Pod2g Gives iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak To Chronic Dev Team For Release, Focuses On iPad 2 / iPhone 4S Jailbreak

Hey, jailbreaks, look at what news we’re bringing today! The iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak is almost here and guess what? GreenPois0n jailbreak tool will be back bringing iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak for all A4 devices. Pod2g has recently updated his blog with a post informing users about the latest decision he made regarding his untethered jailbreak on iOS 5.0.1.

Pod2g says that he handed over the keys of his untethered jailbreak (which will untether iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1) to the Chronic Dev Team so that they can test it, finish it and release the jailbreak as soon as possible.

I gave all the details to the chronic dev team so that they can finish, test, integrate and release the A4 jb ASAP.

Moreover, pod2g mentioned that he’ll now focus on jailbreaking A5 devices as the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. He hopes that he find a path quickly.

I need to focus on A5 and hope I can find a path quick, and I have the feeling that chronic-dev could help me.

Well, in my opinion, I see this is good news for both iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S users since the iPhone 4 users will get the jailbreak very soon (I mean it) and iPhone 4S users will see some good progress in the next few days.

For now, you can subscribe to our newsletter to get the news once it’s here.

Music Controls Pro Is The Ultimate Tweak For Music Lovers (Jailbreak)

Those who have been in search of an app that helps them to control their music collection easily can now stop searching because a new app is here to fulfill their needs. “Music Controls Pro” is a new version of the tweak and allows to control up to 46 music programs including Spotify, Grooveshark, Pandora as well as the standard iPod app.

It includes dock metadata for car stereos, SBSetting toggle options and remote server support. The remote server gives the option of controlling the music that is being played between on your iPhone from another iPhone through WiFi. Currently priced at $5.99 , it is also available for free trial of 5 days. The app is available in the Cydia store but it is recommended to explore the app through the trial first as their are reports that the tweak is crashing or not functioning properly.

For installation, you will need a jailbroken iOS device. You can follow our instructions to jailbreak iOS 5 tethered, semi-tetheredor iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak. Once jailbroken, head to Cydia and search for ‘Music Controls Pro’.

Unlock iPhone 4 And iPhone 3GS On Any Baseband Without Jailbreak

A successful unlock to T-Mobile in US and other nation’s networks have been reported using the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. The method could be a bug and may be fixed with the next update of iOS.

First you need to know that this will only work until TMSI is refreshed, meaning that the unlock won’t stay for a long time. We have already posted the how-to guide to unlock the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS (follow the guide posted here). A little elbow grease may be required as swapping SIM cards is an integral part of the process and they need to have approximately the same size.

In the U.S., if you choose T-mobile for the iPhone carrier, you need to cut the standard iPhone SIM card to fit into the T-Mobile Micro-SIM slot. The best thing is this isn’t going to impact it’s functionality. You can use Google to find out the best way to do SIM card resizing if you can’t figure it out yourself.

When T-Mobile were left out from recieving an iPhone device, Sprint was the only new U.S carrier left for an iPhone device. When acquisition from AT&T happened, T-Mobile customer’s saw their wait come to an end. Before that, it would have been impossible for unlocking or using an iPhone 4 without a jailbreak.

If you have unlocked your iPhone successfully, don’t update your device when Apple releases iOS 5.0.2. This might  be an unexpected bug in the Apple iOS update. iOS 5.0.2 software update is expected to bring a remedy and an end to the simple unlocking process.

If you have been successful in unlocking your phone using this strategy, we would like to hear from you below.

How To Make Custom Shortcuts For Your Favorite Settings Without Jailbreak

After the release of iPhone 4S back in October 2011,we have got many features but without jailbreak. I know that it was the latest release in Apple iPhone’s that is why there weren’t any chances of jailbreak in it. Every one knows that jail breaking has provided us many luxurious settings like Wifi, Blue tooth, and Air plane mode etc.

Many people today are still unaware of how to set custom shortcuts for your settings as WiFi and Airplane mode since they were used to jailbreak their iOS devices. In this article you will learn how to set all your favorite settings without the use of jailbreak.
First we use IconProject to create the custom icons with specific URL links to assure their settings app sections. You can buy this IconProject from the app store for just $0.99. It is very easy to use and the far best app I have seen.

It is not a replacement for SBSettings since they can be allowed for direct toggle. It also provides shortcut for setting apps. I know it is not a replacement. It is just a compromise until the untethered jailbreak on iOS 5 will be released.

You can get shortcut addresses to the various panels of the Settings app. Once you download the app on your iPhone, open it and add your favorite URL to create icons.

Here are all the shortcuts in the Settings app:

About — prefs:root=General&path=About
Accessibility — prefs:root=General&path=ACCESSIBILITY
Airplane Mode On — prefs:root=AIRPLANE_MODE
Auto-Lock — prefs:root=General&path=AUTOLOCK
Brightness — prefs:root=Brightness

Get The Android Ice 4.0 Cream Sandwich LockScreen On Your iOS Now (Jailbreak)

Due to the ever increasing battle between smartphone devices present in the market, mainly by Apple, Android and Microsoft Windows, the frequent product and features updates coming into the market, not every feature can be captured by a company’s competitors.

