Hello all,

We wish you a very happy, healthy, and hopeful 2009!

Once you have installed yellowsn0w, please report your success or failure here. it’ll help us with the bug fixes.

We have released the 0.9.5 beta yellowsn0w 3G unlock application, 0.9.5 beta should fix quite a few problems including some STK issues . Please remember to add feedback -> here <- as we can get useful feedback that will help us. We suggest that everyone upgrade to this version.

Please note the following:

BASICS

• The unlock works exclusively with baseband 02.28.00. This baseband is provided by the latest firmware update (2.2) from Apple.  You’ll need to upgrade to this release using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to activate etc. There are plenty of tutorials about this on iclarified, bigboss, modmi and other established tutorial sites.  Because it works on 02.28.00, it is available to everyone on the planet.  This means we don’t need to unnecessarily expose holes in earlier basebands, which is an important concern.
• The application is a small daemon that is launched on boot.  It injects the payload at boot and also whenever there is a baseband reset.  You won’t notice anything about it other than that your third-party sim now works.  It’s a small program and unobtrusive.  There is no GUI (this is by design).
• You can add the application using the sources outlined below. There are Cydia and Installer sources available, so use whichever you are comfortable using.
• yellowsn0w is completely removable through Cydia, the command line, and iTunes.

DETAILS

• There is a known issue with SIM cards that have STK (SIM Toolkit) application menus.  These menus are usually items such as “top up” “get credit” “lotto numbers” etc. These menu items confuse the application sometimes.  Removing and reinserting the SIM once after reboot (give it about 10 secs 60 seconds (with v0.9.1) after you see the slide to unlock widget) fixes this issue.  We’re working on a better fix.  Update: version 0.9.4 fixes this for many (but probably not all) users who previously had to wait a minute and then replug the sim.
• For those of you using SIM cards without STK menus, the application has some optional arguments that will make the unlock much faster for you.  So either experiment on your own (use “yellowsn0w -h” for usage) or wait for a customization writeup.
• After you install yellowsn0w via Cydia, you should return to the Cydia main menu then reboot your iPhone with the 3rd party SIM installed.  Wait for the slide to unlock screen, then wait 10 or 15 secs more.   If you don’t see your carrier name pop up, then remove your SIM, reinsert it, and wait 10 secs more.  This is the step we’ll be working on eliminating next.

RANDOM

• The application is version 0.9.5  This is considered beta software, you use it at your own risk. You know the score.
• The application is released on a non-commerical basis.  Please do not accept pirates and scummy ripoffs of this software. We license this software for single use and in a non-commerical environment (meaning you can’t charge for it). The techniques and methods used are not to be used by third party companies. We are watching you Jody…we won’t be so forgiving this time.
• Direct linking to the repository URLs is prohibited, please only link to this post. We will be checking referers.
• Happy 2009 and enjoy!

The iPhone 3G is used all over the world with all sorts of SIM cards, and we almost certainly will see untested and unexpected situations.  If the soft unlock doesn’t work for you on day 1 (literally day 1, of 2009!) then please don’t panic or be impatient.  This is new territory for everyone, so enjoy the ride as much as you can

UPDATES

1. Soon you’ll see yellowsn0w 0.9.1 in the repos.  It uses a much longer delay to let your SIM card initialize.  If you have problems with 0.9.0, try this one and wait a full minute after you see homescreen, then reinsert sim card.  We need both success and failure reports to tune this across the world, so please be patient (but please also report result!) As of v 0.9.4 there’s no longer a one-minute delay step.  If you don’t see your carrier when your homescreen comes up, you may still need a sim reinsert (for now).
2. If you are in the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G switch in Settings.  Also if you are good with the command line, you can make it much easier by adding the line <string>-q</string> right after the /usr/bin/yellowsn0w line in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.iphone-dev.yellowsn0w.plist  (that’s and advanced tip, hopefully someone will make a boosprefs type of tool for it) The -q option is now deprecated in 0.9.4+ (it’s now always in quick mode, unless you use the -l option for long mode).
3. No PIN support yet. Remember how we said this was beta?  Well we’re still working out the flow for SIMs with PINs enabled.  Please disable any PIN you may have on that SIM before trying yellowsn0w, for now.
4. The unlock will silently quit on anything other than baseband 02.28.00. It detects the wrong version and just quits to avoid any damage.  Please double check your Modem Firmware setting in Settings->General->About.
5. For ankle-biters that are pointlessly reversing the application the source is here all open, but remember Jody, we are watching you.
6. Thanks for the kind words Stephen

真是道高一尺魔高一丈，人家好不容易写成的代码，想赚一笔，但是貌似不是那么回事儿了，终于知道程序员的收入为什么会越来越少了，出了新东西当然就有人会破解的喽，不过对于穷人们(能买iphone的还是穷人？？可耻哦！！也包括我吧)还是守财奴们或许是一些认为不值得出钱的人们（最可耻，人家好不容易才写好的，怎么说也该出点吧），还是习惯于使用破解的东东

如果您还没有安装iphone video recorder，可以直接安装破解版的 只需要在installer中添加资源 http://repo.cnpda.com.cn ， 你就可以看到这个资源了

至于Touchpad pro，首先确认你已经安装了原版 Touchpad pro 4.3X，然后只需要把 这个文件 解压缩之后得到的touchpad文件覆盖iphone内 Applications/Touchpad.app/touchpad 即可

经测试使用正常

今天测试了一款iphone的第三方软件，一款可以遥控你电脑的软件，也就是把你的iphone全触屏做成了一个类如笔记本的触摸板

安装步骤也很简单，只需要从installer安装touchpad pro然后下载安装TightVNC接着运行TightVNC 然后把鼠标移向右下方的TightVNC的图标，就可以看到自己的ip了，此软件需要使用wifi遥控电脑，如果路由器没有wifi，那就用不了这项功能了，不过如果想使用视频那样的可以看到主机屏幕遥控，还需要支付15美金的费用（我觉得是相当值的哈），否则使用的时候iphone屏幕中看到的是黑色一片，什么也看不到。如果你不想支付那15美金的话，这款软件已经被破解了（破解的人肯定不是我啦）查看这里。

到底是原装的东东，等着用喽，不过手写的话，真的需要弄支笔了，那么粗的指头，写出来会是什么样地捏。

It seems like Apple’s postponed OS, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is finalized. Various Mac sites are reporting that the new operating system could be unveiled as early as October 26.

Though, as MacRumors noted, a Gold Master hasn’t been declared yet. In the software world, an application reaches Gold status when the code has been completed and it is considered very stable.

The next level is RTM or Release The Manufacter, which is version to be burned on distribution discs.

Earlier this year, in April, Apple was forced to postpone Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in order to meet the announced release date of iPhone.

Previously to the announcement the company had plans to release its next OS in June at Worldwide Developers Conference.

Mac OS X 10.5 is the first operating system to be released after Apple has started using Intel processors in its Macs.

Leopard, which considered by Apple as the main competitor of Windows Vista, will have many consumer-oriented features including sophisticated data backup, improved graphics and a series of new user control abilities.

According to AppleInsider, the last pre-release of Leopard was unveiled in late September under the name Mac OS X Leopard build 9A559. AppleInsider believes that this could be the release candidate to be declared Gold or RTM.
