Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 coming soon to fix 06.15.00 downgrade issues for some 3Gs users
Ever since we posted the 06.15.00 iPad baseband downgrade tutorial last week, we have received numerous reports from our readers that the baseband was just not downgrading. The process would go through normally and look like it was working, but in the end the baseband would remain on 06.15.00. Yesterday, @MuscleNerd announced that he has figured out why some 3Gs devices have been “refusing” the baseband downgrade. He says that he will be receiving a device to test it on this Thursday in order to address the issue which is apparently due to variations in the NOR …
How to fix crashing and “No Service” after downgrading 06.15.00 baseband
Several of our users have been reporting issues with the 06.15.00 downgrade method we posted early this morning. Some people have been having issues getting the downgrade to go through(still trying to figure out the cause of this), but others have been successful with the downgrade but have been experiencing crashing or “No Service” errors. For those people with crashes or “No Service” try going into Cydia>Manage>Packages and select MobileSubstrate, then go to modify then click “reinstall” on the next page click “Continue Queuing” and then go back to the packages page and find Ultrasn0w and …
Downgrade 06.15.00 Baseband to 05.13.04 with Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 (Video Tutorial)
This is a video tutorial that will walk you through downgrading your iPhone 3G/3Gs from the iPad baseband 06.15.00 to 05.13.04 which is another Ultrasn0w compatible baseband that will allow you to unlock and use your GPS capabilities. It is very important that if you have a 3Gs and it was manufactured on or after the 35th week of 2011 you SHOULD NOT install the iPad baseband. Doing so will permanently brick your cell radio. You can tell when your device was manufactured by looking at the 3rd, 4th and 5th digits of your phone’s serial. The 3rd …
MuscleNerd’s evolution of the iPhone baseband and unlocks discussion at HITB
As 3G/3Gs users patiently await the 06.15.00 basedband downgrade, a new video from this year’s Hack in the Box conference has been making it’s rounds on the internet. This is a discussion by @MuscleNerd on the evolution of the iPhone baseband and the subsequent unlocking tools that were developed by the iPhone-Dev team. It’s a long video, but it really gives you some great insight into what goes into unlocking the iPhone baseband and also why it is so difficult to create new unlocks for new basebands.

iOS 5.1.1 update released to fix AirPlay and Network bugs
Today Apple released a minor incremental update to the iOS firmware for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch which fixes some bugs with networking and AirPlay as well as a few other things. As always, if you are waiting for the release of an untethered jailbreak, please do not update unless you have your SHSH blobs and are on an A4 device or lower. For those on A5+ devices on 5.1, you will want to wait until @pod2g has cleared the update before upgrading your own device since there is always the chance that they patched one or more …

Hopefully the updated version of SAM will help you finally get your device …
pod2g now has all 5.1 exploits and is working on bypassing ASLR
It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the 5.1 jailbreak that many iDevice users are waiting for. The last time we updated the status of the jailbreak, @pod2g said that he and the Chronic-Dev team were working hard on the jailbreak but they didn’t have all the exploits needed in order to release a jailbreak. He also stated that even with all the exploits needed, they were still “weeks away” from being able to release anything.
pod2g released another update today that he now has all the exploits needed for the jailbreak. He is now …
