and now it’s very easy to use iRecovery to get rid of iPhone from recovery mode loop on restart, or sending other commands.

We’ll cover a useful article on how to use the iRecovery after the release so stay tuned. You can follow us on twitter to make sure yourself to not miss any buzz of the iPhone community.
