Looks like the lastest version of iOS 4.0.2 has no effect on iPhone 3G (not 3GS). You can go ahead and download redsn0w from blog.iphone-dev.org. Engadget has more insights on this crack:
As we now know, 4.0.2 materialized for the sole purpose of patching up the PDF exploit that allowed JailbreakMe to do its thing, so it’s kind of funny to see that redsn0w is still able to do its thing unhindered… just not on the devices most of us care about. Keep on keepin’ on, Dev Team.
This trick has been there around the web for quite sometime, but I wasnt too sure if it made sense to share on my blog. But I think its time to share it all:
How to find and download IPA/App Store Apps freely ?
Note: An IPA is a cracked app coming from Apple’s App Store. Needless to mention that your iPhone has to be jailbroken.
Prerequisites:
Your iPhone should have AppSync mod pre-installed. For this you need to launch Cydia and search for Installous app. Install that and you will be ready to install IPA’s from your desktop or from the installous app. If you are not able to find Installous in Cydia, add this Apptrackr repo http://repo.beyouriphone.com into Cydia’s Manage Sources section.
You need to either launch Installous app and look for apps and install it directly. If you want to download apps to your computer and then push it to your iPhone, here is the process
Apple has released iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, and iPod touch 2nd and 3rd generation and is now available for download. The gaping security hole in Mobile Safari has been fixed with updates to Apple’s iOS operating system. If you have jailbroken your iPhone or iPd touch using JailbreakMe.com, DO NOT UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION.
The updates fix a security vulnerability that was associated with viewing malicious PDF files. It doesn’t appear that there are any fixes to any other issues (i.e., the proximity sensor glitch), but the fix to the PDF exploit insures that the iOS platform remains secure.
This iPhone update is 580MB in size. Isnt this HUGE?
This Doodle game has an exeptional Avg Rating of 5.00 (37). There is a great and crazy cow said to the whole world: i don’t do milking and i just love jumping, all the time! The cow is always jumping. Just tilt your device to move left or right and try not to fall! you need to make the milk cow avoid clouds making it drop, and you need to move the clouds while step on those enhancing your jumping altitude. Here is the App Store link to download.
Its one of the games which turns out to be a good time killer. Easy to play and handle.

Apple is now allowing Educational Institutions to purchase Apps in bulk at 50% off the regular price. In order to make these bulk purchases, institutions must obtain vouchers through their Apple Online Authorized Purchaser. The vouchers can be purchased in amounts of $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000.
More from Apple:
The Volume Purchase Program makes it easy for educational institutions to purchase iOS apps in volume and distribute those apps to users. The Volume Purchase Program also allows app developers to offer special pricing for purchases of 20 apps or more.
Finally Americans will get to make their own choices. Come January and Apple will launch Verizon iPhone. This news has been confirmed by TechCrunch. If the report is accurate, the smartphone market is in for a major shake-up. Word of a Verizon iPhone, of course, has been floating around for months, although Apple and Verizon have repeatedly sought to downplay the rumors.
A CDMA-based iPhone would likely sell 2-3 million units in the first few weeks (modeled after iPhone 4’s oversubscribed launch). The lead-time associated with upside in the semiconductor world is huge, sometimes as long as 26 weeks (supply is tight right now so this rule is in effect and Apple had major supply problems with the iPhone 4 and iPad).
Infact TechCrunch’s Steve Cheney says he has proof that a Verizon iPhone launch is imminent:
“Sources with knowledge of this entire situation have assured me that Apple has submitted orders for millions of units of Qualcomm CDMA chipsets for a Verizon iPhone run due in December,” writes Cheney. “This production run would likely be for a January launch, and I’d bet the phone is nearly 100 percent consistent with the current iPhone 4 (with a fixed internal insulator on the antenna).”
But that’s not all. Over at MSNBC, reporter Suzanne Choney has reviewed AT&T’s quarterly filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission, and found an intriguing snippet where the company discusses reducing its dependence on “any single handset.” Does the company mean the BlackBerry Torch? Or a drifting away from its cash cow, the iPhone.
Its going to be called Frash. Comex guys have compiled once again and ported Adobe Flash 10.1 on to iPhone iOS 4 devices. Still in alpha, Frash should be soon on Cydia.You’ll have to place the .deb package on your i-device manually and install it from there. Check this video:
If you are not able to FaceTime video chat or MMS after jailbreaking your iPhone 4 with JailbreakMe.com, here is the simple fix. JailbreakMe.com has been updated to autofix this earlier issue where iPhone 4 jailbroken phones were not able to FaceTime or MMS.
If you are doing a fresh jailbreak, you will not have any of these issues. Existing users will need to do a “Complete Upgrade” of Cydia followed by a reset of Network Settings. To do this, simply launch Cydia and let the loading to finish. It will now automatically ask you to update Cydia. Touch on “Complete Upgrade” and reboot the device once it is done. Go to Settings –> General –> Reset –> Reset Network Settings. Reboot the device again. The problem should be fixed now.
And if you are stuck on purple-colored space screen of JailbreakMe? Check this post or follow the below instructions:
- You need to go to Settings > Safari > Clear History, Clear Cookies, Clear Cache
- And then Reboot your iPhone
There is this developer named Filip Chudzinski who has created this pretty cool poster which shows prices of iPhone 4 across almost all countries where it has been released till date. Pretty cool graphical depiction I must say. Click on the image to view the bigger size:
Hi, I have been using this awesome invention called the Apple iPhone from November 2007 and have gone nutzzz over it. Nuts to an extent that I started this blog which talks just about iPhone and nothing else.
This blog of mine has been getting tremendous response and is being followed by all kinds of mobile phone users from all over the globe. Most of the traffic comes from the US and Europe. Thank you all for making this blog a success :)
