Since the jailbreak for iOS 5 is still tethered, I wanted to find out if my iPhone 3GS had the old bootrom version or the new one. The old version will allow you to have an untethered jailbreak, which means you will NOT have to hook up your iPhone to your computer to keep the jailbreak every time you restart your iPhone, you turn it off, or it dies.

Watch the video below to see how to do it. And for those of you who would like the written instructions, I put them below the video.

Enjoy!

Click here to view the embedded video.

Instructions

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

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

Here’s a visual for you that shows the difference between “Recovery Mode” and “DFU Mode”:



7. Click on the background image of your desktop (not an icon) OR click on “Finder” at the bottom of your screen in the dock, all the way to the left
8. Click on “Go” at the top of your screen in the menu bar and select “Utilities”
9. Double-click on “System Profiler”
10. Click on USB on the left
11. On the right, you should see “Apple Mobile Device (DFU Mode).” Click on it.
12. After you click on it, a new section should appear below it.
13. You should see “Serial Number.” Right below the serial number, you should see [iBoot-359.3] or [iBoot-359.32]. The second one is the new bootrom. The first one is the old one.



14. Done!

If you have the old bootrom, count yourself LUCKY! You can go and jailbreak/unlock your iPhone and it will be an untethered jailbreak, which means once you jailbreak it, it’s jailbroken. You will NOT need to hook up your iPhone to your computer every time your iPhone restarts or dies, which is what everyone else has to do as of now, until the iPhone Dev Team produces an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.

I love Facebook, but one thing that I don’t care for is that they automatically activate their new features in our profiles instead of telling us about it, and asking us if we want the new idea implemented into our profile.

So when Facebook adds a new feature, and we don’t like it, we have to go through the hassle of finding the new setting for the new feature, and then change it back to the way it was. But I suppose that is a small price to pay for a website that allows us to easily communicate and share things with people from all over the world in seconds…for free.

One of the relatively new features Facebook implemented is including your current location in your status update. I don’t know about you, but I’m not one to want everyone to know where I am at any given moment, and plenty of my friends are the same way.

In fact, it was one of my friends that posted a status update about this very issue. So I found out how to do it, told her, and then figured that there are plenty of other people who would like to know the same thing, which is why I am here right now, sharing this info with you.

So let’s get to it…

Here’s what your status update box looks like now if it still has the location in it. I’ve circled my location in red.

To get rid of the location in your status, do this:

1. Start typing a new status update
2. When you see your location being displayed at the bottom of the status box, hover over the city with your cursor and look for the “X” to the right of the city



3. Click on that “X” and your status updates will no longer have the location added to them.
4. You may have to click on the “Places” icon. It looks kind of like a hot air balloon.

And when you’re done, it should look like this:

That’s it. Pretty painless. So now you can continue to post Facebook status updates with your current location and destination remaining unknown.

For you unlockers and jailbreakers, today the Dev Team has just released a version of UltraSnow that is compatible with iOS 5! So you can now unlock iOS 5 and use it with any provider. Check out the new features in iOS 5 here.

Just know that no new basebands are supported. The update only adds support for iOS 5. The iPhone 3G and 3GS basebands supported are 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04, and 06.15.00. The baseband supported for the iPhone 4 is 01.59.00.

Also know that the jailbreak is only a tethered jailbreak, except for those of you who have the 3GS that has the old bootrom. So that means, if your phone powers down, you’ll need to connect your phone to your computer when you boot back up.

I would also suggest saving your SHSH blobs before doing this using this tutorial:

http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=16988

Here is some more important info from the iPhone Dev Team Blog:

We’ve updated ultrasn0w to be compatible with iOS5, which came out a few days ago. While ultrasn0w 1.2.4 (available now in Cydia) doesn’t add support for any new basebands, the update is required for any ultrasn0w unlockers trying out iOS5 (it remains backwards compatible though, so you should be able to use it no matter what firmware you have).

Note: there’s a special “trick” that iPhone3GS owners with baseband 06.15 need for iOS5. During the new setup screens you see when you start iOS5 for the first time, you’ll be asked about Location Services. Be sure to select “Disable Location Services” when asked! Later on in the setup, you’ll have the chance to turn on Location Services again when asked if you want to use “Find my iPhone”. It’s fine to turn it back on at that point, if that’s your desire (or you can always go in and enable it in Settings.app).

Also, some iPhone3GS users with the 06.15 baseband may have tried to install iOS5 using a stock IPSW (even though you should never ever try to use a stock IPSW if you’re an ultrasn0w unlocker). If you did try this, your baseband is probably in an inconsistent state, and you’ll need to reflash the 06.15 baseband again (using redsn0w). Be very careful if you use redsn0w to reflash the iPad baseband – don’t interrupt the process! And please avoid using stock IPSWs in the future Unlockers should never go near stock IPSWs.

So if you qualify, and you don’t mind having a tethered jailbreak, then here are the three things that you want to do:

1. Upgrade to iOS 5 without upgrading your baseband

Tutorial: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=17344

2. Jailbreak your iPhone

Again, this is a tethered jailbreak; the Dev team will be releasing an untethered jailbreak very soon, and I will post it on my blog when they do.

Tutorial: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=17342

3. Unlock your iPhone (if need be)

Tutorial: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4253

I may or may not do this tethered jailbreak. It depends how much time I have. But once they release an untethered jailbreak, then I will definitely be upgrading to iOS 5, and when I do, I’ll record the process on video and post it.

And when they release an untethered jailbreak and unlock for the iPhone 4S, I will buy the iPhone 4S, record the jailbreaking and unlocking of it, and post that as well.

