This time of year, it’s easy to get caught up in the frantic holiday hubbub–finding the right gifts, waiting in long lines, wrapping until the wee hours. And, half the time, the gifts aren’t even quite right for the receivers. Let’s face it: holidays can be stressful, especially when gift giving is involved. How can [...]

I wonder why I am the one accused of stealing
and then NOBODY gives me the credit for what I have done.
The only 2 things I did in the iPhone scene
were to DUMP THE 837 KEY and booting from an unsigned ramdisk.
(nobody even understood what it was when
I posted it on my blog).
Now the so called "dev team" released their tool
and I see no mention of that.
George Hotz wrote a code based on dev team tool
to "execute unsigned code at dfu level"...
Look at the start of the code:
const unsigned char key837[]={0x18,0x84,0x58,0xA6,0xD1,0x50,0x34,0xDF,0xE3,0x86,0xF2,0x3B,0x61,0xD4,0x37,0x74};
That is the key I dumped.
Without it NO TOOL could ever be possible.
That's why I called it a "major breakthru" at that time.
That key also made it possible to decrypt the ramdisk and
create a custom one.
Now if you remember I have always credited people
(george hotz for his unlock based on gray's work and
many members of iphone-elite that now are calling
themselves "dev team").
Now I won't say anyone stole anything.
But these are the FACTS.
Dev team did an impressive team work this time
and even if I don't personally like the tool I see
no other way to do things on 2.0.
(If I'll see one I'll tell you) :)
The same people accusing me
of "stealing" didn't EVER credit me for what
I've done.
And I repeat for who wasn't
reading at that time:
no ZiPhone (iLiberty/iPlus) could
ever be existed without the ramdisk
exploit I found and
no "pwns" without the 837 key.

It looks like version 0.9 of ultrasn0w fixed up the vast majority of any problems people were seeing with the 3G/3GS carrier unlock. But here’s a brief list of fixes for anyone still seeing problems:
-
Unusual battery depletion is almost always caused by people choosing to “Restore from backup” instead of “Setup as new iPhone” when iTunes asks you. This isn’t caused by either the jailbreak or the unlock, but it’s a common 3.0 snafu. The fix is to just re-run the official 3.0 restore and choose “Setup as new” this time. Your music and apps and all that will still be synced, but you’ll get rid of any conflicting wifi, bluetooth, or carrier settings. Then just re-run redsn0w and install ultrasn0w.
-
Remember, ultrasn0w works with hacktivated phones too, but don’t outsmart redsn0w into thinking you don’t need hacktivation! If you don’t plan on using an official sim, don’t activate via iTunes with such a sim. Just keep your unofficial sim at all times and let redsn0w and ultrasn0w handle hacktivation :)
-
T-Mobile in the USA doesn’t use the 3G frequencies that the iPhones support, so turn off 3G in Settings->General->Network. (Some T-Mobile territories gracefully hand down to Edge mode, but most do not).
-
Certain unofficial plans have limitations on whether you can make calls and use data at the same time. That’s not unlock-related.
-
Some people have installed previous versions of ultrasn0w using non-standard techniques. While the ultrasn0w 0.9 update should have removed all previous versions of ultrasn0w, these users may have outsmarted our removal. So make sure you don’t still see /usr/bin/ultrasn0w present if you’re at ultrasn0w 0.9 (which doesn’t have such a binary anymore).
-
If you don’t need or plan to update to ultrasn0w 0.9 from a previous version, you can avoid having that red badge over Cydia by removing repo666 as a Cydia source. Don’t worry, you can always add it back later :) If you follow us on twitter you’ll be advised of any new updates anyway.
Last but not least, many thanks to our resident blog moderators, angiepangie and Confucious. They’re doing a fantastic job helping people in the comments, and so are other volunteers. Thank you all for your contributions!

This time of the year we spend most of our time thinking about getting our homes and gardens ready for winter so it seems strange to be thinking about spring flowers. However, the months of October, November and even December are exactly the right time to be planting spring bulbs, since bulbs need at least 12 weeks in the ground before they flower.
