RIM against jailbreaking

Canadian company, which is most famous for their BlackBerry smartphones, has announced publicly that it will resist and counter any jailbreak appearing on their platform.

If the jailbreak itself is complicated and not feasible for average BlackBerry user, RIM will counter this with the next OS update.

Jailbreak iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4 with RedSn0w for Mac [Guide]

Here are instructions on how to do a tethered jailbreak on your iPhone 4 running on latest iOS version 5.1.

If you follow this guide, you will upgrade the baseband version on your iPhone 4. This could be a big problem if you want later on to carrier unlock your iPhone 4. If you need a carrier unlock you should upgrade your device to firmware 5.1 only with a custom firmware which will prevent the baseband firmware from upgrading. Please note: this jailbreak is the tethered version only, so you’ll have to reboot with your Mac whenever you turn your device off, or reboot it for any reason. It is a slight inconvenience, yet if you really want a jailbreak, you will have to use this solution as it is the only possible one at the time being. Further, you should really save the SHSH blobs before you continue. You can find the instructions on how to do this in our blogs archives.

iPad 3 jailbroken three times on the release day

Can it become any better? Three different jailbreak solutions were found on the date of the release of the latest Apple product, the superb iPad 3. These three jailbreak solutions were developed by i0nic, @MuscleNerd and @. You can see the Youtube video where @i0nic (aka Stefan Esser) demoed his own jailbreak exploit in our blogs archive.

RedSn0w 9.10 beta 5 launched, now with iBooks solution

Another upgrade to the famous jailrbeak app RedSN0w has just been seeded. Developers of this useful tool, the super stars of jailbreaking, iPhone Dev Team have once more updated this application. This time they have solved another troubling issue: iBooks. The issue was created with the help from PlanetBeing, another individual jailbreak developer.

This fix contains a solution for the iBooks, but now it includes the so called DRM options. The solution comes in a form of a software utility named ‘Crazeles’, developed and released by @PlanetBeing. ‘Crazeles’ avoids anti jailbreak scanning, which is executed by the iBooks app. If the scanning is done, a number of your books could become useless. ‘Crazeles’ is working in a similar vein as the ‘Hunny pot’ solution which was developed previously by @Comex.

How to install Installous on iPhone 4S 5.0.1 [jailbreak]

iPhone 4S has only recently been jailbroken for the first time, and we see a sharp rise in the number and availability of different apps, games, tweaks and customizations for this great iOS device. You can jailbreak your iPhone with Absinthe jailbreak from Chronic Dev Team. A new release of RedSn0w should also become available soon, which will work for iOS 5.0.1 and A5 apple devices.

This is easily done if and when you buy their apps in Cydia app store or Apple app store.
