A user named CodeBlue has discovered an unconfirmed method that may allow you to downgrade your 4.0.2 iPhone to 4.0.1, jailbreak, patch the safari exploit with Saurik’s patch and be jailbroken safely. This may be your only option if you have an out of the box iPhone with 4.0.2 on it and no other way to jailbreak. Note that I did not try these steps. They sound good to me in theory and others are reporting some success. After all, you have nothing to lose if you are already stuck on 4.0.2 without an SHSH in Cydia.  Here are the steps:

1. Download 4.0.1 ipsw

2. Extract it with winrar or winzip  to a folder on the desktop. You may need to rename the firmware file from .ipsw to .zip to do this.

3. Open the buildmanifest.plist with the notepad. Search and replace all – 8A306 with 8A400.  Save. Repeat the same with the file restore.plist

4. Download 4.0.2 ipsw and open this with winrar or winzip. Note: do not exact it. Just open it and leave it open. You must use this exact file and not create a new one. If you have to create a new one for reasons like you are on OSX, then use zip command line not explorer or finder to make the zip. I will assume you are using the original file opened in winrar for the rest of this guide.

5. Take all the files from the 4.0.1 and drag them over to the 4.0.2 zip archive that you have open.

6. Delete all the dmg files that have 002 at the end, leaving only the 001 files left.

7. Save the archive. And rename it back to .ipsw if you changed the name to get winrar/winzip to open it.

8. Optional: (this helps ensure you get an shsh file request for the future, but should not be necessary to just restore 4.0.1).  Add the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com line to the host file. If you need help with this step, read this.

9. Put the device into dfu, open iTunes and restore the firmware you changed.

Check out the original post or give thanks to CodeBlue at his blog.

Note: this only works due to the similarities in 4.0.2 to 4.0.1 and 4.0. This will not be a way to downgrade to 3.1.x and may not work in future firmware updates.

Well looks like the Rumours are true, It’s time for you PS3 users to get some free games going!

Notes:

- Facetime/MMS Fix, Add http://iphonedelivery.advinux.fr/cydia to sources, install the package!!!!

- @StealthBravo Fixed the FaceTime/MMS Bug on JailbreakMe. Backup iPhone first, jailbreak, restore backup.

- chmod 0755 /var/mobile && chmod 0755 /var/mobile/Library && chmod 0755 /var/mobile/Library/Preferences
Then reboot, then enable facetime in phone settings.

- Those of you having problems where the device sits at the purple screen forever may benefit from clearing your cookies and restarting safari:
1) Put your device into Airplane mode.
2) Go to -> Setting -> safari -> Cookies -> Accept.
3) Double Tap home button.
4) Press and hold an icon to wiggle the task switcher icons and then quit Safari using the X.
5) Clear all Cache and cookies.
6) Open safari and go to jailbreakme.com and try again.

*Update* Unlock for Iphone 4 is now out (Ultrasn0w via Dev Team)

This should be a decent post for once. Lately I have been using Grooveshark on my PC because it’s a kick ass free streaming music site. I just recently noticed that it has an Iphone App. The only catch is you need to have a Jailbroken Iphone. If you do you can find this App in Cydia.

Now you will only have a small trial period (50 songs I believe), but to avoid this and be able to save the songs for later listening, follow the below guide. Also when he states to change the number, just make sure you increment the number. You can also do all this with Ifile from Cydia, no need to SSH. I may write my own guide using Ifile.