Companies have been battling to get patents regarding a unique feature that they come up with first, so as their rivals cannot introduce the same feature in their next model.

Comparing these smartphones on the basis of their lock screens, Apple was the pioneer of the “slide to unlock” screen feature. To prohibit its rivals from copying this special feature the company obtained patent rights for it. Its competitors came up with a slightly different, yet creative version of the “slide to unlock” screen feature, such as the “join the dots” features seen in most Android smart phones.

Google is seen to be working on the Ice Cream Sandwich, which includes various cosmetic updates for its smart phone, including the lock screen feature.

You can find a jailbreak tweak on Cydia which enables you to get the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich theme to your iOS. You can find this tweak by the name of AndroidLockXT on Cydia if you wish to experience the Ice Cream Sandwich theme on your iOS software.

You surely must jailbreak your device. You can use our guide to jailbreak iOS 5 tethered, semi-tethered or iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak. Once jailbroken, head to Cydia and search for AndroidLockXT then install it.

iDownloadBlog has made a video showing it in action:

Enable Hidden Autocorrection Bar In iOS 5 With This Jailbreak Tweak (The Easy Way)

It was only yesterday when an android-like autocorrection bar in the iOS 5 keyboard was discovered and we showed you a guide to do it by editing some plist files. Today, we’ve got something much easier for normal users to enable the hidden autocorrection bar in iOS 5, a jailbreak tweak.

A new jailbreak tweak named AutocorrectionBar developed by the well-known developer Ryan Petrich which allows you to easily enable the hidden autocorrection bar in iOS 5 that is similar to the Android’s one.
This autocorrection bar will change the method by which iOS 5 displays the autocorrect alternative words since 2007. It will bring new way to correct your words and even adds a button for accessing action methods (select, paste, etc.).
You can install the tweak by jailbreaking your device on iOS 5 (follow the guide here) or iOS 5.0.1 (guide here) then open Cydia and search for “AutocorrectionBar”. Hit the install button then tap on Settings, AutocorrectionBar and change it to ON.

How To Enable Android-Like Autocorrect Keyboard Hidden In iOS 5 (No Jailbreak Required)

We’ve already seen the panoramic camera mode hidden in iOS 5 and now something interesting discovered by Sonny Dickson. A new feature found in iOS 5 allows you to enable android-like autocorrect keyboard. The method doesn’t require jailbreak and it’s similar to the one of the panorama camera mode.


You’ll need to do a backup for your date via iTunes. Just connect your device into your computer, open iTunes and right click on the iPhone icon then hit backup. Now let’s do it.
STEP 1: Get iBackupBot which can be found here.
STEP 2: Locate your backup from iBackupBot and then find Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboard.plist.
STEP 3: Open the file and add the below code:

KeyboardAutocorrectionListsYES

STEP 4: Save the file and close iBackupBot.
STEP 5: Finally, open iTunes and right click on the icon then hit Restore from Backup and select the backup you edited.
NOTE: For jailbreakers, you can use SSH method better as it won’t need you to restore from backup. You know how to do it!
The iPhone will reboot (and you’ll of course need tethered boot if its jailbroken). You’ll be able to use the awesome autocorrect feature.

iOS 5 Panorama Camera Mode Uncovered, New Jailbreak Tweak Coming To Enable The Feature

We’ve previously told you that the Panorama camera mode in iOS camera app was found inside iOS 5 betas’ code. Some hackers today were able to enable the panorama camera mode of the Camera app in iOS 5 by changing a key value in the iOS SDK.


The exposed panorama mode allows iPhone users to capture a panorama image by snapping photos continually from left to right. The screenshot below showing how the interface works on the iOS camera app.

A sample of an image taken with panorama mode:

The hack to enable panorama camera mode was found by Conrad Kramer and the developer claims (on Twitter) that he’ll be releasing a new tweak to allow everyone to get it. (update: the tweak coming out tomorrow).

Since the files are there on iOS 5 and the mode successfully enable, Apple will be surely releasing the feature soon. Jailbreak always makes things happen before Apple does.

iOS 5 Untethered Jailbreak Hole Discovered By Chronic Dev Team

We’ve seen 7 betas of iOS 5, iOS 5 GM, final release of iOS 5 and two betas of iOS 5.0.1 but we haven’t seen an iOS 5 untethered jailbreak yet. Only iOS 5 tethered jailbreak is currently available and that’s mean you’ll need to connect your iOS device every time it’s rebooted. However, iOS 5 semi untethered jailbreak was released two weeks ago closing the gap between the tethered and untethered jailbreak.

