iOS 4.3 untethered jailbreak achieved (video)

In less than 24 hours hackers could achieve untethered jailbreak on iPad iOS 4.3.
A new video was uploaded on Youtube by the well-known hacker i0nic shows untethered jailbreak on iPad iOS 4.3 in action. Check the video after the jump.


For those who don't know, untethered jailbreak is a jailbreak which enables you to reboot your device without need to re-jailbreak your device as it was on iOS 4.2.1 before Greenpois0n RC6.

As the hacker notes in the description of the video, the jailbreak is still in alpha stage and not ready for a public release.

New exploit discovered for permanent iPhone 4 unlock!

Well, it looks like there's always hopes!
After almost everyone knew that there's no iPhone 4 unlock in the coming days and it may take more months, MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team is telling us about a new exploit (NCK) which was discovered few hours ago and expected to permanently unlock the iPhone 4 basebands.

One of our Facebook fans demonstrated what's the NCK exploit as:

New exploit has been discovered that might unlock iPhone 4 permanently! NCK unlock code is just 40 bits! if turns out to be true, it's unexpected surprise for those w/vuln BB's. All the data is there for 40-bit brute force!!

This new exploit is under work and is yet to be tested out. These news has been confirmed by the most popular iPhone hacker MuscleNerd and the well-known iPhone enthusiast Vincent on their Twitter accounts:

MuscleNerd: To those patiently ignoring all the chatter from "promises" we never made comes a jewel: NCK unlock code is just 40 bits!

MuscleNerd: (if turns out to be true, it's unexpected surprise for those w/vuln BB's. All the data is there for 40-bit brute force)

Veeence: The NCK @MuscleNerd is talking about is the code that allows to unlock the baseband.

Veeence: The exploit the got now gives you enough information to bruteforce crack your unique NCK key -> gives you an (official) permanent unlock.

Anyway, we hope this new exploit really succeed to unlock iPhone 4 and we hope from our readers to relax, wait and stop bothering and harassing hackers.

Here’s What a 64GB iPhone 4 Looks Like on Video

A couple of days ago we reported on a story revolving around a mysterious 64GB iPhone 4 that seemed to have sprung out of nowhere.

Initial reports around the web indicated that the device was being sold on the grey markets in China.
Now a bit of clarification has been added to the mix, as it appears that this iPhone 4 is one of maybe a few prototypes that “leaked” out of Foxconn facilities. Check out video of the device inside…


As you can see from the video, the iPhone 4 definitely reeks of being a prototype. Notice that the + and – signs on the volume keys are nowhere to be found.
This device looks eerily similar to the iPhone 4 that Gizmodo acquired last year from a guy that left his prototype iPhone 4 lying helplessly in a bar.
Another point of note is that the silver ring that surrounds the camera lens in production iPhone 4′s is missing as well. That too is a feature identical to the iPhone 4 shown off by Gizmodo.

Judging from the similarities, I’m going to go on the limb as call this a pre-production iPhone 4 that just happened to find its way outside of Foxconn’s walls. I highly doubt we’ll ever see an iPhone 4 with 64GB of storage, but it’s definitely possible for the iPhone 5.
The good news is that Apple is indeed testing such storage capabilities, so at least they are contemplating it.
What do you think?

‘Photector’ is a Jailbreak Tweak That Protects Your iPhone’s Photos

Ever wish there was a quick and easy way to prevent your iPhone’s photos from being accidentally purged?

Apple kind of skimped on the data protection elements of iOS; there’s no native way to prevent someone from going into your camera roll, and deleting all of your photographs if they have access to your iPhone.
Again, the Cydia store comes to the rescue as another jailbreak tweak entitled Photector pops up on the scene to save the day…

Photector is a simple tweak that focuses solely on protecting your photos. You’re not going to find a lot of bells and whistles here, but what you do find is relevant and does the job well.

Photector uses two methods of protecting your photos; the first method is to eliminate the ability to use the delete function, and the second method is to require a password.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing natively in place to prevent any user from simply venturing into settings and disabling the tweak altogether.

I guess if you’re using this type of protection, your suspects are likely your 5 year old children and not some malicious hacker; in that case Photector should do the job.

If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can download Photector for free via the Cydia store.

Sound interesting?