Enjoy iOS 5 and let me know what you think of it!

A client friend of mine just sent me an email telling me about a killer free offer that a very well known and widely used online storage service is offering.

Box.net is an online storage service that, according to Box, is used by 73% of the Fortune 500 companies. Impressive.

Well, they just launched their new iPhone app and they are offering you a 50GB Lifetime account if you sign up before December 2, 2011. Pretty sweet, huh?

All you have to do is download the app to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, sign up for a free account, and you automatically get upgraded to a 50GB account for free.

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1

Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch

Step 2

Click on the “Search” icon on the bottom of the screen, type “box.net” (no quotes) in the search field up top, and click on “box.net” in the search results.

Step 3

Click on the Box.net app

Step 4

Click on the green install button in the upper right (it’ grayed out in the pic below because I already installed it)

Step 5

Launch the application

Step 6

Enter your email address, password, confirm your password, and click “Register”

Step 7

Bada bing! You now have a 50GB Lifetime online storage account with Box that you can use with your iOS device.

You can either upload your data from your iOS device or via your computer by going to box.net, logging into your account with the email address and password that you just used to register, and then clicking on Upload.

Here’s a tour of the service:

And here is the co-founder and some employees talking about Box’s simple, mobile, and open approach to online storage.

Apple has just released the latest version of their operating system for their iOS devices…iOS 5, and it’s now available for download! If you have an iPhone 3GS or 4, or a 3rd or 4th generation iPod, or either of the iPads, hook it up to your computer, open iTunes, click on your iOS device on the left under “Devices’, click update, and get rocking with the new iOS!

This is a really big update and has a plethora of new features, most notably an all new drop down notification system, iCloud (online storage and wireless syncing), iMessage (FREE text messaging and multi-media messaging among other iOS 5 users), lock screen access to your camera (can take pics immediately even if your screen is locked), major Twitter integration, Find My Friends (allows you to share you location with your friends, even just temporarily so they can give you directions, etc.), and an upgraded Safari browser, among others.

If you do not have at least iTunes 10.5, then you will need to do a software update to update iTunes first (Apple menu in upper left corner of your screen > Software Update).

Also being released today is an update to Mac OS X Lion, version 10.7.2, which includes support for iCloud.

To get the update, simply go to your Apple menu in the upper left corner of your screen and select Software Update. It will scan your computer and see what you need, and then list all of the updates. Just click the Update button and you’ll be good to go! Make sure you repair your disk permissions after you install the updates to keep you Mac running optimally.

So if you’re an Apple fan and have the devices to prove it, then go get downloading and enjoy!

The passing of Steve Jobs really affected me, more than I thought it would. I spent the rest of the day on the 5th, and all day yesterday reading up on him, getting to know him better. It also made me really think about what I’m doing with my life and where I’m going.

I’ll post a much longer blog post about Steve, his life, and how my life was affected by his passing later. But first, check out this documentary on his life. He was a very private guy, so there is not much info on him. But Bloomberg did a good job coming up with what they did.

Apple just announced the latest version of it’s iPhone, the iPhone 4S, and consequently their servers have been going down quite frequently today. I kept on getting an “Access Denied” error. Did you? Cleary the entire world is trying to see what the new iPhone 4S is bringing to the table.

Well, wait no longer! Here is the official Apple video telling you all about the new iPhone 4S, “The Most Amazing iPhone yet!”

This is GREAT news that BGR just broke yesterday, as I have been waiting forever to get the iPhone on T-Mobile so I no longer have to jailbreak and unlock it, and so I can finally enjoy 3G (or 4G if the iPhone 5 supports it) speeds, and not have to rely on Wifi to avoid dial-up like download speeds on my iPhone.

This is definitely a hopeful sign. In case you’re not familiar with the Micro SIM card, the iPhone 4 is the only cell phone that uses the Micro SIM (as far as I know). It was Apple’s way of trying to keep the unlockers from using the phone, although humans always find a way, don’t we? But the fact that T-Mobile is now selling/offering it makes my day, as it is a step in the right direction.

But we’re not there yet, as there has been no mention of T-Mobile getting the iPhone 5. Although if Sprint gets it, T-Mobile better get it, or someone whose name rhymes with “sleeve” will be getting a passionate email from me. ;p I’ll still love the guy, though.

Since AT&T might buy T-Mobile (Sprint is still trying to block the takeover), T-Mobile should pretty much be guaranteed to get the much anticipated iPhone 5. Only time will tell.

Some more great news is that BGR just updated their blog post with the news of their Best Buy source saying that it is very likely that presales for the iPhone 5, including Sprint’s version, will start this week!

Of course, those who take advantage of this will still need to wait until October to get this amazing device in their hot little hands, or should I say, our hot little hands. I have heard in the past, though, of preorders arriving sooner than those that are launched in the store. That would be very cool.

With regard to the above leaked doc from Best Buy (assuming it’s legit, which is a good assumption seeing it’s coming from BGR), the giant electronics retail chain must get a tighter security on those internal docs, as we all know how Apple feels, and what they do about the lack of security for their upcoming products, as well they should.

If you can’t read the text in the doc, which is in the gray row, right below the yellow row towards the top, here it is:

BBYM: iPhone 5 product introduction expected, pre-sales begin for expected October week 1 launch/Sprint launches iPhone 5
(Apple product introduction/launch dates subject to change)

Whether or not T-Mobile gets the iPhone 5, I’m still getting it, of course. Couldn’t live without my iPhone, and the iPhone 5 is going to rock.
