According to recent tweets from members of iPhone Dev-Team, the all new ultrasn0w which has been written again from scratch for unlocking iPhone 4 is all set and ready.

The wait now is probably for comex to package and release the new all iOS device jailbreak so that this new ultrasn0w can be released for iPhone 4.

Planetbeing: We’re gonna be able to give you an unlock with the jailbreak.

Planetbeing: It will probably be the usual thing where you jailbreak and then install ultrasn0w from Cydia.

MuscleNerd: @Gangstatyzz hmm just staying the unlock is ready now, for whenever the public JB is done + debugged + packaged

Earlier today, the guy behind Spirit jailbreak tool came out with a series of tweets which hints towards the possibility of the “next version” of Spirit jailbreak tool coming very soon.

We don’t know for sure if it will be called Spirit or Spirit v2, but what we know is that it is based on userland exploit, and that it will work with all iOS based devices including iPhone 4 on iOS 4.0.1 / 4.1 and iPad on iOS 3.2.1.

We all know why Geohot left the whole jailbreak scene. He has already deleted his Twitter account, and his blog is set to invite-only viewing only.

However before deleting his Twitter account, Geohot said to follow his friend Mike Cohen for all the future updates on jailbreak.

He also said that “perhaps one of these days i’ll do a more formal goodbye”.  And now it looks like he is probably going to make a comeback (perhaps for the last time?) with a new tool to jailbreak all iOS devices once and for all. This is what his friend mikecohenn wrote today:

According to the description of Handy Light, an iPhone app developed by Nick Lee, its a convenient flashlight for the iPhone, which lets you choose from 5 designer colors. Is it worth $0.99, probably not as there are quite a few free iPhone apps in that category.

But what if we told you that it brings unofficial SOCKS Proxy tethering to the iPhone.

Update:

Handy Light has been removed from the App Store.

Lee has posted the following YouTube video, which demonstrates how to enable the hidden feature.

Folks at AppShopper have followed the instructions provided in the video and have confirmed that tethering works as expected.

iOS 4.0.1 was released earlier today for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G. Fortunately for all iPhone unlockers, the baseband wasn’t upgraded from 05.13.04, which means you can unlock your iPhone even on iOS 4.0.1.

Since currently there is no jailbreak tool available for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), and the current jailbreak tools for iPhone 3GS (old bootrom) are not compatible with iOS 4.0.1, so the only device which can be currently be jailbroken and unlocked on iOS 4.0.1 is iPhone 3G.

How to: Jailbreak iPhone 3G on iOS 4.0.1:
Step 1: Follow the complete guide posted here to jailbreak your iPhone 3G using Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 on iOS 4.0.1.

How to: Unlock iPhone (Any Baseband) on iOS 4.0.1:

The following step by step guide will help you rollback to iOS 4, iPhone 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 from iOS 4.1 Beta as long as you have SHSH blobs saved for the respective firmwares for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPod touches.

If you have an iPhone 3G and you have this feeling that upgrading to iOS 4 has slowed down your device and that you want to go back to iPhone 3.1.3 / 3.1.2.

Or if you are one of those iPhone 3GS (new bootrom) or iPod touch 3G / 2G (MC model) user who has upgraded to iOS 4 only to find out that you cant jailbreak it can follow the instructions posted below to downgrade iOS 4.0 to iOS (formerly iPhone 3.1.3 or 3.1.2).

Step 1: Download the old iOS 4 ipsw firmware files. (Download links can be found here)

Step 2: Put your device into DFU mode (not recovery mode).

• Connect your iPhone to your computer.
• Turn iPhone off.
• Start iTunes.
• Hold Power and Home buttons together for 10 seconds or so.
• Release Power button but keep holding the Home button until your computer recognizes a new USB device.
• iTunes will now recognize your iPhone.

Note: Your iPhone screen at this time should be blank (black in color), if not, then you are most likely in Recovery Mode, not DFU mode.

(Step 3 is for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS users only. If you are on iPhone 3G or iPod touch 2G (non-MC model), skip Step 3 and continue from Step 4)

Step 3: This step is applicable to Read more…

Let me clear this upfront. This is strictly for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) only.

If your iPhone 3G relies on an unlock, DO NOT update to iOS 4.1 Beta now as the current version of ultrasn0w cannot unlock this new firmware.

If you have iPhone 3G (which doesn’t rely on an unlock), or an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model), then simply follow the guide posted to below jailbreak your device on iOS 4.1 Beta using Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5.

It looks like iOS 4.1 beta 1 also includes some minor improvements in addition to the fix for the incorrect display of signal strength.

Macrumors forum members have discovered that iOS 4.1 includes Game Center, Apple’s social gaming network with a brand new look.

Macrumors reports:

Game Center is Apple’s matchmaking and leaderboard social network for iOS games. The lack of Game Center in the official iOS 4.0 release caused some confusion, but Apple had never intended Gamecenter to be launched alongside 4.0. Instead, Apple had promised Game Center to come out later this year.

It remains in beta testing for now with no announced release date. The style of the app, however, has been dramatically changed from the original release. Read more…

Yes you read that right ! The newly released iOS 4.1 is jailbreakable using Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5.

All you need is the latest iOS 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G or iPod touch 2G (non-MC Models) and you can jailbreak it using Redsn0w on Windows and Mac.

Again, this is strickly for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non-MC models) only.

Apple has just released the first beta version of iOS 4.1 (build 8B5080c) and iOS SDK 4.1 for developers of its iPhone Developer Program.

It is not clear what’s new or has changed in the new version of iOS.

iOS 4.1 Beta 1 is available for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 3rd and 2nd generation.

Apple had released a public statement in response to the widely publicized iPhone 4 reception problem two weeks back to confirm that they’re incorrectly displaying the signal strength, which will be fixed with a software update that will provide users a much better indication of the reception that they are getting in a given area.

We’re not sure if Apple has released iOS 4.1 to fix the signal strength display issue.

We were expecting Apple to release a minor update (iOS 4.0.1) to address the iPhone 4 reception problem as it is turning out to be a PR nightmare for Apple.

We will let you know if the first beta version of iPhone OS 4.1  and SDK reveals any interesting new features.
