If you want the beta, you'll have to come into our IRC chat with all of the other testers. wrath.conceitedsoftware.com is the server and #redtool is the room. See ya there.

A July release seems very plausible, I just have to cross these other hurdles =P

This is unclear at this time, but hopefully yes.

No problem. And as a matter of fact, right after that post, I tried one more time and it was a success. Give it some time to mature, I'll make another post soon =]

Re: Demo Time!

@wesker: no telling how long that's been there, probably since the first few days of development. I would say I was just scoping out the competition... I haven't used anything from your package, just in case you were wondering.

@iPod touch: With the way I started out writing AppManager, it was very difficult to add custom repos. I will be adding support for them post redTool 2.0.

@Adrian, you only have to reboot the first time your device is being setup, or if your configuration has been somehow broken/corrupted. Otherwise, it only takes one reboot to install any number of packages :)

And as for the website, I don't have a ton of control over the iPod part, it's a third party wordpress plugin.

@CurveBall: redTool 1.02 should work on Vista just fine, I tested it as well as many others. redTool 2.0 will be no different.

@vannann: I'm going to go as hard as I can on it, that's for sure.

I haven't worked on the backup thing. Chances are that it won't come in the onset of 2.0, but rather something like 2.1 or 2.2, depending on how many bug fixes I have to make. It isn't like I'm being lazy, but I found a serious flaw in my previous plan... I will have to investigate apt-backup some more and if I can't get that to work... I have some other ideas as well.

No news on the Mac version. That isn't necessarily my project, and I obviously can't run anything .NET on a Mac. I may be able to use the C++ version to make a carbon based application, but I'm not too sure on that. Right now creating a Mac version on my own is beyond the scope of my plans. Talk to Gojohnnyboi about his progress, I haven't talked to him in a few days but it seems like he hasn't been working on the app but rather other projects.

This is the current game plan. I'm going to release redTool 2.0 for the iPod touch 2G. After that is running and is smooth, I'll work next on iPhone and iPod touch 1G support. This will be easy in some ways and difficult in other ways, I should be able to add support for the other devices within a week's time, hopefully.

I'm excited to be bringing support but I need to finish 2.0 support for my current install base first :D

Currently, it is written simply in visual studio 2008. I'm not sure of the font, whatever the default is I think :)

Re: Announcing redTool 2.0

Chris — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:17:21 -0000

As the post says, this is announced and not released. We are hoping to have released it within two weeks, but we aren't completely sure we'll make that deadline. You can use your updater to get any minor updates though :)

Re: Announcing redTool 2.0

Chris — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:17:49 -0000

I received it, but I didn't reply. redTool is freeware and I will not commercialize anything that should and will always remain, freeware. And yes, I consider paying me money to develop a utility for you, commercialization.

I don't have 8.1.1, it could have thrown a monkey wrench into things.. I wouldn't think so though. Probably a system configuration issue. Does iTunes recognize the iPod? Have you tried a different USB port?

Re: Jailbreaking 3.0 on the 2G

Chris — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:40:51 -0000

Look around, there is a modified version of the standard quickpwn that is designed to jailbreak the iPhone, iPod touch 1G, and the iPhone 3G. This was created by some russians and is not considered anything official.

Re: Two Birds. One stone.

Chris — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:46:34 -0000

You may login to the site using the menu item on the right hand side of the blog :)

Eric, it's hard to help you going off of that info... you need to have iTunes installed and your iPod connected for that to work... give me more info please.

Re: Two Birds. One stone.

Chris — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:55:44 -0000

No, I'm saying that a tester brought that to my attention. Restore to that firmware from recovery mode and you'll be fine. To do that, use the menu item to boot the iPod into recovery mode, then restore to the NOR-Only firmware. I'll be fixing this in 1.03.

Re: Two Birds. One stone.

Chris — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:51:51 -0000

Yeah, that is to be expected. Let me ask a question, when you did it that first time, were you doing a NOR only?

Re: Two Birds. One stone.

Chris — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:37:58 -0000

Yeah, update redTool and you'll get a fixed exe. I found that bug last night.

Re: Two Birds. One stone.

Chris — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:55:15 -0000

It just depends on the graphic to be honest. You may also want to run your updater to get a small silent update I just posted for a stability fix in the injecter.

As for the 200kb thing, that's why I added a live preview function :)

Re: Two Birds. One stone.

Chris — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:15:57 -0000

I'd say your logo is either too large or not formatted correctly. Try some other, pre-made logos that others have had success with and see if they work. I believe the image has to have an alpha layer and/or 1 pixel of transparency somewhere in the graphic. It's best to stay below 200kb in file size and it must be under 320x480 in dimension.

Hope that helps :)

Re: Jailbreaking 3.0 on the 2G

Chris — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:42:22 -0000

I forgot about that. I'll post more info about it after I release 1.02 tonight. And yes, it's coming tonight.

Re: Jailbreaking 3.0 on the 2G

Chris — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 14:47:54 -0000

No, MobileTerminal, as well as most other jailbroken apps, aren't compatible with 3.0 yet.

Re: Jailbreaking 3.0 on the 2G

Chris — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 10:21:07 -0000

We will not discuss anything related to cracked apps. Post deleted.

However, I can include any patches needed, but that probably won't be one of them.

Re: Jailbreaking 3.0 on the 2G

Chris — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 21:38:43 -0000

Oh yeah.. gimme a few minutes.

Re: Jailbreaking 3.0 on the 2G

Chris — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:59:59 -0000

The main point of this is to integrate it into redTool behind the scenes so that when the official firmware drops, redTool can be released within a few hours to support it. It's also cool that we did this =P

There are other things that can benefit from several components of this jailbreak as well.