Grooveshark Free Guide

*UPDATE*

Kevin’s Guide

Requirements:

1 – Ifile from Cydia
2 – Grooveshark from Cydia
3 – Sign up for a Free Grooveshark Account
4 – This Guide will only be useful if you have a Jailbroken Iphone
5 – Not needed, but I find having Backgrounder makes this TONS easier

Keeping the “Trial” going Forever:

If your Trial happens to expire, simply open up Ifile and edit the following number in the file listed below. You will simply be choosing a bigger number, just increment the number. Make sure Grooveshark is closed and you should be back up and running. File Path = “/var/mobile/Library/Grooveshark/userInfo.plist”

Saving your Music:

Start by opening Grooveshark and searching for a file to play, there are a couple things you can do here. If you play the file it will save the file in “/var/tmp/temp.mp3″ once it has finished streaming the file. You can also click the arrow to the right of the File and choose the option to save for Offline play, this will ensure it’s downloaded. Once Downloaded you will notice a Green Arrow indicating it has been downloaded. So the rule for this is, Play the File and make sure it’s been completely Downloaded. You can then Background Grooveshark and load up Ifile, Copy the temp.mp3 file to another Directory and Rename the file. The Pictures below should demonstrate what I mean. Once moved to the Directory of your choice you can Zip the files in Ifile and send them to your computer using the Wifi Transfer. Also creating Bookmarks in Ifile might make going between Folders Much easier.

Hope this helps a bit, you can always use the other guide if mine is horrible

On a Side note it is an extremely good idea to get your SHSH Blobs for 4.0.1 FW for the Iphone as I believe there will be a jailbreak really soon. Apple has already stopped signing for 4.0, but Comex has stated that 4.0.1 is just fine.

Iphone FW can be Download Here

Use Umbrella to get your SHSH Blobs, even if you aren’t using 4.0.1 you can still backup your SHSH Blobs if you have your ECID

Just a couple notes for you folks wanting the new Shiny OS.

The Dev-Team has released a tool to Jailbreak iOS4, however there are some guidelines:

NB: With PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01 certain devices are not supported this is because they are not supported in iOS 4.0 or they are not supported by our software.  We’re working on ways to get past these restrictions.

• iPhone 2G  - not supported
• iPod Touch – not supported
• iPod Touch 3G – not supported

PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01 only recognizes the official IPSWs that came out yesterday. If you had developer access to the “4.0 GM” IPSWs, do not try to use those.

iPhone 3GS

Summary: Currently, PwnageTool only works on previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom.

• If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS with the OLD BOOTROM and you DID NOT use Spirit to jailbreak then you can create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore with your jailbroken recovery mode.
• If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0 PwnageTool 4.01

iPhone 3G

• If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.01 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.
• If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.01 ipsw using DFU mode.
• If you have a Jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone 3G it is very possible that this can fail from recovery mode, if this failure happens you will need to restore using DFU mode.
• As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on iPhone 3G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.

iPod touch 2G

• If you have an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.
• As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on non-MC iPod Touch 2G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

Baseband Unlock

• As you probably know by now, ultrasn0w has been updated to cover all basebands from 04.26.08 onward.  Many thanks to @sherif_hashim for finding the crashing command that the new ultrasn0w 0.93 uses!  He worked hard at finding the crash, and he kept it confidential until the right time to use it.
• Major props to @oranav (who found the earlier +xlog crash).  He also had this crashing command!
• iPhone 3G and 3GS baseband unlockers (those who rely on ultrasn0w to make phone calls) should always be very wary to update their firmware, however our Ultrasn0w application will unlock all recent (including the current) 3GS and 3G baseband firmware versions.  Once you are jailbroken using PwnageTool 4.01, install ultrasn0w from Cydia and you’ll be unlocked.
• Remember! This baseband unlock situation is rare, should you upgrade your iPhone blindly at the next iOS release please don’t expect an unlock – but for now you are OK (whatever state your baseband is in).

*Side Note*

If you have 3.1.3 on a 3GS and used Spiritjb, apparently if you have your SHSH file you can downgrade to 3.1.2 Custom FW and then use Pwnage Tool 4.01 to update. If you get stuck in a boot loop use iRecovery.

Alright, so iOS4 is out and you are impatient. If you want to upgrade with iTunes now, go for it!

Use the latest Redsn0w beta and point to the last iOS4 beta when jailbreaking.

Ultrasn0w has been updated already and can be found via Cydia.

I will post more with links when I have time

So I don’t recommend this at all, but for all of you who are impatient and want to show off…