Today some news coming from pod2g about the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak. Pod2g, a member of the Chronic Dev Team, claims that he has discovered a hole that can untether iOS 5 jailbreak.

Hey jailbreaking friends, I’ve found a bug that can untether iOS 5. Don’t expect a release soon, but I’m gonna work hard in it.

We haven’t heard any news about what kind of exploits that jailbreak will be. It’s most likely going to be userland jailbreak like JailbreakMe jailbreak tool.

This bug discovered by Pod2g won’t jailbreak iPad 2 or iPhone 4S, instead, it will only convert iOS 5 tethered jailbreak into untethered one. iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak was discovered by the iPhone Dev Team few weeks ago.

The iOS 5 untethered jailbreak will not be released soon. Pod2g and other team members will be working hard to get it fully working on iOS 5. We’ll surely update you whenever something happens, I recommend you follow me on Google+ and Twitter to get the updates immediately.

Firebreak: Jailbreak Tweak Makes It Very Easy To Enable Panorama Mode In Camera App In iOS 5

Few minutes back, we had reported that an iOS developer and hacker had figured out a way to enable the hidden Panorama mode in the Camera app in iOS 5.

chpwn - developer of jailbreak apps such as developer of jailbreak apps such as Infiniboard, Infinidock,Infinifolder, ProSwitcher,VoiceActivator has just released a jailbreak tweak called Firebreak that enables the Panorama mode in iOS 5 for users who have jailbroken their iPhone.

chpwn just tweeted the availability of the tweak on Cydia:

Firebreak (enable the hidden iOS 5 panorama) is now out in Cydia!

(Also, a quick appslide update for Notification Center issues is out.)

The jailbreak tweak enables the feature by setting 'EnableFirebreak' to YES in com.apple.mobileslideshow.plist.

The Panorama mode needs a gyroscope, so it will only work with iPhone 4 currently and whenever a jailbreak is available for iPhone 4S and iPad 2.

You can download the jailbreak tweak for free from Cydia.

Stay Away From iOS 5.0.1 If You Want Future Jailbreak For iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iOS 5 Untethered

Two days ago, a very dangerous flaw in the security system for iOS was discovered by security researcher Charlie Miller which allow any app to be remotely download and execute malicious, system-level code on an iPhone. Apple, just few hours after the flaw was known, banned the app developer and may release iOS 5.0.1 for public very soon to fix this security flaw.

The iPhone hacker pod2g few days ago announced that he found a bug in iOS 5 which will allow untethered jailbreak on the software. After founding the security flaw mentioned above, the iOS 5 jailbreak and iPhone 4S jailbreak became  “dramatically easier.” as tweeted by pod2g.

That’s why I’m writing this post; to tell you that you’ve to stay away and don’t update to iOS 5.0.1 when it’s released to the public very soon. iOS 5.0.1 will surely fix the security flaw found by Miller which means that jailbreaking will be even more difficult.

Pod2g has been asked about how will people get the battery fix included in iOS 5.0.1, pod2g said:

some dev may create a package on Cydia containing the differences between 5.0 and 5.0.1.

We’ve seen iPhone 4S and iPad 2 already jailbroken on iOS 5 by the iPhone Dev Team. Founding exploits now became more easier with this security flaw. An iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iOS 5 untethered jailbreak are now on the horizon.

In brief, if you really care about the next iOS 5 jailbreak on all devices including the 4S and the 2nd-generation iPad, you’d better prevent yourself from updating to iOS 5.0.1.

Chronic Dev Team: Bug Found In iOS 5 That Could Bring Untethered Jailbreak

There is finally some good news for users who want an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.

iPhone hacker pod2g of the Chronic Dev Team has just announced that he has discovered a bug in iOS 5 that could help in developing an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.

pod2g announced the discovery of the bug via the following tweet:

Hey jailbreaking friends, I've found a bug that can untether iOS 5. Don't expect a release soon, but I'm gonna work hard in it.

It is not clear whether the bug also exists in iOS 5.0.1 beta that Apple has seeded to developers of iOS developer program. pod2g also hasn't mentioned if the untethered jailbreak will work on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.

iPhone Dev team and iH8sn0w have released Redsn0w and Sn0wbreeze to jailbreak iOS 5.0 and iOS 5.0.1 betas, but they only support a tethered jailbreak. BigBoss has also developed a hack called SemiTether that allows users to reboot their tethered jailbroken iOS 5 device without the need to connect it to the computer, but it has some limitations. So many users especially iPhone users have been eagerly waiting for an untethered jailbreak.

pod2g also hasn't provided an ETA on when the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 will be released, but with Apple expected to release iOS 5.0.1 very soon, we expect the Chronic Dev team to release the untethered jailbreak only after iOS 5.0.1 is released. They will probably release a new version of greenpois0n - their popular jailbreak tool, which supports the untethered jailbreak.

As always, we'll let you know if there is any further updates, so stay tuned here at iPhone Hacks or join our Facebook Fan page or follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our RSS feed.
