How to Restore iPhone 4, 3GS on iOS 4.0.1 Successfully, Bypassing iTunes 1004, 1015 Error

So you have an iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS (New Bootrom), running iOS 4.0.1, with SHSH blobs saved on Cydia, and you want to restore your iPhone again to iOS 4.0.1. Now that Apple has stopped signing iOS 4.0.1, you wont be able to restore your iPhone 4 on iOS 4.0.1 by simply pointing iTunes to iOS 4.0.1 ipsw file. Because if you do so, iTunes will throw an error: “This iPhone [your name] iPhone could not be restored. This device isn’t eligible for the requested build.

Unlock iOS 4.0.2 with Ultrasn0w [How to Guide]

While Apple has released iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G, the important thing is that they haven’t updated the baseband. What this means is that 05.13.04 baseband which accompanies iOS 4.0.2 is still unlockable with ultrasn0w provided that you manage tojailbreak your iOS device. At the moment, only iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (Non-MC model) can be jailbroken on this latest firmware using the latest version of Redsn0w. So technically, you can only unlock iPhone 3G on iOS 4.0.2.

Download iOS 3.2.2 for iPad WiFi and iPad 3G

iOS 3.2.2 for iPad WiFi and iPad 3G is out! This update fixes the vulnerability in iOS which allows hackers to execute malicious code via PDF exploit in Safari. JailbreakMe used the same exploit to jailbreak all iPhones, iPod touches and iPads. Since this new update patches the exploit used by JailbreakMe, you wont be able to jailbreak your iPad until a new jailbreak tool is available.

If you love your jailbroken iPad, you better avoid this update now or you will be out of luck for long. Incase you have decided not to update, make sure you use PDF Loading Warner app which will make your web browsing safe. If you care about security, then you are better off updating to the latest firmware from iTunes.
To update to iOS 3.2.2 for iPad, all you need to do is to connect your iPad with your computer via USB and start iTunes. You should now see a message as shown below. Simply click on “Download and Install” button to get on to the new firmware.

Jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 with Redsn0w [How to Guide]

Ok guys I just tested it on an old iPhone 3G lying around and can confirm that this works! Now that Apple has released iOS 4.0.2 to patch the PDF exploit, JailbreakMe which was previously used to jailbreak iOS 4.0.1 on iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPod touch 3G / 2G and iPad isnow incompatible with iOS 4.0.2. But if you have iPhone 3G (which doesn’t rely on an unlock) or an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) lying around, you can jailbreak it using the existing version of Redsn0w. Simply follow the step by step guide posted below to jailbreak the mentioned devices on iOS 4.0.2 using Redsn0w.
Step 1: Download iOS 4.0.2 for your version of iPhone and iPod touch. Download links are given below.
Step 2: Update to this latest firmware using the IPSW file you just downloaded via iTunes 9.2.1.
Step 3: Start Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 (download link given below) and point it to iOS 4 (Final Version), and not iOS 4.0.2 firmware file to proceed with the jailbreak.

Ultrasn0w 1.1-1 Unlock for iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G Released

The iPhone Dev-Team has just updated the ultrasn0w unlocking tool for iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G. This new version has lots of new tweaks added for performance and stability improvement. It will also help with standby battery life incase if your phone is draining the battery too fast. The compatibility though remains the same. It will work with all iPhones up to iOS 4.0.1 with baseband 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.04.

Carrier Unlock for iPhone 4 on iOS 4.0.1 Released !!

As promised, the iPhone Dev-Team has released the carrier unlocking tool calledUltrasn0w for US based iPhone 4 users who are stuck with AT&T network. For those of you who don’t know, carrier unlock for US iPhone 4s required complete rewrite ofultrasn0w software because of the new baseband OS present in iPhone 4.

Since Apple is selling unlocked iPhone 4s internationally, it is only the United States users who are still locked on AT&T network. So if you want to use your new iPhone 4 on networks other than AT&T, like T-Mobile for example, you can use this newly released Ultrasn0w 1.0 software to unlock your phone.

Simply follow the instructions posted below to unlock your iPhone 4 on iOS 4.0.1 / 4.0 on 01.59.00 baseband.

NOTE: T-Mobile US users will have to disable 3G by navigation to: Settings->General->Network and turning the "Enable 3G" switch to OFF before installing the ultrasn0w unlock.

Jailbreak iOS 4.0.1 on iPhone 4, 3GS New Bootrom with JailbreakMe 2.0 Star [How to Guide Video]

The iPhone Dev-Team (Comex) has released JailbreakMe 2.0 (aka Star) which can jailbreak all iOS devices on their latest respective firmware like iOS 4.0 / 4.0.1. This does not work with iOS 4.1 Beta release. Since JailbreakMe 2.0 is a userland jailbreak, what this means is that you run it right in your iOS Safari browser to jailbreak the device. It cant get simpler than that !


The following step by step instructions, along with video are for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS(New bootrom / old bootrom) and iPhone 3G users.

If you don’t have an original SIM, you can follow the instructions in this video guide posted here to activate your phone without having the original SIM card.
Step 1: Start iTunes and backup everything from Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Videos and Apps.
Step 2: Update your iPhone 4, 3GS or iPhone 3G on the latest iOS 4.0.1 firmware with iTunes. Download links for the firmware and iTunes 9.2.1 can be found below.
Step 3: Once you are done with the update, make sure you are connected to a WiFi network. I haven’t tested it on 3G so I recommend using it on a reliable WiFi network.
Step 4: Open Safari on your iPhone 4, 3GS or 3G and navigate to http://jailbreakme.com.
Step 5: “Slide to Jailbreak” to begin the jailbreak process.

Step 6: Wait till the jailbreak tool download the required files..

Step 7: Once the download is completed, it will automatically start the jailbreak process. Just don’t do anything silly at this point. Wait till the jailbreak process is completed.
