iPhone jailbreak: Sn0wbreeze 2.4 Beta 1 Released

March 29th, 2011 by ytechcity

iH8Sn0w has released Sn0wbreeze 2.4b1, and the Windows jailbreak tool will now jailbreak iOS 4.3.1. There’s already been a tethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 uncovered in PwnageTool, and both available jailbreaks are still tethered.

Sn0wbreeze is now the more stable option for jailbreak iOS 4.3.1, but there is still no untethered solution available. Jailbreak devs are working hard to release an official untethered jailbreak for the latest version of iOS, but there is no exact ETA set.

Here are the release notes for Sn0wbreeze 2.4b1:
ultrasn0w now works for basebands (01.59.00 / 04.26.08 / 05.11.07 / 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 / 06.15.00)
ultrasn0w is NOT compatible with the folllowing basebands! (02.10.04 / 03.10.01 / 04.10.01 / 05.14.02 / 05.15.04)
iOS 4.3.1 is now supported. • iPhone 3GS users can upgrade to 06.15.00 baseband now under Unlocks section in Expert.
• Upgrading your iPhone 3GS baseband to the 06.15.00 iPad baseband hack to unlock MAY cause you to lose your GPS!

Please take note that sn0wbreeze 2.4 is still in beta. It’s obvious the software is still buggy and not stable. So I suggest you to wait until the official version debuts before using it. However if you’re adventurous, you can download Sn0wbreeze 2.4 beta 1 from here.

If you already use Pulse, grab the update. If you haven’t tried Pulse News Mini yet, do it. This is the perfect time to see what a great iPhone app should look like. It’s no wonder that Pulse News Mini finds itself in the App Store’s Hall of Fame.

Has anyone used the new update?

WM7: Copy and paste in Windows Phone 7 Series

March 28th, 2011 by ytechcity

Microsoft has just released its NoDo update for Windows Phone which includes a much missed and very essential feature for the platform — copy & paste.

Along with copy & paste the NoDo update brings faster app load times and a improved Windows Phone Marketplace that produces better search results and better stability during longer app downloads. In addition to that Outlook users can now better see photo attachments sent from an iPhone on a non-Exchange account. Other fixes give the phone’s MAC address for Wi-Fi security and fix stability or syncing issues with audio, the camera, Facebook, and text messaging.

Microsoft will roll-out NoDo in phases and if you don’t already see a notification on your Windows Phone that an update is available, it should appear in the coming weeks or so.
