Today while I try to update my iPhone (3GS) to iOS 5.0 beta 1, I get error 3002! fortunately I found that this error only happens when I try to “update” so I try “restore” mode and it works without  any problem!

Stay Tuned!

• itunes_10.5_beta__mac.dmg [Mac OS X]
• itunes_10.5_beta__windows.zip [Windows 32Bit (x32)]
• itunes_10.5_beta__windows_64.zip [Windows 64Bit (x64)]

Did you hit a 1604, 1603, 1602, 1601, 1600 error while trying to restore your iDevice (iPhone, iPad, etc) to custom firmware that created by PwnageTool or Sn0wbreeze ? Today I found a solution these errors. iH8sn0w has released a new version of iREB tool, which is compatible with iOS 4.2.1.

iREB is a tool that will put your device into a pwned state so that you can upload custom firmware to it.

Requirements You should have the latest version of iTunes and iREB. Here you can find it.

The Process

Follow me to bypass the 1604, 1603, 1602, 1601, 1600 errors:

• Boot your iDevice into DFU mode (Here you can find the instructions)
  • DFU for iPhone / iPod
  • DFU for iPad
  • DFU for AppleTV 2G
• Now close iTunes and launch the iREB tool that you had downloaded earlier
• Click on the relevant device from the iREB screen and wait for few seconds until you get a white or red screen on your iOS device
• Start iTunes again and select your iOS device from the left hand side side bar
• While on the iTunes window, hold the Shift key and click on the ‘Restore‘ button.
• Navigate and select the custom iOS 4.2.1 IPSW file to restore your iOS device with it

As always let us know the result.

I’m sorry for delay! No more talking, let’s do our job!

Recently Apple released a new version of iTunes tto support the upcoming iPad. According to iClarified this major update stops iPhones and iPod touches which use the tethered jailbreak with blackra1n from begin able to reboot.
This, only applies to windows users.

Although iH8sn0w has released a fix for blackra1n, there is no reason for updating to 9.1 (except for iPad users) because this fix is not officially supported by Geohat.

UPDATE : THE IPHONE DEV TEAM HAS SAID THAT ITUNES 9.1 IS SAFE FOR ALL JAILBREAKERS AND UNLOCKERS. THE ONLY ISSUE IS THE BLACKRA1N ONE BUT HAS BEEN FIXED BY IH8SN0W ( link above).

Apple released their new tablet named iPad. As rumured it has a large (9.7 inch) multi touch screen, 1Ghz apple custom processor.

Actually there is nothing new because we see all these technologies in our iPhones. iPad has the same UI (as you see above) as iPhone. I think that apple made a big mistake by releasing iPad. They should work more on the UI, hardware, etc. There is no camera, no USB host, no more storage, … just 10 hours battery. Shame on you Steve!

[UPDATE, Works well on 3.1.3]

Appsync (installd) is now available for iPhone OS 3.1 (& iPod Touch).

Appsync is a mobileinstallation patch for OS 3.x. As one knows in order to install cracked iPA files via iTunes, we need to install appsync (3.x) or mobilesintallationpatch (2.x)

How to install Appsync for OS 3.1

1. Open Cyida
2. Add the hackulo.us repo (http://cydia.hackulo.us)
3. Search about Appsync in Cyida
4. Install “Appsync for OS 3.1″
