Re: Lifehacker, Emphasis on the ‘Hack’

Actually, this exploit is in the bootrom. It is no danger for the average user, like if it was an exploit in Safari or something. To get into "bootrom mode", the user must know exactly what they are doing, they need to boot their device in a special way with a special button combination. This is not something an average user would randomly do. Unless you know anyone that would randomly decide, "Hey, I'm going to restart my iPhone while holding down the home and power buttons for 30 seconds, and then go on the internet and download a random program that runs a ramdisk that kills my iPhone (no program like this has been made to date)", then this article is nothing but a bunch of FUD.

I am to assume you did not read geohotz blog post on this jb? We helped put it together.

while that is true, and iboot exploit was still needed :)

We've worked briefly once on the ipt2 jailbreak, otherwise he is iphonedev only and never was on chronicdev.

nah, its a new processor, so it natively runs that fast. put it this way, if it was overclocked (aka, put beyond what it is meant to be), then the battery would die much faster :P

I'd like to clear up the iFPGA thing. this just means that it is a debug chip that Apple uses so they can reflash and debug with ease, and then when the firmware for that chip is final the production units / development units (special chipid allowing access to engineering bl commands) are produced.

Indeed.

No thanks.

look before you speak. we had the ipt2 jb'd on 3.0 (never released because we did not have time to put together a tool), tons of info still contributed to http://theiphonewiki.com/, responsible for untethered jailbreak of the ipt2, etc.

delicious.

Re: 3G[s]

chronicdev — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 10:31:15 -0000

nope, as that one is:
1. not unlockable, has new bootloader which does not have the downgrade exploit
2. with a 2year contract
3. only black 8GB, while mine is a white 16GB
4. etc.

feel free to make a (reasonable) offer, the point is to see aroudn what people are willing to pay for it.

I don't mean to be "that guy", but I removed the links to the website hosting the 3.0gm firmware. Google it if you _really_ want it. Nothing personal, I just don't want to deal with any legal issues since fw distribution breaks NDA technically.

it can have a few meanings depending on how you think of it. one of them is the fact that I am a huge fan of the CCC(ongress)

Re: redsn0w (full) - beta

chronicdev — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:45:14 -0000

yeah. they contact the mothership and hash all of the firmware images now. not anything that a little bit of extra work (on our part) can't get around though :)

@mistake:

I don't agree with it, as I have many developer friends that are just trying to make a bit of cash because of all the work I see them doing on their applications. But the people using warez aren't going to suddenly see "I see the light!" and start buying apps, because they are probably broke / are teenagers that don't have jobs so couldn't pay if they wanted to, so I don't really actively go around yelling at people :P I just don't want discussion here though because I do not want any legal issues.

Re: redsn0w (full) - beta

chronicdev — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:03:23 -0000

no worries, I just don't want any un-needed legal issues, that's all.

Re: redsn0w (full) - beta

chronicdev — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:16:47 -0000

Please do not talk about warez here, I don't want to get in trouble. There are plenty of other places with offshore servers to talk about his :P

Why would I be the one to randomly start the conversation with someone I don't know?

yes, no restore is needed

chronicdev — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:42:54 -0000

ah, sorry, that was phrased wrong. I meant, if you are using an unsupported carrier, and were "unlocked" with yellowsn0w, not officially unlocked. I will fix that, thanks :)

I would not go as far as to say we are at a "post-jailbreak" stage now :)
